Empty reply from server
by Allan O. 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hi, I have implemented the Codeigniter Rest Server <https://github.com/chriskacerguis/codeigniter-restserver> as described in numerous tutorials. I can make requests like *http://localhost/folder/api/controller/postfunction <http://localhost/folder/api/controller/postfunction>* and get a JSON response. The issue is when I host the files on a different server. Making a request like *http://server_ip/api/controller/postfunction <http://server_ip/api/controller/postfunction>* I get the response as status 0 with the message *Empty reply from server*. After combing StackOverflow, I understand that the issue could be as a result of the request timing out or being cancelled before a response was received. But when I access *http://server_ip/api/ <http://server_ip/api/>* I get 404 from Codeigniter. Which is okay. The issue arises when I access the controller file Controller.php i.e. *http://server_ip/api/controller/ <http://server_ip/api/controller/>* Any thoughts on how to go about resolving this? NB: the Controller.php has this line of code require APPPATH.'/libraries/REST_Controller.php'; Could this be a source of the issue? Regards, Allan

MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 END OF SUPPORT
by Alvin Jason Ochieng 21 May '15

21 May '15

Time is running out on July 14, 2015. If your business is running Windows Server 2003, then you probably already know that after this date, there will be no more patches, updates and support available. *HOW PREPARED IS YOUR BUSINESS FOR SERVER MIGRATION? * Lack of preparation can affect security, compliance and operational cost, which can cause critical data and application issues. If you are running Windows Server 2003, you are not alone. Millions of companies must still deal with the upcoming end of support. Take action and migrate to Lenovo Servers and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2. *WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU COMPARE? * Lenovo® System x® and ThinkServer® based on Intel® Xeon® processors are better together with Windows Server 2012. The performance boosting benefits of upgrading your servers and software can reach: • Up to 66% decrease in idle power consumption • Up to 30% reduced latency • Up to 90% annual energy cost reduction *QUESTIONS? * Contact your Lenovo Sales Representative. The powerful, efficient, and more secure heart of your datacentre.

Windows 10 TP
by Odhiambo Washington 19 May '15

Any techies here testing the Windows 10? So far I have really learnt to hate it. I upgraded from Windows 8.1 - which worked super! Since then, I have only known pain. Windows 10 is just too slow on my PC. I have Quad Core, with 8GB RAM. RDP has the worst mood swings I have even seen since .... It works when I reboot. Then refuses. Then I disable/re-enable, then it works a little, then refuses - just authenicates, starts showing the screen and then closes! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."

Alvin, It's not an issue about MYOB, but this is a technical group where people discuss technical matters and there is no MYOB aspect in such. You are not a techie in the first place, right? So you don't even belong to this group! Remember I admitted you to this group despite that fact. So telling me to ignore technical issues and MYOB is telling me to kick you out in other words. Allow me to send you this as a WARNING in that case, especially because you've referred to me as "Headmaster". I will not feel any heartburn by kicking you out. I still remain the list Admin/Moderator and my role includes handling such questions as the one you send and which I 'advised' you about. Let's draw boundaries. This is not a sales platform.

Developer Economics

12 May '15

Developer Economics is the largest, most global app developer research & engagement program. Reaching up to 10,000 developers in over 140 countries, it’s considered the leader when it comes to tracking the app economy. Now in its 9th edition, the research program tracks developer sentiment across platforms, revenues, apps, tools, APIs, segments and regions. More importantly, Developer Economics delivers accurate and original information to developers and enterprises alike, by distilling data from VisionMobile’s semi-annual survey. Metrics include monetization for mobile and cloud, IoT popularity, desktop app positioning - and many more. With its most ambitious Developer Economics survey to date, VisionMobile invites developers to participate in a 10-minute survey and gain access to the same pool of knowledge that helps enterprises such as Intel, Google, and Amazon understand how the developer ecosystem evolves. As always, key findings from this research will be available as a free research report by the end of July. Take the survey here: http://vmob.me/DE3Q15Symbiotic ᐧ

Re: [Skunkworks] How do employers view online degrees?
by Paul Korir 11 May '15

11 May '15

"Once CHE approves a degree all Kenyan employers are bound to accept them" This statement is incomplete. To say that 'employers are bound to accept them' implies that it is illegal to employ someone from a programme that has not been approved by CHE. This would only be the case if you are hiring in the public sector (public service, civil service, parastatals etc.). As a private employer, you are free to employ anyone you please though it is in your interest to employ someone from a credible institution. CHE is trying to make the job easier for you but by no means constrains your freedom of choice. CHE is merely a guide but has no liability for your hiring choices nor would you (as an employer) have any obligation or responsibility to CHE for your hiring decisions. -- Regards, Paul K.

