... regarding the learning methods of the language courses
"I am very content with your language course and I really enjoy learning with it. I like the well-structured way of the course and the wide-ranged possibilities which makes learning so much easier and varying as well. Besides I think it's great you can choose listening to the language as often as you want to as well as being able printing the vocabulary on flashcards. In any case I would love to thank the experts who developed the course very much! It's fun to learn a new language with this course!"
(Gillian Smith)
"This is my first exercise program for pc ever - especially the offered possibilities of long-term memory training as well as the literacy test which are very helpful for me are fascinating to me."
(Tom Livingston)
"It is a more fun approach than other courses.
I like the repetition rhythm of words I do not know. I need a visual approach to support aural learning."
(Andrea Matrosovs)
"It speaks the words so I can hear pronunciation instead of just guessing how written words might sound.
I also like the multitude of ways the words are presented: written words, pictures, fill in the blank sentences, spoken dialogue, etc.
This allowed me to speak more authentically and to learn the words more thoroughly.
This is the best program I have used."
(Ashley Crust)
"The varied learning possibilities are gorgeous! They have something in store for everyone.
Especially being able to print flashcards has been new to me an I think it's brilliant! They are really easy to print and front and back are fitting on top of each other! The every-day situations make learning much easier since sentences out of everyday life are a great motivation learning a language. Learning varies at all time because there are so many different ways teaching myself the language."
(Kelly Roberts)
What our clients say
... about the long term memory learning method
"I've been mostly impressed by the long-term method for learning new vocabulary, since I didn't expect knowing the vocabulary after a pretty long break. The explanation of the psychological backgrounds and the systematics of the memory performance respectively makes the learning methods much more comprehensible."
(Scott Wilkinson)
"I've been using this language course for 4 months intensively. I think it's really convenient having the possibility to repeat the vocabulary regularly with the long-term memory learning method. I really enjoy this programm for it keeps asking until the correlate word is typed in correctly. Moreover the digital speech of the respective vocabulary is also great."
(Gautam Kumars)
"I was especially amazed by learning with the longterm-method. The records of the entire vocabulary and dialogues sound very natural and realistic since they were all spoken by native speakers. Putting it in a nutshell, it's a well-made language course."
(Marcus Großkautz)
"I'd learned this language already basically before but I couldn't remember hardly anything about my basics, nevertheless I was able to reaccess the language. For this I'm sure the clear and logical structure of the language course is crucial and also the opportunity to operate within the program in so many different ways."
(Jean-Baptiste Novak)
"Every day before I go sleep I'm practising my vocabulary with the long-term memory learning method. By purchasing your software I've made a good decision since it's fun learning and gives me a sense of achievement most of the time. As far as I'm concerned this course enhanced my linguistic knowledge because it's design is varying. Another great advantage is the course being suitable for all kind of operating systems. This is what I really like about it since I'm a Linux user and therefor limited concerning software."
(Chris Worthingham)
"The long-term memory learning method for keeping vocabulary in long-term memory is, in my opinion, particularly efficient. Thereby you are developing ambition which keeps you going. Also the pages which hide the vocab are tremendously good to get a quick overview and are very suitable to repeat in fast track. I find the displaying of the last seven wrong inputs in the long-term memory learning method very supportive."
(Frank Collins)
"I particularly like the vocabulary-learning function with the long-term memory learning method. Not only is this method incredibly efficient but also very motivating, because success becomes apparent immediately and you can feel certain having the vocabulary stored in your long-time memory. A great advantage are the crystal clear voice recordings which don't left you thinking about the pronunciation and makes naturally learning possible."
(Guillaume Guerrin)
"I really do like learning using the long term memory learning method. Using the pc is much simpler than writing manually. Moreover using the pc is much more efficient since you can not betray yourself - The system is correcting every single mistake also including emphasis which are also registered. Storing the different levels makes repeating the vocabulary and the texts based on the flashcard principle possible and thereby more effective. Learning foreign languages has become a hobby to me - for me, personally, not is it only learning by heart but a leisure pursuit."
(Emily Snyder)
"From an educational view the long term memory learning method is very well-structured.
We are able to store the results. Also we think the gap texts are great and the pronunciation of the audio files is especially audibly and clearly.
