Full day yesterday. I spent about six hours unsuccessfully trying to restore Internet at The Keep. It will consume more time again today. In the process I nuked our intranet site and our wifi landing page so I had to recreate them.
I worked with the electrician a bit on the inverter at the Keep that I didn’t have the money for, but miraculously someone repaid a loan in the exact amount I needed.
I finally finished burning all the operating system update DVDs for the community, but few people seem to be coming in for them. That’s a bit of a downer considering the pitiful bandwidth available and hearing from so many people that it would be “wonderful” to have updates on DVD.
Slogged through about 100 pending comments that were queued up on the website. I didn’t know they were there. I found about two dozen volunteer offers that didn’t make it to the volunteer form (emailed them), discovered more than one extremely generous offers of assistance (emailed them) and discover three irate donors whose comments had been queued no less than six months (still working on how to best make amends there).
I also sent a long email to the designer thats working on our new volunteer engagement and mapping system that we are hoping to launch at Shmoocon.
We had a few visitors from all over (northern Uganda, Kampala, etc) and we watched a bit of Monday night football which we get a day late on ESPN/DStv.
All in all it was a really long day.
