Falling in Love with the XO All Over Again
I got involved with OLPC back in June of 2006. It's hard to believe that was almost two years ago! I got involved for a lot of reasons but I have to admit I was tremendously excited about the technology in the XO. Over the last two years this enthusiasm waxed and waned. I first got to use an XO when Walter Bender shipped me a B-2 back in early 2007. I was tremendously excited but also afraid to mess with the little thing. It was far to precious to seriously tinker withk. We used it more to promote OLPC than to actually use as a computing or learning device.

QA is Killing Me
Our pilot starts in less than 10 days and I am mired in Software and Hardware testing (QA). We were supposed test 70 XO’s against our access point yesterday but early into testing we noticed that activities were crashing on startup w/ build 703. I spent 3 hours on IRC troubleshooting the problem w/ the help of Sugar gurus Tomeu Vizoso and Simon Schampijer. They were incredibly patient w/ my complete ignorance of Sugar actually works. The only thing I know about dbus is that it produces a lot of errors. I still haven’t figured out what is causing the problem and I can’t reproduce the problem.

My experience with OLE-nepal
I am Manoj Ghimire from Bishwamitra Ganesh Lower Secondary School.I have been working in this school for last two years.I teach maths and science for the lower secondary level. I am also an ex-student of this school.When the school upgraded from primary level to the lower secondary level, they needed extra teachers but there wasn't any source to pay for the teachers.I worked as a volunteer for a year since,it is my school and my community.From last year onwards,I am working as a fulltime teacher.