The lessions are kept short which is favourable respecting our age. Thank you very much for this language course."
(Richard & Francis Pennyworthy)
"The long term memory learning method makes sure the learned language remains "available". In comparison to other language courses the vocabulary are spoken and recorded by native speakers thus it's possible to speak virtually accent-free. The vocabulary being taught makes you capable to communicate with native speakers easily. People who struggle to organize themselves when it comes to learning a language are given the opportunity to work on daily exercises. What has made me choose your course is being able to determine by yourself how much and when you want to learn. The course provides a great variety of different learning aids. They really have something in store for everyone."
(Joseph Holmes)
"It's very beneficial being able to organize your individual schedule and also being able to print out the entire course. The variety of the teaching materials is also great.
When it comes to learning vocabulary by using the long term memory learning method you only decide once how long you would like to learn per day. Once you've decided on how long you want learn a day, this will be happening automatically afterwards. So, once you get started you will pull trough.
This is also very helpful when having a hard time with motivation. Being able to decide on your own how long you want learn makes this course "feasible"."
(Henry Smalls)
What our clients say

Thereby, I can learn both the vocabulary training and text exercises quickly and continuing. Moreover I'm convinced by the different methods of vocabulary training and different learning methods. Above all the text input and the automatic testing of your knowledge gives me a quick and really good result."
(Chris Osborne)
"I enjoy the daily exercise program because it's easy to work on and it's varying. Mostly I use the long term memory learning method and the quick repetition. This course allows me to continue my studies on a daily basis and I feel really really motivated to learning another language."
(Jason Big)
"I find the daily exercises very encouraging. Having the possibility to exchange information with others and also motivate each other online helps me staying motivated. In general the program is designed logical and very comprehensible. "
(Mason Spooner)
"I like the interval repetition, the division in levels and the monitor how much time is left to achieve a level, I like the reward system, when it is possible to get other courses in other languages, I like the meditation mysic."
"I am given the possibility to determine the learning rate myself. The daily exercises are giving me the pressure necessary I need to do them.
Apparently different brain areas are getting activated by different learning methods of the program. In my own case, the learning success seems to be lasting."
(Craig Miller)
"I especially enjoy the daily exercises since they really enhance the quality of learning new languages. I'll try learning a new language every year. I also like being constantly encouraged by the program and getting learning tips. Without the learning tips it would definitely take me longer to learn a language and also the feeling of success wouldn't be as huge (as it is now)."
(Claudia Sawitsch)
"To me the daily exercises are awesome and be given the possibility to continue right where I stopped by the repetition.
Not a day goes by without me working with the program and working on my vocabulary knowledge at least.
Within almost 100 days I've stored about more than 1000 words in the long term memory.
I would like to thank you so much for this course. I'm enjoying it so much and it really helps me staying on track."
(Victoria Statham)
"The daily are exercises learning method seem very effective. It gives you a well-structures schedule that guides you trough the program.
And if there is time left you you could additionally use further training methods."
(Gunther Rummel)
What our clients say
... in regard to structure and content of the programme
"This course has broadened my vocabulary knowledge tremendously.
For me personally, listening to texts and thereby improving my own pronunciation was particularly helpful. Of course this is really motivating, helpful and is giving me a feeling of getting more and more confident when communicating with native speakers. The method by which you acquire vocabulary is excellent - at the same time it's a fantastic exercise to train my brain."
(Bill Green)
"I appreciate the course' systematic regarding the structure, the clarity regarding the titles you can click on.
I also like being able to print out whatever I like and having the correcting aid at my disposal. It's very beneficial having the opportunity to listen to the appropriate vocabulary. This course is definitely meeting my expectations!"
"I like being drilled - and measured against A1/A2 proficiency. I also like the dialogs. I go back over them again and again. (Occasionally the dialog translations are not real accurate but they do give the meaning.) After reading dialogs, I will also type them into my own document, give me a good practice writing. I also like the dictation."
(Ira Lund)
"I like the learning units being split in small very achievable units. The vocabulary being taught is very applicable especially for beginners - that's what I really like since I want to learn this language only on a "vacation" kind of level. Additionally I want to point out the learning monitoring and the opportunity given to print out the vocabulary which makes learning a lot easier for me."
