        <![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Western Market group photo" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/P1010170.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="400" width="600" /></span><br /><br />恭喜發財！ (Kung hey fat choi!) Last Friday, we gathered 16 OLPC supporters for one simple mission: assemble an XO dragon at different spots of Hong Kong to celebrate Chinese New Year. Between us all, we managed to collect 13 laptops plus a few tidbits (including some pens, plastic cups, stress balls, hanging clips and bananas!), and the only limit was our imagination, of course.<br /><br />The evening started off with a warm-up run at Western Market in Sheung Wan. As with any team project, our work evolved from a quick brainstorming session to delegation by different body parts, and our first dragon -- pictured above -- was born within minutes. If you look closely, we actually used some of the batteries as legs! This is the kind of "out of the box" thinking that we aim to promote to children everywhere.<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Team work at Western Market" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1299.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="397" width="600" /></span><br /> <div><br /></div><div>After a second run to improve our efficiency, it was time to hop onto the tram. Read on to see how our tour went.<br /></div>]]>
        <![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="About to board the tram" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1305.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="397" width="600" /></span><div><br /><img alt="XO dragon on the tram" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1308.jpg" class="mt-image-right" style="float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;" height="450" width="298" />There was a very good reason for why we started at Western Market: it was where the tram line started, which meant we could all secure seats on the top floor! Seeing that there weren't too many passengers on board to begin with, we decided to summon our XO dragon before things got busy. But even without the dragon out in its full glory, we were glad that fellow passengers were intrigued by our laptops. Ah, the curiosity in us all.<br /><br />Before long, our tram brought us to our first destination: the Hong Kong Central Library. While the building was closed, it was conveniently located opposite the bustling Chinese New Year market in Victoria Park, so it wasn't surprising to see many spectators gathering around us while we reassembled our dragon. In fact, we're very grateful that the police let us use the nearby stairs afterwards for maximum exposure -- we even had fans asking for photos to be taken with the dragon!<br /></div><div><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Outside the Hong Kong Central Library" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1319.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="400" width="600" /></span><br /></div><div><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Dragon up close" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1313.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="397" width="600" /></span><br /><br /><img alt="XO dragon on the stairs" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1328.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="400" width="600" /><br /><br />The night was young, but the next stop we headed to was a lot quieter. We took the westbound tram back to HSBC's headquarter and only saw the remaining folks at the Occupy Central base camp. Luckily, there were some lions available to keep our dragon company. May the two creatures bring courage, energy and wisdom to children all over the world!<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Decorating the lion" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1339.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="397" width="600" /></span><br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Lion and dragon" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1340.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="400" width="600" /></span><br /></div><div><br />The temperature dropped very quickly at that point, so we decided to make two more stops before wrapping up -- we "walked" our XO dragon to the old Legislative Council Building and a nearby fountain for a quick photo shoot.<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Old Legco building" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1345.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="397" width="600" /></span><br /></div><div><br />We just about managed this shot below before a security guard walked towards us. Pretty sure he would have been fine with our little event, anyway. :)<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Dragon at LegCo" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1354.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="397" width="600" /></span><br /></div><div><br />Our final shot at the fountain next to the Cenotaph. Special care was taken to make sure it was a good one.<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Final shot" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1360.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="397" width="600" /></span><br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Being super careful here..." src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/dragon/DSC_1358.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="397" width="600" /></span><br /><br />Voila!

        <![CDATA[OLPC APAC has once again returned to Sichuan for another deployment. This time volunteers from Hong Kong and in concert with local Sichuanese volunteers descended on Jintang County just 28 kilometers away from Chengdu for the deployment. <br /><br />Our mission: to conduct XO training workshops, install school servers plus WiFi access points, and to install new localization patches on 1000 units of XO laptops. These laptops will be deployed with three area primary schools; Anbang Primary School, Experimental Primary School and Xixian Primary School.<br /><br />Xixian Primary School will serve as our key pilot school as XO laptops will be provided to every student between the grades of two to five. While at the other two schools, XO laptops will only be distributed to fourth graders.

