The past week, in brief:

tcpipAttended two UN training sessions on Domain Name Administration. They left a lot to be desired.
Finished editing the Users manual. Half way on SMPT setup. Half way in translating the Ministerial website to Portuguese and Bahasa-Malay.
Had a small group lunch (seven of us) with some local senior military officers and international advisors. One of the characters included the FANATIL officer (now a colonel) who warned the Australian reporters at Balibo in 1975 that the Indonesian army was on its way. "We'll be alright, we're Australians" was the reply. Famous last words.
Will be away for a few days at a FANATIL-FTDL barracks in Metinaro discussing drafts of regional security and foreign policies for the Ministry.

"Senhor Lafaek, lae han hau, hau nianian labriak-boot".
That worked on the last one.

Then my insanity kicks in..

You win, hands down.

Hey, Rockdale City Council and all hell breaking loose is pretty exciting too. I mean Rockdale City Council probably has a bigger budget and more staff than this Ministry....
