Digital voice recorder for Skunkworks meetings
by Peter Karunyu 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Given my location and the location of skunkworks meetings, I will never be able to attend one, yet I am 100% sure they are awesome! As it is, Phares is most likely unable to take detailed minutes and should not because there is a better solution. Therefore, I am window shopping for a digital voice recorder for Phares so that I always hear what goes on. So, I found this one: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/9e59/ at USD$89.99 (about KSHs. 7000), Amazon has cheaper models<http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Voice-Recorders-Audio-Video/b?ie=UTF8&node=22…>, at USD$ 23.40, but they dont look as 'skunkie' as the one from ThinkGeek. Phares, if this is acceptable, do nothing :-) and I will be hitting each skunk I know personally for a contribution towards this, ETA: November 13. Regards, Peter.

Greetings to all, I have been doing some research on free to air satellite tv and wanted to know if its possible to grab a beam that is aimed at europe for example http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/astra2a.html if i had a really big dish say 3.6m to 5m with a ku lnb Also Note the big red "box". What does the box symbolize? I was scrolling through the satellites available on my 90 cm dstv dish and it showed hotbird and astra1 and 2. Is it possible to get feeds off these satellites?

Hi all, Want to install a whole bunch of apps on the iPhone. Most of them are on the AppStore Current model requires you to have an iTunes Account to do this. All my efforts to setup this account require me to have an address outside of Kenya (UK, South Africa, USA etc) and/or a credit card number. Has anyone found a workaround to do with without either?

Re: [Skunkworks] Will Open source make developing nations dumber and dependent on freeware to run economies?
by Steve Obbayi 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

I totally share @Aki's view on this thread. Now about @Emanuel's views on re-inventing the wheel? That's what the US motor industry had to do, literally rather than just reinvent the wheel, they had to reinvent the concept of the cars consumers "need" just to stay afloat in the long run. For decades cars have been designed and built around certain parameters stored in on some bookshelf. Unfortunately some of those parameters are continually becoming irrelevant in this day and age with the economic situation as it is coupled with rising energy costs. For these reasons reinventing the wheel becomes necessary. I think what @Aki is saying is, with attitudes of us kenyans nothing would change. Look at Kenya railways. It was a major force to reckon with as far as mechanical engineering was concerned back in the 70s and 80s but the same coaches and engines that where used back them have deceptively been sufficient up until today... (nothing has changed).. okay lets go to something nearer home. The drivers licenses booklet thingy. Those things should have been changed years ago. So it's the same mentality with us kenyan developers. As long as it can be downloaded and plugged in; we are content with it as it is. @Aki unfortunately this thing is everywhere. look at local radio. one station starts "Secret Sound" and the rest adopt the idea and so on. So tuning in to each radio station you find the same old "creativity". across the board. Anyway i could go on and on and on. I am working on a "Secret" Personal project which I don't want to divulge and info on at this time. All I can say is it is nothing new but I am just implementing the wheel from scratch in a different way. At 1st when I started it looked impossible with today's technology but the more i proceed i keep discovering ways to do it. yep, that's it for now.

I think FreeBSD is something that holds a unified light for OS which will make development easier. Well, I hope to see something new from local OS people sometime next year worth many mentions and achievements. Something to change perceptions that exist. When I mention dumbness, it is not meant as an insult but as a wake up call that things should be moving or we easily become Open Source Robots who can only do one thing : download this or that.

The US .gov is moving open source, Kenya with all its poverty is going the $$ way, tells me how we don't know how to make/save wealth. --- Don't wait for success; hunt it down like there's no tomorrow. --- This is great!

