   I hope Hugh had a window seat - or did he just get very friendly with the person sitting next to him?

   Lovely photos though. I remember flying over Mont Blanc on a beautiful day - spectacular.

   From Blog HQ:

   The good news is that our new(ish) applications engineer, David, has been busy firefighting and implementing various anti-spam measures. We鈥檝e also commissioned Headshift to conduct a full technical review of our blogging platform, the results of which will be delivered on November 19th. I don鈥檛 want to pre-empt that report

   IT IS CLEAR THAT MUCH ADDITIONAL WORK WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS 502 PHENOMENON CAN BE EXPLAINED

   ... I don't understand it at all.

   AFTER ADDITIONAL STUDY BY MY COLLEAGUES

   ... They don't understand it either.

   For Hugh, with apologies and RESPECT!

   I decide to probe Berry about his attitudes on the widely accepted virtues of the view of fragile Earth from space. Berry has a certain puckish grin when he is out to puncture some popular icon, which spreads across his face as he drawls, "That view didn't do much for me; it looked like a poor old Christmas ornament." I ask him if he doesn't find, as I do, the experience of flying over a piece of country particularly beautiful and enlightening about, say, the geology, hydrology, vegetation patterns and so on. Berry chuckles.

   "Tanya will tell you about me and flying. As soon as that thing takes off, I'd just as soon lie down in the aisle between the seats like an old dog (pronounced "dawg") and go to sleep until it's over."

   Then he looks at me and, a little more seriously now, polishes his argument.

   "Let's say you were from somewhere else, seeing this Earth from space for the first time. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be satisfied with that view; I'd want to get closer, walk around on it, even get down on my hands and knees. That's how I prefer to see the Earth."

   Ed @ 04

   Thanks for the link

   Robin Hamman's article is clear and concise and I now (as a absolute non-techie) have an idea of what's been going-on and going-wrong - a picture paints a thousand words

   It'll be interesting to read Part II of Mr Hamman's report
