Happy New Year’s wishes to all, though this blog ends the year on a bit of a sour note. My computer revived while in the States, but, now that I’m back in Afghanistan, it seems to have failed again–while another December blog post was in the process (among the only files that was not backed up). All my photos are also stored there, and while most are backed up as well, it is very difficult (and a bit risky) to manage external hard drives while working on shared computers over here.
Until I figure out what is wrong with this computer, or purchase a new one, I’m going to have to do the unthinkable and put this blog on hiatus. This hiatus could be only a matter of a few weeks, though it may also be a few months, since it’s possible I’ll be in Afghanistan that long and I don’t want to bring a brand new computer into these living conditions. All is well otherwise, I wish you the best start to your 2012, and please stay tuned.