Will Open source make developing nations dumber and dependent on freeware to run economies?
by aki 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Not to provoke any nerves etc and am just wondering aloud. As I see tech things evolve each day or month, I kind of get the impression Open Source will be a cause of a lot of misery, especially where it is involved in many versions and platforms. I think eg FreeBSD holds the Open Source key to future stability and development and should be the way forward for a single platform approach. Why are we creating modern type writers by running Open Source on laptops and desktops? me mid-week thots... :-)

SES WORLD SKIES' NSS-12 Satellite Successfully Launched
by Space Engineering NOC 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Press Releases 29.10.2009 *SES WORLD SKIES’ NSS-12 Satellite Successfully Launched On-Board Ariane 5 * *41st satellite in SES fleet marks second successful Ariane 5 launch for SES in 2009* Kourou, French Guiana – October 29th, 2009 - SES WORLD SKIES, an SES company (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG), announces that the NSS-12 satellite successfully roared into space on-board an Ariane 5 ECA booster from the European Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on October 29 at 5:00 p.m. local time (8:00 p.m. GMT). Approximately 27 minutes after lift-off the spacecraft separated from the Ariane 5 upper stage and was placed into geostationary transfer orbit. Initial signals from NSS-12 were received at a control station in Uralla, Australia at 8:32 p.m. GMT. NSS-12 was manufactured by Space Systems/Loral, with launch services on-board Ariane 5 provided by Arianespace. The spacecraft, procured by SES Satellite Leasing Limited in the Isle of Man, is poised to be the 41th satellite in SES’ global fleet. Rob Bednarek, President and CEO of SES WORLD SKIES, stated: “The flawless launch of NSS-12 allows us to ensure seamless continuity for a variety of customers at the key orbital position of 57 degrees East and considerably increases our capacity on-orbit. Our thanks for a mission well accomplished go to the skilled engineering and operations teams of Arianespace, Space Systems/Loral and SES ENGINEERING. After NSS-9 in February, this is the second successful Ariane 5 launch of an SES satellite in 2009.” “NSS-12 will be the 59th Space Systems/Loral satellite now orbiting the earth,” said John Celli, President and Chief Operating Officer of Space Systems/Loral. “Congratulations to SES WORLD SKIES and Arianespace for another flawless launch. Every completed satellite and successful launch is an exciting achievement and a testament to our companies’ ability to collaborate as a team.” Immediately following the successful launch of NSS-12, Jean-Yves Le Gall, Chairman & CEO of Arianespace, said: “Arianespace is especially proud of carrying out this 32nd successful launch for the SES group, one of the world’s leading satellite operators. Since the launch of their first satellite in 1988, we have developed an exceptional relationship with SES, by offering services and solutions custom-tailored to their needs. I would like to personally thank SES for their long-standing confidence, and for having once again chosen Arianespace, the global benchmark in satellite launch services.” * About NSS-12* The powerful, state-of-the-art NSS-12 satellite will provide comprehensive and robust coverage of some of the world’s fastest-growing markets. The spacecraft replaces NSS-703 at 57 degrees East and covers virtually the entire Eastern Hemisphere, bringing increased capacity and transmission power to a key orbital location at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia. NSS-12 features 40 C-band transponders and 48 Ku-band transponders with DTH power levels, as well as elaborate beam interconnectivity and C-/Ku-band cross-strapping. The spacecraft will deliver DTH power and performance through four regional Ku-band spot beams over the Middle East and Europe, Central and South Asia and, for the first time, East Africa. The satellite’s high-capacity, high-power C-band hemispheric beams – one covering Europe, Africa (including Mauritius) and the Middle East, and the other stretching across Asia to Australia – have been augmented by a powerful C-band global beam spanning from the UK to the Far East. The satellite reaches an estimated two-thirds of the world’s population. *About SES WORLD SKIES* SES WORLD SKIES is the new global division of SES, created through the combination of the former SES NEW SKIES and SES AMERICOM. The company operates a fleet of 25 satellites - part of the 40 spacecraft of the SES group - delivering services as diverse as television distribution and broadcast, internet access, data transmission and business and government communications to customers worldwide. SES WORLD SKIES currently has five additional satellites under construction. The company’s unique customer-focused approach allows it to offer the best satellite solutions for a host of business and government requirements, with a view toward helping customers meet their short-term challenges and realize their longer-term goals.