(Mark Curtis)
"The listening examples are suitable for the daily use and are worth learning. Within a short period of time I acquired essential vocabulary which encouraged me to keep going. In addition the recording is realistic, comprehensible and I as a student was given the chance to get an impression what feeling for language means."
(Chester Fields)
"I'm really motivated by the short and not too challenging lessons. They encourage me to hang in there because they are easy to process by the self-learning principle. I really like the versatile testing options. Each term or sentence can be repeated - this way the pronunciation can be memorized much better."
(Christen Nixon)
"I'm very pleased with this course and it helps a lot with my studies. This course is especially helpful when it comes to learning vocabulary and a proper pronunciation. I'm pretty sure I would have given up learning this language if it wasn't for this course. I like the lessons being short and therefore clear. Also the flashcards which can be printed out are great for taking with you and learn whenever I feel like studying."
(Holly Wilkinson)
"The lessons are very versatile. This program also provides the possibility to print out cards which I think is very crucial. Since we're getting ready to move these lessons are great to get prepared.
This course is great!"
(Tess Carlson)
"I was positively surprised by the many lessons. The lessons aren't stuffed full and contain an appropriate amount of vocabulary. The dialogue texts are well-chosen and the basic vocabulary is extensive.
The flash cards which can be printed are a good learning method - it really worked out for me."
(Nicki Chestnut)
What our clients say
... about the price/performance ratio of the language courses
"What I like most about the course is the long term memory learning method. This way it's possible to learn vocabularies which you consider to be essential. Moreover I was surprised my the price... I think is a very fair price! Kudos to you!"
(Sebastian White)
"The price/performance ratio is amazing. Other courses which are comparable are much more expensive!"
(Andrew Drake)
"I would like to thank you for the excellent price/performance ratio. "
(George Murphy)
"I've tried bunches of language courses and this one is the best so far! The price-performance ratio is absolutely justifiable. The course' navigation is easy to handle whereas the course is both visually and acoustically orientated. This way learning is easy and progress can be seen very soon. This course is highly recommendable - especially for beginners."

text: Home > Products > Migrations > Reverse Time Migration Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Reverse Time Migration Seismic accuracy for complex basins. Paradigm® Reverse Time Migration (RTM) is a preferred solution for imaging seismic data in areas of complex wave phenomena. It easily handles the most severe combinations of structural dip with high velocity contrast that are common in salt basins and other structures with complex geology. Its turning wave capability provides enhanced imaging of steep dips and overhangs. Reverse Time Migration (RTM) is an integral part of these Paradigm solutions: Seismic Processing and Imaging Seismic Imaging RTM performs 2D and 3D prestack depth migration and modeling with isotropic and anisotropic (VTI & TTI) models using a two-way, finite difference solution to the wave equation, including density. The powerful RTM solution improves the accuracy and quality of subsurface images while achieving efficient throughput on high performance clusters, either CPU or GPU. Reverse Time Migration features include: Streamer, Ocean Bottom Cable, Nodal and Onshore data acquisition support Mirror Imaging workflows Subsurface acquisitions (e.g. VSP) Forward modeling to generate 2D/3D synthetic seismic data (add-on) CPU and GPU configurations with no "switch" costs Offset vector gather creation for velocity QC Absorbing boundaries, illumination, and pre- and post-migration low frequency noise suppression for improved imaging quality Poststack migration Paradigm RTM – Fully integrated Reverse Time Migration seamlessly integrates with Paradigm® Echos® as a licensed module. RTM's shot record approach is highly suitable for the Echos computational infrastructure for parallelizing workflows that operate on records of data. In Echos, one platform is used for data preconditioning, seismic imaging, and post-image processing. Velocity models developed and refined in GeoDepth® and SKUA® drive workflow efficiencies when updating a seismic image in RTM. RTM is also fully integrated with Paradigm seismic and velocity repositories. Accessibility to other Echos solutions allows users to: Apply intelligent muting Pre-condition data Stack common image gathers Perform post-image processing What is Reverse Time Migration? Reverse time migration belongs to the class of two-wave full wave migration solutions. Rather than performing imaging by extrapolating the data in depth, as in traditional one-way full wave solutions, the method solves the wave equation forward in time for the source modeling field and backward in time for the recorded receiver field for that shot. At each time step, the depth image is obtained by cross-correlating the two fields. Reverse time migration has been demonstrated to achieve a significant level of multiple energy attenuation by nature of its two-way extrapolation backward in time. Innovation meets complex objectives Paradigm scientists were recognized by the upstream industry over 30 years ago for early work on Reverse Time Migration. By leveraging the latest high-performance computing technologies and techniques, RTM is a candidate for application to any of the industry's richest and largest seismic acquisitions. System Requirements 64-bit Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 6.8 and subsequent minor releases, and 7.1 and subsequent minor releases GPU's (optional): NVIDIA 10 Series, NVIDIA 20 Series, NVIDIA K10 Series

I bought Linksys because the price is not too expensive and I've seen my friend use it with Linux. I choose Linksys WAP54G because that it was displayed at the store. There is no explanation that it can be run with Linux. The installation CD is only available for Windows. I though it's ok, my friend use it so I'm sure that there will be no problem with me.
