Looking for interns
by Billy 17 Jul '14

Thought I'd forward this for those that might be interested. Please do not forward the emails to me. Email address is at the bottom. ======== For these particular roles we are looking for people who are familiar working with the web backends and are not afraid to get their hands dirty with UI. Both of these are very important and preference will be given to those who can demonstrate such familiarity - what you'd generally call a full-stack developer. *Required:* - Familiarity with Web Frameworks such as Code Igniter/Kohana (PHP) / Django/Flask (Python) / Rails (Ruby). - Experience with UI Frameworks such as Bootstrap/Foundation. - Experience will be to their own benefit as they will have to hit the ground running. *CMSes (Joomla, Wordpress etc) do not count. There might also be one role for an Android Developer (subject to how skilled they are). While all this is important, if they do not have much experience but have enough drive that they are willing to spend some sleepless nights *learning*, then we can still consider them. If you think this is a fit for you send your CV to info(a)nailab.co.ke ======== -Billy

Postal Services in Kenya
by Odhiambo Washington 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

I have just realized that www.emskenya.co.ke is not any more available. Actually, it was deregistered, from what I see on KENiC website. Yet, you go to the Postal Corporation (is it really a Corporation??) website and there is reference to EMS Kenya, linked to the website. The PCK website is what I'd call a dead website, but I am not a webdev so maybe there is another better word for it. This got me thinking. What is it that stops PCK from having a functional website like the USPS one? Does PCK run without an IT Department to handle such things or is it the lack of competent webdevs to replicate what is on www.usps.com? I doubt if it's the later. Interestingly though, if you take a peek at http://www.posta.co.ke/home.asp, you get this feeling that someone tried this, but failed. Reasons? I don't know. The host hilarious one though is when you try and find contacts: http://www.posta.co.ke/page.asp?pageid=20 Someone give me an alternative to puking, because I don't easily puke unless it's malarial. Do I have a right to demand that PCK have a functional website?? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."

Nairobi County Website - part 2
by Adam Nelson 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Skunks, I decided to create a new thread around where Nairobi County ( http://nairobi.go.ke) and other local agencies should host their websites. Nairobi County and any government agency should use whatever services allow them to get the most value for their money. That is taxpayer money and it should be spent wisely. I'm no fan of governments blindly buying local and Amazon has an extremely good product. I'm actually really happy that they're on Amazon and not on GoDaddy or something low grade like that. I'm also very happy that they're on Amazon and not one of the entrenched local vendors with terrible service and terrible value. The choice of Amazon shows that the tech people who implemented the Nairobi County site have some chops. However, there is no county or agency budget that is so thin that a difference of a few thousand shillings a year for better hosting isn't worth the extra money. I can guarantee that the weekly airtime allotment for a high level Nairobi county employee is more than the annual hosting bill for this website - no matter where it's hosted. Developers must demand top tools for their work when it comes to paid projects. I understand that if it's just a hobby one wants to get the cheapest possible solution - but when it comes to a professional site, hosting is going to cost somewhere between 2-5% of the annual budget. For a one-off low-cost project, hosting is probably going to cost 100k Kshs ( 15k for the hosting provider and 85k for the people to do all the security updates, monitor the site, make sure updates are made to support new browsers, etc...). And then of course, for really complex websites, you're talking about $1M/year in operations costs and on up from there. Hosting is not where you want to be cheap because the entire cost is under 5% of the budget and because the right choice with hosting can really have a significant impact on your metrics. Of course, there are cheaper options. For instance our main homepage is totally free because it's hosted on Github. Here's the site: http://kili.io Here's the code: https://github.com/kili/kili.github.io But it's not 'free' really. James and myself at Kili keep that thing running - and we consume money. Github does the hard work but we make sure that the copy is up to date, that it renders well, etc... There are three reasons to consider a local host. First off, you might have trouble even being able to pay for Amazon. What if you're a local SME that wants to pay with direct wire, or you're a developer without a credit card. No problem, Kili accepts both wire transfers and MPesa. Second, what about data? At some point, Nairobi County is going to want to allow citizens to see information about tax payments on a plot of land. Is it really smart to keep that data in Europe where about a thousand different entities can sue to access that data? It's probably safer in Kenya where Nairobi County has a stronger ability to manage the data as they see fit. When we're talking about health and financial data this becomes pretty serious. Third, let's talk about latency. Within Nairobi, it's not 50ms to reach the Kili host, it's 10ms. To reach the Nation, it's 140ms. People say that nobody notices milliseconds but what about when a website has more than 100 HTTP requests, and they block because browsers will only do so many at a time. What about streaming - which really suffers? The Nation takes 6.65 seconds for the DOM to be available and 7.26 seconds for the site to be fully loaded. That's not including async stuff that happens afterwards. There are over 200 requests by that time. For them to host on Kili would drop the site load time down to under 1 second and probably boost the number of page views by twofold. Page views are how media companies make money. This third point should not be lost on the government side either. It's obvious that local media business will make more money once they move locally and the managers who make that happen will DEFINITELY be rewarded with promotions. The government sites don't make money, so who cares? That misses the point because civil servants and consultants who build and maintain those sites can improve their careers immensely. You don't think that if the person in charge of that site, when he or she shows Kidero that page views went up 30/40/50/100% won't get rewarded for that? Those are voters and that website is the platform by which elected politicians and their staff get their message out and advance in their own career. This stuff really matters and it's not just milliseconds - it's votes and agendas. Anyway, this has been a long post and I just wanted to thank everybody for reading it. Since I do know some of you are using VPSes on unpaid projects with minimal budgets, or are students, we're offering a very special deal. Anybody who signs up (click 'Sign Up' on http://kili.io) and tops up with $15 (Credit Card) or 1,200 Kshs (Mpesa) will get a $100 credit. All you have to do is send me an email to request the credit and ideally point out one thing you would like us to change about Kili. This is as cheap as it gets because we know that when people see how much better it is to be local, they'll never go back. Cheers, Adam P.S. - This was important enough that I put it on my blog too ( http://varud.com) P.P.S. - @peter the biggest cost is people, not electricity or bandwidth. Even when we're at scale, colo costs are less than half of the operating expenditure. This is great news though because it means that first-tier public cloud technology can work in Africa even though bandwidth and electricity are comparatively expensive. -- Kili - Cloud for Africa: kili.io Musings: twitter.com/varud <https://twitter.com/varud> More Musings: varud.com About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson

