Hi , Scenario 1: Platform: Solaris 10 App: Squid 2.6 Stable ver Problem: Achieving url redirect on proxy clients...i.e guy enters www.xxx.com, proxy receives request and redirects this to www.yyy.com.

*I'm behind in the news :(* .go.ke putting up a Tier-5 Datacentre
by Phares Kariuki 05 Aug '09

Hi, According to the PS yesterday, .go.ke is putting up a Tier 5 data center. Opps for local entrepreneurs? Supply of hardware (storage, servers, networking devices, A/C, etc). Additionally, work-flow software, virtualisation software, backup software etc? Guys can form some form of enterprise, there are a lot of low lying fruits with this project and even the scraps from the same are quite sizable... Guys can identify additional opportunities. -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki(a)gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares |

RingBacks - Personalized
by Clement Ongera 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Hello All, Now that we have support for ringbacks in almost all networks, and seeing the adverts on the roads("Your wife is not your plumber..."). Can anyone please tell me how I can advertise my business through the same? What I mean is that, can I have a ring back that says " I'm Omesa , a Plumber in Nairobi"? instead of having some boring song? How much will this cost? Have a good one! Regards, Clement Ongera