Then I called him, he said, "You can set it up using Web browser with IP address 192.168.1.1". This is the default IP for most Linksys products. I turned on the device, plugged the network cable to my laptop, changed my IP address to 192.168.1.2, and test the connection with ping and got this message:

Mean that the default IP is different.
The only way to see the default IP is run with its CD installer and which I have to run it on windows. Lucky I still have my old PC that use XP. Finally, I found that the default IP is 192.168.1.245.
Set your IP address in the same subnet with Linksys IP.
First you set your have to set IP address in the same subnet with Linksys. If Linksys uses 192.168.1.245 then you can use from 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.244 or 192.168.1.246-192.168.1.254.

Silver Wheaton Completes Definitive Agreement With Vale S.A. and Definitive Agreement on New Credit Facilities
28 Feb, 2013, 23:03 GMT
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, February 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Silver Wheaton Corp. ("Silver Wheaton" or the "Company") (TSX: SLW) (NYSE: SLW) is pleased to announce that, further to the press release dated February 5, 2013, Silver Wheaton has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire from a subsidiary of Vale S.A. ("Vale") (NYSE: VALE) an amount of gold equal to 25% of the life of mine gold production from its Salobo Mine, located in Brazil, as well as 70% of the gold production, for a 20-year term, from certain of its Sudbury Mines located in Canada. The transaction is no longer subject to Vale board approval, which has now been obtained.
The Company will pay Vale, within 10 business days of this press release, total cash consideration of US$1.90 billion, and has issued to Vale 10 million Silver Wheaton warrants with a strike price of US$65 and a term of 10 years[1]. US$1.33 billion will be paid for 25% of the gold production from Salobo, while US$570 million, plus the 10 million Silver Wheaton warrants issued to Vale, will be the consideration for 70% of the Sudbury gold production. Silver Wheaton will make ongoing payments of the lesser of US$400 (subject to a 1% annual inflation adjustment from 2016 for Salobo) and the prevailing market price, for each ounce of gold delivered under the agreement.
In addition, Silver Wheaton has finalized the terms and entered into two new unsecured credit facilities, comprised of (1) a $1 billion revolving credit facility having a 5 year term (the "Revolving Facility"); and (2) a $1.5 billion bridge financing facility having a 1 year term (the "Bridge Facility"). The Revolving Facility and Bridge Facility replaced the $400 million Revolver Loan and the Term Loan, with the latter being repaid in full on February 22, 2013. For the Revolving Facility, Scotiabank and BMO Capital Markets acted as Co-Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank of Canada and The Toronto Dominion Bank acted as Co-Documentation Agents and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ (Canada), HSBC Bank Canada and Export Development Canada acted as Senior Managers. For the Bridge Facility, Scotiabank and BMO Capital Markets acted as Co-Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Royal Bank of Canada acted as Co-Documentation Agents and The Toronto Dominion Bank and Export Development Canada acted as Senior Managers. Combined with cash on hand, the additional credit capacity offered by these new credit facilities provides Silver Wheaton with sufficient access to capital to fund the upfront payment to Vale, while continuing its pursuit of additional accretive growth opportunities.
