Blackberry data roaming outside Trinidad

According to Digicel, when you carry your blackberry anywhere outside Trinidad and Tobago, you will be charged the regular data rates for roamers as listed by the network you connect to in that country. Digicel Trinidad does not charge you for roaming.

What a week

So the last 7 days have been something else, very eventful. It started off with me thinking about my personal problems and now I am wondering about my higher purpose. I have gone on many ups and downs and hopefully that will end soon.

Last week I had to work on a couple projects that were stressfull.

On Friday I went with friends to NAPA for a classical indian music show that was excellent. NAPA itself is much better than Queen's Hall, my knees do not even touch the next row in NAPA but I cannot close my legs in Queen's Hall. The taps in the gents FAIL but there is tons of headroom by the urinals, unlike Queen's Hall.

On Saturday I went looking for a new window regulator and springs and shocks but I did not find the regulator. The window is working for now though... mayb those few accidents I made with the hammer on it helped. Also there was a failed DJ show in Space La Nouba. You definitely had to be drunk to enjoy that. The show in Zen was 50 times better, no drinking required.

Sunday I went to a meeting for a group that is trying to help themselves by helping the country. One day I think they will succeed.

On Monday I got a heap of responsibility I hope I can handle.

On Tuesday I got more details of my new role that I got on monday and I got called for an interview I was nervous for.

Today I went on the Interview and was told I was over qualified for the vacancy, which I agree with but why was I called for an interview if they already saw my resume? Anyway, I did offer to set up their website because they need one, then they offered me a spot on their managerial board ... interesting eh. I will see how that goes.

Wow it's been a ride.

Eddoes Choka Recipe

So it's about time I tell you all about how to make eddoes choka.

Ingredients:
2 kg eddoes (one pound, or 5-8 eddoes)
Salt
Pepper
Onion
Garlic

Directions:
1. Wash and peel the eddoes
2. Boil for 20 minutes (or until soft) with water covering the top of the eddoes
3. Drain the water and put the eddoes in a bowl. Use a pestle(or fork) to crush the eddoes into a smooth paste.
4. Add salt, pepper, onion and garlic to your liking.

This goes best with sada roti and serves 2-3 people.

Bon Appétit!... I mean, Enjoy!

Lotsa visitors

Since I started this blog early last year I have gotten over 10,000 visits. This turns out to be about 5,500 unique visitors. I think that's alot and I hope that I helped people learn things. It is interesting to see where these views are coming from, in countries I did not know existed. Google automatically translates my pages into other languages so really anyone gets to see what I say which is very cool.

The most popular page by far is the Playdium review. This is followed by the Novatel MC727 Driver.  I try to write things that I cannot find the answer to online so other people will get help finding it in simple English.
