Not much to write about this week. We had a bank holiday weekend here in Ireland but the only day I could get out was Sunday, and it rained. That's how it goes I suppose. I'm back training and trying to improve my finger strength but taking it easy as there's a competition on this weekend. I'm looking forward to it but I'm not giving it my all as Font awaits at the end of the month and would rather save myself for that. Still though, it should make for some good photos. Theres a meet planned for the next day in Doolin if the weather holds.
The Mountaineering Council of Ireland (M.C.I.) have an exciting new website, its about time too. The last one was really, really, really bad. Seriously, it looked like somebody's kid brother developed it using the MS-DOS editor or something; Think <blink></blink>. The all new http://www.mountaineering.ie has finally dragged Irish Mountain Sports kicking and screaming into the late 1990s. Internet un-savvyness is quite a common thing in Ireland, as a nation we really haven't embraced internet technologies. Seriously I only know of one person who teleworks. ONE! She's actually on the MCI commitee come to think of it :/

There is the obvious exception of http://www.climbing.ie/ of course. They've been leading the pack for years now.
hey Phil,
interesting comment about 'internet unsavvyness' - I'd agree with you on that. Having seen how people abroad are making the most of the 'net, it's pretty different here for some reason. Never have been able to explain it though.
Out of interest, how did you get into doing the web development work?
I've been working in Software dev for about 13 years now. Its been about 10 since I did my first commercial web work (Although I did a lot of windows dev since then), I suppose I just waited until the opportunities presented themselves and then went after them. Its all about experience so you need to start clocking up on that.
