Anyone using Redhat
by Tech List Kenya 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi guys, Anyone using Redhat Enterprise in a full production environment? (dumb qn, i know). Am asking coz I want to recommend it to a client minus the support subscription or updates. I am not sure of the legal implications of installing Rhel5 software only. Secondly, who has debian? I guess that will be my next option if Redhat is not viable.

Question - How can I configure my desktop to turn into a pass through for my 3G mdoem
by Jonathan McLean 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hey Skunks- Ok, this one is for the networking peeps out there. Any help would be great! Situation: I have a small LAN set up and is currently serviced by a 4-port D-Link Wired Router and a D-Link Switch. 1 of these machines is the administrator machine (ie, mine) and has the tricky task of needing to talk to both the LAN and the Internet. I currently use a Safaricom 3G USB Dongle Modem (Huawei e160) to connect to the internet. However, Whenever it is talking to the internet, it does not allow me to talk to the LAN over the ethernet port. Frustrating, especially when trying to research + push out updates and whatnot. What I want (I think): What I would like to do is set up an internet sharing scheme without changing the LAN configuration. Basically, I want to connect my USB modem into the admin machine, which then connects to the routers WAN port, which then shares the connection with everyone else (not for constant use, that being unrealistic, not even telling people the machines can go online...). I am new to these more advanced networking techniques and I am not quite sure if I should be looking at bridging, PPPoE or simply more advanced routing tables. This is where I need help. The admin machine will not be a dedicated router, so the most lightweight solution would be nice. And it needs to be able to talk to the LAN and the Internet at the same time. The D-Link router will serve as DHCP for the LAN. The admin machine is running Linux. Here's a nice flow chart: Internet <--> USB Modem <--> Admin Desktop <--> Ethernet <--> D-Link Router <--> D-Link Switch <--> LAN Machines Of course, suggestions on altering my strategy are also welcome!

New city-council by-laws....comedy galore
by fyodor 22 Jun '09

List, Has anyone read The E.Standard's article on the new by-laws??? There is a section on dogs "No owner of a dog shall permit or cause the dog to cry or bark in a manner that disturbs the quite, peace, rest comfort of the neighborhood." Now Philip as you acquire your new puppy, please dont cause it to bark by staring at it rudely or maybe giving it a name which suites a cat...otherwise its gonna cry and council askaris will respond. This is just madness....i thought these guys were crazy but they have taken it to another level! What next "No one shall cause his/her rooster to crow before 5:43:40 am!

Networking problem [Redback router --> Juniper firewall]
by ndungu stephen 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hi people, we have been having problems for the last 3 or so days... We have a redback router, a juniper router, an extreme switch and a juniper firewall. All have gigabit interface. They are connected like so: Juniper router [user traffic] -------------->Redback router [backbone network] ------------------>switch---------------------------> Juniper firewall-------------------->internet [gigabit interface] Now we have created vlans in each of this interfaces since the hardware have limited number of ports [except the switch of course] to carry different traffics between the routers, firewall ... etc Each router is configured with a virtual router [vrf] or contexts [in case of redback] to separate the different traffics [ which are separated by the vlans on the gigabit interfaces] Here is the puzzle - The Redback router cannot reach the Juniper firewall [ping] . This went on for days until we untagged the port at the switch level and thats when the Redback was able to reach firewall. This means only one vlan is allowed through. The moment we put the tag back on, the connection btwn the two dies. Now we really need this tags because the cable has to carry all the different vlans in the network. If you put a laptop [untagged] and try to reach the firewall, it reaches just fine... but any tagged traffic is rejected. == Juniper firewall has ScreenOS - revision 6 - ISG 2000. And the Redback router has version 6 too. Does anyone know of any inherent bugs in these systems that is causing these two not communicate through "*dot1q*" tagging? I have scoured the internet for past two days [seen the juniper knowledge base] but no one else on the whole wide net seems to be facing same issue. == Any contributions would be appreciated. w/regards Stephen N.

