Tuesday 20th March

We finally get the internet connection set up in the office after a few false starts and we now have a nice little network with wireless and a couple of linux machines. I'm thinking of offering some computing courses and there is already some interest. Mostly people want to learn Word and Excel but I'm wondering if there might be interest in learning more fundamental computing skills. The electric supplies here are not earthed, and we need to use voltage regulators and UPS units. Small electric shocks become a fact of life.

Before school, we ride out to see the salt fields on the way to Kep. Salt water is pumped onto the fields and left to evaporate. The salt is then gathered up.






We are getting a bit worried about Mr Neil's Durian as the farmer thinks they are suffering from lack of water. The options seem to be to connect to a private water supply, or to clean out the little resevoir. The pump is working fine, but the water is quite muddy so he can't get a good flow. However he has managed to provide some water to them so we are OK for now.
