hacking internet consumer protection..stumbled upon v.good e-evidence:-)
by Gakuru Alex 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Folks, It's always been very difficult, if not impossible, to convince someone how much 'down' one has been if their flat rate Internet has NOT been connecting... But some good news... Linux users can review *all* their failed Internet connection attempts, and all other computer activities log. Serves as quite some incriminating evidence - both ways (e.g. if been visiting ...movie sites...) because every IP address visited is logged as well... and since e-evidence is now legal courtesy of KCA, 2008. If you run Ubuntu( Linux) Operating System, have a have a look at your current /var/log/messages file. Once the file gets large it's archived and a new small one created. An e-record of all failed Internet connections/downtime register now exists. Poor Internet Services Providers chungeni. Sasa ni kubaya sana! Alex

Orange data - have become really baad!
by Gakuru Alex 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

I take back all praise I had heaped on Orange "broadband" service. I have painfully suffered since last Friday, no internet yet I am up to date on payments. My calIs to customer care are actually disconected by their operators. How terrible!

Free Divx-->DVD

Hello Skunks, I have a few .divx files that I'd like to write to DVDs, to be playable via standard DVD players. I have google-ED and seen a few apps, all commercial. Since this is a one time thing, I don't intend to invest in any software, so I'd do with pointers to a free one:) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

PC to TV video splitters
by Peter Karunyu 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi people, I have an application installed on a PC which generates about 10 graphs of real time data, I would like to output these graphs to about 4 sony bravia TVs. My preliminary investigations indicate that a video splitter would do that. I have never used one before, any skunks with more details? Any local suppliers? What if I wanted to have the 10 graphs be like kawaida TV channels so that I can tell users something like; "Switch to channel 5 to see report X", any leads on I can do that? Thanks!

by Davenport, Luke 29 Jun '09

Hi Skunks, I am looking for a partner to help me launch a new SMS content service. The person should have experience or at least an interest in mobile content and technology, some experience in starting or at least managing a business, and some knowledge of business-to-customer marketing. This person would need to be comfortable in an entrepreneurial role - getting involved in many different aspects of the business and being paid on an incentive-for-performance basis. Must be reliable. If anyone is interested or could suggest someone who might be interested, please contact me off-list and attach a CV. Thanks! Cheers, Luke Luke Davenport 0716-086-600
