@Maina Thank you. I referred to the model as incomplete because it lacks retractable landing gear, proper cockpit, control surfaces... etc. The modelling process for one of these should be modular. This was rough work. Making it a commercial venture will involve a ton of other complex considerations and costs...Marketing, Advertising, Accounts, Investments, looking for Funding etc. It is abit difficult to get all those sorted out due to lack of funds and manpower. I would rather avoid all that headache and go with a simple open source route. Besides attaining the objectives I mentioned previously will more or less guarantee countless intagible benefits. _______________________________________________ *Good judgement comes from Experience.* *Most of that comes from Bad Judgement.* _______________________________________________ * * 2011/11/28 James Maina <jameskmaina(a)hotmail.com> > Your 3D model is sawa kabisa.

Charger for Asus Transformer
by Kevin Omondi 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Skunks, Does anyone know if by any slim chance I can get a charger for the Asus eeepad Transformer. Some insensitive goat at the post office decided to tamper with my package and steal the charger ( instead of the tab thank God ) and now I have to sit and look at a dead piece of Tegra 2 Honeycomb sweetness that I cant operate. I ve learnt my lesson never use post office for any shipments from anywhere...even if it is by USPS. I reported the issue and they said they are conducting investigations. Will appreciate help from anyone. Thanks Kevin

Kenyatta Hospital is ISO 9000
by Joseph Maina 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

I was wondering what qualifies an institution to achieve the ISO 9000 certification, because if Kenyatta Hospital is certified , then the certification is a sham, does the hospital have KEBS mark of quality.? The place is the mess of the messes

Are there any Devs on the list interested in starting a FOSS sim?
by James Nzomo 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Ever since I got my hands on Hoary Hedgehog, The lack of a proper linux Air Combat Flight Sim has been a bother. I have considered filling up that void afew times before to the point of building 3 incomplete aircraft models but development halts due to lack of moral, moral which can be generated when working as a team. Sort of like going to the gym alone versus going as a crew. In former you are more likely to quit after 3 days. XD Kwa ufupi, is there anyone who can channel some time towards the opensource coding adventure of your life?[?] The objectives (I think) :- Bring a formidable WW2 Combat Flight Sim to Linux distros (though a cross platform sim wouldnt hurt much) Prove to foreign IT investors that local devs are very very 1337. India's coding BPO biz should be challanged. Build a verifiable CV. Bring together local codeheads who can rely on each other for expertise on different coding areas. Sharpen your 1337 codding skills. Whatever other advantages an opensource project brings to you Find attached an *incomplete* blender model of a "razorback" P-47<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_P-47_Thunderbolt>C thunderbolt - "the jug" P.S. It will be a GPL v3 FOSS app (God willing) and thus chances of it being a commercial are very very very nil Consider it a constructive pass time project that is healthier and cheaper than drinking.

Cyber Cafe management system [Linux]
by Juggy Boy 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Am looking for a linux (ubuntu) cyber cafe management system for a cafe migrating from microsoft to linux. Just in case am not clear, the system should help the cafe admin to easily bill their customers after they are done surfing. It should lock all workstations when not in use and start timer/billing once logged in. Your pointers to the right applications (open source) are greatly welcome.
