A sample of the frustration

is demonstrated by this email which came around yesterday. David's mathematical modelling was dependent on regular and reliable internet so I would not be surprised if the frustration just ate away at him until it exhausted him. I am truly very sorry.
"Dear All,
Our Telikom Data Line is currently experiencing a major outage. This outage was experienced as at 4:05pm today and will continue for an indefinite period of time. Telikom has been made aware of this issue.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused".
I get frustrated too and have had to resort to solitaire to appear to be doing something worthwhile but I do not intend to tolerate boredom much beyond the end of this month. Hopefulli can have a productive meeting with my HOD tomorrow. Actually today has been very good - we had three presentations to make and provided the momentum is sustained I think we can actually achieve soem courses for external mode by Sem 1 2007. Our goal is one course for each semester next year to start with with subsequent courses following.
