Offtopic: 2012 the movie - is it about the 10th Planet Nibiru ?
by ndungu stephen 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

The movie opens this weekend [I hope it opens in Kenya too].. The trailer only shows continental plates upheavals,meteorites crashing the earth and massive floods that even wash the himalayas,,,as humans try to rush into pre-built 'Noah's Arks' in stampede fashion. But the question is: What is causing these disasters ? Is it the approach of that tenth planet, {Planet X} which has been rumored by scientists in the past decades to be moving in a wide arc elliptical orbit as it goes round the sun and occasionally passes close to earth after many many millenia? Will they throw in 'little green men' or "ETs' as inhabitants of the Planet X - who have been rumored to have caused the start of intelligent life on earth and the extinction of dinosaurs by crack-pot scientists .... etcetra etcetra ? I hope they will throw in a bit of "aliens" ; apart from all the water...[?]

Private Beta Testers for a Drupal Theme
by Dennis Kioko 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hi guys, I have developed a simple Drupal theme based on a CSS layout with a dotted Black, Green and Red background(thanks to our national flag). I have only tried it out on flock . Anyone interested in downloading and testing it out can download the attachment. I am looking forward to your suggestions and feed back. Let me apologize for the gangster coding (code without comments) P. s. I am more of a coder and have little, if any talent in design. -- with Regards: Get your free technology e-magazine in pdf format: Tekniaonline: http://bit.ly/tekniaonline-2 Sterotyping: Abednego, tell the tribe by the name; visit the blog : http://gramware.blogspot.com