Following below, and surrounding advocacy activities, the Meteorological Department has now taken up the task of calibrating mobile companies timers!! "it's time we found out who has been robbing who? (time-wise)" This proves that our Association's involvement in National Standards setting process pays off.

Rahim, >My problem is not the price. It's the discrepancy between the >price in the >States and the local office. A 350 dollar difference is a bit I feel i also need to voice my concern at this point. I also realized that when you go to the Apple site and then visit Elite's shop, the price difference is rather overly-marked up. I recall having an intense debate with one of the attendants giving reasons such as the economy is bad etc etc...Maybe now we can have a real reason why there is such a huge price difference. Ofcourse i know the MacPro and other hardware sold there arent for everyone, but seriously, that price mark up is way steep.

2009 East Africa Internet Governance Forum (EAIGF), Nairobi, Kenya, 7th-9th September 2009
by Vincent Ngundi 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

2009 East Africa Internet Governance Forum (EAIGF): Advancing the Internet Governance Debate in East Africa ³Thinking Globally; Acting Locally² The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) <http://www.kictanet.or.ke/> , the Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC) <http://www.kenic.or.ke/> in collaboration with other organisations are pleased to invite you to the second East African Internet Governance Forum (EA-IGF 2009) to be held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) in Nairobi, Kenya, from 7th to 9th September 2009. The 2009 EA-IGF is a follow up to the inaugural EA-IGF that was held in November 2008 in Nairobi, which aimed at catalysing the Internet governance debate in the East African sub region. With the increased access to broadband infrastructure in the East Africa region and the continued spread of sophisticated mobile services, understanding and addressing Internet policy issues has become a priority. The national and regional EA-IGF¹s will help prepare East African stakeholders to address the opportunities, strengths and challenges that arise, as well as ensuring that they have a voice in shaping Internet policy decisions at the global level. This year¹s EAIGF therefore seeks to continue to strengthen the national and regional dialogues on Internet Governance as well as; * Increase awareness of Internet Governance issues, including but not limited to local content and cyber; * continue to develop capacity and skills of various stakeholders and build regional consensus on IG issues; and, * Begin to discuss the development of a regional East African Communication policy, among others. The outcomes of the EAIGF will be submitted to the East Africa Regulatory, Postal and Telecommunications Organization (EARPTO), the African Parliamentary Knowledge Network (APKN), the East African Community, as well as, the fourth UN Internet Governance Forum taking place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in November 2009. Further, the 2009 EAIGF will set the stage for the 37th ICANN meeting to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, in March 2010. For planning purposes, please register for the meeting at http://www.eaigf.or.ke or send an email to meeting(a)eaigf.or.ke confirming your attendance. Kind Regards, ----------- Vincent Ngundi Administrative Manager KENIC - The Kenya Network Information Centre http://www.kenic.or.ke vincent(a)kenic.or.ke [T] +254 20 4450057/8 [C] +254 20 2398036 [M] +254 733 790073 [F] +254 20 4450087 ³dot KE for Every Name in Kenya!² -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Can you help me? Thieves Steal Everything from VOA4SD..
by Crystal Watley 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Dear friends, I am not one for spreading my problems all over town and it is a bit embarrassing to admit, but due to recent events I have to ask for your help. Last Saturday night, armed men broke into my home and office and stole everything we owned. All of my work for VOA4SD is gone. We lost all of our documents, equipment, and even my soap. I am considering what to do next. Likoni is not safe. As I had been saying for the last year, there are too many unemployed youth and there is a great need for opportunities. Without opportunities crime becomes an occupation. I moved to Kenya with good ideas, great ambitions, and mountains of hope. The realities have been difficult, but I have always pressed forward. Now I am praying that God makes a way where there is none. Recently, Kibaki made a speech when he announced the arrival of the TEAMS cable and how important it is for people to work towards creating youth training programs. he made it sound like the most important job in the country. It is the job I have suffered for for more than 2 years only to have everything ripped from under my feet. I need a way to start over here or I will be forced to find a way to leave Africa and return to America. My heart feels like it is being ripped out of my chest with the very thought, but I have to take care of my family. I am attaching my most recent resume here. I pray that someone can help me to find employment, funding, anything to be able to continue. It is not fair to the youth who want change that those who have given into evil pursuits steal their chances at a better life. Thank you for your help. Many blessings, Crystal -- Crystal "Naliaka" Watley Kigoni Voices of Africa for Sustainable Development crystal(a)voicesofafrica.org http://www.voicesofafrica.org/ "You must be the change you wish to see" - Gandhi

