A few hackers were not happy about the PBS - a news site- view of Wikileaks and Bradley Manning. As a result, they made the news site "discover" Tupac living happily in New Zealand .... http://blogs.forbes.com/parmyolson/2011/05/30/thousands-like-fake-tupac-sto… -- with Regards: <https://twitter.com/#%21/denniskioko> <http://blog.denniskioko.com> www.denniskioko.com

Airtel SMS Service sux!
by Odhiambo Washington 30 May '11

30 May '11

Of late, with Airtel, either 1. my sms does not get delivered to the recipient, OR 2. if it gets delivered, I do not get the delivery report My phone is configured to receive the delivery reports. I seem to get delivery reports 1% of the time. 99% I do not. When I check the status of the messages in the "Reports" folder, almost all are marked as "Pending". I believe there are engineers from Airtel reading this. The affected number is the one in my signature text below. Anyone else seeing the same symptoms and willing to help me out?? It's very important for me to get the two issues resolved, because I have resorted to calling the recipient, as a followup just to confirm they received my text, which is an extra expense (unless Airtel has it this way by design!). Calling Airtel Customer Care is even more irritating, as the chaps there do not appear competent enough to address any problems. They take you round, you get pissed off, then they say they'll forward your problem to "IT" and you should be called after 48hrs. Unfortunately, that marks the end of any communication from Airtel, as no one from their side ever gets to follow up on the problem you reported. I am not subscribed to any of their funny services apart from the "Preferred Numbers" and my line is a corporate line. PS: I have submitted a complaint to CCK as well via their complaints web link, because not it seems it's one of those cases of "naomba serikali iitusaidie". -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

Freelance Job Costing
by JOmoro 30 May '11

30 May '11

I am a motion designer who also does web design work. Though currently in full employment I like to pick up side jobs. Costing has been a major challenge and was wondering if there are any freelance (web or motion designers) who could tell what the average rate is in the market. Web Design:__? Motion Design:__? I know there are those who do websites for 3,000/= but just want to know on average what one would charge for either of these jobs. I hope the response will help other freelancers out there and help this industry grow professionally. -- Jansen Omoro http://jomoro.carbonmade.com/
