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

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.
