Half day in kampala today for more dentist fun. The evening will be consumed by music night: live sound mixing and recording. A ton going on in Jinja.

Our client’s server is back up thanks to Sparks, only to get fried by horrible power spikes and fluctuations this morning. Apparantly the spikes were bad enough to rip through a regulator and a ups. As an aside, power has been horrible lately. Two weeks ago, UMEME, the power company, decided to feed 110 instead of 220. Last week they fed 250. I guess they’re happy to feed anything. Makes their uptime look better. The result was a surge (pun) of power related computer repairs which Sparks is swimming in.

Our training server is mostly up, but all the training software is still copying. It has taken 12 hours so far to copy the nearly 1TB of data. Training center problems are entirely bearable right now because I’m not sweating it’s survival. I am also realizing that the center is so much less stressful for me right now because some of the stress was somewhat related to less than honorable self-appointed “competitors” who quite frankly were seeking to profit from what we were trying to offer at “nearly free”. I didnt come here for profit, but it feels GREAT to realize that the dishonorable competitors will have to PAY their clients if they want to compete with FREE.
