[…] I’m a Toyota guy. When we first moved to Southern Sudan back in the 70’s, we had an old Toyota short-wheelbase FJ 40. It was the toughest car in the world – managing to cart our family around the African bush or out on hunting trips – and is probably still beating around in Africa somewhere. […]

landrover v cruiser himmmmmm! spent about equal time in both meandering through some serious Lagos potholes in the rainy season – actually my parents had one of those frog type citroens which was simply the best of all. will also appreciate some help with the slides – my parents have hundreds and my sister has been slowly getting them developed but its expensive – this sounds like a great alternative.

Hash,
Those are great. My dad is still working putting all of his slides too. Even some from when my grandparents were in TZ. What a great way to share them with everyone.

hey hash i have some slides from ‘them days’ i might need guidance on “… complicated combination of old slide projector, a scanner that accepts slides,” I had forgotten about them, digitizing them would be great. So you went from being fundi wa magari to fundi wa web? Cool pics…ulikuwa kababy kazuri?!

AfroM, it’s actually not that complicated. You just need to buy, borrow or steal a scanner that takes slides. Attach that via the USB cable to your computer. Open up photoshop and click “file > import > your scanner name” and then follow the instructions of your particular scanner. Once the image is in Photoshop, then you just save it as a jpg.

I would suggest you purposefully limit yourself on the number of slides you choose. Primarily because they take a couple minutes each to process. You can only get a couple dozen done in an hour.

Good luck with your digitizing, and shoot me an email if you need further guidance (or skype).

Hey Hash, nice pics. I’m a Canadian new to the region (I’m in Lesotho). You seem to know what’s going on in the South African web space so I thought I’d ask your recommendation of a south african web hosting company. The plan is to put up a wiki-ish sort of do on mountain biking trails in Lesotho. There are thousands of brilliant trails, just nothing mapped out. Only requirement is php. Well this is my little technology idea for Africa, it’s not as ambitious as your’s, but there you go. If you could package your’s in a file smaller than 5MB, i might even be able to download it in Lesotho. I am curious at least.

Cheers,
Paul

I bumped into your blog while checking out what everybody else is writing about Africa, via Google.

I am very impressed.

By the way, Kenya is my homeland and I couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of BLUE BAND on your table. I bet you like KIMBO too!

JKE, it was a long road, but my mzee is a natural writer/storyteller so he saw the value. I actually think he’s enjoying himself quite a bit with it, now that he’s getting used to it.

Now, I’m the one who needs to crack the whip on myself. I still haven’t even customized his layout…
