An advert goes like this; For 3Mbps, pay a monthly fee of 10,000ksh. This is meant for email and internet for a small office of up to 10 people...... What?!! For those of you who remember the pre-faiba days of Kenstream and Jambonet and Kenpac etc, when a 64Kbps link used to be shared by an office with 100+ guys, and popping mail over a dial-up connection, what goes through your mind?

The digital Migration fiasco
by Kevin Omondi 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

Skunks I cam across this commentary and thought it nice to share.What are your thoughts What are the Fundamentals in the Digital Migration: The current media market can be described as an Oligopoly. Those that have studied Economics will agree that dismantling any Oligopolistic system that has been entrenched for decades is not very easy. According to research agency Mill ward Brown East Africa, the top 20 companies and the government spent more than 27 billion shillings in advertising last year. With the Analogue system- the level of investment in setting up TV network was beyond any average business man or woman. Setting up the technical infrastructure to distribute the Analogue signal was very costly. In addition, due to restricted frequency space- Nairobi could not accommodate more than 18 Channels. These two factors virtually made Television Business a preserve of the Billionaires. However, with the Digital System changes all that. First, Nairobi will have the capacity of hosting more than 100 TV Channels since the high-tech system allows for that. Second, the cost of setting up a TV Station has drastically fallen. According to CCK Determination No. 1 of 2013 on Cost-Based Terrestrial Digital Broadcast Signal Distribution Tariff issued last week, Digital Signal Distributors shall charge broadcasters at Kshs. 125,990per MB for Nairobi and Ksh.93,202.75per MB for other sites in Kenya. What this means is this: Any Kenyan with as little as kshs 1 million will be able to own a TV Station, and broadcast. What is the implication? Simple: I can start a TV Station that targets specific segments of the society like Sports Enthusiasts, Healthy Living Enthusiasts, and Religious Issues- at a very low cost. With CCK ordering that the charges be per MB, I can choose to have my TV Channel Broadcast only during peak hours when my target audience is at home. As my viewership grows, I shall start getting adverts, thus generate income. Now, this explains why the Oligopoly is hitting back. Within five years- the market shall be transformed from an Oligopoly to a Perfect Competition Market. It means that much of those 27 billion shillings that goes to the top four media houses will now be distributed to SHAHIDI TV, Kamau TV Network and Wafula TV et al.

