Takoradi

We are nearing a place where we are ready to go set up the other sites. One is a shore office in Takoradi and the other is to redo the vessel by migrating it to the corporate domain. The servers were packed and shipped out today to Takoradi and tomorrow we are flying out to collect them and set them up. I get all of one day (assuming the shipment arrives timely) and then we are off to the Kobyashi Maru. One member of the team went ahead and is there now getting the Internet set up. You can hear the cheering from here, 130 miles away. Well, not really. But I assume they are ecstatic.

Tomorrow begins a big push towards the finish. If you had a chart of our progress it would look rather flat up to this point because we had to get the infrastructure issues addressed first. But these next sites should go up pretty quickly and I am hoping by the end of the week we will have a lot to show for it. So this is the big bubble in the progress chart! None of us want to be in Takoradi or on the vessel very long so we will be pushing hard to get it done quickly. There won't be a lot of sleeping going on this week...

  2. Thanks! No power issues here but then we didn't add the PDUs to the rack so... how could there be!
