Nothing much happened today, except:
-
Internet working _barely_ if you lower your MTU to 500 or something like
that. The speed is around 250 bytes per second and the delay is over 3
seconds. Luckily we have a separate IP-over-a-man-with-a-USB-key for
uploads to incoming;
-
The restaurant for the food has been changed to one closer to the
hacklab and to the pool. They scared us a bit by having two starters
before the actual main dish, which sparked exchanges like: "Do you want
another main dish?" - "No, I want _a_ main dish!";
-
I got a bunch of blurry photos of a collibri eating a mango. It was just
too jumpy. There are several wild mango trees in the area and they are a
strong magnets for local birds;
-
There was a heroic guy climbing a huge mast without any safety to put an
antenna there hoping to improve the Internet situation. It looked scary
as the antenna mast itself is on top of a building which is on top of a
hill, but it did not help;
-
Last minute dash of DD's to the pool just before it was closing at
18:00;
-
Lots of cutting, folding, laminating and sorting of all the conference
stuff;
- Some more Mao and a bit of watching of "The IT crowd".
Note: the Internet is up and looks stable as of noon of May 11th. Yay!
