We have cable

Today the técnicos from our internet provider came by the apartment and now we're connected with a wi-fi/cable/telephone package that reminds me we're not missioners. When they installed it, as seems to be typical, they didn't remove old, non-functioning lines, but just added new ones to the tangled mess. But it all seems to be working, so I won't complain.

Work is now a regular occurrence, which is how I am most comfortable. I have made some minor progress on generating volumes of data, which I do very effectively. There is a greater sense of focus now that we're all aligning our goals for the next few months. I'm seeing how well I do at using a linux machine as my primary computer, which is surprisingly easy so far. The spanish keyboard is the biggest challenge. Or maybe it is just my Spanish. I started taking lessons tonight, since I am tired of being so clumsy with my Spanish, or at least not getting any better as the weeks go by. Anyway, I still enjoy the view from my office window, which offered a fine snapshot of lifting condensation level as a front collided with the Andes. I'm sure the cell phone camera won't do it justice, but here it is anyway.
