An Internet Connection Would Be Nice! (12/19/12)


We have been here one week. I have only been able to secure an internet connection twice. The first time, the electric power went off, shutting down the entire computer network, after one hour of access. On the second occasion, the wi-fi was painfully slow. It took ca. 3 minutes to call up and send a one-line email Reply!

Presently, I am sitting next to the IT staff responsible for the internet connection. He graciously gave me one of the two cable connections he has on his desk. After I got to my email and sent one Reply, the internet connection went down; the connection now reads Local Only. So I am biding my time, composing emails and this blog off-line, to paste into email once (if) I get internet access again this afternoon.

I see my IT seatmate working to restore the internet connection! In the past 30 minutes, several other persons have come in trying to help. I pray for them.

PS: After an hour waiting for the internet connection to be restored, I give up! I’ll try again another day.
