FoxClocks 2.9.35 is awaiting approval from the editors at addons.mozilla.org (which typically takes upwards of two weeks); you can download it here, or wait for it to be approved, at which point Firefox should automatically download the new version.
If you’re experiencing Firefox lockups on Mac, do consider downloading this version.
[Edited from 2.9.33.]
Looks like FoxClocks is impacting Firefox startup times. See here:

I’ll be looking into this issue when I return from vacation in early May.

Some pics from Peru and Bolivia. A work-in-progress…
I think this shot from the minor peak of Gokyo Ri makes a good desktop (right-click and save for much bigger). For a sense of scale, check out the blue roofs of the village of Gokyo 600m below.
More photos from the ‘Salpa Arun to Gokyo’ trek here.
After some downtime in Kathmandu, I joined the legendary yakshaver and friends for a walk round the Manaslu massif, including a detour to the remarkable Tsum valley. As the Manaslu trail wound down I headed west and north on the trail round Annapurna, while the rest of the group returned to Kathmandu. Here are some photos; descriptions to follow. Honestly.
I was lucky enough to spend October and November 2009 back in Nepal. In October I trekked from Tumlingtar, low down on the banks of the Arun Kosi, to the Gokyo valley high in the Everest region. Here are some photos from that trip.
Here’s a short video panorama from the summit of Drohmo Ri in the Nepal Himalaya, taking in the huge North Face of Kangchenjunga. Drohmo Ri, not much more than a vast grey-brown hill above Pangpema (Kangchenjunga North Base Camp), is often said to be over six thousand metres high; but Google Earth, my altimeter and a number of other sources have the altitude at something like 5970m. Oh well.
Apologies for the heavy-breathing soundtrack.
Kangchenjunga, straddling Nepal’s far eastern border with the Indian state of Sikkim, is the planet’s third-highest peak. Although visible from Darjeeling – and therefore in the days of the British Raj a much better-known peak – it is relatively remote. From the Nepalese roadhead of Taplejung to Kangchenjunga North Base Camp and back would take at least two weeks. A more circuitous and leisurely trek, such as I recently took with the fine people from Project Himalaya, takes closer to three weeks.
Here are some holiday snaps from that trip. Words to follow.
