More Tech problems

More tech problems. Especially dealing with the joys of Dreamweaver. The biggest issue is trying to work on a large site with Dreamweaver, which,  while keeping the folders organized doesn't give you a great idea of how pages are constructed. CSS pages are kept one place, html pages another. The person who normally maintains the site is out so I'm having a hard time finishing the clean up I want to do. There are issues with scaling of pages, tables being used for un-table like purposes, I've cleaned up and organized as much as possible. 

Also there's a rooster outside the office who constantly (crows?), which is funny, better than  a car horn. 

The 2d issue is the lack of power. The power goes out, and the back up generator goes out too, so everything stutters for a minute. 

The 3rd and fun-est is the really slow download time/speed. The wireless can be really unstable, so I'm constantly dropping off. 

We're really spoiled, to have the facilities and power we have back home at times, as much as we grip. We have luxurious technological power. This I won't forget.  "A server" we hardly knew ye.

hang in there, mike.

i looked at a chart recently that explains how each african country received their internet. it's amazing how screwy it is. i'll try to find the chart again. 10 percent of south africa uses internet, the numbers increment about 2-3 percent per year. do you know what's the percentage in uganda?
