I got to use 65 dollars from my alert pay account that I recieved from * http://bux.to/?r=satanicpanic dont panic i was young and satanicpanic was my username. Anywy had used it for two months inconsistently coz it became boring for me and i was busy. And there is a time i had used an autoclicker n they mentioned they wont pay u if u had used an autoclicker so i left it alone.. bt since I had refered sm other 5 guyz who also reduced there activity on it. SO i tried redemmin my funds last week and they paid my Alertpay account and since i dont hv a credit card to withdraw i just bought a rapidshare account. * ** *Oh and they rounded of my 63.76 dollars to 65. * ** *Am back on it.

Career path for a developer; requests for opinions
by Peter Karunyu 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Dear skunks and skunkette developers, I would like to know, from your personal experiences, the path taken by a developer in their career progression, and if possible, the changes over time in the number of zeros in your remuneration, roughly in the following format: 1. What languages, tools and technologies were you using when u started out 2. What languages, tools and technologies are you using now 3. How many jobs have you had over then, and what generally were you doing 4. How has your salo/income changed over the same period I find myself in a situation where I need to advice impressionable minds on the same. Much thanks!

ccTLD vs gTLD
by kennedy waweru 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Greetings skunks Greetings I am just concluding some research I have been undertaking for the last six month on the policy factors of our Kenyan .ke that hamper its uptake. My focus was on how some of these policies affect ( hamper) the uptake of our .ke. With regard to this, I'd like to throw a general question to those dealing with domain names (registrars) on their take on this. My research questions touched four distinct areas 1. domain structure policies: that is policy issues on how the Kenyan .ke domain is structured and who should determine the policy for the second level domain. factors such as second level registration as opposed to third level registration 2. **Registry and operational policy approach: that is policy issues regarding who should administer the database for the .ke domain and the financial model employed. 3. Registrar policy approach: that is policy issues regarding who should be licenced to access the .ke domain database and the license conditions. 4. Social, political and ecomonic factors that are outside the policy influence but which affect its uptake and use. Though I have collected data from the sample represented in my research, I'd like to use skunkworks to feel out the general feeling about the same. My general question is this: compared to policy of popular gTLDs like .com, what are the strengths and weaknesses of our kenyan ccTLD policies that have directly or indirectly influenced its uptake either negatively or positively? I also encourage other skunks and skunkettes to air their views. Kind regards, Kennedy Waweru
