Girls who created social network for farmers...M-Farm

http://www.nation.co.ke/News/Girls%20who%20created%20social%20network%20for… "The working girls all resigned their jobs and incorporated students Linda, Lillian and Catherine in the firm. Jamila is the firm’s CEO while Susan is the technical officer. Linda and Catherine are marketers while Lillian is in charge of public relations. The M-Farm service helps small-scale farmers get price information that will help them know where to get the best deal for their products through their mobile phones." I think they are the perfect examples of what KE needs on developer fronts and wish them success with their hopes and dreams. They have a long road ahead and could count on all the support from the agriculture industry. Well done Ladies and a big congrats from skunks KE ! :-)

Opensource audit management software

Hi, Anyone with an idea on any opensource software out there that would fit the bill? I've tried googling it up but just not hitting something worth looking at. That is, something like ACL (or tries to be like ACL), but for free, and opensource! Thanks. Edwin

They say that if I invest Ksh. 5K per month I can make over Ksh.100,000 per month...haiya! 1. Has anyone on the list used (or is using) this service? http://viva.co.ke/ 2. Is the Premium SMS business still viable? 3. Does the website look a bit shady and/or shoddy? Claire.

So. Considering my long way away from Windows. There's viruses on my parent's machines. Windows 7 with AVG 2011 Pro with updated DB's. The viruses found when connected to my Mac as : learica folder solchains folder. I can't seem to delete them off the drive with the mac and AVG just sit's there watching them, they're now not showing up on the windows machines. Anyone seen these viruses and any ideas on how to rid them off the machines and drives? InfectedbycomputervirusesWATCHMAN! -- ...and I shall shed my light over dark evil.

@BigBoss, :-) a flash back from the past.....I'd suggest you to try what we used to do when dealing with semi-conductor/microchip problems You need to find a freezer spray to superchill to around -60F, this will change the semi-conductor state. This superchill spray was available from RS components in the UK. Alternatively, put the card into a small platic case and find a deep freezer to leave it overnight though your best bet would be the superchill spray. With the card super chilled, try to format it immediately. It just may work.. HTHs.