Is there a way to find out who the criminal is using available tools? scenario Tom my friend has an email account tom.rafiki(a)bestservices.not email used for the offence tom.rafiki(a)outlook.com In the email, tom 'the fake' says that he does not want to use his official email so that the corrupt deal is not traced back to him. The real tom has a hard time trying to prove that this was not him. My questions (i) Is it possible for one to get info from outlook on such matters say -date of registration of the email? (ii) Are there options out there to flash out Tom the fake? I'm trying to be creative to no avail Rgds *_______________________________________________________________We must Keep on, We can't stop here *

Re: [Skunkworks] POS Quotation for mid-sized store

@ Allan If your are serious buyer EasySale POS is here to stay and conquer. You would do much help if you can define your needs(important features) than stating a size of your store.Your store can grow overnight ,I wonder if you would replace the inflexible software already in operation. Easy Sale POs is seriously very scalable and flexible right away. With multi stores, locations,multi currency,payment types that you accept(cash,deposit,gift cards, cheque,M-Pesa you define them),each store with multiple Sales Points,..set up can be 1. Localized servers(Branch-HQ) with synch, import/export 2. Centralized server with nods span into LAN/WAN. 3.Etc. No none,sense close of day to get your stock level.Everything is in realtime.With all these EasySale POS looks very simple and not that Flush.Some features you will realize later and wonder why other POS Pruducts miss them. -- Regards, Nicholas Peter.* Kinpro Computers.* *Box:*16954,Arusha. *Tel :*+255 732 972287. *Mobile**:* +255 754 914652 *Email: *kinprocomputers(a)gmail.com =============================================== Products: Software systems for :School management, Point of Sale, and Property Manager Message: 4 Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2014 17:29:50 +0300 From: "Allan O." <allayy(a)gmail.com> To: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Subject: [Skunkworks] POS Quotation for mid-sized store Message-ID: <CAENV4bm1e+tG0= 4e54T9NqOn4ZvBJX36BVT=RKBMC+9sHLSLXA(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi guys, Kindly email me a POS Software quotation for a mid-sized store.

Bob Collymore last week had different opinion .... saying that the thin sim could even compromise your primary sim.... Technophobic Kenyans were up in arms.... On Jul 8, 2014 11:00 PM, "Nick Wambugu" <nick.wambugu(a)gmail.com> wrote: How can Safaricom stop this technology though since the SIM card belongs to me, I bought it and can transfer the line to another provider if I want to. I would be happy to use Airtel together with Equity if that combination will provide me with better and cheaper calls and money transfer services. Kind regards, ____________________ Nick Wambugu I think it would still be possible. This is because this does not hinder the functionality of the primary sim, what it does is that it makes a single sim phone a dual sim phone. Therefore I think the sim locking situation will not affect its functionality.

Thin SIM is a thin layer of plastic with circuit printed on it. A user can stick it to his existing SIM and continue using the original network, with the added functionality of the second provider. I see so much possibility on this Thin SIM technology. We can have micro-service providers with innovators providing SIM based services targeted to a demographic of choice. I can't wait for this with equity promising a maximum of 25bob for PESA transactions. I'm thinking if the phone is locked, would Thin SIM still be possible?