Nairobi Alert: possible attack at Village Market
by Joram Gachuiri 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hey, I got this email... it may be a sham or not but either way, it is better to be safe than to be sorry... right? If you know anyone who may be directly linked to this email, please let them know. Lovely afternoon, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Client, We have received unconfirmed reports from a reliable source that security personnel in Nairobi, Kenya, have been alerted to possible attacks by extremists on specific sites frequented by foreigners in Nairobi. Typically, we would issue an alert through normal channels, but this process requires a minimum of two sources. In this instance, we have a single but reliable source, and we feel that the potential consequences are dire enough to bring this information to your attention. We have been alerted to the following possibility: Kenyan citizens of Somali descent linked to Somalia-based Al-Shabaab Islamist militants may be planning to attack the Village Market in Gigiri, and the Israeli-owned Westgate Mall. Village Market houses a number of diplomatic and duty free stores, and is a regular meeting place for U.N. staff and diplomats. It is advisable, if possible, for all employees operating in Nairobi to minimize time spent in these areas (as well as other locations where foreigners tend to congregate) until details of the threat become clearer, or are dispelled entirely. We will provide updates as further information emerges.

Kenya Water Shortage
by Dennis Kioko 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Its tragic that water is such a cheap commodity that we dont see how critical it is for the operation of a nation. Nairobi plus other towns in the country have severe water shortages despite presence of large water bodies in the country. it is the high time that we took control of the situation. Big companies and individuals should form private parallel water companies to tap water from rivers currently pouring millions of liters into the ocean. it is also the high time that we pushed the government to reclaim the forests. The public water companies may fight this, but there is nothing they clearly not seeing the severity of the issue. Some body has got to false them for the better ness of all. -- with Regards: Are vigilante groups part of your business? make them your business by visiting my blog: http://gramware.blogspot.com

Last I checked, Apple was not supporting this, nor have they ever. I know if you google it there are plenty of sites out there, some requiring another booted mac while others require a bit of weird bootstrapping, but I am short on details having never completed it myself. also, don't confuse this with Apple officially supporting what is known as their Boot Camp, which allows you to install windows on macintosh hardware. cheers -- jonathan mclean us peace corps volunteer ict specialist mtongwe, kenya

Help installing Mac on Intel Processor

Hi Skunk(ette)s I want to install Mac on my Intel machine. Some time back I heard that it was possible and Mac was supporting it. I would like to use the mac for short work, probably for a few hours a week so I don't see the point in investing on a Mac machine (that and because I don't want to carry an extra machine with me everywhere I go.) Can you advice on how to get the installation disks, and any special system requirements I should look out for? Regards.

