Prepairing for Internetlessness.

There is a commercial on South African radio stations. It features a somber voice describing the effects of a serious disease. One that cripples and make communication impossible. The disease is called internetlessness and the first time Doris and I heard the commercial we were in the car with two other people from the BTM office. It was on day three of our internet being down and we all had a good laugh.

Thankfully the laughing is over we finally have internet at the office again. For almost all of this week Doris and I had to work downstairs at FEW (Foudation for the Empowerment of Women). Because of this we have missed the lively activity in the BTM newsroom. It was good to be back yesterday.  

Doris and I spent most of the day at "Mug and Bean" a coffee shop in Melville.  We met a few Americans there.  They were going to University in Johannesburg.  They where part of a missionary.  It was cool to meet people from the States.  

I spent my time preparing for the rest of the long weekend (Monday is a national holiday). I'll be suffering from internetlessness at home as well. My goal is to finish the template for BTM by tuesday. Without internet at home I have had to make sure I had all the components necessary for creating the template including help documentation and other templates to use as examples. I have the layout working in plain HTML and I hope the transition to getting the drupal theme up and running will be easy.
