Why is the Internet so slow in Bali? What can I do to appease the Gods of the Internet? Here are the slides from a Skill Sharing session held at the Hubud co-working center in Ubud, Bali on Tuesday June 10, 2014. We explored the above questions and shared practical, immediate tips on how to boost your productivity and save your sanity. http://www.hubud.org/event/skill-sharing-session-secrets-fast-internet-bali/ The presentation was given by Ryan Sobol and Jane Fung -- software and business consultants from Seattle, WA. As husband and wife, they spent nearly a year in Bali making offerings to the Internet Gods as they lived and worked abroad.
