Working on Internal Systems
I haven’t been nearly as active in the OLPC mailing lists discussions and software testing for the last weeks due to a 10-day illness and then some internal office systems stuff that I am still working on. About a day after the glorious start of the Bishwamitra and Bashuki schools, my lower lip started mysteriously swelling. It kept swelling and swelling despite my sweet coaxings and entreaties to shrink. It swelled so large that I couldn’t close my mouth and was extremely was painful. The infection also caused a nasty fever that kept me in bed. I was too tired to do any serious work, but not too tired to learn some super cool vim plugins! like MiniBufExplorer, python omnicomplete, and I finally learned to fully appreciate Visual Mode.

First Significant Technical Problem: Jumpy Cursors
It is hot in Lakuri Bhanjhyang, the site of Bashuki School, approximately 29 C every day. That’s 95 Fahrenheit for you Americans. AND it is very dry and extremely dusty. If you leave your XO alone for 20-30 minutes, it will have a fine layer of dust a top the keyboard when you return. These factors may be contributing to the first significant technical problem we are having in the pilot so far, the dreaded jumpy cursor. You know, that’s where the touchpad doesn’t follow your orders.

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.
