A Geek On Everest

Posted by kdawson on from the high-adventure dept.

mysterious_mark writes "Recently I was recruited by Altitude Films to be the IT geek for a filming expedition to the north side of Mount Everest. I have written an account of my experience. It is a tale of high latency, low bandwidth, blown hard drives, and frozen fingers. Summit day is June 14th. See the expedition's site for the overall picture (caution: total Flash site)."

    Umm.... look at his resume on his home page - it's worse.

    Though he's an American, so it's hardly suprising. They all shoot their mouth off at the least opportunity. Just one of their objectionable habits, like invading places and then shooting their allies.....

    I suspect his British colleague (gadget guru and professional climber, Kevin Thaw?) really does all the work while he's out posing for the cameras!

    If you need to warn that it's a total flash site, then that should be a giant clue stick, it should not be posted, and it should not even be on the internet.

    Simple as that.
