Christmas Eve on the Lee
Christmas Eve in Cork, and the fog had settled over the south channel of the Lee and stayed put all morning. It was 2005, and the banks of the river looked very different. The old tax office still stood on Sullivan's Quay, and the Peace Park opposite still had trees and overgrown shrubs hanging over into the river. -

Cork Wash
The brushes spin past in blue and yellow while a black Micra sits in the middle of the cycle. This was 2005, so the driver had a newspaper open across the wheel to fill the couple of minutes it took. Water beads across the bonnet and the Cork plate, 98-C-6325, reads clearly through the spray. A small wait, before mobile phones took over that kind of dead time. -

This is Dunnes in 2008
The Dunnes Stores on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork was only a muddy construction site in March 2008. Only the distinctive yellow front of the building remained at this time.

Kids and Mazes on Grand Parade
Cork was wrapped in a thick fog on a mild Christmas Eve in 2005. Children were running around a painted maze on the ground near the National Monument on Grand Parade and having a great time.
Twenty years ago! So much has changed.

Father Mathew’s Legacy in Blue
Father Mathew Hall in Cork is well known to generations of school kids who participated in the annual Feis Maitiú there. This is what it looked like in 2006 and while it is still blue, the overhang appears to be gone if you look at it in Google Maps.
I hope they still play bingo there. 🙂

The Crowd on Pana
A huge crowd gathered around a man on stilts holding 3 flaming torches on St. Patrick Street, Cork in 2006. See how homogeneous the crowd is? A similar photo today would show a much more diverse set of people in modern Ireland.

Dingle’s Gentle Sentinel
Many years ago while travelling on the Dingle Peninsula we came across a donkey in a field in Muiríoch. I posted a photo of him in 2007 and again in 2008 but I happened to come across this photo of him and did a little work on the photo.
There’s a chance this donkey is still alive. Hopefully he’s well cared for and enjoying his elder years.

Benion makes a save
It was October 2007, and I was in Cobh to photograph the game between Cobh Ramblers and Dundalk FC. The visitors were beaten 1-0 but Chris Bennion stopped this attempt on goal.
I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve photographed a football game, but this was the first one, a long time ago!

Celtic Tiger Cranes and the Elysian Rising
Cork City during the height of the Celtic Tiger era, captured in 2007 when Ireland’s construction boom was at its peak and the city skyline was dominated by cranes building new office blocks and apartments, including the Elysian Tower.
It would all come crashing down financially within a year. Some apartments in the Elysian were vacant for years.

Casting Lines in Cobh
On a warm August day in 2005, you’d find plenty of lads fishing in Cobh, including this bunch who were brave enough to fish from a crumbling pier.
Another photo from that evening shows a disturbance in the water at the mouth of Cobh harbour, where I presume sprat are desperately trying to get away from mackerel and other fish. I wonder if that still happens?

Cork Before The Elysian
⚬Remember Cork before The Elysian was built? It’s almost 20 years old now, so there are many people around who never saw Cork City Hall like this, without the tower block behind it.
Cork City Hall, completed in 1936, was built to replace the previous City Hall that was destroyed during the Burning of Cork by British forces in 1920. The building’s limestone facade and copper dome make it one of Cork’s most recognisable landmarks. This 2005 photograph predates the construction of The Elysian apartment tower, which began in 2006 and became Ireland’s tallest residential building when completed in 2008. The development of The Elysian and surrounding high-rise buildings fundamentally altered the skyline visible from this vantage point, making this image a valuable historical record of Cork’s urban landscape before its dramatic transformation during the Celtic Tiger era.

Twenty Years at Automattic
When I started working at Automattic, it was just me and Matt, and two servers. A web server and a MySQL server. I knew the root password to WordPress.com. I needed it as I spent a lot of time tuning the MySQL server in those days, but I was thrilled when we got some real systems people on board like Barry. I have to admit to a certain sadness when I ran
Automattic in 2006, when my luggage was delayed and I was wearing a British Airways tshirt.sudoand the password didn’t work, however.When I started working at Automattic, many of my colleagues I work with now, were still in school. There was a time at the start of this year that my team had the first employee and the latest employee on it. I didn’t have any grey hair then, and well, I have some now, and I make jokes about the “old days” but there are quite a few of us boldermatticians.
I spent most of my time working in Vim, in an SSH session, but that’s changed to VS Code and Cursor in recent years. I tried the Vim extensions for those, but they never felt as good as the original.
Now, it’s the upstart AIs that are disrupting everything related to my job, but while it certainly feels like it’s making me a lot more productive, apparently it’s making me dumb too. Time will tell. Andrej Karpathy uses a number of analogies in this video at Y Combinator, but one thing that resonated with me was his comparing the state of AI to computing in the 60s. There were massive mainframes that people used thin clients (or punch cards!) to interact with them. In 2025, the AI is this brain in the cloud we talk to and ask questions of in a chat window. What’s it going to be like in another twenty years?
Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the next twenty years at Automattic!

Abandoned Train Station
Abandoned Train StationIn Mogeely, East Cork, there’s an abandoned train station from I don’t know how long ago. According to Wikipedia, it’s unlikely that the station will be restored because there isn’t enough demand. The Cork-Midleton line will, however, open by 2008.
While researching this post I found out that the nearby town of Killeagh was an important place in the Fenian Rising of 1867!
