What means more to you?

Some folks might know that my University has recently decided to cause me some issues... Well... I ain't here to brag - I just wanna get to the bottom of a question...

What is more important - What I'm doing here at the moment...?
  • Enabling communication in the Afghan languages for the first time - launched the world's first Afghan language email service; creating a new community website to enable a complete free and open source Linux operating system in the Afghan languages.

  • Creating new systems that work better in the local conditions - no power; no problem - our wireless router and server comes at less than half the price of a regular server and works for 5hrs on a battery.

  • Making it easier to work with less net speed - connections here ain't cheap and ain't fast because there's no fiber optic cable here. We'll cut the speed you need 95%

  • Training 250 people to become self employed entrepreneurs designers creating web pages, solving electricity problems and doing basic networking... Massively cutting costs for companies and organisations to connect up and improving effectiveness.

  • And other things like coding competitions to encourage students to apply their knowledge, power conservation, etc. etc.
Or getting back 1 year sooner and dumping it all? This isn't something I will just run away from at 3 weeks notice. Something I remember learning about management - it doesn't count for anything until it's finished. And that's what I intend to do. Period.

I would say that it's a shame that anyone would consider trying to stop that. Oh well....
