Plight of experienced Sysadmins/skilled IT staff - New years food for thought.
by Patrick Kariuki 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

By experienced I mean a Systems administrator with over 5 years, in the corporate employment sector, aged 28 years and above. I noticed that those working for medium-sized companies that at some point do not continue to offer as much challenge as their larger-sized counterparts, continue to work until the time they either get a promotion(if they already haven't) or slowly get pushed to the corner as younger equally skilled professionals take over, and eventually get laid off(when the 40 age bracket nears). In a country with: - Very few Linux Kernel developers (who find it more rewarding to migrate to the US or Taiwan) - Limited/Already filled CIO / IT Director employment positions - Virtually non-existent Government research lab - subject to confirmation - Virtually non-existent regional high performance computing grids - subject to confirmation but with: - Numerous employers willing to exploit this vulnerable bunch - Numerous "listeners" itching to make a quick buck from ideas they overhear - Realistic but unnecessary academic or certification requirements non of which are pegged on the Systems administrator's prior experience. - A flooded market of Technical consultants - Underdeveloped Information Technology infrastructure - compared ofcourse to SA or Egypt - Not enough angel investors to support capital for potential small IT consulting businesses - Human capital specialists quick to label - 'This one will ask for alot of money' ..... I could go on and on What is the plight of experienced and skilled Sysadmins or IT staff that TIME considers 'deadbeat' where employment or self-employment is concerned?

OT : Historical Kenya and its land....
by aki 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Just been reading this article http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/InsidePage.php?id=2000025530&cid=4& and find the matters discussed in the article disturbing. In my travels all over in ke to see the beauty and diversity of the country over the many years, there are numerious times I've seen this ugly subject brought forth. New Constitution or not, it has no impact on the deep rooted problems that are well spread over KE. I think this line in the story above says it all "said they have vowed not to allow *strangers* to be resettled in the land as it belonged to their ancestors, hence it is theirs". Who does KE belong to is the question that comes to mind? Does the constitution provide for freedom of movement and settlement in KE without prejudice and restrictions or is our constitution a worthless piece of crap that is only good in paper for debate? Me amatuer thots.

Re: [Skunkworks] Land Cruisers Vs Patrols
by King'ori Gitahi 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Patrols are sluggish. �They take a long time to pick up speed. �It takes 7.9 seconds to hit 80 kph. �Sounds like nothing now but on along trip you will get annoyed at the inability to overtake while you have oncoming traffic. �Patrols are otherwise extremely robust and reliable and at one time dominated the Dakar rally due to this aspect. �They since lost out to Pajero and now Touareg. If you go for the cruiser avoid the Prado unless its the 2010 version or the box prado. �Prado is fast but unstable due to its narrow wheelbase and high ride height. �Its an excellent�off-road�car but poor on road car. � The VX cruiser is your best bet, it does on road and�off-road�quite�well. On road because it has a wide wheelbase so you can corner at high speeds without�worrying�that it will tip over (centre�of gravity and all.} and off road because well its a�land-cruiser. �There is a special done by Richard Hammond of Top gear where he pits all 4*4s together and the�land-cruiser�VX�Amazon�wins�against�the trooper, range rover vogue, pajero etc. �Look it up. �If i find the link i will post it. Happy off roading. Kingz For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