Orange 3g+ versus Safaricom 3g....
by aki 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Well I ran out of Orange credit today morning and did not have the time to buy some until later. So I borrowed a friend's safaricom modem and now I discover that Safaricom is expensive and much has changed since I used it in jan this year. Orange sustains speeds of upto 35KB/s = kshs 4,000 = 4GB of data usage Safaricom speeds are all over the place, finally settled to 25KB/s = Kshs 10,000 = 4GB of data usage I hope I got the rates correctly. Do the above figures justify Safaricom? Corrections welcome. Rgds.

K-24 TV signals very Unfriendly to TV sets(Mombasa)
by chege boniface 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Dear ALL, If you are a Mombasa Resident you might have noticed that since K-24 started transmitting some times Last week,Most TVs restored back to their Original settings!,..The most annoying thing is that remote controls 1-0 keys arent funtioning.You have to either press mute buttons so that you can activate the program scroll keys(Up and Down). My Tv Set is a Wega and the Problem that am facing is being experienced in the Neighbourhood. There is a message being displayed on the screen- FACTORY in Red letters or FAC after a duration of time. Can someone explain to me the reason behind this scenario.I just woke up and upon switching on My TV it had already searched and assigned K-24 as my No.1 channel!!,..This is strange. Anyone with a solution on how I can revert back my Set to Original settings shall be rewarded. Thank you. Regards, Boniface.(0720043650)

Ping tests indicate a round trip of about 20-30ms.I dont think this can affect the quality.What cud be the cause of the call drops? Also is there a tool i can use to measure VoIP perfomance.

kai wulff on balance of power
by Peter Muchemi 04 Nov '09

I found the "balance of power" statement interesting. On thinking about it I found it to be spot on esp in discouraging deviation from the norm thus stiffling innovation. Locally guys go for the big guy and the small guy who can later become the "better option" is left to die. A few illustrations. 1. Every car infront is a T. 2. T.. my country my beer. K will never have a chance with its S brand. 3. 90% of new coders know VB and nothing else. 4. The better option has over 14m subscribers as they claimed yesterday in the papers. 5. Majority of accountants will only use QB 6. And the list goes on. -- Regards

Re: [Skunkworks] [ke-internetusers] Re: ICDL to be Gazetted: Is Open Office recognized?
by Crystal Watley Kigoni 04 Nov '09

The ICDL is both a training and testing platform that covers productivity software and basic computer knowledge. For more information please see: http://www.icdl.org.za/index.php It is not a bad thing to have standards for the minimum training. Currently in Kenya there are training schools who award certificates in the "7 basic packages" that leave graduates poorly equipped for employment. By introducing a standard it ensures that add graduates from the same program have the same skills set. That will allow for better curriculum development at the next stage of skill building. The ICDL curriculum can be taught by using OpenSource technology or Proprietary. What is essentially being tested are the skills to use the productivity applications regardless of operating system platform. I hope this assists with people to have a understanding of the debate here.

ICDL to be Gazetted: Is Open Office recognized?
by wesley kirinya 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

KTN's Business news says that the government will only recognize (and will gazette) computer literacy as someone who at least has ICDL. Microsoft was mentioned (by the guy narrating the news). Dr.Ndemo confirmed (in the news clip) ICDL as Spreadsheet, Word processor, Presentation and Database. Open Office has similar packages. Can Dr. Ndemo at least confirm whether Open Office and any other office packages are recognized by government? or in other words what content makes an ICDL package? I find it mind-blowingly strange that Microsoft's Office products would be the only ones recognized as ICDL (as mentioned in the news clip). O_o?

Help! I am thinking of getting the lg x120 netbook that safaricom is offering. I have read reviews on it from the internet (for the netbook) and i was impressed. I may have all the info i need for it except one mega factor...can the atom processor work with oracle forms 10g? the ram is 1gig and the processor is 1.6ghz. the ram i can work with but i aint too sure about the processor. i figure that for kawaida java development, i may use the jcreator coz its relatively lightweight. anybody out there with helpful info?

