Not as glamorous as last week

I'm once again hanging out with the ALDET crew, but no waterfalls or chimpanzee calls today: Tibou, Gabriel, and Hilary and I are in Labe today, working on a website.  Abe, a fellow volunteer who works with Credit Rurale, has been kind enough to offer not only his expertise but also his office space-- in this 10x10ft room, we have: 2 desks, 5 laptops, 6 chairs, 1 desktop computer and printer, about 20 cellphones charging, 1 generator running downstairs, and 1 amazing wireless network.  Thank you thank you Abe!  We also have about 14 different things going on at once: Abe and Hilary are registering the domain name and downloading software; Tibou and Gabriel are working out the text we want to put on the site (at least I think that's what they're doing; I'm facing the backs of their laptops, in the opposite corner of the room), and I'm here, updating the blog, working on the job description that will let me stay here another 8 months, emailing, working on a powerpoint presentation... meanwhile, at any given point, we have at least 2 cellphone conversations going at once, and at least 12 of Abe's colleagues have stopped by to say hello to his guests... ah, multitasking.
