Wired!
Yep, finally! I'm wired, right here in my room in the med school hostels. That might sound rather mundane 4 yo' all in the states and stuff, lakini, over here, we are over the moon.
What makes it even sweeter is that it was all the efforts of a group of us web savvy med students, who put in the extra effort... against all odds. And quite some odds they were. We had tried to get the sch admin to do it, but it sounded like..
"we've not even wired offices in the deans office, nani nyinyi?"
"we haven't thought about the hostels you live in yet, but maybe in the next few years!"
Ha! I've only a few months in this joint and this was the crap they were telling me? Any how, we already had all our comps connected to a local area network and i had got a wireless router when i was in the states, so then we thot' how do we do this? hmm?
Easy, there are internet points in the lib, and the lib's just across the fence, across the road, across another fence...
So a few connections here and a bit of reading there, and b4 we knew it, we were off into cyberspace!
So akina Clemo, Gacheru 'n everyone out there that checks out me blog, i'll do my best to keep the posts coming..
Baadayez,

Vipi Doc!
Wired eh, hiyo ni maendeleo...its nice that you guys decided to do it youselves otherwise, just as you said, the admin would take years to have the hostels wired!
Just stumbled on your blog..btw, I'm a former mangu-man.
Thanx.
Hiyo ndio maendeleo kweli kweli. Really nice hearing from a fellow Mangu man, so which year did you finish?
Pamojaz.
Sema Doc,
good to see that you finally hooked your LAN. i've been extremely busy, but i'll be checking in frequently. i hope you hid the router well (must be a good router coz of the range) and secured it coz anyone could connect to it if it's unsecured.anyway, i'll holla at you baadayez.
Clemo
