MPesa Menu
by Moses M.G 01 Feb '14

Good People, I have had a very 'interesting' occurrence. My Safaricom and MPesa menu is gone...vanished! I have checked everywhere even on the phone settings because I thought the menu might have moved, but it is nowhere! Brief history of the problem. 1.0 I had switched to a SIM card from a different service provider for about 2 weeks. 2.0 Upgraded my phone to Android 4.2.2 What I have done so far. 1.0 Restarted the phone several times. 3.0 Put my SIM card on another phone - it works perfectly! Anyone else with the same problem?

Mobile App Development ideas and Quote
by Patrick Mathenge 31 Jan '14

Hi Listers, Am looking to a proposal for a mobile application to my director. The app is to be similar to Bio-best side effects App available here --> https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/biobest-sideeffects/id497917349?mt=8. Basically the app is to be downloadable to a smart phone and used to check for info on products compatibility. A user could search for info either through Product Trade Name or through product Active Ingredients( AI) and a product could have one or several AIs. Trade names are around a thousand or so. The app then returns the effect of the searched product on some 5-6 specified products say X, Y and A.. Eg searched Product X kills >75% Y, 50-75%Z, <25% A . blahblah.. Before I go ahead to reinvent the wheel, has anyone done a similar app before? And what would be your rough quotes for such an app? Patrick Sent from my BlackBerry®

SEND CV's TO: kipmasi(a)gmail.com Telemathix Ltd. is a start-up in westlands that focuses on building mobile apps, web apps, web APIs, sms-based solutions and mobile-money based solutions. They've built a number of great apps, and unique to their portfolio is an sms/ussd driven m-shwari like app, and an m-pesa API (a REST based API that's much easier to use than the SOAP interface safcom provides) They will soon have two vacancies for a software developer position. They would like someone familiar with PHP (especially the OOP aspects of PHP) or Java. Familiarity with server-side frameworks (for instance kohana, yii, codeigniter etc) is a major plus. Additionally, general web front-end skills such as familiarity with jQuery, angularJS or backbone would be a great plus too. Experience with android programming would be awesome too. You do not need to have a grasp on all of the above, and knowing a sub-set of the above skills will get you Telemathix's attention. Depending on your skill set and general amazingness, salaries will range between 25k and 40k (or a bit higher than that if you are quite impressive) SEND CV's TO: kipmasi(a)gmail.com
