Dito pa ako sa barko. Kainis... Walang karelyebo. Bigat parin ang trabaho, laging busy, kulang sa tulog. Tama na! Gusto ko bumaba dito.. In English... Still on board the damn ship!

Believe it or not, there is now a brand new fiber optic cable between the UK and Ireland. Installed in the depths of the Northern winter... 144 fibers or 72 fiber pairs in all. We just doubled the existing number of fiber connections between the UK and Ireland. It was a tough damn job - but I was a small part of it - and we did it!!

Happy New Year to you too! (Sorry it's a bit late... I only just noticed your reply here. 'Been really busy with work lately...) Money makes the world go round, as they say... Even with this site, I'd love to keep it completely free for ever more. But there are costs involved and I'm going to have to get a bit more comercial with it if artfreaks.com is ever to become any more than just another hobby of mine. (I wish I could also say the same thing with my art... But that's why, as someone once very kindly advised me on another website of mine: "Don't give-up your day job" ...It's pretty crap!) One of the things that I am just trying-out, in order to see if I can get some income from this website, is a new feature in the Downloads module of these Forums. Try it-out! As a Full Member, you should now be able to upload high resolution image files of your general photography - and put your own price on what people would have to pay each time they download a file - (which they could then use for printing their own images for framing at home or in the office or whatever...) This is still very much in its infancy and, (at the time of writing,) I have initially pitched my commission on individual paid downloads at 10% If you decide to give the Downloads module a try, please do share your experiences/impressions with me...

"Asteroids" is alright too... It would look good on the wall of a trendy little cafe or resteraunt or something...

"Questions of Theology" is awesome. I love it! I'm not kidding, I could pay good money for a painting like that...

You're welcome! The articles section is still very new and there is not much in it. If you've got any of your own hot tips, please add them to the database! And here's some more of my rubbish: http://www.artfreaks.com/forums/index.php/gallery/album/97-some-more-recent-pastel-paintings/

Shawn Norring, Fred Logan and Richie Wilson
smb commented on smb's gallery image in Ships, boats and life at sea
I was shocked to learn in the Maritime Press Clippings, http://www.maasmondmaritime.com/ of the untimely death of Shawn Norring, (the guy on the left, in the brown jacket...) Shawn was a well-liked and highly valued member of the team aboard c.s. Pacific Guardian in March/April 2007. This was his first venture away from the Canadian Coastguard. I remember well, the CANTAT 3 cable repair, in deep water just off the Grand Banks. This was the ship's second attempt at the same repair, having had to give-up and head for port due to horrendous weather conditions a few months earlier. Things weren't exactly a picnic in April but I do remember we had a great team on that job! Shawn was ever cheerful. He adapted very quickly to his new working environment and he was very much a part of the team on that ultimately very successful cable repair. Shawn will be remebered fondly by all who had the pleasure to sail with him during his short period of time with Global Marine Systems. -
Very emotive... Nice work!

Happy New Year to all of my family and friends - including those I know in person, all of my online friends and especially to all of the highly valued members of my websites!

I love this - and all of your paintings!
