Fw: List is quiet? or am I blocked?
by Maina Samson 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Please re-enable my profile on skunkworks. I've been delisted since early august and sent this request on 9th August. Apparently it was disabled because of email bounces which am not sure how they come about since this is an active email account. I have responded to the list's confirmation request but I got the "bad confirmation string" message. I suspect the string has expired because it came on Thursday and I did not have a chance to look at it until today, Monday. I will appreaciate your assistance!

This is really odd - no Internet and Smartphone slowing down on Safcom..
by Odhiambo Washington 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

On Safcom 3G.... I am able to access local sites but not int'l sites - this is okay for me, because I can use a proxy on another network for int'l sites, but ... My smartphone, a Garmin Asus M10, also joining in the dance is a bit weird... network signal keeps fluctuating and so the phone is like hanging (of course it's running Windows Mo 6.5).. I can use all features on the device except the phone and txt-ing.. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
