I was surprised, mesmerized, then surprised, gave it a day - now I can contribute. I thought to an IT person this is kinda munching popcorn while watching a movie. Ok. Dennis, I can help with logistics as well as intern you in this small project and a larger scope as well. Deal? Lakini you take care of my welfare, education is expensive.

Re: [Skunkworks] iPhone 5S & iPhone 5c

I hate to say it but half the people who are so critical about Apple have an issue with just one this - price. Apple products are premium products and if you can't afford it, it wasn't meant for you so shouting loudest doesn't change that fact! I currently have a hTC one X and I adore it and at the same time look forward to getting the hTC one, but somehow, whenever Apple releases a new phone, I want that too. The hTC One is the best phone in the market right now (according to several reviews - google), but iPhones are still very much admirable, thats why I plan to have both. ./Ok3ch On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 10:34 AM, Steve Obbayi <steve(a)sobbayi.com> wrote: > To add on.

PHP Extensions on Common Hosting Options
by Samuel Waithaka 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hi guys, Looking for some experiences from PHP developers, have you ever felt limited by the conventional (ubiquitous...) hosting options available - say you did something on development only to discover that the extension you used is not supported on production? What was the process of requesting for the extension? And was it possible in the first place? -- Samuel Waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka
