Cisco Routers and SmartNet Service
by Murigi Muraya 13 May '09

When would you recommend a Cisco router (say an 871 ISR) to a client? Or even better when would you buy one for yourself? How well does the Cisco SmartNet Service work for us in Kenya (and East Africa)?

www.chekelea.com I did this for someone... As comms is my thing, chekelea has been a great experience and side project in the works for a while now. Graphics deliberatley not added so pages can load on even the slowest connections, including handsets. Tested on my htc touch pro and it works fine. added SSL and will add credit card modules in due course. site tweaking it further. Anyway enjoy product comparison. other online stores in the works. Lets say the early bird catches the fiber worm? Cheers. :-)

Fw: [ke-internetusers] Development of Water and Sanitation Monitoring Platform
by wesley kiriinya 12 May '09

Can Skunk(ette)s develop this? If we can then lets sign up a dev team! All those in favor say I, Aye, Aiiii, Eye, ... --- On Mon, 5/11/09, Kristof BOSTOEN <kristof.bostoen(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: Kristof BOSTOEN <kristof.bostoen(a)gmail.com> Subject: [ke-internetusers] Development of Water and Sanitation Monitoring Platform To: "ke-users" <ke-internetusers(a)bdix.net> Date: Monday, May 11, 2009, 6:03 PM Dear developers on this list, (original e-mail below) Please have a look at the attached call for an expression of interest for the development of an on-line platform for monitoring country water and sanitation data. After long discussion this platform will be Open Source which is exceptional as Open Source was (and maybe still is) not so well understood by everybody. Websites such as http://www.ushahidi.com and the existing collaborations such as Skunkworks-Kenya drew attention to the possibility of such an approach. My hope is that Sub-Sahara Africa and South East Asia software developers could participate in the development of this platform as such platforms is most needed in these regions. Some examples: -Until last year there was a website http://waterpointmapping.info/ which was a first (not Open Source) attempt to such a platform but it seems not accessible any more, neither on the internet or through the "way back machine" (http://www.archive.org) (I last accessed the site 15/4/2008) -The government of Andhra Pradesh has developed a platform called "watersoft" which currently does not have the mapping possibilities asked for in the expression of interest but mentioned in an informal discussion that they might considering making their platform Open Source http://jwst.ap.nic.in/pred/ (Not sure if useful) -WaterAID and other organisations have different publications referring to water mapping tools although usually from the users perspective. No doubt that this an ambitious project but for any group seriously considering this project it is possible to help you get in contact with suitable organisations in the water sector if required. Kind regards Kristof =-=-=-=-=- original e-mail =-=-=-=-= Dear All, Please find attached a call for Expressions of Interest just launched by the World Bank's Water and Sanitation Program for the development of an on-line platform for monitoring country water and sanitation. Please circulate it to companies you think would be interested in developing the platform.
