Recon Day

After a hard sleep, I woke up around 8 or 9 in pretty good shape. My phone seems to be confused about what time it really is. I don't remember this being an issue last year, but somehow Daylight Savings is a real puzzle for it I guess. Oh well.

We visited the three locations with computers and did an assessment. One just had an issue with the BIOS and video settings, so I will get that fixed tomorrow. I couldn't quite remember that F8 will get you to Safe Mode. At least I got the hard drive to recognize. This is the Solar PC we setup last year. Incredibly, it worked well the entire time, even in the rainly season. I think it was very well cared for, and that made a huge difference.

At Khnar Thmei, both computers were non-functional. Apparently one was working the previous day, but their fix for a previous issue was to remove some RAM. Interesting. I wouldn't have gone with that as my first attempt. Both have already been dropped off at the computer shop and we're awaiting a quote.

Ellohim Center has 4 PCs, and is all setup by a Korean man and his family that run the entire building. A couple of theirs are down, but the caretaker said that the owner was already planning on bringing replacements.

Finally, we stopped by the Hospital. It goes without saying that they were a little surprised by the volume and quality of the instruments. I'll write more about this in a future post. I want to grab a couple pictures off the camera first and email them.