Listers, FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephanie Borg Psaila <stephaniep(a)diplomacy.edu> Date: Tue, Dec 24, 2013 at 4:46 PM Subject: Call for applications: Introduction to Internet Governance To: igcbp(a)diplomacy.edu Dear colleagues, DiploFoundation is accepting applications for the upcoming online course, Introduction to Internet Governance <http://www.diplomacy.edu/courses/IGCBP-foundation>. The course details are right below; for further questions, you can get in touch via ig(a)diplomacy.edu If you have already taken the course, we would appreciate if you could forward this information and add your recommendation to anyone who can benefit from the course. We take the opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a happy festive season and a prosperous New Year! Best, Stephanie -- Stephanie Borg Psaila DiploFoundation www.diplomacy.edu Introduction to Internet Governance *Course details:* *Internet Governance (IG) may be more important to you than you realise.* Have you been reading and worrying about the Snowden revelations? Does online surveillance concern you and your colleagues? These are important IG issues. Learning more about IG will help you understand these personal and professional issues, and what can and should be done about them. Net neutrality? Privacy in online storage? Guidelines for cross-border Internet issues? How can regulators enhance and protect without interfering with the innovative principles that are the core of the Internet? The 10-week Introduction to Internet Governance online course introduces IG policy and covers main issues, including Infrastructure and Standardisation, Legal, Economic, Sociocultural, and Development aspects, and a section on IG processes and actors. The course covers broadband policy; management of domain names and IP addresses, including the transition from IPv4 to IPv6; network neutrality; jurisdiction, intellectual property rights, open source and piracy; privacy protection; data security and cybersecurity; child protection; human rights; content management; digital signatures; emerging issues such as policies related to social networks and cloud computing, and more, with space for regional and other issues raised by the participants. By the end of the course, participants should be able to: - Understand Internet-related terminology, concepts and issues - Understand the international aspects of Internet governance - Identify institutional and negotiation aspects of Internet governance - Explain the various regional and professional understandings and approaches to Internet governance - Engage in the Internet governance policy processes in their countries and regions, as well as in global policy processes. The course forms part of Diplo's Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme <http://www.diplomacy.edu/courses/IGCBP> Foundation Phase. Excerpt from course materials *‘...IG is sometimes used interchangeably with Internet regulation and Internet policy. Although there is a considerable overlap, there are still specific differences between these concepts. Regulation implies the existence of legal rules with prescriptions of behaviour and sanctions, while policy is a broader term, usually referring to a plan to guide decisions and actions.’* Course outline The Introduction to Internet Governance online course includes one week of hypertext practice and platform familiarisation and introduction, and 8 in-depth course texts. Course topics include: - Introduction to Internet governance: issues, processes and actors; evolution, international context, basic terminology, guiding principles; - Infrastructure and Standardisation Basket: infrastructure, TCP/IP, DNS, Root Servers, Internet Service Providers, economic models, security, Network Neutrality; - Legal Basket: legal mechanisms, jurisdiction, arbitration, Intellectual Property Rights, cybercrime; - Economic Basket: e-commerce, e-banking, and e-money; - Socio-Cultural Basket: content policy, privacy and data protection, multilingualism and cultural diversity; - Development Basket: the Digital Divide, access to knowledge, capacity development - Process (WSIS, IGF, ICANN), and actors (ICANN, RIR, ISOC, UN, ITU, regional organisations, governments, private sector, civil society) *Who should apply:* Diplo seeks applications from the following, from both developed and developing countries: - Officials in government ministries, departments, or institutions dealing with Information Society, Internet and ICT-related policy issues (e.g. telecommunications, education, foreign affairs, justice); - Postgraduate students, academics and researchers in the IG field (e.g. in telecommunications, electrical engineering, law, economics, development studies); - Civil society activists in the IG and Information Society fields; - Journalists covering IG issues; and - Individuals in Internet business-related fields (e.g. ISPs, software developers). This course may also be of interest to: - Journalists, staff of international and non-governmental organisations, translators, business people and others who interact with diplomats and wish to improve their understanding of diplomacy-related topics. - Postgraduate students or practitioners in other fields seeking an entry point into the world of diplomacy. - Postgraduate students of diplomacy or international relations wishing to study topics not offered through their university programmes or diplomatic academies and to gain deeper insight through interaction with practising diplomats. - Practising diplomats, civil servants, and others working in international relations who want to refresh or expand their knowledge on the subject, under the guidance of experienced practitioners and academics. *Methodology:* This course is conducted online over a period of ten weeks, including one week of classroom orientation, eight weeks of dynamic class content and activities, and one week for the final assignment. Reading materials and tools for online interaction are provided through an online classroom. Each week, participants read the provided lecture texts, adding comments, references, and questions in the form of hypertext entries. The tutor and other participants read and respond to these entries, creating interaction based on the lecture text. During the week, participants complete additional online activities (e.g. further discussion via blogs or forums or quizzes). At the end of the week, participants and tutors meet online in a chat room to discuss the week’s topic. Courses are based on a collaborative approach to learning, involving a high level of interaction. This course requires a minimum of eight to ten hours of study time per week. The course materials, the e-learning platform, and the working language of the course is English. Applicants should consider whether their reading and writing skills in English are sufficient to follow postgraduate level materials and discussion. Spanish, Portuguese, and French options may be offered. Please request more information if you are interested in a second language option. In addition to English-speaking groups, bilingual groups may be formed for the course, having English as the primary language, and either Arabic, French, Spanish, or Portuguese as the secondary language for communication and interaction. This option will be offered depending on the needs of the applicants. Applicants to the bilingual groups (if offered) are asked to note that both languages are considered working languages within these groups. Reading and writing skills in English must be sufficient to understand learning materials and instructions, and for basic communication and interaction. Reading and writing skills in the second language must be sufficient for discussion and research purposes. Please request more information if you are interested in a second language option. Participants are invited to join Diplo’s global Internet governance online community of over 1,400 members, and to attend monthly webinars and other IG-related events and activities. *Prerequistes:* Applicants for the *certificate course* must have: - Basic IG knowledge and/or experience of the multistakeholder approach in international affairs; - Sufficient ability in the English language to undertake postgraduate level studies (including reading academic texts, discussing complex concepts with other course participants, and submitting written essay assignments). - Fluency in the second language for the applicants to any of the bilingual groups (if offered); - Regular access to the Internet (dial-up connection is sufficient, although broadband is preferable); - A minimum of 8-10 hours commitment per week, and the readiness to participate in class online sessions (once a week at specified times).

Fwd: Javascript Question
by Bwana Lawi 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi Joseph, >From your explanation, and several internet searches, it looks like what I am looking for is not possible/doable :( As I mentioned, this is a webapp running on jboss. All the user does is click on an option. For instance, a simple report showing list of countries: [image: Inline image 2] When the user clicks on Print to Server, the request is sent back to the reporting server and a physical file is created in a directory on the server. Then the response below is sent to the user: [image: Inline image 4] All I want is to access the COUNTRY.txt from js. Vanilla js, not ajax. It's not possible to recreate the variables/parameters being sent to the jboss server classes. NB: There are 2 servers at play here: jboss (middleware) and the reporting server.

