Seed Guardians - Blogabond

Just completed a workshop this weekend in Tumbaco, about an hour east of Quito, on preserving seeds and propagating plants of the Andean forest. Most of the Andean region has been heavily deforested, and this knowledge is essential to restoring a semblance of the natural forest. The workshop was conducted by a member of the national Red de Guardianes de Semillas (network of seed guardians). I had met Javier, another member, at the course at Rio Muchacho, where he taught 2 days of classes. Last Thursday, I'd attended one day of a course by the network on "ecological design," also in Tumbaco.

Appears now that the computer problem (or at least one problem) was a loose connector for the disk drive that prevented booting but not reading the disk. Reinstalled the OS but after inserting a shim to hold the disk in place it seems to be working fine now.
