A thief at Goroka General Hospital?

This morning I arrived at the office to find that my wireless mouse was missing. I seem to have had a string of things “taken” from me of late and it irks me no end. I shared a couple of weeks ago about “Papua New Guineans and trust” and the situation just seems to be going from bad to worse…

The best Wordpress stats you have ever seen

I’ve been busy making changes to the blog yet again. Changing the layout or adding new features seems to have become an ongoing affair. Whether it’s “Kaizen” or another driving force that I am yet to find out about - this business of Wordpress and never ending change - for this blogger - is very real…

Top Alexa rankings for Papua New Guinea

A fellow blogger who runs the “Tubuans and Dukduks” Blog left a comment on yesterday’s post to suggest that my Alexa Rankings were the best of any website or blog in Papua New Guinea.

Curiosity killed the beast and of course I had to go and have a look for myself!

Tidbits from an unmotivated blogger

Most bloggers would be well aware that from time to time it’s an almost impossible task to find the motivation to write about something. Today’s one of those days and yet here I am pushing myself to get something posted…

A new species of Hibiscus discovered in PNG

Every so often a new species of flora is discovered in Papua New Guinea and this one is a cracker… there’s definitely a reason why they call this the Land of the Unexpected!!

Wordpress and Kaizen

A long time friend recently sent me an email in which he used the word “Kaizen”. You might be thinking what the heck is “Kaizen” (as I did when I first saw the word) and how does it relate to Wordpress or blogging?

The best of the News Feeds continues with a summary contained in this post of the best stories I have come across from the 100 odd feeds that I subscribe to - a bit of a mix really from the technical to the non technical, announcements, personal stuff etc…

Open Source Software white papers

Due to a number of requests by readers to make several white papers on the topic of Open Source Software (OSS) available, I have created a File Download Section on this Blog. After taking a couple of Wordpress Plugins for a test run I settled for one called “Drain Hole”…

Photos from West Taraka

It was six months ago that I started the exciting but tedious process of migrating my blog from one Service Provider to another and from one Blogging platform to another. Let me tell you right now that as much as the exercise has been worth it the task has been drawn out, tedious and in some way a pain in the proverbial…

Goroka hospital goes online in a first for PNG!

GOROKA General Hospital has taken a giant step forward into the information age and e-health revolution by being the first hospital in the country to set up a website.
The website http://www.ggh.org.pg/ was set up recently by the hospital’s volunteer IT manager Robert Schilt…

Goroka General Hospital website a first for PNG

The following article was written by Malum Nalu and will hopefully be published in The National later next week. In more ways than one the timing of this article could not have been better. With the Hospital currently going through a process of seeking funding to extend the IT Project to include an Electronic Patient Records System, Malum’s article could not have come at a better time and will certainly attract some much needed attention. There currently exists a golden window of opportunity for Open Source Software Developments in Papua New Guinea and the task of getting this fact through to potential donors and/or investors is turning out to be an arduous challenge…

The best of News Feeds

It’s been seven years since that dreadful moment that New Yorkers and Americans at large came to grips when they heard the news of planes crashing into the World Trade Center and The Pentagon. I recall trying to go to my Math class when I was at college that time and all of my classmates were glued to the live TV when all that unfolded. RIP for those who lost their lives on that tragedy…

The best of News feeds

After my recent post “A News Aggregator is a must” I have decided to introduce a regular segment called: “The best of News Feeds”. This new addition will basically entail a summary of news stories that I have read via my newsreader and found to be of interest. I figure if it’s of interest to me it might very well be of interest to someone else out there. Some of…

Successful upgrade to Wordpress 2.6.2

The latest version of Wordpress was released within the past 24 hours and I have already completed a successful upgrade. No major enhancements - just a bunch of fixes and security patches to the Wordpress core files. So far the upgrade appears to have gone well on this blog and without any impact to the modified K2 theme or any of the gazillion Wordpress plugins that I run…