Silver Wheaton is the largest precious metals streaming company in the world. Based upon its current agreements, forecast 2013 attributable production is approximately 33.5 million silver equivalent ounces[2], including 145 thousand ounces of gold. By 2017, annual attributable production is anticipated to increase significantly to approximately 53 million silver equivalent ounces[2], including 180 thousand ounces of gold. This growth is driven by the Company's portfolio of low-cost and long-life assets, including silver and precious metal streams on Barrick's Pascua-Lama project, Hudbay's Constancia project, and Vale's Salobo and Sudbury mines.

Top 10 Linux FUD Patterns, Part 9
Linux FUD Pattern #9: Microsoft will sue you if you use Linux
Warning! Using Linux will expose you to legal action by Microsoft! At least that's what some would like for you to believe. Many months of news articles have focused on this issue, which is why it is on my Top 10 List of Linux FUD Patterns. Users beware!
I'll See You In Court!
Nothing instills fear like a lawsuit, and nothing prevents Microsoft from filing one against Linux contributors, distributors and users. The fact is, in the United States, you can file a civil suit against anyone for just about anything. Of course, court cases must have some basis in reality or they will never see a day court and there is also the risk of the plaintiff being counter-sued for bringing a frivolous lawsuit.
Patent Infringement
The legal threat posed by Microsoft is not so open-ended. Barring specific actions such as breach of contract, the legal issue that worries (potential) Linux users the most is patent infringement. This isn't your run-of-the-mill negligence case either, this is a Federal offense.
Patent law is codified in Title 35 of the United States Code. §271(a) begins by setting a broad scope of application for infringement: making, using, offering or selling a patented invention without authority. That pretty much covers all contributing programmers, users and both commercial and non-profit distributors.
Of course, there are conditions that nullify the infringement claim. The most obvious and most important is Prior Art, also known as novelty. §100-§105 describe the patentability of inventions and §102 specifies some of the conditions under which a patent is not valid including prior use of an invention by another party. Also, a defendant named in an infringement case may be able to prove that he is actually an "earlier inventor" of a method as described in §273(b), which renders the patent unenforcible against that defendant.
Microsoft vs. Linux
Microsoft has claimed that Linux violates approximately 235 patents. The company has reportedly "chosen" to not sue, and the rationale for this choice has been the topic of much speculation. Microsoft has not revealed the details of the violations, including the identifying numbers of the violated patents.
Lack of merit in the claim is probably the reason most people believe Microsoft has not filed – in other words, Microsoft is bluffing. Perhaps Microsoft knows that the patents are not enforcible for one reason or another, but it also knows fully that it retains power derived from fear so long as it can make threats that sound credible. If the claim does lack merit, that power would diminish rapidly once a case is brought against the first defendant. Either the patents would be found to be unenforcible (e.g. prior art would be proven), or legal action against one defendant would prompt the Linux community as a whole to adapt quickly. Details of the suit would provide the vital information required to ensure that Linux complies with all patents going forward.
Many Linux supporters and advocates disapproved when Novell and XandrOS succumbed to this fear when they signed their now famous "peace treaties" with Microsoft.
Besides using fear as a way to dissuade conversion to Linux or to encourage conversion away from it, another possible strategy might be to besiege Linux. By presenting a constant threat and keeping the Linux Community guessing, Microsoft may be trying to drain the time and other resources of the Linux community. Court cost aside, doing patent research and verifying that no rights were violated takes time and can be expensive. Also, Linux developers may spin their wheels fixing problems that might not actually exist, giving Microsoft more time to improve competitive features on its own OS.
Even if no action is planned, Microsoft cannot allow itself to gain a reputation for not defending its own patents. I have heard in the past that a failure to defend a patent may be considered abandonment or an implied license, but I cannot find any information in the legal literature to support this claim. Some may be confusing patents with trademarks in this regard – failure to use or defend a trademark against infringement may result in the loss of trademark registration. Nonetheless, it would not behoove Microsoft strategically to allow the abuse of legitimate patents.
Don't Worry, Use Linux
Here are some good reasons why Linux users should not worry too much about being sued.
Cost-Benefit. The decision for a company to file suit is ultimately a business decision, which means that the benefits of any legal action would have to outweigh the costs. Lawsuits are not cheap and the payoff for suing individuals for a few hundred dollars each for lost profits would probably not be worth the trouble. Defendants must be named, which means Microsoft would have to specifically identify Linux users, requiring a lot of paid hours of research.
