One Day, Six Hours
February 24th, 2005 by Jason Pearce.Believe it or not, it took me only one intense day to develop ThirdGoal.com. It’s an empty (but powerful) shell of a website that is just waiting for Please Corps volunteers to begin using it.
In less than six hours after launching the site, we have our first registered user: Art.
Welcome Art. I hope you enjoy Third Goal and begin using it to blog your Peace Corps experience.

I’ll also use it to blog my experience in Ukraine, assuming I will have some sort of Internet acccess.

That’s great Clem. I hope you get a lot out of this service. I’ve traveled to more than 40 countries and have always found access to the Internet.
Many Peace Corps volunteers take a couple of floppy disk drives with them. Often you might find access to a computer that doesn’t have Internet access. You can then record your thoughts in Word or Notepad so that you may paste them later into your blog when you visit a city or your Peace Corps office.
USB key drives (jumpdrives) are also a good way to go. They are smaller, more durable than floppies, and are accepted by most Windows, Mac, and Linux machines.