Thanks Steve, I am actually interested in the first part of your answer. The use of ajax to get the contents of the response. The response, in this case, "Report printed successfully: abcd.txt" comes as the body of the popup window. Meaning I somehow have to access that window and read the content. Extracting the filename string is easy, dont worry about that

Javascript Question
by Bwana Lawi 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hi guys, First off, let me confess that this might be a difficult question to answer since the details I will provide may be sketchy. Scenario: We are running a webapp hosted on jboss. As is the norm, the solution has javascript, java, xslt code, etc in it. And it being a proprietary software, much of the workings are hidden in java code. >From the web-based front end, when running a report, there is an option to "print to file" When clicked, the system will do 2 things: 1. Create a text file in a preset folder 2. Open a new popup window with the message "Report printed successfully: abcd.txt" where abcd.txt is the filename of the created file. The print to file option calls a js script that submits the report data for printing to the browser servlet (I presume). That's as far as I went with the debugging. Once the form was submitted, the next thing I see is the popup window. I am interested in how I can intercept the filename variable (most probably from js). I want to write a program that copies the file to another site/folder.

Peugeot 307 SW 2007 VS Honda Airwave 2007

Hi All, I know this is a tech forum but allow me. I am deciding on getting either of the above car models, but would be keen to get input from other car owners as well. I feel the Peugeot looks nice on the eye, but a little expensive to maintain. Not sure of the build quality though. The honda airwave obviously comes cheap with spares easy to find. Anyone care to share their opinions which of the two I should go for and why? My uses are very simple. To and from office/work daily. Maybe a short trip once in every two/three months. Basically a good family car. Thanks. ./Jay

On Access points and streaming video via wifi
by Silas Savali 19 Dec '13

We are currently planning a party for a friend and I wanted to load some videos on a server then hook it up with these powerful outdoor AP (its a big hotel) then have all the guests log in and stream the video(via XMBC or MediaTomb) to their devices (720p and higher video mark you) I have several questions 1. Do these Access Points have a maximum no of users who can be connected? 2. Do they have a maximum bandwith? 3. What are the disadvantages of these idea and what should I watch out for? I haven't made a decision on which to buy so go ahead and suggest whatever you think has the highest no of simultaneous users and bandwith

Re: [Skunkworks] POS & ETR Connection

Therz a guy who did this connection, earlier versions of dynamics do not support the opos fiscal printer device. So it was an interface to read a text file from dynamics receipt then print to the fiscal device. That's the solution I've heard of. Not sure if latest version of dynamics has opos fp support if it does and you upgrade I can help you configure that.

set_rcvar

Hello all, I have a script that has the following line in it: echo "rcvar=`set_rcvar`" >> /usr/local/etc/rc.d/trytond when I run it i encounter this error /xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/ghealthscripts/5: line 27: set_rcvar: command not found The script was designed for freeBSD and I am using Fedora. Also, while digging around I found that rcvar is being (or has already) been killed. Does anyone know of a work-around that I can use?

Cisco configuration - Failover for outbout (Internet) traffic
by Odhiambo Washington 14 Dec '13