Signal strength : all bars, no rain etc. It has taken a sudden downturn effective today towards less than HALF the speeds! LOL! - Until Sunday 2GB datapack = 3,900/- = Speeds at 280kbps downloads/ 140kbps uploads ( kilobits per second ). - As of today morning, 4GB datapack = 3,900/- = Speeds at 96kbps - 8kbps dowloads / Did not even bother testing ( kilobits per second ). I can only laugh...... time to torrent until the 4GB package is used up. No mercy...need some iso files.

Safaricom vs Orange internet - pricing and all

Hi fellow skunkers, With the recent lowering of internet tariffs by orange, we are hoping safaricom will follow suit. Otherwise i have pasted the following comparison for those who are not in the know Orange internet modem cost 2,999 How to top up your account: send 12 digit card number to 430 How to check balance: send sms #123# to 430 Bundle (MB) Price Activation Code In Bundle Price/MB Validity Period APN = bew.orange.co.ke 50 150 send sms #123#bundle to 430 e.g. #123#50 3 30 100 250 2.5 200 450 2.25 500 850 1.7 1000 1500 1.5 2000 2200 1.1 4000 3900 1 Out of Bundle Charges: 7/= Per MB Safaricom internet Modem price 3,999 7) How do I activate the pre-pay bundle? Send the word activate to the following codes; Bundle Price Activation Code In Bundle Price/MB Validity Period APN = safaricom 40MB 250/= SMS word activate to 442 6.25/= 90 days 100MB 500/= SMS word activate to 443 5/= 300MB 999/= SMS word activate to 446 3.30/= 700MB 1,999/= SMS word activate to 447 2.85/= 1GB 2,499/= SMS word activate to 448 2.44/= Out of Bundle Charges: 8/= Per MB To load the modem, go to sms function, send PIN number of card to 141 To know your bundle balance send blank sms to 450 for those who already have the safaricom E160 modem, it can be unlocked at a cost of Ksh 1,400.00 to accept any subscriber sim card. the older modem E220 i already posted instruction on unlocking. Orange is also has 3G services but on the CDMA network, the modems are going for 3999 and pricing for internet same as the GSM equivalent. Enjoy cheaper tariffs.

Motorola Android- Make or Break for them ?
by ndungu stephen 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

I have been following phone news lately - mainly because it affects 'us' one way or another-- When the Apple iphone first showed up, the phone manufacturers said "...The devices are too expensive, besides, our market share is much more,, it will take time to catch up.." Two years later, the story changes, motorola and sony-e phones are on their way to the negative margins, mototola more on the negative... and Apple takes 20% of total mobile handset profits despite selling only 5.2 million units in the quarter... Not to mention that they are now one of the biggest media online sales company, churning sales in mp3 [lets go after wall mart], books [lets go after amazon] , apps etc [nokia leads the pack though, at 50% with diverse handsets for all prices and uses] Motorola has had to re-think its "smart phone" production as a way to hit back from below the x-axis to somewhere above it by relaunching this new device... http://motorola-android.com/ Will they make it ? What has Google Android and iPhone done right ? http://motorola-android.com/

Software to manage clients and payments-Web or Desktop app?
by John Wesonga 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hi, Has anyone done a basic web app that stores customer details, track payments, balances and also allows you to print KRA tax register receipt? I have a client whose running a small business and has requested for software to carry out those tasks, my preference is web based but I think a simple desktop application preferably .NET would be an easier option to build and integrate with the KRA stuff. Would welcome any thoughts or comments -- John Wesonga http://www.multiplechoices.biz http://wesonga.peupe.net http://www.linkedin.com/in/johnwesonga http://www.twitter.com/jwesonga

Re: [Skunkworks] Use Of UML
by fyodor 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

HI >can quickly become un-understandable -- and the automatic code >generation isnt really solving problems in many cases. (Also >availability of open source UML software is a problem) In my experience, UML gets rather misunderstood for a language yet its just a diagramming notation. Its no OOA/D or a method. I think thats a line most software architects miss. It took time to grasp the concept but one book i highly recommend for anyone who wants to apply UML, which is a very noble idea is, "Applying UML and Patterns by Craig Larman". For the tools, i guess there is a plethora of those out there but my personal favorites are ArgoUML(open-source) and Poseidon(commercial). Anyone interested in sharing ideas and also experiences in the same feel free to shoot me mail or we can take this to the forum. -tyrus _IEEE Member.

