Fw: A Gathering for Curious Minds - Free, Saturday 16th January 2010, 10am (for 10.30)-12noon, Silverbird Theater, Westgate Mall, Nairobi

FYA ----- Original Message ----- From: Farida Sher To: undisclosed recipients: Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 2:10 PM Subject: Fw: A Gathering for Curious Minds - Free, Saturday 16th January 2010, 10am (for 10.30)-12noon, Silverbird Theater, Westgate Mall, Nairobi Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. --Margaret Mead A Gathering for Curious Minds Free, Saturday 16th January 2010, 10am (for 10.30)-12noon, Silverbird Theater, Westgate Mall, Nairobi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We believe in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately the world. So we're building here a forum that offers free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other and challenge their fundamental beliefs. TED is a community of people who have just two things in common: they seek a deeper understanding of the world, and they hope to turn that understanding into a better future for us all. Every so often it makes sense to emerge from the trenches we dig for a living, and ascend to a 30,000-foot view, where we see, to our astonishment, an intricately interconnected whole1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every Saturday we will be showing two 20 minute videos of talks by the world’s most inspired thinkers from the renowned TED conferences (www.TED.com) followed by a casual discussion. This Saturday’s theme is “How to live an Inspirational Life”. We will show videos that feature talks by: Adventurer Bertrand Piccard who offers us a challenge: Find motivation in what seems impossible and get rid of your mental ballast to soar to new heights of inspiration. In this inspiring, almost spiritual talk, and using his solar-powered adventure as a parallel, he shares his personal philosophy and his own plans to do what many say can't be done -- to fly around the world, day and night, in a solar-powered aircraft1. Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple and Pixar who, at his Stanford University commencement speech, urges us to pursue our dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks -- including death itself. In recent years, Jobs has battled with a rare form of pancreatic cancer -- adding to an epic life story that mirrors the story of Apple itself: ever the underdog, ever the spectacular success1. At the last GCM we watched talks by Pranav Mistry and Janine Benyus who explored technology. We discussed what technology will look like in the future, whether its trajectory is beneficial or detrimental to the evolution of our world. The discussion took an exceptionally interesting path through issues ranging from where to draw the line between a ‘good’ amount of personal technology or an ‘overuse’ of personal technology in our lives. Does technology enhance our experience or does it take us away from the ‘real’ world. Our exploration found that sometimes there was an increase in “efficiency “but a loss of “depth” as one moves from the real world to the digital world… do we think differently when we write slowly and feel the paper and the pen interact compared to typing on a PC? Do we paint differently when we sense the texture of the paint and smell our work as well as see it rather than draw on a screen? Are our kids developing their sensory capacity by smelling, touching, hearing and tasting the world we live in or getting only a limited sensory inputs from a screen? On the other hand, there is also a massive added value to technology in terms of sharing ideas, gathering people around causes, putting much more power in the hands of the individual, connecting, learning, poverty alleviation, education, health etc. Perhaps every person has their own boundaries and there are 6 billion answers to this, either way it is something to think about deeply. Entry free, 10am (for 1030) -12noon, Saturday 16th January at the Silverbird Theatre, Westgate Mall (Westlands). For more information contact: Salim_keshavjee(a)yahoo.com, irfan.keshavjee(a)oba.co.uk or Farida_sher(a)yahoo.co.uk Co-ordinated in conjunction with Silverbird Theatres to whom we owe many thanks for supporting this event. 1: Adapted from the www.TED.com website If you don't wish to receive emails from the GCM group, just send me an email and I will take you off the mailing list, Thanks.

Nokia $1m Competition for app designed for the poor
by Brian Munyao Longwe 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

(From the Seattle Times) Nokia announced a $1 million competition for developers to make mobile applications to improve the lives of people living on less than $5 day. The winner of the Venture Challenge will be announced in June and receive a $1 million investment from the Finnish maker of mobile phones. President and Chief Executive Olla-Pekka Kallasvuo made the announcement at the morning keynote on this second day of the Consumer Electronics Show, turning the talk from the latest gadgets to upward mobility in emerging markets. The message was a refreshing dose of humility at a conference often relentlessly focused on making people buy bigger televisions. "I want to put our money where our mouth is," said Kallasvuo.

Is this why they still build wooden houses yet stone can easily survive tornados? Then we get to see the weather videos of a roof flying or a whole community devasted by nature?

Mail Server Question
by Tech List Kenya 11 Jan '10

Hi guys, I have a question. I am hosted by a reseller, and my domain is example.com. I can access my mails from webmail me(a)example.com or setup outlook to retrieve the mails. Now, I have 3 more 'staff' members with three extra email accounts. Question(s): can I setup a mail server like exchange to be retrieving all *(a)example.commails? How do I configure cPanel to do that? Can I create new user accounts and emails from exchange or do I have to create the email accounts in cPanel as well, i.e. if I set up sales(a)example.com in exchange, will it reflect in my hosting or do I have to go to cPanel and create it as well? Anything else I need to know?

