Hi There,

I have worked with Erasto and now send him money to support a nursery he runs. I wondered what had been your experiences of him? Did you visit the nursery?

Thanks

Comment on How to make your electrical stuff work in South Africa by Michael

Great, you now understand the meaning of the phrase, “‘n boer maak ‘n plan.” For even more fun, be a South African traveling around South America. I think the electrical system was designed by a guy from Dell.

Hello,

How can I find out how to help get money donated for schooling/education for the Haitian children? $35 a day is pretty simple, it’s just a matter of being educated about this.

Please let me know how I can further educate myself on these topics as well.

Thank you kindly,

Joniene

Sadly, none of the options are great. You’ll have to pay a lot for very little compared to US ISPs.

To get anything approaching the reliability, low packet loss, and unlimited usage of US providers, you’ll have to pay $1,500 to $2,500 per month for T1 speeds.

Even at $200/month, you’ll get either multiple outages and high packet loss with speeds around 750 kb/s or good reliability at very low speeds around 128 kb/s.

You can also get services around 1 Mb/s that are reliable but come with a daily transfer limit. At $200/month you can get a daily transfer limit of 1250 MB. This can work if you have only a few users or if they’re using it only a few hours per day.

At $40-80/month like you would pay in the US, you’ll get a service that in most situations will be completely unusable.

So you have to choose the least of all evils for your particular situation. You won’t find anything at a lower price per megabit than Access Haiti. If you choose Access Haiti, expect at least one long-duration outage each month and packet loss ranging from 5-20%. Access Haiti does have competitors, but their pricing and performance will be roughly similar.

Hi Cliff,
I found a great post about you setting up a network there. Is there any chance you would be willing to share some of the data you gathered about ISP options? We plan to go down there shortly to help out a University down there and may need to provide some Internet connectivity. I did find Access Haiti, and others like it but was hoping to find something higher volume/cheaper price per megabit.
Regards,

Comment on Silverlight? by Seth Deubner

Hi, I came across this post while looking for help with fixing Microsoft Silverlight. I’ve recently changed internet browser from Opera to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5. Now I seem to have a issue with loading websites that have Microsoft Silverlight. Everytime I browse site that requires Microsoft Silverlight, my browser freezes and I get a “npctrl.dll” error. I cannot seem to find out how to fix the problem. Any help getting Microsoft Silverlight to function is very appreciated! Thanks

I don’t know a lot about religion or the history of Christianity – I’m just starting this journey. But his comments noting that a Christian Community should have:
“1) shared history; 2) permanence; 3) proximity; and 4) a shared imagination of the future.”

Are the very definition of most Internet communities I’ve had the privilege of being a member of, or leading. Over time we develop a shared history; leadership, technology etc. changes and we become permanent; proximity is generated through open communication and occasional regional or national gatherings; and the internet communities have some of the strongest visions for the future.

I feel an online church will build more of a community and encourage more people to learn about Christianity.

Thank you for your service and your post!