Hi? Is there any of the above on skunkworks? I witnessed a very crazy incident at one branch yesterday. There was this lady infront of me and after her shopping had been calculated she removed a voucher which was accepted but LO !!! she was told she had to spend the whole amount.... A commotion ensued and I wondered what was going on.....her shopping looked like less 1k....then I saw the voucher 5,000/=!! The Manger came in and she was told she had to spend the whole amount immediately or she forfeits the balance. Her bill was 980/= She was even told they dont sell AIRTIME !!! Now in this era and from experience from Nakumatt & possibly Uchumi...they give out credit reciepts with which you are given 15-30 days to spend it.....(bright idea) this keeps you coming back....... Can TUSKYS ICT team style up !!!! Comments please....coz as for me they just lost a customer after that incident ...... Alvin

Hi everyone, I need your assistance on this. I have a scenario. An ME 3400 Cisco catalyst switch (with 24 FE SFPs and 2 GE SFPs) should be connected to a Cisco 2811(with a HWIC GE optical installed). The issue is SFPs modules to be used since the switch is FE and the router is GE. Any ideas on the SFPs I can use?

Safcom 3G and dwindling speeds
by Billy 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Maybe its just me, but ever since i heard that safcom was connected to TEAMS (3/4wks i think) my browsing speeds have only gone down - DRASTICALLY!! Nowadays I operate at sub 7KBps on avg with sudden 3/5 sec spikes of about 150KBps every couple of hours or so and then back to the 5-10KBps avg. Speeds were pretty good pre-TEAMS. Anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?

Does a vehicle in our sub-saharan Africa need a thermostat ?
by ndungu stephen 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hallo all, To the vehicle gurus... we have been having this debate after a vehicle overheated. At first we thought it was a faulty sensor, so we removed that... Then the situation got out of hand and the mechanics advised that the Thermostat was the problem, and it is common knowledge to remove the thermostat when it comes from winter countries to our good old sub-sahara.. This overheating problem occurs in rainy or cold situations - dont know why. But never when its hot, so on a level, the mechanics could be right. After removing the thermostat and reinstalling the heat sensor, the vehicle seems fine and does not overheat - however, I came across the article below on the net [who do we believe? experienced mechanics, or those who know why the thermostat was installed in the first place?] : Q: Can running without a thermostat cause overheating I was told that if the water circulates too fast it will not cool properly Is this possible and how? Running your engine without a thermostat will cause it to run hot. An engine will run cooler initially without a thermostat. After that IT WILL NOT! Why you ask? Again, physics. An engine running without the restriction of the thermostat in the system (remember, even when it's wide open there's still some restriction in the system caused by the thermostat's small opening) will not keep the coolant in the radiator long enough for the radiator to 'radiate' the heat. That is, the coolant must stay in the radiator for a certain amount of time to dissipate some of the heat it has absorbed from being in the engine block. The coolant is in the block. It's hot. It moves to the radiator and gets rid of some of the heat. If it moves through the radiator too FAST, without the restriction of the thermostat body, it won't get rid of as much heat. Basic Thermodynamics at play. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_running_without_a_thermostat_cause_overheatin…

Offtopic Traffic lights LEDs vs bulbs
by Michuki Mwangi 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi folks, First i have to apologize for this offtopic thread!. About an hour ago i saw a technician replacing what appears to me as a screw-on ordinary domestic bulb on the traffic lights at the GPO intersection. I have to say in an time where power savings are important and durability is critical - was the cost of implementing LED based traffic lights far too expensive compared to the frequent replacement of bulbs and higher power costs?. Just curious as to why we opt for ancient technology all the time. Have a pleasant day and weekend. Mich
