This is just throwing a stone in the pond, but does anyone here have any idea where to get online job listings for Kenya (or Africa)? Is there a site that has an up to date aggregation of this? What do you use? Regards, Mek.

For those who have a greater ambition in 2014.. AR9331 is a electronics prototyping platform that allows you to quickly build interactivity into your projects. This microcontroller system allows you to connect different kinds of inputs (such as light sensors, motion sensors, sound sensors, humidity sensors, etc.) and write programs to process those signals to control devices that are hooked up to output pins (such as motors, buzzers, lights, solenoids, computers, etc.) [image: Inline images 1]
