A Quest for Community

Well, it's now Noon, on Monday,
27 Oct., 03, and I'm in Auroville! It's taken me awhile to adjust to
being here in India for the first time since 1963, so I haven't been
keeping up with this journal. It's also taken me awhile to find a
wideband connection here in Auroville where I can login using my own
computer (a Mac G4 12" laptop). But yesterday I discovered that the
Internet Cafe located next to the Auroville Solar Cafe (on the rooftop
terrace of the Solar Kitchen) has an upstairs room where I can plug my
Mac directly into the Net via an ethernet cable. They've even given me
my own IP number. And the cost is just 60 Rs. per hour (exchange rate
is about 48 Rs. to $1.00 USD), or about $1.25/hr., which I can pay for
with my Auroville "Pour Tous" Guest Account! So that's where I am now.
I'll post a few brief comments for the last couple of weeks to bring us
up to present time, and then continue from there.
