35 / 366 - Took delivery of a box of Eilles Tea from the great folks in JJ Darboven Ireland in Dun Laoghaire.

34 / 366 – Went to visit a customer, and on the way into a meeting room I took the chance to snap the Aviva Stadium as they had a great vantage point from thier offices.

33 / 366 - Walking through Dundrum today, I happened to notice this little box on a wall with a warning sticker on it. No idea what it was but pretty certain that I was not going to touch it.

32 / 366 - Went to visit a customer in Citywest today, a place I have not been to see in a while. In a previous existance I spent a lot of time working for companies in the park and not a week would go by without me visting.

Took the chance to take a photo of the Tony Ryan Academy, a very interesting shaped building. One that I usually just referred to as the egg.

29 / 366 – Had a very lazy day today, and only ventured out to the petrol station to buy some munchies to eat while watching the new series of Top Gear that starts tonight.

28 / 366 – Hugely successful, the Dublin Bikes provides a bicycle rental service where people and pick a bicycle from one of the many Dublin Bike stations dotted around the city drop it off any an other.

27 / 366 – Last day of this trip to Holland, went to visit the great folks in Open Text FDDG. This is the Zuidtoren building in Hoofddorp where their offices are located on the seventh floor.

26 / 366 - Had a chance to get in to Amsterdam this afternoon, on the way to the Van Gogh museum walked past the “I Amsterdam” letters outside the Rijksmuseum. It was very popluar, with lots of people taking photos of each other and the letters. So much so I couldn’t get a chance to take photo with the letters on their own.

I have to therefore admit that this is a photo taken from the back and reversed. Sorry for cheating.

25 / 366 – After meetings today, we were taken to dinner in the Lloyd Hotel in  the Eastern Docklands of Amsterdam. From the moment we stepped in the door you could tell its a very interesting building.

We were proven right, when just before dinner we were treated to a talk detailing the history of this unique building. “Commissioned by the Royal Holland Lloyd it became a building to temporarily house immigrants, a prison and later was a collective building of artists’ studios, but is now serving as a hotel since 2004 It is an official national monument of the Netherlands. became a building to temporarily house immigrants, a prison and later was a collective building of artists’ studios, but is now serving as a hotel since 2004 It is an official national monument of the Netherlands.”(source: Wikipedia)

Today’s photo is a display of keys, snapped just as we were leaving the building.

“Louis Winthorpe is a businessman who works for commodities brokerage firm of Duke and Duke owned by the brothers Mortimer and Randolph Duke. Now they bicker over the most trivial of matters and what they are bickering about is whether it’s a person’s environment or heredity that determines how well they will do in life. When Winthorpe bumps into Billy Ray Valentine, a street hustler and assumes he is trying to rob him, he has him arrested. Upon seeing how different the two men are, the brothers decide to make a wager as to what would happen if Winthorpe loses his job, his home and is shunned by everyone he knows and if Valentine was given Winthorpe’s job. So they proceed to have Winthorpe arrested and to be placed in a compromising position in front of his girlfriend. So all he has to rely on is the hooker who was hired to ruin him.” (source: IMDB)
