Just a tip for androiders Ever wanted to lock ur phone to, say 3g but the option is not there in Wireless and Networks? For instance to take advantage of the current 2bob a minute offer from Safcom/ type #*#*4636*#*# from the dialer. It will take u to Testing screen. Select Phone Information then select Set Preferred Network Type Select WCDMA only. For this and more secret codes go to http://www.askvg.com/google-android-hidden-secret-codes/

Speakers for BitMagic, This Saturday @ iHub @ 2pm
by wesley kirinya 18 May '11

Hi Skunk(ette)s, Below are the speakers for the upcoming BitMagic: Michael Pedersen MpesaPi. Open source API for Mpesa commercial accounts. Abstract: If you want to integrate Mpesa with your system (i.e. e-commerce) today, you have to sign up with one of the payment-aggregators, and pay all the way up to 3.5% of the transaction in fees. If you only need Mpesa integration and not the full "aggregating", it is very limited what extra service you are receiving for those 3.5% - you are already paying Safaricom for the transaction, that should be enough. Using MpesaPI, it is possible for any developer to integrate directly with Safaricom, and thereby removing the need to utilize a "middleman" (aggregator), without having to spend time on developing infrastructure/API himself, hereby greatly reducing the cost of creating online commerce solutions in Kenya. In this talk I will present the system design behind the API, as well as a give a short introduction to the actual code. Dale Zak An iPhone App developer from Ushahidi. (Topic to be announced) Richard (Topic to be announced) I would like to thank them for volunteering their time and knowledge! 8~)

Safaricom Results Live
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 18 May '11

18 May '11

I have heard this time from a very liable and stable source that Safaricom (@SafaricomLtd) will have live tweets from the venue where they will announce their annual results. It's very interesting because this means we don't have to depend on media for the numbers and initial number crunching. I hope other companies follow suit, in so doing they take control of their own message and what they want to communicate. Well Done Safaricom (Yes it's me and No am not a hostage) Kiania D. -- [Asentric Consulting Ltd] "The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war." - Navy SEAL INSTRUCTOR
