IE9 - #FAIL
by Kago Kagichiri 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

I was going to praise IE9 - Awesome design - Allows you to pin websites (tabs) to the taskbar - Very very fast and sleek So I came to write a nice post to the Skunkworks forum... and for about 5 times it HANGED! So I present to you another failed Microsoft venture. IE9. I hope they get it right next time. I was willing to change from the Mozillotony. -- K. K.

<OT>seeking a Lava Lamp</OT>
by Peter Karunyu 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Skunkspeople, I kindly request someone who might know where to acquire a lava lamp<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava_lamp>to point me in the right direction. I have checked with house of leather at NHC House, they are out of stock. I've checked The Mall and Sarit in westie still no luck. I saw one at Capital center, damn thing costing 4k, only to go back there and to not find it again. It is said that this lamp tends to increase the productivity of a programmer staring at it tenfold, and ati that's why they are so prevalent at Google engineering offices... :-)

Hi Skunkers and Skunkettes, Please avail your comments on the website http://www.berriesent.com It's a fashion and beauty website (and not done in Joomla) geared at raising Kenya's name out of the bottom of Africa's looks list. We were listed as the ugliest Africans in 2010. [?] I'm about to do version 2 to include an eCommerce section for fashion so before I upload that thought I'd find out what Skunkworks has to say about the speed and javascripts and all. All and any comments are welcome. Regards, Kago Kagichiri Website Developer [e] core(a)miliqi.net [c] +254722833440 -- "An unfair challenge is the greatest weakness a programmer can have." -- K. K.

Whining aside, the pay should be per machine. Who knows how many machines the intern will format in that one day? Be the employer you want yours to be.

Re: [Skunkworks] Cisco decides to Kill Flip
by jgitau＠gmail.com 13 Apr '11

It depends, and yes Kodak had better be dancing, also note cisco didn't even bother selling that BU, they closed it.... Cisco has been making huge changes, quietly: here's a few (follow the links): 1: they dropped HP as a partner last year: http://blogs.cisco.com/channels/ciscos_evolving_partner_landscape/ 2: John Chambers memo to staff 'leaked'. April 5, 2011. This outlines bold changes in how they do their business, where they'll focus etc etc, a bit late with some changes but still quite bold in accepting their mistakes and working towards a fix. http://blogs.cisco.com/news/message-from-john-chambers-where-cisco-is-takin… 3: the flip: come on that was not to last. I expect the Cius tablet to go down the same road, the flip lost money!!!, heckphones are taking HD video and sharing it realtime so i doubt even Kodak are any happier, flip couldn't cope cisco were out of their depth and they knew it (the flip had no networking capability,cisco is a networking company:-)), the Cius tablet cant beat the Ipad, samsung galaxy either. They should drop it now. It's like mercedes deciding to roll out umm a car for the 'masses' lets call it a toyota,then over price it. I expect the fancy site with a flashy front to go too, we (techies) expect a clear,clean documentation site like we were used to, cisco had a core business, they are losing it to Huawei and other vendors while chasing what, tablets?,really unsopportable support models? they should be powering the networks tablets are running on!! I am happy with the new focus on their core business and customers...so far... 4: the last change that also came late but still a good thing is this: For a long time, you either had to get the actual cisco routers/switches etc to learn their cli/OS or grab the IOS from somewhere and run dynamips/dynagen. However Internally cisco had the capability to run Ios On Unix (IOU) mainly solaris. As we move along, cisco now has legacy IOS, IOS-XR, ASA and NX-OS, getting those on emulators for testing/benchmarking won't be easy for all of us and I can imagine getting certified will become a bit harder, which means at some point cisco will suffer (HP,juniper et all are not any better either)...Well cisco finally released the IOU as its popularly known to their learning partners, heck if you search for it online you'll get it somewhere...it's what they use for the ccie (R&S)troubleshooting lab. http://www.cisco.com/web/go/learninglabs/index.html https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/blogs/vip-perspectives/2011/04/12/cisco-i… JGitau On Apr 13, 2011 9:30pm, David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd <kianiadee(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Cisco has decided to end the life of the flip video in a cost cutting > measure. > http://www.macworld.com/article/159195/2011/04/flip_is_dead.html > Based on existing review that isn't sounding like a very good decision > with opposition coming from CNN I reporters and video bloggers.
