Battery Power

A quick entry before I'm off to bed. We made some good progress today, but also had some hiccups along the way. With the help of Jonathan Dukes, who arrived yesterday, we were able to get the battery inverter working properly. Now when the power goes out, we will still be able to run the network and VSAT while we get the generator going. That's a relief, as it means we don't have to be concerned about what's going on with the generator quite so much.

This evening we weren't able to browse the web, and a phone call to the 24/7 tech support center at SDN Global was in order. They couldn't see anything wrong, so I reset the satellite modem, and that fixed it. We've continued to have trouble with the D-Link access point, and I can't wait to stop using that. I'll have another system to install sometime this weekend.

I'm feeling much better today. It continues to be very hot here, and that is draining after a while. Every day I find myself longing to be able to drive up to the Rio Alpayacu and go for a swim. I still have almost three weeks before that will happen.

Oh, almost forgot. I've started posting photos. They are in the photo gallery.