<br /><br />For the next 3 days, we will be calling Anbang Primary School our new 
home as we toil late into the night prepping 1000 units of XO laptops 
and conducting morning training workshops for both the teachers and children. The 
students at Anbang were extremely cheerful and courteous as they greeted
 the volunteers with a big smile and called us "uncle" or "aunt". 
Needless to say, the ladies weren't too fond of being called "aunts" all
 day long and would rather be greeted with a "younger" title.<br /><br />

<br /><br />
Day 3.... meeting the kids!!! The morning at Anbang Primary was the coldest morning yet but our spirits are high and we're all excited for we know today is a day like no other. After flying hundreds of miles on a red eye flight and working like slaves for the past 2 days, it all comes down to today. One might say today is defining moment of the entire trip. Today we will be hosting a training workshop for around 60 students from the three area schools. Throughout the training workshop, the kids were fully engaged with the various learning activities in the XO laptops. At one point, we even invited two kids up to the stage to share their learning experiences and had them teach the rest of the class on completing certain tasks with the XO laptops. While that is going on, the tech team visited the other 2 schools to config and install the school servers and the WiFi access points. Being able to witness first hand the kids having fun exploring and learning on the XO laptops while collaborating with their friends on what they have learned made the red eye flight and the hard work from the previous 2 days all worth the while....<br /><br />

<p>2009 年 10 月 5日</p>
<p>昨天的一片空泥地，一夜之間竟變得綠草如茵、人潮洶湧！</p>
<p>看見這個場面，大家都不禁興奮起來了！</p>
<p><a title="opening ceremony by laihiu, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000844520/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3466/4000844520_80522582b6_m.jpg" alt="opening ceremony" height="240" width="161" /></a> <a title="IMG_3099 by cktsoi, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cktsoi/4012466261/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2578/4012466261_a3c6b10728_m.jpg" alt="IMG_3099" height="240" width="160" /></a> <a title="Anthony showing the XO to Ruby from UNICEF by laihiu, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000836048/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2575/4000836048_e4c88b6545_m.jpg" alt="Anthony showing the XO to Ruby from UNICEF" height="240" width="161" /></a></p>
<p>帳幕，是為這次開幕禮所搭建的，很漂亮吧？</p>
<p>上圖中間那位，是 Dasho Kinley Dorji，為不丹皇家政府資訊及通訊部秘書長 (Secretary of the
Ministry of Information &amp; Communications of the Royal Government of
Bhutan)。他當天穿了全套正式服裝，還身備配劍，簡直威風凜凜！不過他說，劍只是裝飾品，他根本不會舞劍...
演講時，他首先說了一堆不丹語，跟在場旁聽的小孩打個招呼，令快要悶荒的孩子們都為之一振！然後他把手伸進袍裡，我以為他在搔癢，原來他在找他的講稿，就
像古裝劇裡的人那樣...</p>

<p>這時，一位醒目的小六生站了出來，他將負責在開幕儀式中領唱。想聽聽他和其他小孩的聲音、感受一下現場氣氛的話，可看看以下的兩個 videos:<br />
 </p>
<p>雖然開幕禮都是大人在講話，但主角仍應是小朋友！</p>
<p><a title="happy faces from bhutan by laihiu, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000849588/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2568/4000849588_55636eeb55_m.jpg" alt="happy faces from bhutan" height="245" width="202" /></a> <a title="first look at the XO! by laihiu, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000847118/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3578/4000847118_989ec1cb8f_m.jpg" alt="first look at the XO!" height="245" width="290" /></a></p>
<p>這裡比城市落後，很多小朋友根本沒有觸摸過電腦。 Anthony 開了一部 XO，示範用 XO 拍照，小朋友立即蜂擁而至！</p>
<p>不要看他們年紀小小，他們不但有禮貌 (甚至害羞)，而且紀律良好，英文也說得不錯！不信的話，看看以下這段 video - <strong><a href="http://www.flickr.com//photos/laihiu/4001249310/">tell me, what is your name?</a></strong></p>