Hi all, I need some advice. I changed domain hosts on 30th and I wanted to point my MX records to Onecom who are hosting my local server (exchange). Did that Tuesday... When you ping, it shows onecom IP. However no mails are coming in from outside. I have sent myself mail from gmail and it returns a mail delivery error as below: Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 relay not permitted (state 14). I am aware that propagation of my mail domain will take time (up to 72 hours) but I seem to still be having a problem. is this still a propagation issue? Please advice. Al

New Year puzzle #1
by saidimu apale 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Happy New Year y'all. While prepping for an interview with Google I briefly fantasized myself as the torturer (interviewer), not the tortured (interviewee). So I came up with this ridiculous puzzle, any takers? - How many steps would an ant require to walk to the moon (assuming a string attached from earth to the moon)? As always with such questions, your thinking process is sometimes more important than your final answer. Saidi PS My head hurts too ;)

Knowing that the Ant is open source and runs on Apache License, it would automate software builds for the sum of all codes ever written on earth. But before then, I am not very sure Ant would reach the moon without being acquired by some company like Sun, the way they did to Mysql. In that case, the Ant would come back on a different license, and with a changed name like Omarta. It might even be to GlassFish -- ______________________ For Webhosting and domain registration.

Tonnie Macharia, Push emails are available by design for all modern Nokia E-series, N-series, XTC, and all High end business phones. The phone will be downloading headers, and you get notifications just like SMS when new emails are sent. No need to subscribe for the blackberry service. The service is available through IMAP enabled email servers, and will also work for your custom domain like me(a)tonniemacharia.me.ke For more information, and how to host your corporate emails with PUSH Technology, contact me off-list. That is our speciality and we have offred the same service to variouse organizations Kind regards lordmwesh -- ______________________ For Affordable Webhosting and domain registration.

Re: [Skunkworks] Oohh I like this
by Bernard Mwagiru 05 Jan '10

As Gakuru rightly put it, it would be far much better to analyse the cost-benefit rather than fantasize on these technologies.Techies(me included) get excited over such but it would be an quite an eye opener for us if a researcher or market analyst could perform an analysis of relevant services. What I expect in 2010 is a more vibrant consumer awareness in the telecom sector and what should rightly be expected from operators.Many a times operators raise high expectations but those of us locked up in server rooms know all too well the challenges and shortcomings of eg wireless access technologies,etc which are not unique in Kenya; a little googling will confirm this.I am well aware that firms are out to make or squeeze bucks from subscribers.However, with more awareness at least subs will know what they are getting into.In developed countries there exist very well informed consumer rights groups who even perform real life demos and tests for consumers.Remember those early days of flash disks?You walk in and buy a 512mb but is it really 512mb?My 500gb reads 486gb from the properties tab! Never had anyone complain.Why?Because we all know what bits and bytes are. What I hope and expect is an concerted effort by groups,boards,associations,etc charged with protecting and informing the public to live up to their tasks. bernard -----Original Message----- From: Mark Mwangi Sent: 02/01/2010 11:18:09 am Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Oohh I like this these guys are conducting trials while safaricom have 3.5G in my ocha?. . . .by the time they are rolling out safaricom will have LTE in marsabit!

Skunkworks Server Contributions @ 156K so far - Due by Feb 5, 2010.
by Murigi Muraya 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Dear All, Unless the current Skunkworks Server retires before then, can we submit our contributions by Feb 5, 2010? Which components do we buy from Alvin, AKI (chekelea.com) or Cybertron Technologies? www.chekelea.com has quoted KES 186, 690.00 for a HP Rack Proliant DL 380. HP Rack ProLiant DL380 G6 Intel Xeon L5520 Quad Core 2.26 GHz, 8 MB L3 Cache, 1066-MHz FSB, 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 Unbuffered (UDIMM) Memory, NO HDD, P410i/ZM Controller, No Mouse, Keyboard, Rack (2U) Some components are not included e.g. HDD's. ONE (300GB SAS, 10K, SFF, ENT) HDD will cost at least 40K. Looks like the Server Investment will be about 260K - if we buy only ONE (non SATA) HDD & a reasonable UPS. If we buy 2 non SAS 300GB HDD's it will be 300K ... So maybe SATA HDD's will do. Alternatively, we can go Dell PowerEdge 1425 quoted at 100K by Cybertron Technologies with a SATA hard drive .. Specs are listed on the quotations spreadsheet link on the contribution spreadsheet. It is within the finances we have raised now so ... Can Server Geeks start a discussion on HP vs Dell Servers in Kenya? Service, support etc ... ? Where will the Server be located and can those who have an idea of costing figures (economics) for hosting services educate us on the same. Yes it is competition for some of us but .... Those who have contributed for the Skunkworks Server should be allowed to vote (with the list founders and geeks who have been running the server / service without demanding anything over the years) on the issues required to get this society / association registered ASAP. My suggestion is 1 Vote per Contributor. So those who have contributed 500 bob will have the same voting power as those who have contributed 10K. Hosting privileges (e.g. service & product advertisements) on the Server should however be commensurate to (time, skill and financial) contributions to give this Service more long term commercial viability, survivability and growth. Would the (first) Skunkworks breakfast not be a good forum to go through this deal?

by Okechukwu 04 Jan '10

All, Not to dilute the already started thread, and to have a thread-centered subject, I suggest we give our contributions to the following: 1.) Josiah Mugambi 2.) Eric Magutu 3.) Phares Kariuki We can have atleast everyone in their geographical or near-geographical location, and the three should also provide MPesa and Zap numbers where they can receive payments from afar. ./Ok3ch

Happy new year skunkers. I was running Fedora 10 and WinXP installed on Vmware server. Now the issue is that I installed Windows 7 after an update to Fedora 12 broke the Vmware. Now I need to access some files from the XP and wanted to install Fedora 10 on Vmware in Windows 7. Anyone done this or know if this works before I spend lots of time chasing my rear? -- Regards, Alex
