Is facebook increasing the ads section or a css error?
by Mickey Mickey 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Did facebook change something ???? there is a big gap between the ads and the chat/stream section and home area looks very squeezed. hope it is a css error. I doubt, I guess the ads are becoming important than the comments you post. see screenshot attached Best Regards, Michael Akunga.

Directory of Techies?
by Peter Karunyu 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Dear people, I just had a scenario flash before me and I didn't have a sufficient answer... thought I might ask for help here. Suppose you, as a techie, was asked by someone pretty high in a certain pecking order important to you, to give a list of other techies who are uber qualified to perform certain techie tasks, and (here is the caveat) if you can guarantee 99.99% that these techies you refer can kick ass in whichever field the specialize in, then money would not be a problem. Where would you get this list? I am talking broadly here; programmers (in just about any language you can think of), database peeps, network gurus, linux ninjas, project managers etc.

Re: [Skunkworks] Orange Internet Issue

Not had much luck with DNS servers, Orange seems to override DNS settings with their own. -----Original Message----- From: "geoffrey gitagia" <ggitagia(a)gmail.com> Sent: ‎4/‎7/‎2014 6:19 To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Orange Internet Issue I suspected dns so i added a public dns to their connection, worked for the sites i was having issues with but there was a problem with speeds, just check how long it takes when you click link before it loads dns servers should be very fast.

The very main reason is cost cutting. The idea is to keep a few engineers in the network and raise only serious issues to Vendors. The problem with this is that - sometimes, the engineers kept in the network are 'token' engineers who cannot or do-not solve issues forward to them. They are mostly there to raise emails to Vendors rather than solving the issues themselves. Sometimes the Telcos get good engineers who can actually solve the issues - but are unable to keep these because they are expensive. Back to the thread at hand - when you call Orange Customer care with your issue - most of the time you hang up with disappointed amazement. _______________________________________________ skunkworks mailing list skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke ------------ List info, subscribe/unsubscribe http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke _______________________________________________ skunkworks mailing list skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke ------------ List info, subscribe/unsubscribe http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke

Recently used Google translate and it more than delivered. Dunno what framework your working with but I'm sure you can figure it out.

My question is, instead of creating 2 forms, is it possible just to create one form in English and have it translated in swahili automatically by google? is there such a thing? Thanks

Orange Internet Issue
by Alex Ngatia 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hey skunks, Anyone using Orange 3G noticed for the last few weeks they're not able to access bit.ly links? It only works when you go through HTTPS. I've tried to tell them what the issue is but they ask if my internet is working - to which the answer is yes but no. What could be causing such an issue on their side? Links work on other networks.