Programming's Crack Competitor
by Murigi Muraya 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Jiazhi Wu: Programming's Crack Competitor This coding champ won 39 out of 45 TopCoder programming matches in two years. Eric Lai <http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/idg.us.cpw.itmanagement/index;pos=imu;tile=7…;> <http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/idg.us.cpw.itmanagement/index;pos=ezblaster;…;> * July 9, 2007* (Computerworld) <http://www.computerworld.com/> What kind of trophies do they give to programming champions? Jiazhi Wu would know. As an undergrad at Zhejiang University in China, Wu won a record 39 out of 45 programming contests held by TopCoder Inc., a Glastonbury, Conn.-based software development and recruiting firm. Winning those global contests which generate actual software that TopCoder turns around and sells to its corporate customers also won Wu a cool $155,000. Jiazhi writes code very fast. In most cases, his code doesnt need much debugging, says Chao Yang, a former classmate of Wus and a fellow competitive coder. Based on my observations, I cannot see any weaknesses in him as a programmer. Im not good at sports at all, so programming was the most competitive aspect of my life, says Wu, who counts Java, C++ and C# as his favorite languages. Champion coders tend to burn out early or move on to real jobs. Thats the case with the 26-year-old, who says he has retired from competitive programming and now focuses on his role as vice president of technology for the Chinese subsidiary of TopCoder. His mission: to serve as chief architect for software components produced in China, as well as attract more burgeoning talent from Chinas deep technical well. There are a lot of talented Chinese programmers around, but they need a platform to present themselves, he says. TopCoder provides that platform..... http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=printArticleBasic&ta… ________________________________________ They Chinese compete well but cooperation (open cultures / characters) seems to work better in building software / web companies!

Opera Unite Disbanding The Cloud?
by Jonathan McLean 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hey Skunks- The subject was intentional dramatic, I don't actually forsee Opera Unite (http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-10266157-12.html) performing some magical Cloud Dispersion in the future, but being a particularly Cloud-Wary skunk (is anyone else?) I am quite pleased at recent developments in Norway. What do I see as potential for Unite in Kenya? Well, it can easily fill a gap I am guessing will occur in terms of the construction of data centres and more Hosting Providers who take advantage of our lovely SEACOM. Given our natural tendency to want to see results immediately, this could be a hybrid solution to demonstrating the potentials of the Internet to Kenyans who are still wary or have never seen it before without massive overhead. I hate massive overhead (does anyone else?). This is not to mention the increase in perfectly legal file sharing that could occur finally for all of our fledgling musicians! How many times have we all used the example of the Internet making nobodies somebodies out in the rural areas. With this simple file sharing, it could be even more of a possibility. And teaching web technologies! WoooHooo. No more need for server management. Even in the West, not all Web Designers are Sys Admins, and some of them wouldn't know how to configure say PHP or Apache if their life depended on it. But now they don't have to! Finally, it gives a Rapid Application Development and Testing cycle to Web Apps. Prototype with friends, and expand slowly, without needing to pay for hosting and domain names! Then, if your Web App suceeds, move it into its own house and stop chewing bandwidth. My only concern is that it appears to need to be able to contact opera servers for domain resolution. No good for intranet based schools like mine. I guess its just me and my Engarde Server Linux install for the weekend so my students can run intranet blogs. Thoughts?

Read somewhere that Safaricom is one of the companies hiring / leasing bandwidth on Seacom. This could mean good things on July 1, 2009. Trust those of us who have been faithful Telkom (now Orange) Kenya customers (usually not interested in streaming YouTube videos) will not have to wait another 3 months for TEAMS to go live. Any word from Telkom Orange before Safaricom convices us to ...? How much (shared) bandwidth can we expect for 4K (USD 50.00), 8K (USD 100.00) and 12K (USD 150.00) per month? Any word on contention ratios?

Some ISPs my offer that service but in normal practice that every 1MB is sold to an average ratio of 1:5 or higher. In such a case then you can divide the 600 by a value between 5 - 10 and see what it will cost on a contended circuit which is what most end users will buy. Some demanding Corporates will request for the non-contended links.

