It took me almost four days to complete setting up the charity website that I promised to do, from the point of purchasing the domain name to having it ready for public viewing. Of course, in between, I still ate, slept, shit, shopped and watched movies.

Most of the time was wasted downloading an important file from the web that kept refusing to be downloaded. I wasted MANY hours just waiting for the file, without which I could hardly shape a major part of my website.

Almost half the time was spent sorting through stacks of photos, picking out the "best", editing, uploading to the server, publishing on the website and describing them.

The problem is that I am not a very technical person and I am not very good with building websites. I do get stuck now and again and I soon realize, again and again, that actually no one would be willing to help. Well, maybe my friends are just shitty. The most they would do, would be to tell me which website to refer to.

Over these past few years, I have only come across ONE person who would help me unconditionally. Not only would he teach, he would help me to find a solution if he does not know it off-hand. He would also guide me until I have things working the way I like them to work. With all the shitty people around me, it makes me treasure such a friend more.

The thing is, I know already that basically nobody cares less what I could or couldn't do, yet I get disappointed all over again when I get flippant "solutions." Anyway, I am happy that my project is wrapped up with the minimum of begging and that for the stuff that I could not make to work, I was able to compromise and "make do" with alternatives. PHEW!
