It's been a rainy


It's been a rainy day in Shell. That's fine with me, as we haven't had much rain lately, and I like the rain. I'll probably end up going for a run in the rain if it doesn't stop soon, and that might actually be a bit too much rain. Oh well, at least it's a warm rain.

Someone asked what I did at work today. Helped a client with who was having some problems getting his e-mail. He works at a Christian camp run by GMU that is six miles from Shell. The phone lines are terrible out there, so he has a very hard time making a connection. Then, one of the MAF staff people brought me a laptop that's not working. That was not solved today. Seems to be some sort of hardware problem. I spent some time on the phone with Brian up in Quito, working on some issues with the mail server there. Also installed some new content filtering software on our server here in Shell.

During the middle of the day I stopped for a half-hour spanish lesson. I'm going to be doing that four days a week. It really is time I put more effort into that, and now that things have settled down on the computer front, and can give language learning a higher priority.
