Any solution for the long queues at banks?
by John Maingi 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

Recently I had to wait in a queque for more than two hours at a bank to be served. You can imagine what I was thinking in all that wasted time. Of course I felt wasted and very angry having to wast all that time. Yesterday I went to my second bank thinking I will send less time only to be disappointed. I thought there is a way to solve this irritating thing of queueing in banking halls and the IT people are in best position to give the solution. Filling the papers and having them verified by the banking clerk takes time. Entering the information written to computers takes more time. Why do the same thing twice. Supposing the banking software is created in such a way that a client can server themselves by entering the transaction through several computers availed in the banking hall. All what the clerk will do is to verify the details entered by the client and process the transaction by a click of the mouse. This way, the only task that takes time will be counting money and I bet it will take much less time to wait in a queue. Someone should develop this idea and sell it to the banks!

GOK websites review:
by [ Brainiac ] 14 Jan '10

Hello skunks, As the new year moves on, and as we seek to make better our and the people around us 's lives, i suggest a structured , self evaluation of IT projects. The presented case of an online survey shows that in addition to bashing, meaningful responses could be gotten from the public. Someone is definately listening on this group, even the webmasters could be in the list and hopefully make something better. So im proposing we start at the very top, whats wrong with http://www.statehousekenya.go.ke? -- Energy | Environment | Technology & Freebies on the net ( http://tinyurl.com/yfentyj) P.O Box 44441, 00100 Nairobi.

The above looks like output from a Linux box. Filter out the output to contain details of the parameters obtained when the VPN connection is active. For resub to the list, perhaps the list software automatically disabled your subscription due to bounces to your address.
