How about we create an online betting game? Start small first...
by aki 24 May '10

24 May '10

Its a monday and the sun's out. :-)))) Online betting game that works as follows : Each week we predict the reliability ratios of Telcom Companies on a weekly basis. Eg Week 25th to 31st May. Then we decide on the chance ratios and earnings/losses. So during your downtime with your choosen Telco, you have a chance to win some money. An pure example, not picking on anyone specific: For the week 25th to 31st May, we predict that Queen Bee will be down at least once, whether voice, data or money transfers. The ration on this is 10:1 . Meaning if you put in 100/- Kshs and are confident that their services will go down and if this really is the case, you could win Ksh 1,000/- at the end of the week. If not, you loose the ksh 100. Sorry, the system will not take large bets. Same goes for other providers and services. We can even include slow speeds that have different betting ratios. Ofcourse we would need to develop a monitoring system. Can it be done? Lets innovate and make some money. me thots. -- www.projectskenya.info

OT : We no longer have characters like those in the old Bond movies. The millionaries are becoming so boring or going green?
by aki 24 May '10

Nation has this story : Kenyan ranch in the spotlight as widow seeks Sh900bn inheritance. ( http://www.nation.co.ke/News/Kenyan%20ranch%20in%20the%20spotlight%20as%20w… ) Back in those early days, I'd get a gig to design a sound system here or there or do matv distribution for odd weekend jobs and sometimes it landed me, through references, a few really nice short gigs. I rememeber this ranch. Nation left out the private Lockheed L-1011 tristar plane that was fitted as a personal jet. And cheetah cubs were like pets. Got to see my first tiger at that time. lol! :-))) But what I remember most is the other name in the Nation Article. Some guy called Khashoggi and company who owned Ol-Pejeta. This place had its own 747-length landing/takeoff airstrip though I never saw it used the very brief time I was there. Rumor had it that our KE Airforce which is nearby had warned no craft to breach its zone but I guess when you have a flying office and know the powers to be, there can always be an exception. :-)))) We had some characters in our own backyard. Those days it was about showing financial might, the biggest spenders and making your name on Time Magazine Cover page. If you have ever watched the old bond movies like moonraker and the rest, you'd understand. Nowadays, millionaries are thinking about saving energy and the world through INNOVATION and the rest. Such a bore. :-)))) Post soon. -- www.projectskenya.info

MacBook Pro 13' 2009 - Startup Problem-Mac HD Not Detected
by Isaak Mogetutu 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hi! My MacBook (Intel, 15 months old), froze while I was using it and then I had to forcibly shut it down by holding down the Power button. After that it just didn't start up. A flickering Question mark was all I was met with. I could not run the Apple Hardware Test with the Snow Leopard installation The AHT results tell me that there is no problem with the MacBook's hardware and I should check the software. But the profile doesn't list the Macintosh HD at all. And neither does the Startup Disk. I welcome suggestions to overcome my problem, considering the fact that Techtool Pro reported that there was no problem with the Mac HD after an intensive scan which included a surface scan. And I didn't drop the notebook either. -- Regards Isaak Mogetutu Twitter: twitter.com/mogetutu Skype: mogetutu
