OpenStack in Africa
by Adam Nelson 20 May '13

If anybody is interested in OpenStack, I've created a new community with an Africa focus: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/106463180296945913906 I'd love to get people in the group and interested in the technology and setting up all sorts of clouds in their data centers. I personally believe this is also a good skill-set for forward thinking tech people. If you disagree, just join the community and hopefully we can convince you otherwise :-) Cheers, Adam --- OpenStack for Africa: http://signup.kili.io Musings: https://twitter.com/varud About Adam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson

The progress of FPGAs! Back in 85', Nintendo unveils Super Mario Bro's, run by conventional computing HW. Same year, FPGAs were sort of born with one of the first patents being issued for FPGA technology. 27 years later.... An FPGA plays the same tittle like a human would do. LIKE A BOSS!!!! The amazing feat:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVKlyUY9M6Y Read more :- http://www.nintendoninja.com/ _______________________________________________ *“Java is to JavaScript what Car is to Carpet.”* _______________________________________________ * *

Outlook Issues
by Muthoni Njuguna 17 May '13

17 May '13

Dear Skunks I am having an issue with a particular account. Its bizarre. It's set up correctly, with the correct POP3 ans SMTP servers settings. Tests are successful. This account can receive mails. When sending emails, they clear out of the outbox and move to the sent items folder, which means they are sent. BUT, the recipients don't receive them. I have tried setting up on another machine, uninstalling the antivirus, changing from 2007 to 2013, still nothing is happening. We use network solutions. When you try to send from network solutions webmail, the recipients, receive the mails. What could be wrong? I am completely at a loss. -- *Kind Regards* *Muthoni Njuguna*