Damage to brand. Suing those who you wish to be your customers is probably a very bad idea. Not only does it alienate those being sued, but it looks very bad in the eyes of other customers. Ultimately, it might cost Microsoft more in lost profits than what it was able to recover through lawsuits. Apple, IBM and Sun on the other hand, may be very happy with this outcome indeed!
Prior art. As mentioned above, the use of an invention prior to the grant of patent exempts the defendant. Much of Linux is based on other Unix variants and I'm certain the code looks very similar. DOS appeared on the scene in 1980-1981 and Windows became available for the first time around 1985. The first Unix was written in 1969. Don't forget that Microsoft did release an x86 Unix variant called Xenix in the 1970s and 1980s, but eventually sold the rights to this OS to the ne'er-do-well SCO Group.
Of course, contributors and distributors are much easier targets on all of these points, but if it were just that easy, I'd think we'd have seen some major court action by now.
ASUS On Linux & Warranties
Since the announcement that Best Buy started carrying the ASUS Eee PC 900A in their stores at a new US$299 price point (down to US$280 just yesterday), I've been keeping my eye on the market's reaction. Whilst researching, I ran across several interesting posts that tie into the "Linux will void my warranty" FUD pattern. Apparently, there have been two concerns over the warranty for this line of netbooks.
The first has to do with a sticker that appeared on the bottom of some units indicating that opening the unit will void the warranty. This is unthinkable – even a simple RAM upgrade, which many folks do immediately upon purchasing an Eee PC, requires opening the access panel on the bottom. Indeed, ASUS agrees and has publically clarified that this is not the case.
The second concern, and one that I find more interesting with respect to the FUD pattern, is that ASUS will only support the default Xandros flavor of Linux. Reportedly, "Asus is not responsible for software misconfiguration, such as troubleshooting an alternative operating system." It does not state that running another Linux flavor or MS Windows will void the warranty (in fact, the posting makes that explicitly clear), but it does show that ASUS is limited in the service they can provide if the OS is replaced. This is not much different than what HP's warranty conditions state.

No drama. Honestly I used it like every 30 minutes every day for like 6 years. But this year I really wanted to be more private and I realized that I was documenting my whole life to a lot more people than I'd like. Not because I wanted to but because hell, that's what facebook is. Especially now with timeline where it shows every post and picture you've ever made on facebook and gets rid of most of your privacy settings.Mo wrote:Congrats, I think. How come? Drama?
I use FB very little myself.
So I asked myself "what was life like before social networking??" I couldn't remember, and decided then it was time to let it go.

A cavalcade of athletes gone astray from their moral core, rambunctiously violent media personalities, accidental female empowerers, and a mysterious man in a mask. See them all below.
Remember Tiger Woods was last year's winner in a runaway victory. His prodigious coozehounding shocked the world, destroyed his golf game, killed his marriage, and cost him millions in sponsorship money and alimony.
This year, he's just happy to eat mac and cheese with his kids and ready to return to being the bland banana-in-the-tailpipe dude who just happens to be the best golfer on the planet. I'm sure he is happy to abdicate his throne to one of these fine Sports Humans:
1. Brett Favre
2. LeBron James
3. Karen F. Owen
4. Jay Mariotti
5. Jason Whitlock
6. Dude Getting Blown By Dog
7. The Machine
8. Ines Sainz
Favre is the heavy favorite, obviously, but remember that upsets are possible in SHOTY. Just ask Baby Mangino, who probably weighs close to 200 lbs. by this point.
Voting begins Monday.

Welcome to one of Ireland's quintessential wow moments: the monastic ruins of Clonmacnoise
Sure, you can get to Clonmacnoise by road. But for a real story to take home, the Early Christian site is best encountered by boat.
Easing along the River Shannon from Athlone, the mighty channel gently drags you from modern Ireland into the lush fields of Westmeath, until you round a bend and land right in the middle of the 6th century.
Dating from 545AD, the extensive remains of a cathedral, round tower, high crosses and no fewer than seven churches belie their boggy remoteness. Truth be told, Clonmacnoise was once a leading center of religion and learning in Europe.

