@aki, i disagree, most of the adds in Kenyan prime time are not even made in Kenya. I believe we can change this, again stay tuned for Adobe After effects tutorials am working on. I will show you how this adds are made. And maya is an overkill, you only need Cinema 4D which is beginner friendly. ________________________________ From: aki <aki275(a)gmail.com> To: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Sent: Friday, 25 February 2011, 10:50 Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Money Matters And while we are at the discussion of next generation of kenyan graphics designers, please let us not compare animations written for BBC Kiddies programs , or adverts that use simple software like Maya to produce a liquid effect from a library and let us try to find Kenyan Graphics done for Prime Time viewership.

Wordpress releases Django, wait WTF?
by Dennis Kioko 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

As Kenyans continue to build their own CMS, Worpress has released version 3.1 and named it Django. The world meanwhile has decided to remain calm and not get confused by the naming. Wordpress has not confirmed whether a future release will be codenamed "Joomla" or "Drupal" -- with Regards: The Chinese are known to be entrepreneurs, and coupled with some imagination, are now playing the role of nature in food and beverage production. http://gramware.blogspot.com/2011/01/chinese-way-to-become-imaginative.html

Web hosting with sasahost.com
by Peter Karunyu 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Good people, A friend of mine wants to host a site and my process of elimination has yielded two contestants: eacdirectory.com and sasahost.com. So, i wanted to find out how good sasahost.com are in terms of reliability, responding to support requests and all those important things to look for in a webhost. I am leaning more towards sasahost.com coz they seem to give more for less, e.g. on eac i get 250MB disk space for KES 2320 but with KES 1500, i get 4GB on sasahost.com. Much thanks!
