Document Classification Application
by Peter Mugoh 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Skunks, Is there any local vendor for the above application? This should be able to tag documents and classify them so that one can only be able to access and also send (via email) what is authorised. This should be compatible with Microsoft Office Documents and Outlook. Any feedback will be appreciated. An example of such an application is TITUS <http://www.titus.com/> This is good but costs a whooping $30k. Thanks and regards, Peter Mugoh

Peer review: Linux server setup checklist
by Peter Karunyu 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Dear members, Every so often I get asked to setup a Linux server on some cloud provider, usually a LAMP stack, so normally I create one server to run Apache and PHP, and another server to run MySQL only. I am NOT a sys admin. So I picked up the TODO list below from the interwebs. Could someone please tell me if the items below are okay, or if there is anything new i should be doing, or not doing; for a simple, medium security, medium performance web or database server. Thanks in advance! https://gist.github.com/pkarunyu/da5e7d5d4062c70b6668

Bold startups rethinking energy supply, distribution and storage
by Mbugua Njihia 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Energy and not money makes the world go round, powering twenty four hour economies and lifestyles. It is widely acknowledged that the world is in need of more energy but tempered with the realization that reliance and continued exploitation of fossil fuel sources, major contributors of greenhouse gases is not sustainable long term. Solar and wind have been seen as the saving grace. The sun being a natural nuclear fusion reactor that gives freely of its energy and strong winds being plentiful in numerous places such as locally in Turkana where The Lake Turkana Wind Power Project aims to provide 300MW of reliable, low cost power to the national grid.

Our preference would be to have the person located in Nairobi or Abuja/Lagos, but we don’t (yet, anyway) have offices there, and if we hired someone in a country where we don’t have an office, they couldn’t be full-time employees because we have no legal entity there yet to employ them.

Windows Phone 10
by Arthur Buliva 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

Am looking at changing ecosystems from Android to Windows. I have used Androids for a while and they get the job done. I also have an Android tablet which really doesn't give me any added advantage than a big screen phone, in my opinion. I'd rather go for a Surface. I have not used WP before therefore I am a newbie in that aspect. Now, this is not meant to start a fanboy war, but what I would like to know from anyone experienced in both ecosystems, what's your preference and why. I am not a gamer, in fact games are the first to get uninstalled in my phones. Notes, email, calendars, occasionally skype or whatsapp are my primary uses. Talk to me