How do employers view online degrees?
by Paul Korir 11 May '15

11 May '15

Jayden, It might be the case that employers disdain online degree programmes. But software engineering as a discipline easily lends itself to demonstration. Besides, good employers are more interested in what you can do rather than how or where you got your degree and ultimately this is what counts. If I were in your position I would therefore put more emphasis on making what I learn demonstrable by having a living Github profile with work I have done. So whether or not employers look down on an online degree no one will question your real skill if you have substantial software output. -- Regards, Paul K. Korir, PhD +353 86 224 19 66 *Ordnung muß sein*

If the link is below 10mbps you can try flood ICMP traffic on both sides of the link.

Re: [Skunkworks] Advice on Cisco Router & Core Switch
by Peter Mugoh 08 May '15

08 May '15

Skunks, I would like to purchase either one of the above and I need advice on the way to go. We are looking at network segregation using different subnets on different VLANs and at the moment we assign IP's by using a Windows DHCP Server. I am not sure if Windows is able to handle assignment of DHCP on multiple subnets but from the little info I have gathered I understand this is easier done on either Cisco Router or Layer 3 Core switch. On our current setup we have Layer 2 2960 Catalyst switches and one 2901 Catalyst Router facing the internet before the Firewall. What would be the best way to set this up? You can inbox your number and I will be glad to call back. Thanks and regards, Peter Mugoh

Re: [Skunkworks] Leasing of Physical Servers
by Patrick Gmail 07 May '15

07 May '15

Hi Josphat, In regard to the above topic: A cloud server is simply a physical server whose services are accessed and consumed remotely. The physical servers could be located anywhere (in a client's server room/data centre or in a service provider's data centre). However, there are various deployment models i.e: 1) Private Cloud: This is owned or leased by a single organization and operated solely for that organization. 2) Public cloud: Owned by an organization that leases/sells cloud services to the general public or a large industry group. 3) Hybrid cloud: A combination of 2 or more clouds (i.e private, public or community) 4) Community Cloud: Shared by several organizations and supports a specific community In addition, the deployment models above enable cloud service consumers to get access to services via various models i.e: 1) SAAS (Software As A Service) - End-user applications delivered as a service, instead of on-premise software 2) PAAS (Platform As A Service) - Application platform or middleware as a service on which developers can build and deploy custom applications. 3) IAAS (Infrastructure As A Service) - Compute, storage or other IT infrastructure as a service, rather than dedicated capability. Now, back to what your friend needs; leasing a physical server which will enable him/her to avoid capex. There are 2 options: 1) High level security requirements - Lease a private cloud where dedicated servers are hosted and managed by a service provider 2) Standard level security requirements - Lease a public cloud where VPS servers are hosted and managed by a service provider Locally, these services are available from Safaricom, MTN, GG(GestaltGild), Angani among others. Otherwise, i don't think he will get a service provider who leases out physical servers and allows him to manage/host them wherever/however he fills like.

Custom software market
by Peter Karunyu 05 May '15

05 May '15

Dear members, So yesterday, a friend of mine bought a relatively well made and comprehensive school management system <http://codecanyon.net/item/ice-advanced-school-management-system/10452009> from codecanyon for about Kshs. 4000. Yes, you read that right, four thousand shillings (actually, it was less than that). That developer has sold 21 copies as of today. The app is made with CodeIgniter and runs off MySQL, and full source code is provided. This made me wonder, how will this impact our local software market?

Re: [Skunkworks] an Intellectual Property question
by Paul Korir 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hi, Here are my thoughts*: Intellectual property has many forms: copyright, patents, trademarks etc. and whether one ‘has a claim’ will depend on the nature of the property. Copyright applies to the actual representation used by an author but does not touch on the underlying semantics. Therefore, an author claims copyright for what they author but not the ideas. They cannot own the ideas. Software developers have automatic copyright for work they author except when their terms of employment explicitly deprive them of this right. Patents apply to a claim that the realisation of an idea is original and restrict anyone else from commercialising that realisation. Again, the person does not own the idea (only to the extent that they are the only ones who can realise it). For example, Safaricom might claim the process by which M-PESA works is original and thereby disclose it in return for the monopoly to effect it but they cannot claim the idea of money transfer via mobiles (because someone could always come up with an original way to do it that they did not anticipate). Trademarks apply to a symbol and claim it for exclusive use of trade. A claim against a trademark is irrespective of whether it is registered but it’s better to register to be on the safe side. In the cited scenario, the developer owns the realisation of the database using the scripts that he wrote but certainly not the structure of the database. For that, he would have to show that what he devised is a previously unthought of design for which he has been granted a patent. I doubt he has this. Therefore, if you reverse engineer the database you have not violated his rights because his rights were only restricted to the script he wrote. In fact, it could be argued that his realisation may be the most reasonable way in which that database could be designed, which would make it unpatentable (on grounds of being obvious). The only restriction would be if you signed a contract accepting that you would not reverse engineer the code. But if he would have issued such a clause then surely you would have put in place sufficient protection to prevent the current scenario.
