A few random pics. Enjoy!

Kyle Spencer (a good friend, fellow geek and all around nice guy) brought some equipment from the US for us. I had planned on using HFC money to pay for it because each item would eventually bring in money, but Tim Rosenberg surprised us and paid for it! Mery early Christmas from Tim! Pictured are two 3G routers (one that's for a single connection and one that load balances multiple connections) and several 3G antennas. WE're going to test these in the Internet Cafe at The KEep, and once we have it working, we'll try to sell it as an Internet solution for NGO's and organizations that are paying way too much for non-bundled Internet. We're lookng to ties these with proxy servers and other Linux software to optimize the "Internet experience" (as Orange calls it). Thanks Tim and Kyle!

Here's one f the 11db antennas temporarily mounted on a door frame. This boosted a local Seminary's connection from two bars to five. This bad connectivity is one of the reasons the seminary doesn't use 3G, which is faster and could save them money versus more expensive landline services.

This is the HFC work bench at The Keep. We take over one of the tables for repair work and maintenance.

This is Fred and Randy, a friend of ours that lives in Kampala. We've known him for a while now through our friend Jonah, who we miss something awful now that he's in the US. Recently, Randy's been hanging out in Jinja because his tech gig in Kampala is finishing and he's thinking of moving to Jinja. Having him work with us this week has taken a real load off of me. I feel so much less stressed knowing that he can handle some of the work that only I can do. I'm trying to get him on board full time with HFC. Here he's showing Fred how to do driver updates through Windows 7.