<p>不說你或許不知道，不丹人最大的興趣之一，就是放 BREAK (小息)！</p>
<p>因為常常要放 BREAK，我們原來的日程安排都亂了... 但誰管它！這裡是不丹，就讓我們投入一下，感受這種寫意的不丹人生活吧 =)</p>
<p><a title="IMG_3145 by cktsoi, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cktsoi/4013246398/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2532/4013246398_0a35afda72_m.jpg" alt="IMG_3145" height="110" width="165" /></a> <a title="IMG_3144 by cktsoi, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cktsoi/4012477237/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/4012477237_7318357495_m.jpg" alt="IMG_3144" height="110" width="165" /></a> <a title="Bhutanese teachers &amp; officials by laihiu, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000842810/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3428/4000842810_df57306cb6_m.jpg" alt="Bhutanese teachers &amp; officials" height="110" width="165" /></a><br />
<a title="Anthony &amp; a representative from Bhutan's Ministry of Information &amp; Communication by laihiu, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000835214/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3452/4000835214_17f2ffcb20_m.jpg" alt="Anthony &amp; a representative from Bhutan's Ministry of Information &amp; Communication" height="111" width="164" /></a> <a title="monks at the opening ceremony by laihiu, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000078539/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3440/4000078539_f894a9db0e_m.jpg" alt="monks at the opening ceremony" height="111" width="165" /></a> <a title="IMG_3067 by cktsoi, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cktsoi/4013226742/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3491/4013226742_b895526efe_m.jpg" alt="IMG_3067" height="111" width="166" /></a></p>
<p>這兒的奶茶，重點在奶不是茶，極為香濃，而且真的很好很好喝！</p>
<p>放 BREAK 另一好處是可以跟當地人 "吹水"，認識他們多一點。同行的香港人都應該知道，我很喜歡 "撩" 當地人談天說地 (例如一下飛機，往酒店途中，我已經爭著要坐司機旁的位置...)</p>
<p><a title="Anthony showing the XO to Dasho Kinley Dorji, Secretary of the Ministry of Information &amp; Communications of the Royal Government of Bhutan" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000838124/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3547/4000838124_83e1758a17.jpg" alt="Anthony showing the XO to Dasho Kinley Dorji, Secretary of the Ministry of Information &amp; Communications of the Royal Government of Bhutan" border="0" height="334" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>回到正題！看 Anthony 多麼落力 "sell" XO！</p>
<p>再看看 Anthony 在開幕禮演講的珍貴片段:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OLPC 得到不丹政府重視，因此這天來了不少當地傳媒。本來當日只打算教當地老師怎樣用 XO，明天或後天才有小朋友的份兒，但在傳媒要求下，我們決定臨時加開一個環節，讓小朋友率先接觸這部為他們而設的 XO!</p>
<p><a title="Untitled by laihiu, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000839168/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2493/4000839168_c056592acd_m.jpg" alt="" height="240" width="161" /></a> <a title="Untitled by laihiu, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000832830/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/4000832830_5d5729c16b_m.jpg" alt="" height="240" width="161" /></a> <a title="can you find me? =p by laihiu, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laihiu/4000832158/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3491/4000832158_cdb59883a3_m.jpg" alt="can you find me? =p" height="240" width="177" /></a></p>
<p>Anthony 在環節一開始時，便跟小朋友玩了一個緊張刺激的遊戲，名為 "鬥快開 XO"！</p>
<p>結果如何？且看以下片段：</p>

<p>小朋友不但學識了開機，還懂得怎樣利用 XO 拍照、拍 video、玩迷宮、反轉個螢幕當 ebook 用、etc.</p>
<p>參與這環節的都是小六學生，十分聰明，很多 XO 上的操作根本自己摸得透。</p>

<p>除了學生外，老師的培訓也相當重要。只有他們明白 XO 的好處，把 XO
帶進課堂，小朋友的獲益才最大。參與這星期的培訓的老師，來自不丹不同地區的學校，包括一些為特殊兒童而設的 UNICEF
學校，有些老師更徒步走了兩、三天的路才到達這裡，他們的認真，實在令人感動！</p>
<p>但正正因為他們很認真的學習，進度神速，所以 Anthony 教畢 XO 的基本概念和操作後，還剩有一點點的時間。我惟有提早一天教了 XO 的音樂程式。起初我還有些膽怯，但老師們都十分合作，有問有答，氣氛融洽，結果過程相當享受。</p>
<p>課室門外，經常擠滿好奇的小孩子。 當時我在想，不知明天會否有機會給他們玩 XO 呢？</p>

<p>我們到酒店放下行李，吃了個午餐，便向試點小學出發。學校的名字叫 Kuzhugchen School，於不丹延布市 (Thimpu)
以外的郊區。上山的路不易走，路邊處處是懸崖，欄杆欠奉。沒有一定的駕車技術 (和膽量)，恐怕也不能順利完成這 45
分鐘的路程啊！（我對我們的司機叔叔是很佩服的，雖然他的話是多了點，哈哈）</p>

