New tricks...

I am learning how to blog in an environment that doesn't allow for "always on" access compounded by slow speeds... when speeds over 32K is considered "broadband"... it take a lot of getting used to after using T1 connections (1M or higher!)

Anyway, thanks to all for your support. There is much to blog about and I shall try to do some blogging even with my slower connections.

Since internet time is at a premium, I am learning alternate ways of blogging which though new to me... are not new to many!

I find it easier to "write" then save the file/document on my flash drive after which I can copy & paste. There may be some problems with editing & fonts but it beats losing work coz the internet connection "died"...

Research is more difficult since the searches take time. (Almost) forget pictures!

Anyway, let's see what I can do!

I wish i could sambazia you some bandwidth, but don't complain, kumbuka some 10 years ago when Africa Online were in thing and the speed was about 14kbps and 22kbps if you had a "pentium"

You should run a Mozilla firefox plugin (add-on) off you your usb [ i think you can do this with IE7 or even goolge gears] drive that allows you to blog and then upload once you connected to the internet.

Bottom line there are many portable apps that run off the usb drive

Mse, you'd been long gone. I guess you now accept the importance of a net connection (any net connection). Just toboa where you are, maybe they have internet in prison...
