So we pull up out of the bush through the khowarib rivier, completely caked in fine, flour-textured dust of the mopane savanah. It's been seven days since we set out into the wild from the brandberg. Suddenly we see a fence rise on our left side, punctured by holes, goats and other farm animals freely crossing through it, the odd herder waving at us as we drive past. In the distance a green tin roofed plaza appears: Kamdesha veterinary gate. The fence on either side of the plaza is busted, sections either lying flat on the ground, or missing completely. It should be part of the red line, the cordon dividing Namibia into a "safe" veterinary sector, supposedly FMD free, and the "wilderness" beyond. Some of us get out, talk to the warden, there is a brief back and forth, some favours are exchanged. A few men with rifles line either side of the plaza as our convoy of three vehicles rolls through, a goat scurrying away in front of us. It is another 20 kilometres from here to a marked road, following the rough dirt track we're on. Twenty minutes later I see truly wild giraffes for the second time in my life. View quoted note →

Much more cohesive from the stormers today and a decent watch too.

This is probably the weirdest internal border that I know of

Not everything I hoped for, but * Support for querying slices of a block * The new txospender index for querying the transaction of a spent output * Better handling of pruned nodes using an index * A host of bug fixes that should make using indexes more robust View quoted note →

Sacha's fancy stuff not working today, but seems like stuff is not gelling in general.

First proper work week in the new role.

Can't wait to be going back here again soon.
