Friday the 30th.......
by aki 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Lets see, its a special day....... :-)))))) - Some rain creates "poor visibilty" = traffic jams - End of Month = more traffic jams. - Orange 3g+ down since 9am = more traffic jams, less work done on the internet. Possibly the core Orange tech people are being affected by the 2 points above, decide let it be fair across. Orange has maintained an excellent service on 3g+ but the end of month " dead internet " is a mystery. lol!

Plant oil cooking stove
by [ Brainiac ] 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hello skunks, this may not be your everyday discussion, nonetheless, this still is the most likely group i would think of asking. I deliberately refuse to OFFTOPIC it. Here is the challenge, adapt or develop a cooking stove that uses plant oil. Castor, coconut, elianto, etc. Im thinking if volumes are worked up due to this, you would only need to buy one oil, for the stove and the pan. Anyway, the challenge is the physical characteristics of viscousity, and the carbon deposits after running an hour. There is one done by siemens called the 'protos' just that the stove is in two pieces and still cost is a problem. Any willing creative thinkers?

Back to : Safaricom Free Unlimited Internet [for 14 days ???] at [Ksh. 200 ???]
by ndungu stephen 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I bought two scratch cards for Ksh. 200.. Then I decided to download "star trek TNG season 3" - I was told its 8.88 GB, so i figured with 3G speeds, I should be able to get the whole thing in about 8800 seconds.. [i.e putting it at an optimistic 1mbps to 500kbps] Which is about 3 hours...... to 6 hours... So, I washa the 3G card, load my 2 soc at around Saturday midnight, and I imagine that the speeds will be so good then, I will have the whole file by Sunday morning... Shock on me... I started with speeds on 0 - 12 kbps ... I waited it out for an hour without improvement... I began to wonder, do we really have the right to say we have high internet speeds in Kenya, or it a myth based on network usage ? What about capacity and dimensioning ? Because I would have thought, that if we as a network has N - number of subscribers and we need each guy to have 1 mbps, then we will get a little over 1xN mbps from the fiber holders... But this seems not the case... I woke up at 3 am, things had improved a little, it was around 150kbps, but still not good enough, because the file had only done 2.2%.. That meant I was to get the whole file in 24 hours.. So I said, ooh well, they said 14 days, so I can let the computer run as I await the file.. In the morning, I had 7.1%... I went to church, visit friends, zurura town, got back home at around 9pm ,iT HAD REACHED 7.7%.. It had only done 0.6% AFTER 12 HOURS !!!! Now that is what we call glacial progress in this age of Kenya being connected right at the heart of internet... In south africa, if they tell you that you will get 3.6 mbps - you really get 3.6 mbps, but you also get a low of around 2.4 mbps, which is very acceptable... but 0-12 kbps,,, for 3G ?????? Anyway, I decided to discontinue the "star trek TNG' download for a few minutes so that I could do other things, before resuming... and thats when the SMS came: "Your 14 day unlimited internet access has just expired, to continue enjoying the 'free' services, please load another Ksh. 200" I THOUGHT THEY SAID 14 DAYS !!! ==== So, lets do the math.. 7.7 % of 8800 MB = 680 MB [approximately] 200 divide by 680 = Ksh. 0.3 per MB Conclusion : I guess in the end if I want that "star trek TNG" it will cost me Ksh 0.3 x 8800 = Ksh. 2640.... And it will take me 13 days to get it, barely making the last 14. Have we got free unlimited internet ?? At what cost ??

open source or freeware...... does kenya contribute to development of Open Source?
by aki 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Monday morning buzz. From a programming point of view, does Open source mean freeware? As an example, I googled ubuntu to see if any kenyan is developing apps or " ports " for this and have been unable to get any info. How many times has this list been queried about a simple PPP dailer function for eg Ubuntu, yet I've not read anywhere if someone has written and " ported " a script or a " kenyan PPP dialer using local avaliable modems technology " ? I understand the typical scenario of php and mysql which really is an end use but what about improving the OS functionality itself? Shida ni nini? Pls correct as necessary. :-) Asante.

