MCIT

Today I visited the Afghan National Data Center (ANDF) at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) with LTC Anwar. That place is very nice. From the outside it looks like a normal trashy building, but the inside has a modern data center. I'm trying to convince Anwar to move our mainframes there so he doesn't have to worry about power and generators and dust, etc. He seemed moderately warm to the idea.

The people there were very smart and educated. It's refreshing to know that the country has those kind of people and that they've found their way into the government. Whoever ends up in charge of the country, I hope they retain the educated workforce. They are doing a great job of propelling the country into the 21st century.

Here's a picture of Anwar during the tour. They made us where shoe protectors to keep dust from falling off our shoes.
