Egypt
Off to Duhab tomorrow. The next week is going to be a real test for me of using the technology. Will I find internet access in the middle of the desert? will I be able to upload my daily blog on stories and pictures ? These are already stored on a remote server so in theory providing I can find a computer linked to the web I should still be able to upload text and images. Had thought of taking my "work in progress" along on a memory stick until I learnt that this is a popular way for hackers to get into computers. Going to a country paranoid about terrorists it is unlikely I would be allowed to access a computer with a memory stick.
Material for my book continues to flow in at a steady rate and I need email access daily. Folk get stroppy if they dont get an email reply within 24 hours. Thanks to a visiting young Dutch boy next door have finally managed to convert all my audio files into MP3 so I can edit interviews. My online book will now have podcasts- oral history in the raw.
Hope to do some video in the coming week, the location should be great, and it will be a change from delving into the past.
