On April 20th, one year ago (almost) the first log was posted! You can go back and read about my remodeling if you miss those days ;-) I must say I am quite happy with how the log has turned out. What a wealth of stories about life in the homeland. Not much has changed in my life since that time I guess. Hopefully today I will come to an agreement for a month or two of consulting. That will keep me busy for a while. I must say this problem of not being able to find a long term job with good pay is one of the most serious out here. The thing is that most of the jobs are for aid organizations which only have one or two Americans hired on, running the program. There are just not enough private companies operating out here yet that are willing to pay more for perfect English and a western education acculturization. This is one of the countless reasons this country needs tons of investment, large and small...
These past few days I have been trying to concentrate on adding a massive amount of material to cilicia.com and it has been overwhelming. I am trying to add 230 articles about the Armenian genocide which were published while it was happening, and hope to get it all online before April 24th. It is such a big undertaking though I don't know if I will be able to pull it off. This will be an increase of 33% in the number of pages, and the first 620 took me 6 years to add!! Meanwhile I have another massive project, adding over 300 genocide survivor accounts, which I had also hoped to complete by April 24th, but am ready to give up... it will have to wait even longer. They have already been translated and all typed up already. In any event, once again I doubt that any of the text will be edited before posting. The articles have a lot of typos and the survivor accounts are translations which need a really good once over and I haven't got the patience for it now. If anyone wants to help with either of those two projects, just let me know. Otherwise I am going to post as is, and let people get out of it what they can for now.
