Yesterday I did some programming in the afternoon… Not that I got the work done that I wanted to, but I did do some programming. And I did learn a lot about one aspect of Windows VB.Net. There are still things I need to understand, but it is looking good. What is it they say on School Reports? ‘More Work Required’.

Tomorrow I will be out of action for much of the day with a Board Meeting… This will once again be in the city thankfully, so I will not need to fly down to Albury. I have a few other meetings this week… Some are already organized, some are not organised yet.

I just saw a story on the bbc about how Tanzania is a mobile phone hotbed. In a country where only 10% have electricity, 97% have access to a mobile phone. That is quite amazing. People are using it as a business tool for economic development rather than a yuppie toy. It is really an interesting read.

I have been monitoring the crawling of my WWW site for the last day or two, monitoring where the search engines are up to now taht I fixed the Robots.TXT problem. Google is now starting to go through my pages, slowly. It has done a few of them. MSN is going a LOT faster, having indexed probably 75%. Strangely, the National Library must have done about 90% by now for their archival ‘Pandora’ project. And Yahoo has done a percentage of pages too. My pages are now appearing on MSN, and Google is slowly improving… This is all good news.
