Building A Library for M-Pesa 2G
by King'ori Maina 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

Hey Skunks, I’m considering working on a wrapper for the M-PESA 2nd generation platform <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/business/corporate/m-pesa-payments-services/m-pe…> (in my primary programming language) to have closer integration with Safaricom MPesa and also to possibly make it easier for others to integrate (read … abstract all the SOAP stuff). I’m willing to have it open sourced from the word go (even through development). Some people might find it useful. I’ve never dealt with Safaricom technically etc. … and just want to have a light consultation about what exactly I’m getting myself into. I’m not in Kenya but I have my Safaricom line roaming so can access MPesa (not sure that bit is really important but ...). Keeping that in mind, I have some questions: Are there any foreseeable obstacles that I should know about? Is there a development mode where I can build without spending any actual money and just get dummy responses? Is a low level explanation of the transaction process somewhere (not the API spec)? Ps: I’ve simply skimmed through the docs, pardon my naivety (if any). — King kingori.co <http://kingori.co/>

Home Theatres comparison
by Dennis Kioko 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

So, After more than 6 years of listening to music on my Creative SBS A300s and Logitec/Sennheiser earphones , I think I'm becoming deaf and therefore no longer in a position to appreciate the bass in the Creatives. I would like to replace them with a hometheatre that offers some great sound reproduction in the 50 Hz range upwards. However, I am surprised that most of what I am seeing here ( http://www.jumia.co.ke/home-theatre/) does not offer bluetooth pairing or even DNLA. I thought stuff in this age should even have a mobile app to control the damn thing? Are the Koreans and Japanese running out of steam? -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>

OT:Laptop stealing in Nairobi Buses
by Cynthia Wahome 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

Hello All Just thought i would highlight my plight.I had heard of this but i never thought it could happen to me. A few days ago i boarded a bus heading back to town from Mombasa road. I had my bag with my laptop inside. Everything was fine until the moment i received a phone call from my boss and we began talking.The conversation continued for quite some time. Little did i know that some two four guys(i assume they were four in total) i was seated at the window and two guys came and sat next to me. i didnt think much of it at the time. As we reached GPO one of them behind me dropped some coins and asked me to pick it up for him.I think that was when they opened the bag and got it.not really sure.On a serious note,i dont know how these guys were that good.. By the time i screamed..they had confronted me and i was down. What really pissed me off is Nairobians can see a lady on a bus being mugged and do nothing about it.They just watch. These thieves are very dangerous and they can get physical. Please be aware Regards Cynthia.
