I read this news about Grand Haven, Michigan today. It has become the first city in America to have Wireless Internet access.

They are paying less than what I am paying for my dial-up access here in Burma. I want to move to that city :-) Right now I am paying about $ 30 a month for my 56 kbps dial-up connection.

Monthly prices for always-on broadband Internet starts at $19.99 for 256 kbps, and unlimited mobile VoIP calling is $29.99. Connections up to 1 Mbps and per-day pricing options are also available.

If you think that I am the only one being overloaded at the Myanmar Institute of Theology, I suggest you have a look at this article by Paul and Gail Aita.

I was wondering if all of my e-mails were stored and checked. :-) :-)

It seems a while I have a chance to update my diary. My webserver http://dmw.mine.nu is down and I couldn't find out a reason yet. I contacted my another friend in Germany who said he could help. Now my site is up again on another address.

A lot has happened recently. I have been giving speeches on Information Technology and education at several places in Mon State.

I also met a Swedish pastor whose group helped the Myanmar Institute of Theology buy some new computers for the library use. They also helped many other projects here in Burma. I have been extremely busy buying, maintaining those computers and giving speeches at several places. I enjoy I have a chance to change many lives.

Here is a picture of me and Owe Kennerberg buying new computers for MIT library. Owe Kennerberg is a senior lecturer in Systematic Theology at the Stockholm School of Theology in Sweden.

Money to buy new computers

I will update more after my dmw.mine.nu server is up. It will be a while. Check my site later. Bye for now.
