The past week has been spent trundling around Port Moresby with the Mission Office Director, helping out in various places, attending meetings, etc. While not a lot was completed, many things were started, continued, or moved along.
During the week we had a big shindig of MSC's from all over Moresby. An opportunity for the extended group to get together in one place, share a beer or three, and generally catch up and unwind. I was unexpectedly called on to speak. "Unaccustomed as I am ...." - not.
All of the offices have now been cabled and residence wireless networked in the 2 Mile main building. We have been gradually getting there over the past month and fixing computers as we go. Four totally dead machines have been resurrected, a further two upgraded, and a number of virus eliminated. Cabling of the Provincial residence should soon follow.
More training and web development also continued as we define and refine the sub-sites.
An interesting diversion on Saturday was a local traditional style PNG wedding ceremony. Albeit the bride and groom looked a little uncomfortable, indeed unhappy, in their regalia. However everyone else seemed in fine fettle.
Tonight we had another big party to farewell the Indonesian government official who resides next door. Another chance to share a beer, wine, etc. I spent some time speaking with him at length about the best places to see in Indonesia.
A busy week ahead beckons followed by a flight to Rabaul on Friday.