14 Dec '13

Hello Cisco gurus, I need a third eye here. I am configuring a Cisco 1841 so that I can get failover for outbout (Internet) traffic when ISP link goes down. I decided to base my config on route-maps. I have installed a 3G card, and configured it to work with Safaricom. For some very strange reason (hence the third eye need) the automatic failover doesn't appear to work correctly. When I unplug the other ISP's cable, I can go out via 3G though. I am doubting my routes configuration, but I am not sure this is it: p route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 JTL-GW-IP ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Cellular0/0/0 10 " Having looked at safaricom's 3G IP assignments, I am wondering if instead of using "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Cellular0/0/0 10", I could just do "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.64.64.64 10" ?? Well, I am not even sure that is the problem. PS: Don't worry about the passwords. They are already obfuscated. Here is my whole config: Current configuration : 4601 bytes ! version 12.4 service timestamps debug datetime msec service timestamps log datetime msec service password-encryption ! hostname C1841-FOOBAR ! boot-start-marker boot-end-marker ! enable secret 5 $1$S.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ! no aaa new-model dot11 syslog ip cef ! ! no ip dhcp use vrf connected ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.10 ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.0.210 192.168.0.254 ! ip dhcp pool FOOBAR network 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 netbios-name-server 192.168.0.2 domain-name FOOBAR.local default-router 192.168.0.1 dns-server 196.201.225.18 196.201.225.19 lease 0 2 ! ! ip domain name FOOBAR.local ip name-server 196.201.225.18 ip name-server 196.201.225.19 ip name-server 41.222.10.26 ! multilink bundle-name authenticated chat-script gsm "" "ATDT*99#" TIMEOUT 30 CONNECT ! ! ! ! username admin privilege 15 secret 5 $1$k8ao$InezrCcTAPQKNh1iVPhJH. username tech0 privilege 15 secret 5 $1$z0I3$ynm.qXVzt57atF1OZDSdG1 archive log config hidekeys ! ! ! ! ip ssh version 2 ! ! ! interface FastEthernet0/0 description lan ip address 192.168.40.250 255.255.255.0 no ip proxy-arp ip nat inside ip virtual-reassembly no ip route-cache cef no ip route-cache shutdown duplex auto speed auto no cdp enable ! interface FastEthernet0/1 description WAN - 2/2Mbps to JTL ip address NN.NN.NN.NN 255.255.255.252 ip nat outside ip virtual-reassembly shutdown duplex auto speed auto ! interface Cellular0/0/0 description 3G Internet with Safaricom ip address negotiated ip nat outside ip virtual-reassembly encapsulation ppp dialer in-band dialer idle-timeout 0 dialer string gsm dialer-group 1 async mode interactive ppp chap hostname saf ppp chap password 7 0000121205 ppp ipcp dns request ppp ipcp route default ! ip forward-protocol nd ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 JTL-GW-IP ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Cellular0/0/0 10 ! ! no ip http server no ip http secure-server ip nat inside source route-map JTL interface FastEthernet0/1 overload ip nat inside source route-map SAFCOM interface Cellular0/0/0 overload ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.0.2 1234 NN.NN.NN.NN 1234 extendable ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.0.2 3389 NN.NN.NN.NN 3389 extendable ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.0.2 8081 NN.NN.NN.NN 8081 extendable ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.0.2 8082 NN.NN.NN.NN 8082 extendable ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.0.2 8083 NN.NN.NN.NN 8083 extendable ! ip access-list extended netbios deny tcp any any eq 135 deny tcp any any eq 137 deny udp any any eq netbios-ss deny tcp any any eq 139 deny tcp any any eq 445 deny udp any any eq 445 deny udp any any eq 135 deny tcp any any eq 136 deny udp any any eq 136 deny udp any any eq netbios-ns deny tcp any any eq 138 deny udp any any eq netbios-dgm permit ip any any ! access-list 102 permit ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 any dialer-list 1 protocol ip list 1 ! ! route-map SAFCOM permit 10 match ip address 102 match interface Cellular0/0/0 ! route-map JTL permit 10 match ip address 102 match interface FastEthernet0/1 ! ! ! control-plane ! banner login ^C ******************************************************* ^C ! line con 0 logging synchronous login local line aux 0 line 0/0/0 exec-timeout 0 0 script dialer gsm login local modem InOut no exec transport preferred none transport output none line vty 0 4 password 7 005C4B32165A0510076523 login local transport input telnet ssh ! scheduler allocate 20000 1000 end -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."

UTMs Recommendations
by Odhiambo Washington 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hi Skunks, So I have been looking at UTM devices/options for the last three days. I have come across this document - http://goo.gl/8TojIt, but I still have to ask you to chip in with your practical experience. The only luxury I've had is that Cyberoam have web-based simulators for their products and so I was able to practically play with some of them. Actually, looks like they have just three products in the UTM category - albeit with different network throughput. The primary requirement I have for now is to be able to control where users (yes, I need to create user accounts and authenticate them) can go to the Internet, and possibly limit this with Time/Bandwidth (allocate data bundles) ACLs. Of course the other 'Ts' in the UTM still hold. Cyberoam appears to do this. What I lack is the comparison with other products - Cisco, Astaro, etc Essentially, whatever product I need should meet the above requirement besides being a UTM, and should be able to work in bridge mode with a Cisco router. The network layout is JTL Fiber <----(bridge)-- Cisco <--- LAN. The UTM device should plugin behind the Cisco and function transparently. Cost is a factor. The equivalent Cyberoam unit for this purpose costs USD 1,100 with an annual subscription for updates costing about USD 500-600 per year ... I know I could build my own UTM, but I do not want to do it for now so please don't suggest that path:-) I am open to suggestions/ideas/experiences. You could simply tell me what device you use, what it costs, and whether it meets the above requirements. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."

Best programming jokes
by Ken Muturi 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest with God as the judge. They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show his work. Visibly upset, Satan cries and says, “I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out.” “Very well,” says God, “let us see if Jesus has fared any better.” Jesus presses a key, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished. He stutters, “B-b-but how?! I lost everything, yet Jesus’ program is intact! How did he do it?” God chuckles, “Everybody knows… Jesus saves.
