Here’s a tool that might be worth a look, a widget called Gist which sounds like it be one way to start getting on top of all those contacts on all those different networks…I only read the promo stuff on the link and a couple of comments on LinkedIn and obviously I won’t be able to download the beta til I get home: not only do I not have a laptop here but the wireless coverage is dodgy as to say the least though rumour has it that the McDs by the main gate has free wifi…

CLAW continues to go well and I must say what a top job our hosts have done setting it all up from a standing start (all the other nations have reps like me who have already participated in at least two of the three previous CLAWs) in such a top location (less the dodgy wifi coverage which is not really their fault)…our part of the report is well progressed so once I do some tuning to my section tomorrow morning, I will hopefully be able to slip in some time with the camera in the technology museum here…

Another social tonight but less formal than Monday – we’re all off to experience a genuine English pub and a meal as part of the broader ABCA experience…

I will have to do some organising in my room tonight as I have misplaced the paper I acquired the other day which was scathing about the Soviet approach to COIN and which, from my initial scan, I thought totally missed the point re the endurance characteristic of successful COIN…