<p>沒錯！這便是學校的班房，除了一塊黑板及幾張桌子以外，真是空空如也。我們亦發現，有好些班房甚至連電源也沒有。看來我們未來幾天的工作可多了!</p>

<p>為趕及於天黑前下山，我們都急不及待，把早已運到的 XO 小電腦拿出來，逐一安裝補給程式 (patch)。</p>

<p>與此同時，這三位高手忙著尋找合適的地方，安裝 ALTAI 的超級強力 wifi 天線。</p>

<p>這位小朋友，是校長的其中一個女兒，就讀二年級，懂一點點的英語。她不但對 XO 電腦很好奇，也對我的相機非常有興趣。我乾脆把相機借了給她，且看看她的作品：</p>

<p>最後，我們天黑才離去。</p>
<p>明天一早便是開幕典禮，還有很多東西要準備。雖然大家有點累，雖然回到酒店仍要開會，雖然有很多實際問題需要解決，雖然酒店餐廳效率低（晚飯點菜後要等一小時才有得吃），但大家總是 hee hee ha ha 的，期待快樂的另一天到臨。</p>]]>

甚麼都不清楚，問不丹的負責人，他們都好像不著緊！有一個不丹人後來跟我說： "We <span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">don't plan here at Bhutan!"</span></span></p><p>也許這就是他們快樂的秘訣？<br /></p>(待續)]]>

The original campus collapsed during the 512 Earthquake. The current campus is now a cluster of hastily erected temporary classrooms.<br /><br />It is the last day of school before the summer vacation. On the blackboards are lists of summer homework and assignments. Some parents are anxiously waiting for their child outside the classroom.<br /><br />The tasks for us OLPC volunteers is twofold -- firstly, to set up the classrooms and XOs, and secondly to hold XO workshops for primary school students.<br /><br />This is how the classrooms looked like when we arrived:<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_1.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_1.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="266" width="400" /></span> <div><br />And we had to set up four classrooms to look like this:<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_2.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_2.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="266" width="400" /></span><br /></div><div><br />And this is work in progress :)<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_3.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_3.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="242" width="353" /></span><br /></div><div><br /></div>]]>
        <![CDATA[In another room, our technical team was busy setting up the network and schoolserver:<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_5.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_5.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="264" width="360" /></span><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_4.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_4.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="246" width="340" /></span><br /><div><br />Originally,
 we had hoped to use the (wireless) network to apply our patches to the 
new XOs (mainly Chinese localization) -- and the following are the 
commands to that effect:<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_6.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_6.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="289" width="393" /></span><br /></div><div><br />But
 it turns out the wireless channels were saturated, the network became 
so slow that we had to use the alternative method of upgrading using USB
 storage devices. Having around 30 sticks allows for some "fun" like 
this one made by University of Hong Kong (HKU) students:<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_7.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_7.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="192" width="310" /></span><br /></div><div><br /><br />Workshop
 starts after lunch! In our 2 hour workshop, we aim to introduce the 
children to the XO and its basic functions. One additional hurdle we had
 to overcome in Chinese deployments was to explain the English on the 
keyboards. "Erase", "enter" etc., and explaining how to input Chinese 
characters.<br /><br />(In a sense Chinese input in the mainland is 
relatively more simple to explain than the input systems popular in 
Taiwan or Hong Kong, since the Pinyin romanization system is taught in 
standard cirriculum in the mainland, whereas the Zhuyin, a non-romantic 
phonetic system is popular in Taiwan, which requires learning a keymap 
for using the system for Chinese input, and there is virtually no 
standard phonetic system in Hong Kong.)<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_9.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_9.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="238" width="317" /></span> <span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_8.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_8.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="240" width="314" /></span><br /></div><div><br />The
 children were generally excited with their new toy, and kept asking us 
questions as we taught them how to open the XO, type Chinese characters,
 and open various XO activities. In fact, most of the time we were 
overwhelmed with raised hands and questions, and there was a bit of 
shortage of manpower even with 2-3 volunteers in each of the four 
classrooms. The workshop session was a bit exhausting, but we were happy
 for the positive response from the kids.<br /><br />The children were 
dismissed after the workshop ended, but we weren't about to go home yet.
 Although we still have two more workshops sessions the next day, we 
couldn't just leave the XO's in the classrooms. The classrooms had 
virtually no security, so we had to pack up the XOs in the classrooms 
and stash them into a temporary "storeroom". ( It turns out that the 
"storeroom"'s security was not much better. The security guard actually 
kicked open the supposedly locked door the next day to retrieve the 
XOs... )<br /><br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_10.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_10.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="300" width="464" /></span><br /></div><div><br /><br />A few photos of the stash:<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_11.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_11.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="300" width="404" /></span><br /></div><div><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_12.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_12.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="300" width="446" /></span><br /></div><div><br />And thus our tasks for today are all done.<br /><br />I'll include a photo of our dinner (Sichuan "mala" hot pot :) <br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="blog_0607_13.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_13.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="300" width="400" /></span><br /></div><br />( To be continued~ )]]>

