Software as a Service : Need for type approvals nor not?
by aki 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Interestingly, seems that Asterisk is/was listed under the CCK as a type approved device. That means due to its nature as a Pabx, those installating it also need some sort of documentation as certified installers? Now imagine if you went ahead and installed a project based on Asterisk, then regulator guys showed up to do inspections and only to tell the client that the installation is illegal. There will be a time for this. Afterall, installing " telephone " cabling needs to be ceritified to meet standards. Will CCK / Govt stay clear of Software as a Service categories or will such categories be slowly sucked into regulations/requirements? Me thots.

I know for MS there are team editions, so coders can work on portions of the projects on one platform. What about the rest? Php Web developers, how do you work in a team project effort or enviroment?

Kenya Customs (OT)
by Brian Ngure 19 Feb '10

I am truly amazed at the Kenya Customs guys. I am being asked to pay more than $100 duty for GIFT items worth about $50 in a Fedex package. What kind of maths did these guys learn in school? Anyone else had these kind of issues? And if so, how did you resolve them? -- Regards, Brian Ngure
