Off grid for several hours...

FYI, the HMP network will be down until 12.30pm local time. I don't think this will affect the IP phones, but it might. The Ka-band dish is down, and one of the projects needs the whole C-band dish this morning, so I'll probably be silent for a while.

Tent stuff was better last night. My cot is still broken, though a new one should show up on the next Twin Otter for me.

HMP net is back up

Hello, world!

I've been in camp this morning hacking the drill code while the rest of the team moved equipment to the drill site with the Humvee and several ATVs. With luck, we should be drilling this afternoon. My stuff will probably go live tomorrow once the drill has been checked out and is known to be working properly. w00t!
