While online I notice that Gwinn is on a machine that can use the Ichat AV feature. I try to connect..and it works. Fucking amazing. I was talking with Gwinn while in Lomié. I would have loved to talk for longer, but I’m already afraid that my connectivity bill is going to be astoundingly large… and this might just bankrupt me.. but it was great to hear her voice… it made being here seem.. well, farther away actually. It was also strange, in that is was sort of an impulse, and not a planned event, so we were casually chatting and marvelling at the ease and power of Apple’s stuff that it seemed way too.. ordinary. I can’t wait to get to Yaoundé with this stuff. Free global chatting. Excellent.
The consecration video is a hit. It has been playing in the bar across the street pretty much all day. I have a potential new customer out of it as well. This bodes well.. although, late in the evening, one of the new-elders came by and wanted to know why I didn’t film him when his wife was giving him a gift. I told him no one asked me to…this went over well enough, but I wouldn’t want to be in his house that evening.
I made the missing cat posters, complete with picture, and reward offered. We’ll see what that does.
I mefloquined again.. but this time, I am drinking several bottles of water a day.We’ll see if I go nuts or not.
Man, Apple would love to have you as a poster boy- and I wouldn't blame them.
I know that this is prolly a stupid question, but do you have a fast connection in Yaoundé?. I've used my DV camera to do video with Ichat AV and it works fine. It'd be good to have a video conference witchaz, and see yr fuzzy brained mug.
