Kenyans for Kenya Thermometer App
by Timothy Mutugi 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Dear Skunks & Skunkettes, ...I was thinking, perhaps it would be possible for one of you coders to write an app that displays a real-time "thermometer" indicating the contributions that have been made thus far to the Kenyans for Kenya kitty. ...There is usually a psychological effect that makes people want to contribute more if they can see how much has been contributed so far...a "thermometer" can easily serve this purpose...perhaps this could work better on the M-PESA contributions rather than the KCB account contributions... The thermometer app can then be displayed in short intervals on TV e.g. KTN and this would be an opportunity for Safaricom/Redcross/Standard Group to also place an advert accompanying the thermometer. This way any revenue to KTN from the advert could be added to the kitty... Is it possible? Timo.

Beats by DR Dre Headphones
by Kevin Omondi 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Skunks, I made a very interesting observation the other day. A friend of mine gave me a set of beats headphones to test for him. What I was shocked about was that my Chinese headphones I bought from jamia mall sounded better that the beats headphones. Could it be they were fake ..but cant be because he ordered them from Amazon, for 400 USD ? Still puzzled. Are those things just hype. Regards Kevin Omondi

Website up for grabs and review
by John Doe Smith Kamau KipNg'etich Jones 01 Aug '11

Hi Skunkies, http://acrag.skylurktestsite.com/ ... built the above site a while back, but unfortunately, my client suddenly lost interest in owning a website soon after i finished it. It uses a CMS I built from scratch early this year. I'm a 2nd year comp-science dood at KU, and at the time, implementing an equivalent of Joomla (only faster and leaner) in a few-months-time looked achievable, lol... I've grown up since, and i now call it an experiment/project... and despite its grave need for a redesign & re-implementation, the CMS kinda works OK ;-D Anyways, its up for sale, as it is, from 10k [bei ya campo :-)]. I guess its suitable for some NGO, or small-medium-ish businesses... or even the occassional briefcase company (could make the outfit appear more credible) ... or just about any entity that doesn't need an overly interactive site. You could even get it for you're girlfriend! ... score points by claiming u coded the whole thing over a tea break. i know most of u geeks use jargon in you're foreplay, lol, hehehehe ... or its just me who does that o_O ?? .... moving on... part of the proceeds of the purchase will be donated to the kenyans-for-kenya thing. Scout's honour on that ;-) . ... once purchased, expect it to be up on ur domain of choice in no time (note that "no-time" in kenya is subject to delays from traffic jams and power rationing). Its a php site (in case some of you who go to iHub dint notice), so don't drop me a windows-hosted domain like a client once did to me, lol ... so, niaje skunkie... why not "promote" and support this upcoming script-kiddie ;-) .... and if you're not buying, i'd appreciate you're review/critism if u wanna tinker with it, feel free to go to http://acrag.skylurktestsite.com/index.php/admin with "admin" for both the username & password. btw, If u make sense of how to use it, congratulations! u have an IQ in excess of 200!! in fact, contact me for an official "200+ IQ" certificate for only 4999.89!!

Now suppose I have the following rows: mumbai 2011-07-29 5000 3000 1 mumbai 2011-07-29 4000 3000 2 delhi 2011-07-29 5000 3000 3 delhi 2011-07-29 7000 3000 4 Now I want to display the following results: mumbai 2011-07-29 4000 3000 2 delhi 2011-07-29 7000 3000 4 Please help me to sort out my problem. I have tried the following query but I'm clueless: SELECT * FROM BANK_POSN INNER JOIN (SELECT MAX(IDNT), BRANCH, DT, HDFC, AXIS, ICICI, BOB, PNB, FEDEBNK, IOB, CENTRALBNK, TOT FROM BANK_POSN GROUP BY BRANCH) T ON BP.BRANCH = T.BRANCH AND BP.IDNT = T.IDNT ORDER BY BP.IDNT
