Trip!

29 January, 2008 (13:02) | Curacao | No comments

Ok, so, against all advice, I’m trying to go to the US this Wednesday. My passport is still damaged, and Homeland Security has advised me on multiple occasions that I should not travel to the United States with that document. Anyway. The Company still wants me to try. Worst case, I’ll be on the next [...]

Dinner

Nothing much happened today. The container is still planned to leave Tortola the 25th, destination Kingston and onwards to Curacao. ETA yet unknown, I’ll try and get that as soon as possible from the shippers though..
In other news, I had a nice dinner with a friend, and afterwards made this picture in front of “my [...]

Nightmare

Ofcourse it wouldn’t be a real monday, if it wasn’t for a little trouble. Or actually, a lot, in this case. For some reason, the EVDO system went down, so none of the residential customers had internet access. After some hours of physical tracerouting, changing cables, switches, configs, etc, we figured out what the problem [...]

Yesterday, I went to Caracasbaai with a friend, to shoot some pictures. Some turned out quite nice! Next weekend, we’ll probably visit some other places around the island, just for fun. Hopefully, nothing will go wrong this time with the planning.. ;)
Also, word has it our container will ship from Tortola next Friday (the 25th). [...]

On the roof..

More testing today, this time at a real customer. According to the account manager, “it’s no problem to get on the roof”. YMMV. Check this picture of how we got up there.. ;)

Testing

The last couple of days, we’ve been testing the new WiMAX setup. Though it’s only one basestation, the coverage seems pretty decent. Obviously, there are no customers connected yet, we’ll have to see how that works out in the end. Still, it’s fun to do. Having a decent car to do it would probably help [...]

Fireworks!

With my new camera, I celebrated the beginning of 2008 at a friend’s place in Sunset Heights. Overlooking nearly the whole island, I was able to make some nice shots. Everything posted in the gallery, if you want to have a look :)
Too bad Soosh wasn’t here, though. Hopefully we’ll be back together soon!
