Hi techies, Joomla Web designers I need a module like that of Nation.co.ke if you got a link or a module please send it, I tried the following but did not succeed in customizing it to my desired needs (to behave like the nation,co.ke and not a drop down) Cheers guys -- Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.

Bill Gates on twitter
by lordmwesh 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Bill Gates started using twitter on 19th January and within a day, he had 0.25million followers. And the number seems to be swelling like a speed timer. With the sentiments you get from FLOSS guys, you might think he has no friends. I guess its fun following the devil http://twitter.com/billgates lordmwesh -- ______________________ For affordable php and asp.NET hosting transworldAfrica.com | Fluent in computing transworldAfrica.com/domain | The ALL powerful domain search tool kenya.or.ke | The Kenya we know

Is 2010 is going to be a tech developments year?
by aki 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

So I think this year is going to be a fast pace mover for tech developments in KE scene. However, I see a big problem of uptake and development. Infact for mobile developers, web developers this is an optimum year? My concern is that there is going to be confusion as to where one should be i.e web or mobile. If I & M have taken the Visa deal, expect other banks to follow with others and soon you have more e-payment gateways than needed. Mobile payment gateways are mostly in the pipeline or offer certain functionality. I suspect KICTB, Min of Info are also seeing the potential of these this year, spread out to over 2 years. The question is : In what area are you developing your skills? Mobile or Web? Are you ready for the demand? Just sharing some thots, I could very very wrong.... Over to you ladies and gents! :-) (ps: am away soon, so will not be responding for a few weeks. pls exclude me from any discussion. thnks) -- "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

Exchange Database Recovery
by Philip Musyoki 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

I need to recover data from an Exchnage Database (.edb) which has become too large to successfuly restore from back. So my idea is to recover the mailboxes separately and have them mounted on the user's computers as archives. The database is exteremely huge (200 GB), and yah, I know, I should have been wiser but now I need a solution. Anyone with some tools that can just extract this data. In happier days I would have just let the whole thing go but now the Chief of Staff is breathing down my neck.

Do we have similar ideas around here? http://locomatrix.com/ -- Sent from my Voice Recognition Watch© -------------------------------------------------------------------- God is not an excuse for lack of discipline -------------------------------------------------------------------- Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.

The Starfish and the Spider

"The unstoppable power of leaderless organisations" See it at <http://www.starfishandspider.com/> That is if you want to understand the internet. I've often said that technology is about people. It's never been about softwares, flashy gizmos. How I wish could get a hard copy of the book. (to re-read, share whe(n)re there's no power:) regards, Alex