        <![CDATA[[Apologies to those who do not read Chinese, here's the long due journal of the Sichuan deployment trip in English! Enjoy~]<br /><br />On the morning of 6 June, Hong Kong International Airport.<br /><br />8 people in our group, volunteers for this OLPC deployment trip. Our destination is for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dujiangyan_City">Dujiangyan</a>, Sichuan. Our mission? To give 1000 XO laptops to children in Puyang Primary School, and to hold a few "XO workshops" to provide a bit of basic training for them. We hope that by deploying the laptops before summer vacation, the children will have ample time to get themselves familiar with their new friend during the summer.<br /><br />The trip lasts for 5 days, so there aren't too many personal items to bring. Yet one of our volunteers, Charles, appeared with huge luggage. "That's the <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/School_server">School Server</a> inside", he explained. <br /><br />The luggage of two other volunteers, Jacky and Henry was quite heavy too. Jacky, as our de-facto-official photographer, stuffed his luggage with expensive-looking gear. Henry, another&nbsp;photography enthusiast, seems to have brought luggage that equaled his body weight. And of course it wasn't just photography gear -- technical accessories such as mice, wireless routers, USB flash drives, etc. were all prepared just in case we needed them.]]>
        <![CDATA[The flight lasted about two hours, and after that we were at the
 Chengdu Airport. A few volunteers, including our leader Anthony Wong, 
who arrived Chengdu earlier met up with us.<div><br /></div><div>(Speaking
 of Anthony, I feel compelled to mention the great efforts he spent in 
securing the timely delivery of the XOs to the deployment site. For the 
1000 XOs we are giving in this deployment, 100 had already arrived a few
 months ago when we held training workshops for teachers of the school 
in April. The remaining 900 XOs were shipped to Sichuan in two loads, 
from Hong Kong and Shanghai respectively. Due to procedural problems in 
customs and taxes, the cargo was held up, and time was running out. 
Obviously we cannot do much with 100 XOs in a school of about a thousand
 students. To deal with the problem, Anthony made about <i>seventy phone calls in one day</i> calling up relevant government departments in Sichuan to get the XOs moving. And they arrived just in time. Whew!)</div><div><br /></div><div>We
 took a van from Chengdu Airport to Dujiangyan. Although urban 
reconstruction masked most of the scars in the 512 Earthquake, 
occasionally we still saw half-collapsed buildings along the way.</div><div><br /></div><div>We
 found our final hotel after a bit of a struggle with other hotels. Two 
local helpers, who expressed interest in our project, arrived too. We 
also called up five University of Hong Kong&nbsp;students who happened to be 
around in Sichuan and was interested in helping out.</div><div><br /></div><div>After
 everybody arrived and settled down, we held a short meeting to plan 
division of tasks and other matters for tomorrow's XO workshop.</div><div><br /></div><div>When
 the meeting was over, it was dinner time already. Speaking of dinner, 
one of our favorite pastimes during the trip was to guess how spicy the 
food was. Sichuan cuisine is famous for its "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sichuan_mala">ma la</a>",
 the hot and numbing taste through a combination of chili peppers and 
Sichuan pepers. One prominent "theory" among us was that, if the dish 
looks "red" and "spicy", the taste is probably relatively mild, and 
would be "safe to eat", whereas innocent looking dishes could wreck 
havoc on our tongues. I personally thought the spiciness was within my 
tolerance limits, so I never set out to confirm the theory myself. But 
even then sometimes I'd accidentally ingest a small piece of chili 
pepper, and when I realize my mistake it would be too late to reach for a
 glass of water :)</div><div><br /></div><div>The story of Day 1 ends here. XO Workshop tomorrow, with photos~ Stay tuned!</div>]]>

