KB Blogs
by Shiro Njagi 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

The above was a better, re-vamped version of KenyanBlogger.com that was created some time recently (not sure when) the former kenyanblogger site had crashed, apparently. So i happily imported my blog to this new one, KB Blogs, since back then when it crashed, all my posts disappeared. Anywho, it happened again, I guess it crashed. again, it crashed with all my posts. Basically, my question is, how exactly does a blog (hosting) website crash? And why would it happen twice to the same site?

Intrusive Monitoring
by Odhiambo ワシントン 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Folks, I have a computer being used by someone and I'd like to 'monitor' everything they do without raising suspicion. It's a Windows PC. What software (can be commercial or open source but must run on the host and send me all the data I'd like captured) do you guys recommend. It must run in stealth mode, and be able to co-exist with the Antivirus on the host. I have used this app from www.guardiansftware.com but they seem to have gone under... I cannot reach their addresses. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "Clothes make the man.

Hi, >From a simple non-scientific poll carried out yesterday, most seem to prefer Friday, in town. So it's settled to the 19th of June 2009, Kengele's Koinange. Simple social meeting talking tech to politics and everything else that can spring up in your minds. Starts six, no fixed ending... Thanks. -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki(a)gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares |

Re: [Skunkworks] Safaricom Blocks torrents
by Riyaz Bachani 11 Jun '09

How resources ? You calculated the cost of your 1MB of download, and charge the user that price. Unless you're charging the user less than what it's costing you to download 1MB. It's an issue when you sell pipes, then you have to put aside resources. But when a user pays for each MB of data he downloads - let him do what he wants - he's paying for it anyways.

Corporate SMS App
by Murigi Muraya 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Part of the Corporate sms app is programmed in C and the rest in ASP.NET C#. It can do the following. 1. Read Short Messages from the SIM card connected on USB Port through GPRS (Safaricom or Zain) USB modem and populate into MYSQL 5.1 for future reference. 2. Create a Primary Data Unit for sending via the same Connectors and track as sent items. 3. Reroute a short message e.g One message can sent to the number (Safaricom or Zain or other) connected to Modem and the system reroute it to other numbers (Contact group) specified in phonebook. 4. Generate reports on all selected cretiria 5. The system allows to select dual sim card mode. Where you can select one to send and one to receive. 6. Short messages received by the system out of phonebook are rejected. ____________________ On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 11:30 AM, Kevin Oeba <oeba.kevin(a)gmail.com><oeba.kevin(a)gmail.com>wrote: Murigi, Can you share what with the rest of us what the corporate app does ?
