Internet Failover Help Needed
by Simon Mbuthia 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hey people, I have a problem. The problem is an internet connection that is on fibre as well as wireless. Now, I have one public IP address on a Cisco ASA 5500 series device. I may plug in either the cable running to the fibre switch or the cable running to the radio on the rooftop without changing the public IP address/gateway combination. But I dont want to do it manually. So my question is... (obviously), can I plug in both cables into my ASA device and have it automagically detect when the fibre link goes down (thanks to KDN) and route traffic through the wireless link. The ASA device has 4 ethernet ports, so I can use two for the outside interface and one for the inside interface then configure (if possible, of course) automatic failover for the two outside links such that the public IP address is assigned to whatever outside interface is active at any given time. Thanks in advance. Me

Verification of National IDs
by Thomas Kibui 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hello, When doing land transactions one is obliged to do a land search and the land registrar who has jurisdiction in the area when the parcel of land in question is locates confirms the land particulars, whether it has a title, when the title was issued, the current owner and if there are any legal cautions, caveats or charges against the title. This tries to prevents one from buying land on a fake title ... Is there a system to verify the National ID in order to ascertain that the details (ID Number, ID Serial number, Name, DoB, District + other details) of the ID owner or the person who we see on the ID is indeed who they claim to be ?

by Kevin Omondi 15 Nov '11

Skunks Safaricom has just announced its half year results that has seen its half year profits dip by 47% . Is this as a result of the low calling rates regime coming home to roost or is it just that uchumi ni mbaya na watu wamesota ? http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate+News/-/539550/1270124/-/s9381i… What are your thoughts ?

Windows 2008 Backup Tool
by george 15 Nov '11

Hey Skunks, I am looking for a good backup tool to use on Windows 2008 server and preferably open source freeware. The bundled win 2008 tool is quite crappy, I can't carry out incremental or differential backups on the network. They seem to be primarily focused on backing up to attached drives. Thanks,

Facebook Friend Suggestion Algorithm
by Tech List Kenya 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hey guys, I'm beginning to think these guys at facebook use more than 'normal' means to create friend suggestion list. Two weeks after I spent quality time with a 'friend', her name pops up on my friend suggestion list. There is no logical way we are fb-related. We have no mutual friends, different neighbourhoods, didnt go to same school, hell, we are even from different tribes. And she uses Nokia, I use idiot. How did FB connect the dots? Unless they monitor my phone numbers :( I wish this was a fake story but it so isnt.
