Attended 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.

I'll just sit here folding newsletters and writing cheque requisitions and express wonderment at the pure mundaneness of my life.

You know, sometimes I am envious of mundaneness. I mean nary an assault rifle in sight, no need to understand four or more languages, no fear that a misfolded newspaper may threaten regional stability.... It seems quite a pleasant existence really.

Then my insanity kicks in..
