by Peter Osotsi 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hi Skunkers; A friend wanted to send some money via Mpesa, but discovered that her blackberry phone doesnt have a Safaricom icon. Any idea how I can return this icon? I've tried "wipe" and that doesnt resolve anything. Peter ------------------ Don't wait for success; hunt it down like there's no tomorrow.

Give me one reason why I shouldn’t steal,” said the teller
by aki 25 Nov '10

Amazing article on BD about banks losing 1.7billion. http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Kenyan%20banks%20lose%20Sh1.7bn%20to%20f… However, one question that crops up is how much of this stolen money is in circulation on mobile platforms? How does Mpesa explain the circulation of millions of Kshs in daily transfers and where is all this money coming from and going to? Some things to ponder.....

I need a Joomla guy for a web design job.

25 Nov '10

Hi, In the spirit of "kujengana", i need a Joomla (or whatever you prefer to use) guy to design a website for a church ministry. Ok...not from scratch coz i had already started on the base work -- say 45%..End product should be something very interactive. But dont worry about the graphics, someone else is taking care of that. Terms: Reasonable bid - not necessarily the lowest. If you have done some work before, you can direct me to the site. Contact me offlist but for transparency i will post the final decision here. PS. 1. I know what web design is all about so dont come to me with quotations that require a tender committee....am just trying to create a job. 2. This is a public list, may the members butcher me if i dont keep my word to pay coz that does happe :) People should know when they are conquered.

Hi, I know a couple of IP and Commercial Lawyers... Together with @James Muendo's contacts, I'm sure we can bring 3-5 of these for a workshop sometime soon? What questions would the Skunkworks team like to ask? What would you like to know... An agenda of sorts is needed before we organize it. Thanks, -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki(a)gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares | B: http://www.kaboro.com/ |