Ndugu zanguni, wacha tukague hii speech ya mzee kwanza, halafu tujadiliane kesho.. asanteni sana... thank you all, ---- SPEECH BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA HON. MWAI KIBAKI, CGH, MP, DURING THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF THE EAST AFRICAN MARINE SYSTEMS CABLE (TEAMS) ON 12TH JUNE 2009 IN MOMBASA. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am gratified to be with you today at an event of truly historic proportions. The landing of this fibre-optic undersea cable project in Mombasa is one of the landmark projects in Kenya’s national development story. Indeed some have compared this to the completion of the Kenya-Uganda railway more than a century ago. This comparison is not far-fetched, because while the economies of the last century were driven by railway connections, the economies of today are largely driven by internet and other I.C.T. connections. The East African Marine Systems project is an innovative public-private partnership between the Government of Kenya and corporate stakeholders. The project has connected our country with the rest of the world and harnessed the power of Information Communication Technologies. This is a great enabler for growth, and development of our country. The arrival of this cable in the penultimate year of the first decade of the 21st Century signals the beginning of a new beginning in the telecommunications sector, particularly data services, in our country and the region. Until now, the Eastern Africa coast was the longest coastline in the world without a fibre-optic cable connection to the rest of the world. This project comes with many attractive benefits. The TEAMS project marks a crucial turning point in our efforts to bridge the Digital Divide. It will empower Kenyans and other East Africans to become fully digital citizens of the 21st Century. It redefines modernity and efficiency and is a big step in the delivery of quality service in the I.C.T. sector. I am confident that the people of our region, especially the youth, will be the first to rush to savour the joys and high resolution qualities of the fastest Internet connections that will be offered by the undersea cable project. The TEAMS project will be a great boost to the worlds of learning, work and play. I.C.T. serves all generations. Those of the older generation will recall that the world rocked by the first global economic meltdown, the Great Depression of 1929 that lasted deep into the 1930’s was soon followed by the World War that started in 1939. Today we are witnessing the global recession that began with the American sub-prime mortgage and banking crisis of last year. But there is a crucial difference this time round: the prevailing worldwide recessionary conditions are the first such downturn to happen in the age of I.C.T. As such, I believe that a world equipped with I.C.T. and interconnected by fibre-optic cables has much better disaster preparedness and turnaround capabilities than the world of the 1930’s. Thanks to I.C.T. the world now is truly a global village with better communication and now better informed. I am confident that timely solutions to the ongoing economic crisis will be found using the crucial tools of I.C.T.. Future downturns will be easier to foresee, contain and overcome, in good time. With the TEAMS project, Kenya and the Eastern Africa region are finally joining what the American author Thomas Friedman called a flattened world in his bestselling book “The World is Flat. In his book he analyses the convergence of technology and events that saw China and India become global centres of the supply chain for services and manufacturing. Mr Friedman explains how a seamlessly interconnected world is making a positive impact on nations, companies, communities and individuals. In addition to the marine installation that we are celebrating here today, the next step is the full completion of the construction of land-based infrastructure. This will make I.C.T. the main pillar of our national economic blueprint for the new millennium, VISION TWENTY THIRTY. The opportunities that are about to be opened up by the TEAMS project are tremendous. Readily accessible bandwidth will not only lower telecommunications costs but also provide new opportunities practically in all sectors. The concept of a working nation will translate into a much stronger economy befitting this millennium. To address these challenges, I am directing the Ministry of Information and Communication to come up with programmes for the training and development of youth nationwide, to catch the first generation of truly digital Kenyans. Similarly, I direct all the Ministries to speedily adopt I.C.T. in their strategic plans in order to realise the full benefits of technology, for the good of our country. Ladies and Gentlemen, Affordable telecommunications technologies and infrastructure are critical to our nation’s development. The phenomenon of business process outsourcing which is a mainstay of the I.C.T. sector, is something that the Government wishes to see take hold in Kenya as soon as possible. Under business process outsourcing, engineering and scientific research, computer programming, accounting and telemarketing, the new global enterprise, can be based anywhere in the world. This is what a knowledge-based society is about. And it is possible because I.C.T. enables you to deliver services and products anywhere in the world. I.C.T. therefore is a necessity that we must embrace as it helps Kenya to move with the changing times in a rapidly evolving world. With the launch of this project Kenya is now equipped with one of the most advanced and cost effective, nation-building tools. With these remarks it is now my pleasure to officially launch the East African Marine Systems Cable. _______________________________________________ ke-internetusers mailing list ke-internetusers(a)bdix.net http://www.bdix.net/mailman/listinfo/ke-internetusers

