When we first worked in Kisiizi in 1987 there was absolutely no communication available with the outside world other than walking or, if the mud roads allowed it, driving some hours, then queuing in a post office to try and make a phone call... now we have IT... and it can be amazing, for example I can sit here in my office in Kisiizi, download this article and people all over the globe can be reading it in the next hour... [welcome by the way to those in Russia, Romania, Ukraine and China who are reading the blog apparently according to the statistics...]
but we do face challenges, not least the erratic internet connection. The most common excuse from the company providing our connection is that the cable carrying the link has been cut by roadworks on the main road to Kampala... This can be a real problem as increasingly important messages come via email such as information about meetings that we should send representatives to, so may cause issues if we fail to receive them.
Then sometimes the hardware can have its limitations - we thought you might enjoy the following email we sent to friends last year from a challenging laptop:
========
