Office views & scary scaffolding
I’ve not posted up many photos recently, so here are a few I took last week of my office…
We’ve actually now tidied the office up a little bit, and I have another chair – one which has a back to it! I’ve mentioned before that it’s dusty here, well this is the state of the server that’s on the floor in my office:
I had to blow the dust/dirt out from the USB ports to get them to work, I’ve not actually looked inside the machine yet, but judging by these pictures, it’s probably not in a great state. It’s a relatively new machine too, and if we don’t get it cleaned up and moved I guess it’s not going to last too much longer. The server room downstairs is still in the process of being built – so the floor is thick with brick and plaster dust (whilst still in use as a server room), so I’m reluctant to move the machine until that room is completed.
Finally the view from my office window:
This is the scaffolding on one of the new office/residential they’re building at the Uni. Just on our campus there must be 5 or 6 new buildings going up. All the scaffolding in Ethiopia is just bits of wood nailed together – this photo was taken about 3 floors up and often you can see it all swaying around even in a light breeze.