Mobile app, When you give the link for downloading jad, they can easily identify the jar file location and they can as well download and share. I belief using wurfl could be a solution. link: http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/ Regards, Ambrose Kimaiyo

Just saw this ad in the Daily Nation.. Well from what my maths teacher said ..like 20 years ago if *USD 600 = 1000kb* then *256kb = USD 153.6 = KSH 10752* Is this not too expensive ... How and when is the price of Internet connections going to come down? The last thing i want is a Super Fast connection i cant afford!! Maina Muraguri.

Google Developer Qualification
by Christopher Kiagiri 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Are you a developer who is already developing applications that use Google APIs? Did you know that there are always people reaching out to Google Kenya asking if they can hire qualified developers to implement various solutions? Have you positioned yourself to be able to receive these types of business leads from Google? Well, now you can do so for free by participating in the Google Qualified Developer program <http://code.google.com/qualify/>. It will be interesting to see which African countries will have the largest number of qualified developers via this program. Personally, I think it would be neat if Kenya were to lead the way. :) Cheers, - Chris

Mobile phones lower the cost of business<http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/Bankelele/%7E3/N7ORRYltn1U/mobile-phones-l…> Posted: 12 Jun 2009 08:45 AM PDT *Money Transfer Within Kenya Part 3* A comment from @alykhansatchu on Money transfer lead to an update of the first post about money transfer<http://bankelele.blogspot.com/2005/09/money-transfer-within-kenya.html>from about 3 ½ years ago before the advent of mobile money transfers. At that time, the cost of sending 10,000 shillings (then about $136) within Kenya was Kshs. 1,700 ($23) with Western Union and 1,850 ($25) with Moneygram - working out to a remittance cost of about 17% - 19% for an instant money transfer. This was mostly done at a few commercial bank branches, some foreign exchange bureaus, and at post offices around the country within banking hours. *90% savings:* A lot has happened in the last few years mainly in the form of the arrival of money transfers via mobile phones by MPesa<http://www.safaricom.co.ke/index.php?id=745>from Safaricom and more recently Zap <http://www.ke.zain.com/en/zap/index.html> from Zain. A recent post last week noted that Western Union in Kenya have just lowered transfer costs <http://moseskemibaro.com/?p=412> to flat rates of 2% i.e. almost 88% cheaper than what they were at the time. In the last few years, millions of Kenyans have moved on to mobile phones for money transfer and I can’t recall anyone who uses banks for these transactions. Mobile phone have maximums of about $430 (35,000 shillings) for money transfers, but this is more than enough to cater for most remittances, including the emergencies that necessitate instant transfers. And mobiles are still cheaper; the 2% western union charge to transfer 10,000 shillings works out to about 200 shillings. A transfer of the same amount by Zap costs 75 shillings (0.75%) and 105 shillings (1.05%) by M-Pesa (after combining sender and receiver fees) *International remittance to get cheaper?:* Zain hope to link Zap to allow transfers to customers of Zain in different African countries. And Safaricom are setting up a link for transfers from the United Kingdom to Kenya. When these are established, we should also see the cost of internal remittances, whose sometime high cost is a cause for complaint for many Africans in the Diaspora, also drop significantly. -- Solomon Mburu P.O.

I almost missed out on this one. Makes remember PPP (Public-Private sector Partnership). I think this would really come in handy. If the community can partner with Gava through its agencies like ICT board, then am sure the goodwill that we have with the PS and other Gava players in this industry can crystalize to something very close to what Alex is talking about (the Nbi Hospital model). The Government can sponsor this initiative in aid of the community as it is a major stakeholder in the positive outcome that is envisaged.
