by Andrew Ouko 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

I for one would like to know who on this list is a mobile app developer (is there a directory of Kenyan mobile developers I don't know about?) If you are, post your details and skill set here. If you'd rather not, contact me off list - a friend of mine is looking for someone to work with on a project of hers. Andrew

Hi all, Has anyone actually used the safaricom HSPA modem with any Ubuntu distro successfully? I have a laptop which i installed Ubuntu 9.10 but i was unable to use the modem. Although Huawei say they have support for Linux, the details are scanty (or they are in Chinese..?...), i dont understand the instructions there....

Its a Friday, so .. The unix timestamp of 1300000000 seconds since the epoch had an eery repitition of 13's in its real datetime form : mysql> select from_unixtime(1300000000) mysql> 2011-3-13 13:06.666 PS : I wonder how they settled on 1-jan-1970 as "The epoch" ?

Running a linux server on Mac
by [Brainiac] 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

Hello skunks, A client has asked me to set up a server for some specific tasks. My poison will be Debian, Postgres and a host of very un - steve jobs applications. (Including openbravo ERP). I seek from the experts here the demerits of saying.. ok, we can use one of your existing machines as the server (In this case a Mac OS desktop). I know it is technically possible to run linux on these machines, is it foolish to try? or should i just stick to good ole HP servers... Cheers. *“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy”* ~ Alex Carey ~ Tel No: 0x2af23696
