Thursday, January 19, 2006 Yikes, this week is going to kill me. I'm trying to get three sites simultaneously to the point where I can say "I can't do any more until you do something". It's going well, but still I don't like having to rush around like this. Or for that matter, live in the cyber.

The one thing I got really used to in the US was the constant flow of information that the internet provides. Whatever question I had, I could have the answer in seconds. CSS question? Thousands of tutorials. JavaScript, not even a challenge for the power of Google. Even novel things, like what language to they speak in Liberia (English is the official language, but only around 20 percent speak it) were so easy. Here though it's certainly not like that. If I don't know something, or don't have the reference on hand (that is, in digital form)... that means I have to make a plan to head to the cyber. That means 20 minutes each way of bike riding. It's not that bad for things like blogging, emailing and the like, but it doesn't satisfy that instant gratification that we're all becoming so used to in the States.

So yeah, there's that.
