Hi geeks, I'm trying to do DNSBL lookups using Spamhaus Zen on my command prompt, but I am having one problem, when I enter the reversed IP address followed by zen.spamhaus.org, nslookup appends .co.ke to spamhaus.org, so that 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org becomes 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org.co.ke How do I stop this? I am using Redmondware for servers version 2003. Someone please help. Thanks Me.

PetrolTracker: some housekeeping...
by saidimu apale 06 Aug '10

A few ground rules to make this whole process fun: - As will hopefully become clear in a moment, there are many critical non-programming areas in this project. No one should feel excluded in any way. - If you want to participate, and I hope you do, then there should be a way for you to participate. If there is no obvious way, then create a way for you to participate. - We're all here to learn and build each other up. You're good in this and I'm good in that, you have what I want and I have what you want. If we play this right, we all end up the better for it. - No one gets put down for not knowing and asking. - It isn't a crime to make a mistake, as long as we "fail fast" and learn from it even faster. - There is not one *right* way for doing something, just different trade-offs involved in decision-making. I hope we'll be able to "think aloud" and try to justify the decisions we make. It isn't a choice between right and wrong, mostly it is a choice between "this consequence" and "that consequence". This list is by no means complete, or unchangeable, just something to start us on this track. Over to the community to refine this... Saidi

The cost of ICT education and certification
by aki 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

If you are an ICT person, you know this very well. That such education does not come cheap. Even if you are downloading free Video Trainings, you will still pay for certification fee. You also incur costs over the time duration such as e-books, internet costs etc. And obviously there has to be a commitment to time and personal sacrifices. Recently I had a discussion about this with some who is in business. It turns out that if you calculate your costs over time spent on such studies, you could have easily invested those amounts in stocks etc. The business person looks at it as time that they were turning into profitability. At the end of a 2 year cycle, your financial input has not risen compared to inflation versus the amounts spent on education while the business has turned a profit to compensate for such. Its a vast subject but have simplified it. In a nutshell, will you throw away your skills or be compensated ? You make the professional choice. -- Rgds, "Skunkworks-KE is a social platform for technologists.
