Sourcing For a Portable Disk Casing
by Odhiambo Washington 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

I have a small disk with SATA interface which I'd love to use as an external storage. The problem is that I do not have a casing for it. I am looking for a sleek casing. Not necessarily expensive, but the type that I see with Transcend disks - with rubber padding, etc. I prefer if the casing does not need to be independently powered, just USB powered. Anyone knows someone selling such casings, new or used (in great condition), please holla. I need one yesterday:-) The disk I have is the laptop size - I guess that means it is 2.5". -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

Hi all [was tempted to say skunks [?]] Im in sort of dilemma here and I need advice/input on this. Im working on this application, there is a product list with over 200 items currently. This list is reviewed every few months, every review will introduce quite a number of new products or drop certain products. Good things is, the product coding is progressive, however with the frequent reviews adding the new items and marking others as deactivated becomes quite a task. Things to consider 1. The list is submitted as a ms spreadsheet with all products new, existing or otherwise deactivated. 2. The application is php/mysql hosted on a linux server 3. Deactivated products cannot be deleted as they are used with the app for trend monitoring 4. There is the possibility of having this list shared with other external applications[read websites] Currently the list is in a database, as indicated earlier maintaining it is becoming hectic, your thoughts?

just trying the "shibboleet" trick to see if i can get some great tech-support from butterfly... hope it works.... so i've been calling tech-support for the last [1,2...3,4..] 7 WEEKS trying to get butterfly wifi up again. 7!! .... and its weird coz their same infrastructure carries *another* wireless network at this place [ loopnet ], which is fully functional and FREE.. but well, you cant expect something free to be fast and reliable... not in kenya at least. loopnet is now sufficiently crowded and beat up... ... and there are so many of us here ready to pay for butterfly wi-fi again... the thing used to be fast and conviniently everywhere and did i mention how fast it was [i got so used to the 400kBps that 3G felt slow and sooo last year] btw.... am not sure my emails to skunkworks are getting broadcast to everyone else.... if you're a skunk and can read this, any kind of reply would e re-assuring
