Yahoo Mail Problems
by Odhiambo Washington 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Hello TeamX, I am having a strange problem with Yahoo - that part of my network cannot load Yahoo Mail. My network layout is as follows: Bush_Location <C1811>--Netscreen--<Wi-Fi link>--Netscreen--<C1811> ---- <C850>-- Internet | | LAN0 LAN1 Bush_Location has a point to point link to LAN1, which is where I have the Internet breakout point. Users at LAN0 are unable to load mail.yahoo.com. It takes ages to load. Yahoo.com front page and all other links work fine. Only the mail part is giving problems. Gmail works fine too. Users at LAN1 have no problems at all. I am wondering what it is that could be affecting Yahoo mail only. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

For the skunkwedevelopers who care about global warming, greenhouse gases, carbon footprint, the heating oceans, the increasingly stronger solar flares, the speeding up of the universe.... Came across this jQuery library <http://www.onlineleaf.com/> which overlays a blank, black image over the viewport, thus saving some tiny amount of power.

Porting to Safaricom?
by Peter Osotsi 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Skunkers; I understand people are porting to Safaricom all their numbers (YU, Orange and Airtel), surely, at this rate, the other providers will just close shop. Can someone go to court stop this? The dormant player is just about to get very dominant. Peter ------ Don't wait for success; hunt it down like there's no tomorrow.

RECOMMEND A BANK ACCOUNT THAT IS NOT FULL OF CRAP.
by Dave Kirirah 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

I hated my bank instantly when sm1 made an ATM withdrawal from my account and after reporting all they could provide is date, time and place of withdrawal and would allow me to view footage of there ATM without complecating my life , go to manager, go to police, go to matatu... Anyway i later found out it was my Ex girlfriend and I beat her ass to death...[?] So anyone knows a good bank with no monthly charges ... Enough ATM's, Cues not longer than those on a "Kichwa Bila Mwili" at the ASK show ground" and maybe no minimum balance, or even better they can give me a Credit Card without needing me to earn more than 30K. Other than that i just want a bank that wants to show off its technology...by catching thieves who steal from my account.... You're experience and recommendations will be greatly valued...
