Re: [Skunkworks] Airtel KE & Caller ID misnomer: BEWARE Hiding Caller ID

> "....why would you hide your ID when calling party X (Allow) .....why will > device manufacture not allow party X block hidden calls (Not allow)." then > u ask me...... Why not just remove all choice from everyone's lives? Now you are not being rational here. Airtel have little control of your life. It start and end with your phone. If we were talking about Kenyatta, that question would make sense. > (Airtel has removed it) How would you feel if you had no choices? (I will > nothing because there are no choices) > Underlying fact: People use Hide Caller ID because it is there, if it were > not there, no one will call X with Unknown worst to say Flash with Unknown There is a cost a carrier pay for allowing hiding caller ID. They swallow the cost it take to track down the caller when law enforcement come looking for it. Airtel may have just looked at how much that adds up monthly against the number of people hiding their ID and concluded its financially more prudent to lockout anybody hiding ID. A completely business decision. I doubt its anyway other than profit optimization Muriithi

looking for the bestell ceo
by John Doe Smith Kamau KipNg'etich Jones 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Hi, Anyone with his contacts, kindly hola. I've been waiting for a "yes/no" reply over a warranty issue from the managerial stuff (at the bestel kimathi shop) for three weeks now (and I'm such a nag, calling each weekday asking for the reply). I email the staff my reasons for demanding a warranty replacement, finally asking if "in light of the above reasons, will you (or will you not) replace the item with under warranty service". Three weeks waiting.... and now they just hang up on me when I call, or place the phone on the table (after which I proceed to talk to myself [which isn't as bad as you think by the way]). But alas, they see me as a mere single customer... why should they give a care for a mere nagging single customer? Don't they have thousands more? Needless to say, their customer service is excellent...... excellently hands-off [... hands off the phone, and email] So, hola with the ceo contacts, or inform them of him/her of my predicament

Airtel KE & Caller ID misnomer: BEWARE Hiding Caller ID will prevent you from making calls on Airtel Network!!
by Odhiambo Washington 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

First of all, sorry for cross-posting. I have spend a better part of today on calls with Airtel Customer Care, an Airtel Techie and an Airtel Customer Care Team Leader trying to figure out why a colleague could not make calls from his line. If he dialled any number, it would not go, with 'Check Operator Services' being displayed on the screen. More than 10 calls to Airtel and all I was being told is 'do a lock-up', 'we've refreshed the line', 'do a lock-up' and all this didn't solve Finally at 1620hrs, I call the number for Customer Care Team Leader and he asks me to check the SenderID setting under 'Call Settings' on the phone. I find that 'Send Caller ID' is set to disabled. He tells me to enable it and then try calling and voila! I am able to call. So I ask him why so and he tells me that on Airtel's network, if you hide Caller ID, you will NOT be able to make calls. I tested that option on my own phone and for sure I am not able to call, but at least it tells me 'Check Caller ID sending'... I tested that option on another phone with Safaricom SIM Card and I was able to make calls to Airtel, Safaricom, Landline... Someone please tell me what this is supposed to achieve, besides the fact that I believe this setting should be set at the pleasure of the phone user.When did CCK introduce this legislation and why is Safaricom (and probably other MNOs) not adhering to it?? IIRC, nowhere in my contract with Airtel did they mention that it's their discretion to decide on this option. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."

This is what we learnt when setting up http://www.kenyapowertokens.com/ The API KPLC gives you returns tonnes of info to show how any purchase will be broken down ... its like 6-7 lines ... we removed it from the web ... when you buy ... and token is sent back ... you get the same info ... Something like ... {"status":1,"TotalDebt":"647","vendor":"pesapal","meterNo":"xxxxx","TotalTax":"13386","MonthlyFC":"12000","ForexCharge":"899","stdTokenTax":"0","stdTokenAmt":"34845","REPCharge":"1742","ERCCharge":"553","token":"xxxxxx","stdTokenRctNum":"xxxxxx","units":"69.3","totalAmount":"1000","transactionId":1103721,"FuelIndexCharge":"35928","ref":"xxxxxx","customerName":"xxxxxx"} but we only send the token, mtr number and amount ... Data is there ... Buy a token on www.kenyapowertokens.com , when you get it ... go to check previous tokens... you will see the full breakdown I just advertised without breaking skunkworks rules ... waiting for Washington's wrath ... #ducks

Don't blame you, look like a lot of people have, but fortunately not majority. The most funny was HP going with salesforce. That was retarded for two good reasons: 1) How do they expect other people to trust you to provide services if they can't even manage their shit? It create a wrong perception in my opinion. 2) Its financially expensive long run. Think of it for a second. They pay per account for thousands of employees annually. I see no way they could spend that kind of money if they invested initially to buy hardware and necessary software and then have 5 guys run that gig. For a company in financial distress, that would be a prudent thing to do. There are reasons why cloud is not a good solutions always. Security being one. If you are in health industry, you better not put you stuff on Google etl, since NSA is going to be poking around them. That might be a problem if the industry you are in have laws that don't entertain that activities. That being said, cloud is good for small start up business.

Wonder what's driving him off 365? Price? Sorry for nosing around a bit, but such details are good to share to help others make good decisions in future. I think you should also say more on what he currently have on office365? Is it just mails? Documents? Active directory? It help you get better response. Will be petty involving if you have your identify infrastructure on cloud. If its just mail, he just need to setup split delivery first and all new mails will go to both office365 and Google apps. Then he need to install 'Google apps migration for exchange' and get used to it by migrating several mail boxes. When he is ready, its just a matter of scheduling a weekend to migrate all mails and adjust the MX record. Keep the slip delivery so that its easy to roll back in case of issues. Do make certain though all your clients applications have been repointed to Google apps else there may be surprise when you pull the plug on office365 Its also prudent to install outlook plugin from Google. Since Google apps no longer use exchange active sync, the plugin allow your users to keep using outlook without loosing any feature because of luck of active sync. Its a pleasant exercise though I have never done identify migration. I just know enough to fuck up active directory .

