You can send and recieve money, buy and sell stuff on the net using paypal as long as the site and/or services in use support it. If you selling something on ebay or recieving cash from one fo your relas abroad, so long as they are able to use paypal, it's as easy as abc.....

Just the thought that the future of MySQL, Java, Netbeans, OpenSolaris and so many more open source applications now lie in the hands of Oracle gives me shivers up my spine. regards, Simiyu

I heard a rumor about someone getting the GPS locations for the towers (base stations) for the mobile operators in Kenya. Anyone know anything about that? Erik Hersman www.AfriGadget.com www.WhiteAfrican.com

open source or freeware...... does kenya contribute to development of Open Source?
by aki 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Monday morning buzz. From a programming point of view, does Open source mean freeware? As an example, I googled ubuntu to see if any kenyan is developing apps or " ports " for this and have been unable to get any info. How many times has this list been queried about a simple PPP dailer function for eg Ubuntu, yet I've not read anywhere if someone has written and " ported " a script or a " kenyan PPP dialer using local avaliable modems technology " ? I understand the typical scenario of php and mysql which really is an end use but what about improving the OS functionality itself? Shida ni nini? Pls correct as necessary. :-) Asante.

IMS Networks + IPTV in Kenya?
by nyarotho kennedy 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi good people, i need to know if any IMS networks have been deployed in kenya, and if so how independent are they from the existing GSM/GPRS -are they piggy-backing on these networks? And also if anyone has interacted with a SIP deployed IPTV app. what was the streaming quality, type of compression and bandwidth utilization? I'll be more than greatful! Its kind of necessary. Most of you know what this line means ''.....submitted in partial fulfillment for the Award....blah blah'' yes that! God bless y'all! -- People should know when they are conquered.
