its alive

alrighty then. things are up and appear to be working running off of my web site. joy. stay tuned for information on photos (since everyone seems to feel the need to ask " are you brining a camera?" holy hell people, as though i would miss the opportunity to photograph being attacked by wild monkeys). i will see what connection speeds are there and then decide where to host them and what to do with them and such.
the system is finally coming together (thank you andrew!). it can now make phone calls and play files for the call recipient-i believe the demo will feature the exploding shark though if anyone has any other recommendations i'm all ears. just have to get it set up to pull phone numbers from the database, and then rewrite the whole database and user interface once i actually have the user requirements. and so these things go.
will be departing on wednesday may 25 from san francisco, layover in amsterdam. hoping for just enough time to escape the airport but not enough time to get into trouble. and then its off to nairobi. not looking too forward to two long flights but finally bought one of those neck donut devices and a bottle of those tylenol sleeping things so i should be good and confused when i get off the plane.
