Mikko in Mombasa

April 8, 2005

Friday.

I came to the Kwahola netcafé, which is just a walk from Camp David, to transfer some digital photos to a CD. They don't serve coffee here, much less anything else to eat or drink, but computers are available to use and the internet connection works.

The person who works here started the process while I sat down with my notebook to make plans for the seminar. The first upload was interrupted by a power failure - the electricity went out before the pictures were saved on the hard disc. The UPS power source beeped for a few minutes until its power went out as well. The electricity came back pretty soon and the second upload was already up to 93%, when the electricity went out once again. The UPS beeped for the last time, and when the power came back the CD was ruined. But the third time was a success; the pictures are now on CD. I have to close this diary before the power goes out again...
