Massive Technological Failures

You know what the problem is when developing technology for developing regions? Yes, it's partly the regions, yes it's partly the developing (of both the regions and the technology) but I have to say, it's mostly the technology... Here are just a few of the things the MILLEE team has had to overcome to continue our work...
  1. The failure of two laptops due to hardware failures
  2. The failure of two laptops due to viral infections
  3. The inability to restore said laptops due to special hardware requirements which cannot be found here.
  4. Near daily internet connection failures
  5. Near daily power failures (including our backup!)
  6. A lot of funny quirks in developing on mobile platforms.
  7. Camcorder failures
  8. Failure of the machine that converts DV tapes to DVD's

It's a wonder how we get any work done!

But we're still doing it ....
