'Our man in Kabul'

Just 'skyped' my mate in Afghanistan; He's doing very well. Weather is ridiculously hot. Hes in the north of the country helping the UN help the Afghans set up the election infrastructure out there. Its not the safest job in the world, but he's done worse, and as he said, its in the warlords' (!) best interest to look after them as they are the ones up for election.

So I'm pushing my technological envelope and discovering all sorts of apps to help with communications; Skype is so cool! ( Apparently its like 'Vonage' - you know VoIP-type stuff ) you can talk or type and its free. Also, we're sharing pictures on 'Flickr' ( I know some of you already use this ;-D ) - what an excellent idea and it so easy to use too.

Finally, now we're not training as much, I've got time to build my own website. Using a free program off a magazine disc called NetFusion. Seems easy so far, and my 1st site is up in the virtual world. I know I've only scratched the surface of this program, but so far its not too bad, and the first site was ready in a few hours.

So, feeling the need for a 'well done T', I made some white chocolate and raspberry muffins! Oh yes, superbly gorgeous I can tell you. In fact they were SO good that they went before I could 'Flickr' them to Kabul. Ah well, that would have been teasing anyway, and he has a gun...
