Rest is history.... and certainly my best day at work ever.
20 yrs ago about now I passed thru Checkpoint Charlie from East to West. Fraught exit but had notion to go to B'burg gate before office.
Some of my (very) preliminary opinions on Google Wave « Cloudlands http://j.mp/45DgGH from @johnbreslin
All set for airport and despite hotel testing fire alarm all afternoon I will be sorry to leave Zambia and its glorious sunshine.
We were gamed. Our presence used to provoke authorities although that was denied. Not the story we came to cover. Always something in Africa
After protest yesterday and frontpage today http://twitpic.com/o85eo Been warned off streets. Holed up at hotel until we leave tonight. bore

Twitter still making twits of mainstream journalists – Telegraph Blogs via @jjn1 - http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/technol...
"It’s now possible for columnists and companies to hear what people are saying about them. That’s unnerving for columnists, not least because their opinions are now frequently challenged by people who know more than they do. Instead of responding like adults – correcting when they’ve made a mistake, engaging when someone raises a sensible point and defending themselves from false accusations – they are whining like children and dismissing technologies that they don’t understand. It’s not the complaints culture on Twitter that annoys me, it’s the complaints culture among columnists that is getting tiresome."

I go to a chicken market early in the am. With guards - WTF. What's worse is I think this is a good idea. Relentless, the word for this trip

BIS login request takes you to page about logging in. This is why geeks will never rule the world. No real person has time for such nonsense
Chinese owned plastics factory in Lusaka with no a/c. Never thought I would find myself grateful to be stepping out into the cool Africa sun
Movember Ireland http://ie.movember.com/donate Coming to that age. So what's it to be? Seventies porn star or Gen. Zapata. Or are they kinda the same?
Out on the streets of Lusaka with Michael Sata, Overenthusiastic crowd. No teargas which was a blessing. No "invite" from police either. Yet
Due to fuel rationing it took some effort and persuasion to get full tank we needed to get back to Lusaka. Not hardest thing I did today.
just had an "Ice Cold in Alex" moment at the hotel bar - sublime
Went into unpropped tunnel at abandoned copper mine to film scavengers at work hammering out ore. It was hell. What was I thinking?
