I cannot help myself. Here’s a story about records, books, postage, recycling and reuse.
This box started out life containing 16 copies of Patrick O’Farrell’s paperback book with ISBN 0-86840-635-X, sent from the University of New South Wales Press (printed on the box). It must have been sent to Readings bookshop in Carlton, who reused it to send something to Dr Phillip Law (1912-2010) at his home in Canterbury (address label on the bottom of the box, unfortunately Post Paid Australia with no postmark). Dr Law used it to store excess publications about Antarctica (inscribed on the box in his own hand). On the death of Dr Law in 2010, the box ended up with us, the eScholarship Research Centre, who have been working with Dr Law on his papers since the mid 1980s. We have the final material from Dr Law now processed and boxed in special National Library of Australia boxes, ready for transfer to their custody.
Looking up the book in the National Library of Australia’s Trove catalogue and checking the ISBNs of the different editions reveals that this box originally held the third edition of The Irish in Australia, published in 2000.
I needed a box to send 18 copies of a book we have just published (November 2011), Founders, Firsts and Feminists: Women Leaders in Twentieth-century Australia, to a conference being held in Canberra next week. This box did the job nicely!

Again, as seen from Howth. I made this image by stitching together four photos using Hugin a beautiful and opensource GUI for the technically amazing and opensource Panorama Tools. Click on "All Sizes" above the photo for a nice big view. Actually, the Image continues on to the right for four more photos so you could see the Dublin power station but I don't really know how to use Hugin so that side of the image was kinda distorted. Hey, got a video done of the day's adventures!

Don't know why I haven't put this up before, probably because it was the photo I based my buddy icon on (as Flickr calls it) or avatar (as others of you call it). It was taken in Botswana last year by Gemma Bentley, the archivist at the University of Botswana, with my Minolta camera. She'd invited Shannon and I over to her place for dinner, and we had a lovely time. I can't remember this young woman's name. She lives with Gemma and studies at the University.
I made this black and white and cropped it and gave it to my publishers for my author photo. It's the nicest photo of myself I've seen since my wedding photos in 2000 (a long time in between drinks one might say). Most of the time I look crap and feel crap too :( but I was happy this day.
Russ was visiting me at work one day and I was showing him through by Botswana web pages (there are three, he'd not twigged before, so obviously my design is not user friendly). I still like doing this, and not all the photos here are in Flickr. He thought I'd take to Flickr like a duck to water and I did. The first stuff I uploaded was for work - this shot of my friends Joanne and Sophie at the launch of the Chinese-Australian Historical Images in Australia website.
So, this is my 500th photograph uploaded to Flickr! I've had so much fun!