只是開始。孩子們拿到了的 XO，能否有效地幫助他們學習和成長？ OLPC 在世界各地的成功例子不少，但也有不少 XO 
因為各種原因未能善用而被打進了冷宮。這一千部 XO 和他們的主人日後的命運將是怎樣呢？那我們要拭目以待了。( 
當然，我們不是被動的，本來我們計劃在開學後組團回四川跟進孩子們使用 XO 
的情況，但因為最近有不丹這個項目[見下]，加上其他原因，就只好暫時擱下了)</div><div><br /></div><div>而蒲陽小學也只是 OLPC 亞太區的第一個試點。接下來還要有各地的工作。根據計劃，蒲陽小學只是 OLPC 亞太區在四川十間小學中的一個。還有九間小學。而另一邊廂，我們已計畫在九月至十月向不丹捐贈二百部 XO，大致安排定當，只欠東風。</div><div><br /></div><div>當然，XO 和 OLPC 義工不是憑空變出來的！我們「每童一電腦」計劃真的很需要您的支持！如果您願意出錢，可以到我們的<a href="https://secure.olpc.asia/Donation/Direct_donation.asp">捐款頁</a>，為亞太區的孩子贈送 XO；如果願意出力，又可以<a href="http://www.olpc.asia/tc/forms/volunteer-form.html">報名</a>加入我們的義工行列。當然，能出錢出力就最好啦 :)</div><div><br /></div><div>我們六月在四川的行程暫時寫到這裡。下集預告，大概是不丹吧！(不過我抽身不得去不了...不知道這次有沒有隨行的義工願意寫遊記呢......)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>]]>

        <![CDATA[另一邊廂，技術組在努力設定 schoolserver 和網絡連線：<br /><br /><form class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;" contenteditable="false"><img alt="blog_0607_5.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_5.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="264" width="360" /></form><form class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;" contenteditable="false"><img alt="blog_0607_4.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_4.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="246" width="340" /></form><br /><div><br />本來，我們打算用網絡替 XO 進行更新，以下是人手進行網絡更新的步驟：<br /><br /><form class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;" contenteditable="false"><img alt="blog_0607_6.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_6.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="289" width="393" /></form><br /></div><div><br />但由於一個課室有三四十部 XO ，網絡速度就十分緩慢了。後來唯有用 USB 「手指」進行更新 (這個 USB 手指陣勢是由 HKU 學生義工偷閒[/偷懶?]排出來的)：<br /><br /><form class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;" contenteditable="false"><img alt="blog_0607_7.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_7.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="192" width="310" /></form><br /></div><div><br /><br />下午，工作坊就開始了！這個工作坊主要是向孩子門介紹 XO 的基本操作和它的各種能能。孩子們都很踴躍啊！他們一直發問題，讓義工們忙了個不亦樂乎！<br /><br /><form class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;" contenteditable="false"><img alt="blog_0607_9.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_9.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="238" width="317" /></form> <form class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;" contenteditable="false"><img alt="blog_0607_8.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_8.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="240" width="314" /></form><br /></div><div><br />我們在這工作坊教導孩子們基本的 XO 操作，包括開關電腦、文字輸入、啟動 XO 的活動 (XO Activities) 等等。希望他們有了基本的操作知識後，可以自己在暑假期間發掘一下 XO 的其他功能！<br /><br />工
作坊完結後，孩子們都歸家了。但 OLPC 的義工們還未能休息。因為每個課室的都有三十至四十部 XO ，而每一部 XO 
雖然比一般電腦價錢低，但加起來都價值不菲！由於蒲陽小學還是用臨時的鐵板房做課室，所以要破門而入是輕而易舉的事 
(事實上我們第二天回到學校時，保安人員是用踢門的方法開門的....)。為了安全起見，我們還得把在四個課室的 XO 
搬回一個臨時的「倉庫課室」，再安排保安人員看守呢！<br /><br /><form class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;" contenteditable="false"><img alt="blog_0607_10.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_10.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="300" width="464" /></form><br /></div><div><br /><br />場面還滿壯觀的：<br /><br /><form class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;" contenteditable="false"><img alt="blog_0607_11.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_11.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="300" width="404" /></form><br /></div><div><br /><form class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;" contenteditable="false"><img alt="blog_0607_12.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_12.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="300" width="446" /></form><br /></div><div><br />到這時候，我們第二天的工作才大致完成。別看照片好像很光亮，其實時間已經是傍晚六點了。一來夏天日長，二來四川在中國偏西，日落時間也較遲。(三來陰沉沉的照片不好看，所以我也輕量調整過光暗 :-)<br /><br />晚飯是麻辣火鍋，奉上照片一張：<br /><br /><form class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;" contenteditable="false"><img alt="blog_0607_13.jpg" src="http://www.olpc.asia/blog/sichuan200906/blog_0607_13.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="300" width="400" /></form><br /></div><br />( 待續！ )]]>
