Please help

Hi, Anyone knows a network engineer at KDN? Despite making two phone calls and emailing support pinpointing the exact problem, we have not had connectivity on Butterfly WIFI - Kilifi for three days now. Their authenticating server 10.61.32.1 is down, we (Butterfly Customers in Kilifi) are losing business due to the downtime caused by the non-responsive authentication server. Also, their DHCP server 10.199.0.1 has an 99.98% downtime. We all have resorted to setting static IP addresses. We are on the verge of keeping a spreadsheet with client and IP address to reduce IP conflicts. Thanks, David Njuguna +254 722 731795 http://www.davidnjuguna.com

I think you need to set the site width to automatic instead if the width that it's currently set to Edit your template's CSS: Extensions>Template Manager Select the template you are currently using and select edit Go to Edit CSS At the "body.contentpane" section, check the width and change it to "Auto" Hope that solves your problem And it's not "geeks", it's "techies" :-)

Hold off buying IPAD!
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 10 Aug '10

Without persuasion from Aki I have decided to hold off buying an ipad (which was on my must get shopping list). Main reason being, I will instead put my money on android for my tablet, as the best solution going forward. Inspite of being somewhat disappointed by my HTC Hero, I am still convinced that android will take over both tablets and cell fones. There are two amazing products that have proved very innovative and price friendly. Take a look at this: - Notion Ink's Adam http://www.notionink.in/ which will retail for like US$ 320 Samsung's Galaxy Tab (google for the link). I am a sucker for Samsung and as and when they make shirts I will adorn myself with some. They have this amazing display technology called AMOLED have a look at the Samsung Galaxy S fone (wooow). Granted the Apple 'kool factor', I don't think this sufficient to sink $700+. Cant wait to get especially the Adam.
