Weeks 9, 10, and 11

Not much to add for these weeks.
Those who could afford the time and expense of traveling to Africa went. They had a fun time. Those of us who either couldn't afford it, or (I suppose) didn't want to go stayed home.

I sort of had some expectation that we the left-behind would be used a resource, and would be doing bug fixing or similar activities in response to emails or other communications from the team members in Africa... this did not turn out to be the case.
We had a call with Professor Fry, who relayed how the experiece was going. None of the student doing the work was on the call, so they couldn't have asked for help even if they needed it.
I was kind of looking forward to providing support to a working installation from across the world. But I guess I should take it as a good thing that the on site student were able to work through all the major issues they ran into.

Since their return is somewhat anticlimactic, fixing the issues that they did bring back has been kind of a slog. Not that anything we have to do is hard, but motivation after delivery of the product is harder to gin up :)
