Journal ParticleGirl's Journal: Mexico, Disconnect, Achievements 7
I will be spending 11 of the next 16 months in Mexico and am happy to report that I have a pretty good internet connection. So that means that I'm back to reading Slashdot regularly.
I have not read Slashdot regularly for years, and feel pretty out-of-the-loop.
I like some of the changes a lot, though. But don't really know much about them-- for example, this achievement thing; what's "the Maker" mean?

Welcome to Mexico, are you here to work or study?
About the achievements... We are all in the dark about many of them... We can only speculate

Gracias! I am both working and studying: I am organizing a doctoral project here, splitting time between the D.F. and Chiapas. What do you do in Mexico (City?)?

Hello,
Your PhD project seems interesting (mainly the Chiapas thing). Are you by any chance doing some kind of environmental or social study? If you are into that maybe we can make contact.
I am myself from Mexico and form part of an NGO ( http://www.atvmex.org/ [atvmex.org] ). A friend of mine has quite some experience (a PhD about it) on the Selva Lacandona (in Chiapas) and the socio-cultural aspects of it.
Drop me an email [recaptcha.net] if you are interested.
Regards.

I'm an archaeologist, working in northern Chiapas (alrededor de Palenque) and while I'm interested in modern socio-cultural aspects of the Selva Lacandona, it's not my focus of study. So your work sounds interesting, though I'm afraid I'm useless to you!

Ah well, I was not thinking in you being useful to the NGO but more on the NGO being of use for you (contacts and all that).
nevertheless good luck !
