This morning we went in to the ExPat offices to meet with their team. It became very apparent that they have no idea about running a stadium, or what happens at their stadium. They were talking about integrating Sportskeep to their CRM, and all sorts of weird and wonderful ideas that are way beyond the scope of the product (or anything you would ever need if you were using it as designed).

They asked me if I had considered local web hosting. Next thing I know they’ve teed up a meeting for me with a Data Centre – it’s supposed to be the 3rd largest in the world when its finished. I thought it might be a fun opportunity so I agreed to go along. We scheduled that for tomorrow.

They also decided they wanted the remotes now. This makes things difficult – as we leave Tuesday night, they don’t have long to arrange them. They were given the opportunity to take these in the initial proposal, but the refused. Obviously they figured they’d be able to save some money doing things this way. I told them they would have to get one for me to test with before we could do anything, which they agreed to do.

We went out to the stadium and tidied things up. Finally the phone arrived at 6.30, and with some playing around I was able to configure it and get it going. I told them to arrange to get more out to the stadium by tomorrow morning, and I’d get them going.

Back at the hotel, we ate at the restaurant again. A couple of drinks, and then we called it a night.

These Indian’s are very frustrating.
