    thanks, guys. but it looks like there's no chance for me to finish my project; all the doctors that i need to work with are busy with other things, or out of town. trying to plan, here, is infuriating. you really just have to expect people to flake on you, i guess.

    in any case, i'm spending my last few days doing less glamorous work that needs to be done, getting the hospital offices online, setting up my donated laptops for the doctors' general use rather than as OpenMRS terminals, and getting all the paperwork and accounting for the Goma Student Fund in order.

    ugh. i'm coming down with a fever, too.

    Sounds like you'll just have to go back to wrap up the OpenMRS work... and I heard you didn't kill any elephants yet either. Let's get on that.
