OT - CITY COUNCIL OF NAIROBI WEBSITE
by Ken Teyie 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

The City Council of Nairobi or the Town Clerk must be a sleeping lot. Their 'official' site http://www.nairobicity.org still recognizes Dick Wathika as the Mayor and John Gakuo as the town clerk. Or do they have another site? Which one is it? Anyone knows? -- KT, M: +254 722 28 98 04 www.mondeas.com “When you are busy making excuses, you are not making money, making friends, or making the world a better place. Every loser out there has an excuse as to why they’re not a winner – but at the end of the day, they’re still a loser with an excuse.” -Tana Goertz

How Im now getting hulu and netflix in Kenya
by Kevin Omondi 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Skunks I wish to share this process how I now get US TV on my TV at home. First I got subscribed to hotspot shield lite package ( costs about 4.99 USD per month) The package includes 3 devices. Next I set my ipad to the US app store ( using I and M card) and using a US based address. I downloaded Hulu Plus and Netflix on ipad. I subscribed online for the packages ( Impressively the prepaid I and M card being accepted) Next I stream from my Ipad to apple TV ( works with my unlimited Orange modem that have hooked up to a wifi router) and this have connected to my TV via HDMI. ( Apple TV is about 11k at Diamond plaza) I think it will work with the Chromecast from my Android device. Works perfect ( though sometimes Netflix degrades depending on connection but it never buffers) So in essence I get all this for 1600 kshs a month ( Netflix 8 USD and Hulu Plus 7.99 USD) I also want to get Sky Go app for EPL and just switch the VPN to UK or BBC Iplayer and will be able to watch Live EPL on IPAD. Next question I'm now asking is why I need Zuku Satellite ? Thanks Kevin

Kenya Power Prepaid units
by Mark Mwangi 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hey all, I am rather confused by the rates used by Kenya Power for issuing power units. 2000 /- does not get you a consistent no. of units yet the exchange rate is rather stable. Just this morning 2,000 bob got me 117 units which lasts about 12 days at 10 units a day. How much do listers get? Is it consistent? I also think they have zones with Westlands paying way more than Eastlands. -- Regards, Mark Mwangi markmwangi.me.ke
