Sales and Marketing Bootcamp? Where?
by Timothy Mutugi 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Dear Skunks, Skunkettes, Skunklings (and fellow n00bs), Could someone please tell me of any institution that offers a short Sales & Marketing Course Pap! I am thinking of more like a boot camp to enable someone to appreciate the basic fundamentals of sales and marketing. I realised that I need to grasp these marketing things but I lack the time to sit in a class for several months because my time is occupied elsewhere... I believe this would also help some coders on this list who have developed some lovely apps but are held back kidogo due to lack of some basic marketing skills... I guess it is only fair that you post your suggestions on the list...it will benefit others in the same predicament. Timo.

CodeIgniter Gurus
by Peter Karunyu 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Good people, I am seeking to know skunks out there who are above average good in CI (or average or below average or whichever average :-) Reason being, another skunk and I who are head over heels in love with it think it wise to establish a local network of CI Gurus, for the purposes of consulting and occasional sharing of work (and associated benefits). Anyone? Offlist or onlist all ok.

Re: [Skunkworks] Zuku support contact
by Josh Handley 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Now I feel bad for having starting all this criticism of Zuku. Besides this one outage it has been quite good. Once in a while the internet goes down for an hour or two but I have yet to find a consumer level ISP in Africa or the US that doesn't have brief outages like that. The speed of the 8mpbs connection is pretty good considering that it is shared. I usually get close to 1mpbs at peak times and have hit 7mpbs at odd hours when no one else is online. They do need to fix their automated phone system and make sure you can get to a live person without the help of skunkworks but I would still recommend the service to my friends. Josh
