Wow. Last night as Muni and I were eating dinner, I was telling him about all the things I did that day: talking to manufacturers, the feedback I’ve received on this project so far, the donations I’ve received. I was talking about how if every day were as good as the day I had yesterday, the project would break expectations. Judging by today, we are well on the way: the community support was just as intense as yesterday, and I’ve heard great things from people all across the world who are interested in supporting this project and helping it grow. Once again, I’d like to give a big “thanks!” to everyone who has donated money in the past few days, it is really changing the course of this project for the better.
Anyway, today Muni and Nani had a new guest arrive. Sabrina is currently traveling Asia, quite a far cry from her home town of Montana. Among other places, she has been to Laos, Hong Kong, China, and even Tibet! Her stories from Tibet are really interesting, and I can’t wait to see the photographs she has taken. She is here for a few days so I’m sure I’ll have some time to see all the photographs she has taken: you don’t see many photographs coming out of that region these days. Sabrina says that if any police see you taking their photograph, they will confiscate your camera. Yikes.
I’m still working through the post-Diwali rush of excitement here at High Tech Pioneer, so there isn’t a whole lot of time to take pictures — I was lucky enough to take the photo for this post’s thumbnail from the windows as the sun was setting. I did manage to setup the ADSL router (replacing the old one which only seems to have a few intermittent opportunities to provide a connection each day), so the work I do on the internet (emailing, downloading programs and updates for Ubuntu, troubleshooting problems I run into and looking up shell commands for Linux, etc) will go by much quicker — hopefully in the coming days I will be able to get out and start taking photos again.
That’s all for now.

I was born in London, England. At the age of ten, I moved to Hong Kong, which opened up a whole new part of the world: Asia. Since then, I have enjoyed traveling to different locales around the world. Having graduated from High School, I am taking a gap year to work on a computer project in Nepal, and later a cultural immersion trip in Ghana. This is the blog I am using to keep the world notified.
