Sounds of thunder from far away, but there's nothing on lightningmaps.org. No storm clouds on IR satellite, maybe a small one some 80 km away. Does blitzortung register lightnings between clouds that don't hit the ground? No airplanes on flightrafdar24. Another night full of questions in #EasternPoland

Saturday evening in #EasternPoland. Most poles of #Polesia are drunk.

Frosty morning in the #wetlands of #Polesia. Incidentally Frosty Morning is the name of the tea I'll have when I get back home.

Two plant species in this picture, Canadian goldenrod in the foreground and wild black cherry in the background, are highly invasive in #EasternPoland. Unfortunately they will survive.

A small village in Eastern Poland. A customer of ours complained that his computer, 12 years old, is very slow. I can't help – I'm not good at cleaning windows (my wife will confirm). But, I say, you could try Linux.

Yesterday I ran Ubuntu live from a USB stick on his computer. Today he said he's very happy with it, so I'll install it. His Windows will stay for a while as I expect a long struggle with cups.

We had great support from our customers during today's #RuralBroadband installation. The one in front is a rescue dog, the smaller one is a typical #EasternPoland village dog, and they're great friends. Dogs: 10/10. SINR: 17/18, stable 20 Mbps. Pretty good for this area.

I can't id this #plant. A small dog the size of half a small dog for scale.

End of a very exhausting day. So exhausting I don't even know if it's Wednesday or Friday, and should I buy beer or whisky.

Wall base of an abandoned house in the forests of #EasternPoland, overgrown with grasses and small trees. Two remnants of basic necessities of #RuralLife – a kettle and a vodka bottle. #RurEx

I have an urgent deadline, so I will gladly answer any questions you might have about living in the #wetlands of #EasternPoland

Mam pilny deadline, więc chętnie poodpowiadam na wszelkie pytania o życiu w #mokradła Polski Wschodniej

Rural Eastern Poland is poor. People here live in houses they can't afford to finish. But they care about their children and their future. The small terminal in the center of the picture can easily handle 40 Mbps. #RuralBroadband #EasternPoland
