Day 8: Intraoperating and Mariposario.
by Saint on Monday May 15, 2000 @ 09:01 PM
I write this while my wife is eating banana bread from Dona Luisa's. She is about to drop, having spent a day out in the field. Between four providers, 250 patients were seen in a 6 hour period. I'll be out in the field with her tomorrow at a very remote area doing general practice and I'll be checking in tomorrow evening on LMN for tales of the day. Little computer work will be done tomorrow. It was a good weekend, we toured a 'Mariposario' which is a butterfly reserve in which a large area of forest is enclosed by netting and chrysalises are incubated and the butterflies released. Beautiful. I started full-time today on the computers at Hermano Pedro hospital. I've got two client machines 'juan' and 'marco' and the server 'cielo' up and running. Unfortunately two Windows machines already existed in the hospital, so I have to explain a lot that Linux is not Windows, but it will do most of the same things Windows will do with more security. Already there is some pressure to change over to Windows, I've had to dual-boot one Linux machine in order to allow them to use an MS Access database that was on a slow laptop. It is obvious that Linux will have to intraoperate with these Windows machines. After Tuesday out in the fields, I'll be back to get them all stitched together and get Freemed running. I'll report on the reaction to Linux and Freemed when I get it all going.

    "but it will do most of the same things Windows will do with more security" Saint, that was mean [but true] :). You're a good man...
