Thanksgiving in Cameroon
This was supposed to be a Thanksgiving post, but then I got a little sidetracked that day and the following ten (first child).
Most anyone who reads this blog is a busy multi-tasking type managing a torrent of information. The trouble is often so much of this content is the same thread, so to speak. Therefore, I find it completely refreshing to take a regular jaunt over to my friends' blog about their year in Cameroon. It's an evocative instant taste of what it's like to live in a place where so much life is had without many of the things that we Require to make it through our own days. See Cameroonian beverages, ceremonies, shopping and so much more.
One technology related example: There was a major Web freak out recently when a big Internet datacenter went down for three hours after a truck hit a transformer. OMG!!! What are we going to DO? This datacenter served a relatively small (but significant) number of sites and services.
On the other hand, the underwater fiber optic cable that connect Cameroon to the Internet was damaged last month, and most of the country lost access to the Internet for weeks.
