Found this in the kictanet list, thought it would spur a discussion here. There are words of truth in it, they will be tough to agree with especially if you're in a start up. But I somewhat agree, there is a lot of hype in tech here. The comments make for an interesting read. http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate-News/Kenya-s-technology-push-l…

Please Advice on Windows: .exe Stopping Before Launch
by Samuel Waithaka 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

Hello people Happy New Year, Need some help, this particular software stops every time it's started with an error, *MySoftware.exe has stopped working*. *Windows can check online solution to the problem etc..* >From event viewer logs, it seems to be a permissions issue, though I can confirm all permissions are granted to admin and system; except for *Special Permissions *which one can't change. The firewall is off and McAfee On-Access disabled. This happened on 2 servers, at the same time. Reinstalling the software does not make any difference. Installing the same on a different PC on same network however works normal. Anyone encountered such an issue? Any help will be much appreciated. -- Samuel Waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

Hi Mark, If you use a good quality coaxial cable you will be able to achieve what you want provided you have the power adopter(s) close ( less than 10m) to the camera. If not so use video balloons and 5amp power supplies for such distances assuming the cameras need 12v 0.5 amps power. You can get in touch with me for more info on the below contacts.

Looking for Developer (should be familiar with Moodle)
by nyarotho kennedy 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

Happy new year all, I need a seasoned developer to wok on a project for the next 3 to 4 months. The project involves development of a unique learning management system - foundation based on the open source Moodle project - https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding. In summary this means slight modifications (if necessary) to the moodle base code and development of new plugins e.g. reporting, simple CRM etc for moodle (this is the major part) Developer should primarily be well versed in PHP and have demonstrable programming experience and web experience (x)html/javascript <https://moodle.org/mod/glossary/showentry.php?eid=25&displayformat=dictiona…> /css <https://moodle.org/mod/glossary/showentry.php?eid=13&displayformat=dictiona…>. Dont come with papers please, be prepared to show what you can do (if you can have a simple plugin ready and show it works the assessment will be 1 minute long :) Terms: Initial fixed contract term basis. Upon successful completion of project (Go-live) a support contract renewable annually will be negotiated with the developer - the rates are very good. Drop me an email on kenyarotho(a)gmail.com indicating your experience, previous work done that demonstrates web programming knowledge, availability over the next 4-5 months (or how you plan to manage your time). The sooner you send the better. Include your mobile ohone number too. Regards, -- People should know when they are conquered.

Re: [Skunkworks] Android Mobile Antivirus

I may be wrong but I honestly don't think you need anti virus on phones. That is, unless you have jail broken it and download stuff off the official market. And even on those market, just never install anything unless you seriously need it. The whole mentality of anti virus is odd. Seriously, so you figure you have vulnerability and instead of fixing it, you have another software that also need update to cover for you? Why not just fix the venerability and get done with it? Anti virus are rarely helpful because they have to be updated after a problem is known. That was may be necessary when people downloaded shit from untrusted source but not with today markets.

Routing conference bridge
by maina 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Hi IPPBX experts, Am having some difficulties with the subject. Scenario: Call 123456789 >> call hits 1st IPPBX >>IVR plays >> you enter conference number/bridge >> 1st IPPBX routes the call to 2nd IPPBX which is on a different geographical location(this is where bridge is hosted). The issue am having is, 1st IPPBX is routing call as dialed eg 123456789 instead of routing confrence bridge eg 1122. Connectivity(Trunks and Routes) are working both ways. I have configured IVR on 1st IPPBX to route 1122 to a SIP trunk tht connects to 2nd IPPBX. Am able to connect to bridge if i connect direct to an extension on 1st IPPBX either through soft phone or desk phone. Am using distro from http://www.freepbx.org. Regards: David.

[Advert] Get easy commissions with Webonmobi
by Morgan Emali 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Hey everyone, I hope all is well. My firm, Webonmobi www.webonmobi.com is offering extremely generous commission packages to anyone that refers us to a new client. You DO NOT need to do any selling for us, just get us a meeting and we'll take care of everything else. We do all the selling, you just sit back and collect. The commission will be 10% of the first year's ENTIRE contract. So for example, if your referral signs a 6-month contract for Ksh. 40,000 a month, that's a Ksh. 24,000 cheque/Cash made out to you, UP FRONT. In another example, a client could sign a 35000 per month contract for one year, that's Ksh. 42000 in commission! If you are an employee of a firm and you refer your boss, we will STILL pay you a commission (and your commission agreement is kept CONFIDENTIAL!) WHAT WE DO: Our firm specializes in Digital and Internet marketing. Our clients DO NOT need to have a website to make use of these services: -Google Optimization (Getting to the first page of national and local Google searches for certain keywords) -Social Media Marketing (Designing a fanpage rapidly gaining thousands of fans and managing Twitter and Facebook every month) -Content Marketing – Running a blog for our clients and getting them more vistors and clients through their website. -Email Marketing -Mobile Application Design (iPod/iPhone/iPad) These methods lead directly to more business for our clients and pay for themselves within months. PLACES TO LOOK FOR REFERRALS: Friends / Family with new or growing businesses Doctors/Dentists Your clients or the clients of your firm Your own firm Restaurants / Local Businesses If you think you know anyone who's business could use these services (that's essentially everyone) then please get in touch with me to discuss how we can arrange a meeting. Again, I hope all is well. Sincerely, Emali Morgan m(a)webonmobi.com 0719510136
