Fwd: Northern Lights Short Film
by Martin Akolo Chiteri 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hello folks, Please have a look at the request below from a friend. Let me know if you are interested. You can shoot any questions to Brian (copied) for further clarifications. He will be glad to help. CHEERS! Martin. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian Suda <brian.suda(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Nov 7, 2014 at 6:58 PM Subject: Northern Lights Short Film To: Martin Akolo Chiteri <martin.chiteri(a)gmail.com> I wanted to connect with you on a completely random project. The folks I share an office space with have made a short film (27 minutes) about the Northern Lights. They are planning to release it on DVD soon and as part of the promotion, they want to have a few pre-screenings around the world and record people's reactions to the film within the next two weeks. Then they will compile all the reactions into a small trailer. Here is their current trailer: https://vimeo.com/97663163 I am emailing to see if you or someone you know wanted to show it at the start-up incubator or elsewhere? Ideally it would be a room with a projector and then someone would record a few over the shoulder shots of the crowd and maybe some facial reactions. In return, you can see the short film before anyone and we can send you a DVD for your efforts when it's ready. Let me know if you can help and we can send you a link with a password to a private online address to show at the screening.

Hello, I am looking for a Wifi hotspot dongle to use in Nakuru, Mombasa, Nairobi and Mombasa. What is the best I can get out there and please DON'T mention anything with an Orange in it. It should support 6 or above gadgets which is a concoction of laptops, mobile phones and tablets and I must say at good speeds. Regards, Stephen M: 0722238165 or 0771557857 T: @uwanja

Failed Keys on Laptop: Replacing Keyboard
by Samuel Waithaka 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hello people, A while ago I noticed several keys on my HP EliteBook suddenly stopped working. Keys like =,right shift,left and right arrows don't work at all. I tried removing one and cleaning but nothing. An external keyboard is working. After searching, it seems my alternative is to replace the keyboard. Has anyone replaced a keyboard, or know people who do? Roughly how much would it cost? -- Samuel Waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka
