Things are progressing nicely, well at least for African standards. While the bank, as so many other institutions, promises heaven and delivers something well below that, this is not surprising. Registering business bank accounts is the fast part, the slow part of course is the paperwork. Not to worry, as there are many other things that require our attention before we can officially open our doors for training! Currently the most important feature we are working on is our website. The shocking truth is that you can learn all you want about your mind, personal development and state management, at some point in the day there will always come the inevitable moment where you want to take your computer and get to work on it with a baseball bat and a big smile on your face… Our webdeveloper, bless him for working the hours he does, is a big fan of content management systems. This means that instead of having full control over the website, you get a little box where you can input your text and modify it. While this is great for some things, it also proves to be a touch of a hassle at times. While I was battling it out with keywords and formatting, Nathan (owner of the Mind Institute), went to work on editing the text. After writing a really beautiful homepage text in the editor, the computer god, who must be Loki, decided to play a little prank: the editor timed out, and that did not necessarily amuse Nathan too much. He is currently trying to intimidate his computer into giving the text back, or alternately plotting its early demise by some very creative ways. Building a website out of thin air really is a very interesting venture, something that can challenge you, your skills in copy writing, patience, and research. That is of course if you want your site to be excellent, otherwise you can just upload anything you want. We will keep you updated on how we are progressing, for now I better stop Nathan from building his insane moustrap/killing machine that will end his computer….![]()
