K-24 TV signals very Unfriendly to TV sets(Mombasa)
by chege boniface 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Dear ALL, If you are a Mombasa Resident you might have noticed that since K-24 started transmitting some times Last week,Most TVs restored back to their Original settings!,..The most annoying thing is that remote controls 1-0 keys arent funtioning.You have to either press mute buttons so that you can activate the program scroll keys(Up and Down). My Tv Set is a Wega and the Problem that am facing is being experienced in the Neighbourhood. There is a message being displayed on the screen- FACTORY in Red letters or FAC after a duration of time. Can someone explain to me the reason behind this scenario.I just woke up and upon switching on My TV it had already searched and assigned K-24 as my No.1 channel!!,..This is strange. Anyone with a solution on how I can revert back my Set to Original settings shall be rewarded. Thank you. Regards, Boniface.(0720043650)

by Cynthia Wahome 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hello All I am having an issue with a client who i am doing VoIP. Calls can be ongoing then they suddenly drop.Doing a simple traceroute i am able to reach the client's server and router. Ping tests indicate a round trip of about 20-30ms.I dont think this can affect the quality.What cud be the cause of the call drops? Also is there a tool i can use to measure VoIP perfomance. Also note that i have not done any QoS because the calls are too few Thanks ---------------------------------------------- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Jambo MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. --------------------------------------------- "easy access to the world"

Hi All, I have put up a little Data Provider /ISP *informal* survey here http://bit.ly/isp-survey. If you have some spare time, you can help by filling out the form. The results are anonymous and will be published and distributed free of charge at the Tekniaonline blog ( http://tekniaonline.blogspot.com) and in upcoming issues of the Free Tekniaonline ezine. Hopefully,industry insiders will not hire people to skew the data (hence the informality due to lack of means of detecting skewed data. -- with Regards: Get your free technology e-magazine in pdf format: Tekniaonline: http://bit.ly/tekniaonline-2 A Campus Perspective, Comically wrapped in Satire : http://gramware.blogspot.com

Two doors, only one has treasure. Two guards each guarding a door. One is a perpetual liar, will always say the opposite of what is true, second one will always say the truth. You are required to ask only one question to determine where the treasure is. You dont know who is the truth guy or the liar. How do you find the treasure? -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBQ2o0LcmnQ&feature=PlayList&p=B41970323E7D1…

kai wulff on balance of power
by Peter Muchemi 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

I found the "balance of power" statement interesting. On thinking about it I found it to be spot on esp in discouraging deviation from the norm thus stiffling innovation. Locally guys go for the big guy and the small guy who can later become the "better option" is left to die. A few illustrations. 1. Every car infront is a T. 2. T.. my country my beer. K will never have a chance with its S brand. 3. 90% of new coders know VB and nothing else. 4. The better option has over 14m subscribers as they claimed yesterday in the papers. 5. Majority of accountants will only use QB 6. And the list goes on. -- Regards
