Library System

 

I now finally have the library system in place and have started to download books from the internet, the quickest and easiest way to do it is to go via the Internet, I started yesterday, and the goal is to download 150 books a day, the plan is to teach the student assistants how to download the books which will free me up to work on other aspects of the library in the next 3 months. The Internet is working much quicker now. I saw the maintenance guy on the roof working on it and when I came online the Internet was going so much quicker.

Unfortunately, the power went out as I was downloading books from the Internet, fortunately this did not affect the books that was already downloaded so no work was lost, just time. Next week I am going into Mwanza to have my work permit sorted out as it expires on the 09/02. I am hoping to continue working late hours in order for me to finish the project. I would the library to be on the system by the end of February and then to teach staff and student how to operate the system. Physically I am ok just my ribs were a bit sore the last 2 days probably from moving books around the shelves.

The week has gone quickly, and I am still enjoying myself although the heat is something else, although I should be used to it. I made the decision that I will wear long pants to work but at home I will wear my short. I even played Volleyball in my running shorts this week as the college gets ready to take on another college in a few sporting events. I have given away my Springbok rugby jersey earlier tonight to a lecturer son who was helping me to short out a problem on someone's computer. He said he was a rugby fan, so I just gave it to him, no sweat.
