Google Maps on iPad
by Odhiambo Washington 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

So, I have this pilot colleague who has been bugging me for some time now, that I install Google Maps on his iPad. I am not like the Ok3ch'es of Apple Cult, so I actually don't have an iPad to play with. It's been a hell handling this but finally we found the clue. We could not get this app because on his Itunes Account, the country was set to Kenya. At some point, an error on iTunes store became so helpful. It told us the App is not allowed for this damn country. So all we did was to change the country to the UK, and then enter a UK address as the shipping address and voila! I hate Apple. Why do they think that Kenyans should not run Google Maps on iPad? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

Looking back at 2011, did software developers manage to achieve much in KE?
by aki 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

I've been going through some of my old emails this year, looked at many sites out there, and feel very disappointed that we are still at the starting line. *Can we point out top 50 innovations or software development programs that made a significant difference, whether social/economical/end user?* From January 2012, for me less time on skunks and my target focus on the asp net list and some projects that *must must must be completed*. Call it the year end blues, but I feel quite disappointed that despite my noise for many things, I don't see the progress on developer levels. Coders and developers out there, though am a hobbyist developer I'd like you to electronically push me to complete some of the commited projects I really want to get going. And I'll also electronically push you to complete your projects. Let us re-evaluate in June 2012, our commitment and aspirations to getting KE online in many various ways must materialize. Incase this year some of my comments have been hard and may have offended you in any manner whatsoever, kindly receive my apology in advance and treat my comments as a crazy passion to get us somewhere in the code world. Around us, economically things are hard and will remain so for a while but the code world allows us all to put our brains to much use to overcome above the situation in many ways. With less than 15 days to 31st Dec 2011, I want to wish you peace and an even more successful 2012 when it kicks in.

<OT> Nairobi City is in the fast modern lane
by aki 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

While many may wonder my criticisms of the essential services, I know for a fact that Nairobi's Life Style is not different from many developed cities out there. Nairobi is indeed in the fast lane and the sooner people such as essential and critical services accept this, the better will be the outcome. There is no time to waste and the weekends are indeed that special time, infact balancing time and commitments is a major issue. This has forced many, as in modern cities, to get smart devices so as to balance the demands of availability and the fast paced life. For at least 60 hours a week, almost everyone is leading a fast paced life. So the problems start when we have people who cannot understand and accept the City culture and its growth demands. It is these same people who are bringing the backwardness of their ways and mental processes that go against a city culture that cannot be controlled. The City life is modern living concept and its population is the heart beat of the nation. We need to kick out the anti-city culture persons and get people who know and feel what a modern city does. If your internet connection does not work : These people are holding you back from progress and will never understand what a modern city is. If you electricity, water and medical are lacking : These people are holding you back from progress and will never understand what a modern city is. If your Bank and access to financial services are lacking : These people are holding you back from progress and will never understand what a modern city does. If your vehicle hit a massive pot hole and suffered damage : These people are holding you back from progress and will never understand what a modern city does. And the list goes on.... One day we will move to a 24 hours City Life i.e Nairobi never shuts down, how will those who cannot grasp the values make this happen?. This artist connected so well to the City culture, and knew what the lyrics will be : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMX1sc3eOTE&feature=related If you can connect to the artist, you can connect to the city culture.

Pesa-Point Scam or Just Incompetence
by Festus Njau 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hi All, For those thinking of withdrawing money from Pesa Point maybe you should consider changing your mind.... on Saturday i did an Mpesa withdrawal through Pesa-Point of Ksh 11,000 only to get a text showing the amount has been deducted from my MPESA account yet the ATM did not dispense, on calling their support line (0726853000) a lady by the name Grace was so quick to note that there was no error from their side.....but promised to check into details and get back in 20mins, this did not happen till i had to call twice after 4hrs......(Poor customer service), Been calling from morning and the matter has not been resolved the last excuse being "their system for reversal is down"... Pesa Point i need the transaction *BW71GA007* Reversed. -- Festus Njau + 254-770-151717