Established by St Ciarán Mac a tSaor ("son of the carpenter"), Clonmacnoise was situated at the intersection of the River Shannon and Ireland's major east-west road at the time, a strategic location that proved crucial to its growth.
By the 9th century, it was Ireland's most famous monastery along with Clonard, and visited by scholars from all over Europe. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, it even became a burial site for the High Kings of Tara.
Clonmacnoise's early wooden structures from the 9th century began to be replaced with more durable stone buildings. Today's imposing ruins, many of which have undergone comprehensive conservation work, reflect the hive of activity that once bustled about the place – an impressive 1,500 to 2,000 people lived and worked here during the 11th century.
Walking around the lichen-spotted ruins today, it's easy to imagine the scurry of monks, the scrape and scribble of artists producing everything from manuscripts to works in stone and metal. One of the most impressive artworks is the ornate Bishop's Crozier now on display in the National Museum of Ireland…
Such was Clonmacnoise's importance to the island's Christian heritage, it's said that St Ciarán returned here centuries after his death to smite a would-be raider with the golden staff.
Three stars of Clonmacnoise are its splendid high crosses, now protected from the vagaries of Irish weather in the site's excellent Interpretive Centre (convincing replicas stand in their original locations). The most famous is the four-meter Cross of the Scriptures, whose sandstone is skillfully carved with intricate figures on all four sides.
It wasn't until the 12th century, over 500 years after its origins, that Clonmacnoise began to decline – due to an influx of competing religious orders from the continent and the growth of Athlone as a town to the north.
But Pope John Paul II certainly thought enough of Clonmacnoise to include it in his famous visit to Ireland in 1979. And its historical significance and popularity with visitors endures almost 1,500 years later.

Vividwireless chief executive, Martin Mercer, has dismissed the ability of Telstra's announced Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, claiming the telco's plans to operate the network in the 1800MHz spectrum band will result in network speeds matching only that of vividwireless' WiMax network.
Addressing attendees at the CommsDay Summit 2011, Mercer said a 4G world would demand at least 10MHz channels, or ideally 20MHz channels.
"Telstra has announced they're going to do LTE in the 1800 band which means they're going to have to re-farm a fair bit of 1800 to allow them to potentially hold together a pair of 10MHz channels," he said. "But that means that their 10MHz channels or their LTE network will run as fast as our WiMax network because our network uses 10MHz channels and speed really is a function of how much spectrum you're prepared to throw at it."
In February, the telco signalled a move away from its WiMax network with live trials of rival mobile technology, Time Division Duplex Long Term Evolution (TD-LTE), hitting peak speeds of 128 megabits per second (Mbps).
Mercer cited an "unnamed carrier" which advertised peak speeds of 42Mbps on its wireless network, claiming to note the carrier's fine print which he argued specified a range between 600 kilobits per second (kbps) and 20Mbps, not quite the claimed 42Mbps. He also spoke of further fine print noting those speeds are only within 5 km of the CBD and only in capital cities.
"I can tell you now, we deliver consistently at regular time of day variations six to eight megabits per second which is up to six times faster than what the 3G network delivers and is two times faster than the unnamed network carrier I mentioned before and their 'Ultimate' device," he said.
When it comes to speed, spectrum is the determining factor, he said, claiming that the industry constantly talks about theoretical maximums, peak speeds, actual speeds, and average speeds which does nothing but raise expectations, a sentiment echoed by Ericsson last December.
"It's not until 2014 or 2015 when spectrum is freed up with the Digital Dividend in the 700MHz band… that you can start to see a time at which Optus, Vodafone and Telstra might just get enough spectrum to be able to start to build real LTE networks," he said. "In about 2014-2015, real LTE will be unleashed when 20MHz channels are available, but that's going to determine that 20MHz channels are essential to speed and they're essential to capacity as well."
"Vividwireless effectively has four times the capacity that Optus, Vodafone and Telstra do, so when we build an LTE network on the East Coast by 2015, we'll build the 20MHz channels and we'll have the fastest network in this country because we'll have enough spectrum to deliver a consistent reliable affordable 4G wireless broadband service and it'll be true 4G, years before Optus, Vodafone and Telstra start rolling out 4G."
"In a 4G world the winners are going to be the people with lots of spectrum."
Computerworld is seeking comment from Optus, Telstra and Vodafone.
