    I mean, I think after the umpteenth bug featuring 20 year old Java Enterprise code you aro only allowed to make minimal changes to, we all start to think about this don’t we?

        Cope's expeditions include riding a recumbent bicycle 10,000 km across Russia to Beijing (2000) with fellow Australian Chris Hatherly;
        rowing a boat down the Yenisei River in Siberia to the Arctic Ocean in 2001 with adventurers Ben Kozel, Colin Angus and Remy Quinter;
        and riding on horseback from Mongolia to Hungary which spanned over three years (2004–2007) and 10,000 km;
        He has also traveled into North Korea, among other places.