Re: [Skunkworks] [ke-internetusers] Re: Let's build an Electronic Payment Solution!
by wesley kirinya 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

As I said earlier in the thread, I would get back with a response of what I found. I won't go into the details of the companies I spoke to but rather I'll give a general overview of the payment solutions. I believe you guys will get to know about the solutions via the mail lists therefore I dont want to pre-launch any of them. I spoke to 3 companies, and all 3 seem to be at advanced stages with the payment solutions. One of the companies is not in Kenya, but is African. So basically there are 2 Kenyan companies. In general you, the software developer/content creator, will pay an annual fee of about 20-40K, and upto 3% per transaction. You will be provided with an API to intergrate with the payment solution. One of the payment solutions will provide ready plug-ins which I think is great for the non-techie guys (content creators: Music, videos, ...). The solutions rely on the Telcos money transfer services therefore customers will be charged normal M-Pesa/Zap fees. I did mention the idea of partnering with a retailer e.g. Uchumi to sell electronic top-up cards (similar to how you would buy airtime) and thus eliminate the M-Pesa/Zap fees (The retailer gets about 6%). The idea was received well but it's not immediate in the pipeline. Some of the issues I had in mind are whether people without IDs (teenagers) can use the system (coz of M-Pesa/Zap dependency) however the solution would be parents to do purchases on their behalf. Another issue was that transactions of < KSH. 100 are not worth it. These payment solutions might be rolled out before the end of the year. If you're a developer and you feel the above fits you then polish up your app 8~), ready for sale. Personally I think the solutions are good. More than that I think we're generally moving in the right direction. I hope developers and content creators make use of these services to sell products. 8~) --- On Sun, 9/20/09, Lucy Kimani <lkimani(a)yahoo.com> wrote: From: Lucy Kimani <lkimani(a)yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] [ke-internetusers] Re: Let's build an Electronic Payment Solution!

question on open-source

Can an open-source application restrict download only to a specific category of users? There's one such major application, in non-profit circles, that does just that.

Re: [Skunkworks] REGISTRATIION OF SOFTWARE IN KENYA
by Martin Mucheke 24 Oct '09

24 Oct '09

@Grace. During this years ASK Show i visited different stands so as to find the differences btwn the various forms of Ip rights. Copyright in Kenya is administered by the Kenya Copyright Board under the AGs office. It is a set of rights for literary works e.g films, music, computer generated works like software etc . To get a copyright you have to take your work to them in CD media. After they verify your work is genuine a certificate is issued. The fee if i can remember correctly was about ks.8,000 for software. Since it is private right the board & police can't act without a complaint from the author about infringement. The author may pursue civil or/and criminal action against the infringer. Check out www. attorney-General.go.ke/copyright. Patents are issued for ideas, inventions, utility and must be new & industrially applicable i.e mass production. Patents,trademarks/tradenames are issued by KIPI which is under the ministry of industrialisation. The stages involved in a patent are: 1. Application 4 patent 2. Examination 3. Publication in a journal 4. Registration 5. Renewal after expiry of patent Contact them through info(a)kipi.go.ke. Software is copyrighted and not patented. Copyright lasts as the authors lifetime + 50 yrs whereas the patent lasts for 15yrs after which it is in public domain even though it is renewable. Regards. Martin Mucheke

Taesk CMS
by Michael Pedersen 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi Skunks, Now that we are all talking about "big" projects I am very proud to finally be able to announce that Taesk CMS have become open source (GPLv3) see http://www.taesk.org Taesk CMS is (yes you guessed it) a content management system, one that I have been heavily involved in developing ever since I wrote the initial version back in 2001 (yes thats before Joomla existed) and co-founded PLUSPEOPLE to deliver worldclass websolutions to our clients, mainly using Taesk CMS. Taesk has a different focus than other CMS' in that it does not try to provide as many features as possible - instead it tries very carefully to limit the features available, in order to make it more easy for the users to comprehend (and remember) how the systems actually works - always keeping in mind that the end-user it not very tech-savvy! Do not mis-interpretate this as if Taesk does not have many features - it does - but they are carefully "hidden" behind a well designed and simple interface. Always remember that the daily administrators are not as technically qualified as the developers who build the site - so what seems "easy" for a developer to use might be completely nonsense for "regular people". Feel free to let me know if our balance between usability and functionality has succeeded or not. Sometime in 2008 we decided to make Taesk CMS open source, but it is actually not until now that we finally managed to spend a little time setting up a website for it and actually releasing it as such - it now available at http://www.taesk.org Currently it is the latest verison 1.6.6 that is available on the website - do not let the "low" version number fool you, it is the 7th or 8th main release (since version 0.9), and is in active development more or less every day. Documentation is still lacking on the website - we have lots of documentation for the system, but it will take some additional time to prepare it all for publication - I'll be working on this in the weeks to come. If Skunkers are interested then I'll be happy to give presentations and/or tutorials the next time I'm in Nairobi. It could be on a Tuesday meeting or barcamp or whatever. In the meantime you are more than welcome to post questions regarding Taesk on the support forum, or here on the skunkworks mailling-list if it is of a broader interest. I hope the release of Taesk CMS makes me an "original programmer" by Aki's standards ;-) Regards Michael Pedersen PLUSPEOPLE
