The NaiLab - a different take on support for web and mobile startups - http://bit.ly/lz6r1r
by Mbugua Njihia 12 May '11

12 May '11

Everyone seems to be working at a startup these days with access to the internet having grown and idea generation being a non exclusive domain. The challenges of growing a business continue to see many of these startups drop by the wayside as the key fundamentals to scale these businesses remain elusive to the techprenuers that constitute the current web and mobile startup scene. http://bit.ly/lz6r1r

Problems Windows SBS 2003 to Windows SBS 2008
by Daudi Were 11 May '11

11 May '11

Good afternoon Skunks, Some friends are experiencing some issues after migrating from Windows SBS 2003 to Windows SBS 2008. Not being a Windows guys I thought I'd ask here. The exchange Mailboxes were created but the ails did not transfers to the new server. The AD and DNS services apparently are running. PC’s can be joined to the domain on the new server [SBS 2008] and users can also log on. However there seems to be no connection to the Exchange Mailboxes and as a result of having both servers running with active directory, the Windows 2003 server keeps being triggered to shut down by the presence of the SBS 2008 server. If you have any ideas and any experience in this kind of thing please let me know! Thanks D -- Ni Wakati! Pamoja!

This annual prize – the first of its kind for youth in Africa – seeks to celebrate young innovators, ages 15 to 20, who have developed and implemented innovative solutions to challenges facing their communities. African Leadership Academy will collaborate with its vast network of schools, youth organisations and other partners across Africa to help identify young leaders whose passion for Africa drives them to design and develop innovative projects that transform their communities and the continent. “The Anzisha Prize celebrates the innovation and entrepreneurship of outstanding young men and women in Africa,” said *Reeta Roy*, President and CEO of The MasterCard Foundation. “*African Leadership Academy is inspiring youth across Africa to use their ideas to become leaders of positive change, and The MasterCard Foundation is proud to be a partner in this important initiative.*” “We will comb Africa in search of young people ages 15 to 20 who are creating value and addressing pain points in their communities by launching innovative for-profit and non-profit ventures. We will publicly celebrate the winners, giving away over $70,000 dollars in Prize money and broadcasting their stories across Africa and around the world,” said *Chris Bradford*, Founder and Executive Vice President of African Leadership Academy. “*By sharing the stories of these incredible role models with other African youth, we hope to ignite their passions and inspire their confidence to follow in the footsteps of their fellow leaders and entrepreneurs.*” Anzisha Prize applications are available online at www.anzishaprize.org and may be submitted by young leaders across North, South, East, West, and Central Africa. The Anzisha Prize will celebrate young entrepreneurs in the private and social sectors – both for-profit efforts that generate employment for other members of the community, and non-profit efforts that address entrenched social problems in the community. Applicants will be evaluated on the impact, ingenuity, and scalability of their entrepreneurial efforts. The Anzisha Prize is managed out of African Leadership Academy’s Entrepreneurship Center, which was established through a $1.6 million multi-year partnership with The MasterCard Foundation. Through the Entrepreneurship Center, African Leadership Academy and The MasterCard Foundation seek to catalyse innovation and entrepreneurship among young people across the continent. The Entrepreneurship Center will further develop and share Africa Leadership Academy’s entrepreneurship curriculum with organizations across the continent, and will promote entrepreneurial leadership across Africa with initiatives like the Anzisha Prize. “*The Anzisha Prize will have widespread impact on Africa by encouraging a new generation of entrepreneurial* *leaders across the continent,” added Bradford. “We are thrilled to have the support of The MasterCard Foundation – one of the most innovative philanthropic organizations working in Africa today – in delivering this crucial initiative.*” *How to Apply* African Leadership Academy and The MasterCard Foundation invite youth organisations, schools and individuals to nominate talented and innovative African youth to apply for The Anzisha Prize. Candidates should describe a project of their initiation that offers a new and better approach to a pressing problem in their community. Application forms can be downloaded online at www.anzishaprize.org. *What is awarded?* Eight finalists from across Africa will win an all-expenses paid trip to South Africa to be part of a week-long entrepreneurship workshop at the African Leadership Academy campus on the outskirts of Johannesburg. The grand prize winners, selected from these finalists, will share prizes worth $70,000 USD, which they may use to take their projects to new heights. *What is the criteria?* Applicants must be aged between 15 and 20 years old. Each applicant will be judged on the following: * *Impact*: applicant’s efforts have a demonstrated, measurable and positive outcome. * *Ingenuity*: applicant takes a new and better approach to a pressing problem in his or her community. * *Scalability*: applicant’s solution has the potential to be replicated in communities facing similar challenges. * When can I enter?* As soon as possible! The closing date for the competition is May 31, 2011 but early submissions are highly encouraged. *Questions?* For more information, visit www.anzishaprize.org ;email – prize(a)anzishaprize.org; call +27 11 699 3000, or SMS +27 79 979 1361. *** *About African Leadership Academy* African Leadership Academy (ALA) seeks to transform Africa by developing a powerful network of entrepreneurial leaders who will work together to achieve extraordinary social impact. Each year, ALA brings together the most promising young leaders from all 54 African nations for a pre-university program in South Africa with a focus on leadership, entrepreneurship and African studies. ALA continues to cultivate these leaders throughout their lives, in university and beyond, by providing ongoing leadership and entrepreneurial training and connecting them to high-impact networks of people and capital that can catalyze large-scale change.

EQUITY'S MKESHO EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL HITCHES ON THIS SUNDAY
by Emmanuel Ochieng 10 May '11

10 May '11

Greetings people, Mkesho is a great product thro the partnership of the two great firms. Unfortunately there seem to be techical hitches that usually occur unexpectedly. Today I needed 2 send cash urgently to somebody and since I had travelled to one of the EA countries, I opted 2 withdraw cash from my Mkesho Acc n send it directly 2 that person's Mpesa Acc. Unfortunately I only received an sms 10 hrs later confirming that my Acc has been debited yet no cash credited on my Mpesa Acc. From my observation on several occasions, the issue seems to be occuring at the point of sending the transaction details to Mpesa for crediting the Mpesa mobile Acc. This is because my Acc is usually debited yet it fails at the instance of crediting the Mpesa Acc. Kind Regards, Emmaneul.

cctv camera quotation
by [ Brainiac ] 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hello skunks: A client , with a godown 60ft by 30ft , all open (an engineering workshop) needs a cctv surveillance system where he can hide in his office and watch his kenyan engineering apprentices for "side jobs" that drain his incomes and electricity bill. His needs are simple, a bit of zoom, recording onto a computer (or drive depending) running linux. thats all, no fancy wifi, no bluetooth, no infra red... If you do this kind of stuff drop me an email with a rough estimate. ps: Wires will have to fly high in the roof cause down on the ground is concrete , pounding and cutting that would result in "accidental" disconnection of his equipment. -- *“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

Linux Vulnerability or What Went Wrong?
by Samuel Waithaka 09 May '11

09 May '11

I've used Ubuntu Linux for a while now, virus free as per the reputation. However, something strange happened; while working I realize that PHP and HTML files have been altered, with a new 'iframe' html tag with a malicious site as the src. ALL the files in the public directory. I experienced this in windows long time ago; it's a fujack. On the other hand: settling in a new office and the internet service is yet to conclude their work. The place has several wireless networks. I tried to explore with a free one; and I'm beggining to realize that doing this was probably suicide. What could have happened to the maverick? It was really humiliating... -- Samuel Waithaka http://www.linkedin.com/in/waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka
