Match Result

Maldives lost but locals are stoic in defeat.  It was only a friendly before the South Asian Football Federation Cup, which Maldives won last year, beating India 1 - nil.

Huge rain this morning leaving streets in central Male' flooded under a few inches of water, which had drained away by the afternoon.

Almost got to meet the head of one of the lead agencies today but she somehow managed to get into another meeting in the hour which elapsed between her agreeing to us and our arrival!

Otherwise a somewhat frustrating day with .net, fixing some bugs and creating a few new ones.  Also some distrurbing news that the internet connection from the islands is only likely to be 128kb/s and in any case the maximum available (at extra cost) is only 512 kb.  Running the system against a database on our server back in UK from both the hotel and unicef office has proved disappointingly slow to load and save a case record and its associated data.  So much for vb.net architecture using disconnected datasets.  I'm starting to wonder just what sql and data are being moved about behind the scenes.
