I have been doing a lot of travel this year. From California to Orlando, Madagascar, Nigeria and Texas its been a bit of a whirlwind. Last week I was in Arlington Texas for meetings with TSC or the Seed Company. Wycliffe Associates works closely with TSC on many translation projects.
This week was dedicated to working out a new master image to set up the first step of computers going oversees. When you have a lot of computers to set up a master image basically allows you to skip a large chunk of setting up any individual computer. It is like skipping the first seven levels of a ten level game. This puts on software, drivers, removes junk, etc. Once done you can individualize the machines with proper cd keys and the like.
is a nifty variant of Ubuntu which would make running computers oversees much simpler. It might be used in coming years. Overall it was a productive time and I enjoyed meeting my counterparts in the Seed Company.
Along the way we had some delicious food including Vietnamese and Texas Barbeque. I sampled fried pickles, fried cheese stuffed jalapenos, beef ribs, catfish, sausage along with potato salad and the like. Needless to say it was too much to finish. The picture of BBQ below is from Mark, not my own; but it gives you an idea of what we had. Below are pictures of my co-worker Bob Gray talking with Randal from TSC.