Laptop Thief.
by charles kungu 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Be wary of this laptop thief. He came to our office posing as a customer in the evening at around 6 when everyone was either out or leaving and the security was lax. He proceeded to steal 2 laptops mine included. I hear that they operate as a cartel and frequent offices that are outside the CBD in the evenings when people are leaving the office coz that's when they cant be easily noticed or questioned. All in all I managed to track and recover my laptop but the guy is still at large. Here is the link<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZCxLyKeXFE&feature=youtu.be> to the cctv footage -- Regards, C . K

Well, cannibalism would real be a serious issue before ,groups can find right guys.In Kenya I think guyz should learn the harder way how,to direct clients to his fellows for services they cant offer,and those fellow should learn how to pay back either thru commissioning or thru referring back clients .

iMac gray screen
by Vic Mek 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

I have an iMac (on Mavericks) that immediately on boot, and after the apple logo, goes into a gray screen, and does not progress past this. A hardware test shows that nothing is wrong (though i know that this is a very basic test), and I am currently trying to do a restore from Time Machine backup (6 hours away). I am operating on the assumption that if it is a hardware error (video card/memory/HDD) it will show up at some point during the restore. This may be a very wrong assumption. So, in the meantime, has anyone on the list experienced anything like this? And how was it solved? Secondly, in case this does not work, who are the best guys in town for repair? Where best = reasonably priced + know what they are doing+will not tell me to wait forever to have it fixed? Thanks. Mek.

Hi Steve, Since you are already in such a setup, could you probably share the kind of agreement you signed for the arrangement. I am keen on the details.

Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units
by Jimmy Thuo 08 Feb '14

That means there is a logic flaw in the prepaid billing graduated tarrif. Buying 120 units at a go or buying them in batches of 40 all within 30 days should cost the same. Coz if I buy 40, it should keep in mind/memory that the next batch I buy, only 10 units will be on the first tarrif. The rest should be on the next tarrif band.

Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units
by Job Muriuki 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

I gave up on trying to approximate how much the number of units might cost. Once I bought units worth 1000 sh and got 64 units only to buy more the same month worth 1200 sh and received 58 units. On enquiry I was told the moment I went over 50 units that month I was payin about 6 or 7 times per kwh as compared to 50 units and below. I think they need to publish this costs to help someone budget, Power in Kenya is just not manageable, too expensive and most of the time unreliable.

Correction where it says 3600 should be 2600. ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Steve Obbayi" <steve(a)sobbayi.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Viernes, 7 de Febrero 2014 19:17:42 | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units | Surely it cant be that complicated. Its the way you buy units that's | making you lose out. Look at this example. These are rough | calculations just to illustrate the general idea | 1. If you buy units in bulk say like 200 units you pay 19 per unit | for 200 units.... | Here you spend about 4000bob | or save by breaking it down at the cut off points like so | buy 50 units and pay 2bob per unit. | then buy another 50 units and pay 12 per unit. | then buy the last 100 units at 19 per unit | Here you spend 3600bob. | Notice in both cases you end up with 200 units so in general, | separating you bill at the cut off points saves you money as opposed | to buying in one chunk. | 2. If you buy in bulk and it spans more than to months then, the next | time you buy you will be deducted the 120 x No. of months missed | before you are given your units. | The fluctuations from the diesel etc are small fluctuations that | shouldn't cause you too loose too much sleep | Steve | ----- Original Message ----- | | From: "Mark Mwangi" <mwangy(a)gmail.com> | | | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> | | | Sent: Viernes, 7 de Febrero 2014 18:37:37 | | | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units | | | People there are no arguments here just a lively discussion.

PHP - Oracle Insert
by Samuel Waithaka 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Hi everyone, I could use some help here; has anyone executed an insert statement into Oracle using PHP? I have done a select but insert won't work at all, either through the classic way, or using PDO. It shows activity forever, but doesn't throw any error. However, if there's say a syntax error in the SQL, it is quickly picked. What could I be missing. Will appreciate some help. -- Samuel Waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units

Interesting thread. Looks like we need a hashtag for guys to vote on the best hashtag for this KPLC token thing. Anyway, I'm no lawyer, but I remember reading in some act that power utility providers ought to give a breakdown - on the bill - of how they arrive at the amount charged. I think Kenya Power are in violation of that (unless the act was amended). For me buying power tokens somewhat feels like an act of charity. S.

Re: [Skunkworks] Kenya Power Prepaid units
by Tony Likhanga 07 Feb '14

While you wait for the outcome to your petitions, here's what I know about this whole matter 1. Lots of customers (both prepaid & postpaid) have recently noticed a sharp increase in their electricity bills for fairly the same consumption over a period of time. Is KPLC playing monkey games? 2. KPLC favours customers with lower consumption rates by penalising those considered as 'heavy users'. For pre-paid users, it's been reported that you get more value for your money if you split your monthly consumption into multiple smaller tokens as opposed to when you purchase one single token (hence bundled into the 'heavy user' band) I'm on postpaid and my last bill did shoot up. I'll analyse the observations when I get the chance, as well as post some link to some of the claims when I dig it up. Tony.
