The company should have a certificate of compliance, registration certificate and a business permit. I need this by 9am tomorrow. Thanks -- Jackson Gathoni

Call for Support: AUCC Petition
by Marcela Sinda 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Hello Skunks... We (Strathmore- Centre for Intellectual Property) are calling for a Parliamentary debate over the merits of the AUCC and whether Africa should support the passage of this ill-advised treaty. Once this is ratified the stringent law will curtail your internet use...signing the petition is a good way to delay the process and seek amendments. At a very minimum, cyber security experts and a wide selection of industry and non government stakeholders should be given a chance to vet the AUCC. The process ought to be transparent and public. All you have to do is take a minute of your time and make a change... Regards, Marcela Sinda

Hello skunks, Please be careful when you receive an email like this: *Greetings, How are you today? I found this credential and your classified information where tag on it. I already uploaded the document for you, Click https://docs.google.com/ and sign in your email to view the documents. Thanks* When you click the link you will be prompted to enter your email and the password to your email.

Strange behaviour on Windows 8 phone
by Okechukwu 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Hi All, I managed to settle on a Nokia Lumia 925 Windows 8 phone after searching for my second preferred platform for ages. I love the touch on this phone (second only to my iPhone) and all, but I have an issue where the phone just loses network connectivity and cant make or receive calls (all other functions are up & ok and even those that require internet work well with Wi-Fi) and upon reboot, all comes back. This has happened to me every 4 or 5 days consistently. Has anyone using this platform experienced this, or could it be my specific handset? ./Ok3ch

To me, that's not normal. I tend to think it's the lazy way out. When setting up a system, I will take time going over the manual looking for the least privilege the database user need to be and assign the user just that rights. Software will always be buggy irrespective of how much auditing time you invest in. So a good application is the one that can operate on least privileges, and only need extended rights for maintenance. The windows ecosystem has just shown how horrible ignoring that principal can be. We should stop repeating the mistakes of the past.

If below are the features you are looking for, then talk to these *( yusuf(a)soteriasolutions.biz, tracking(a)soteriasolutions.biz)* local guys, am currently using their solution and I can confirm they are among the best providers in the region if not the best in terms of features and support. *Car Track Features* - To see online the position of the monitored units on the map and to get the information about them (speed and sensor values) in the pop-up info tips. - To use different maps (e.g.Google Maps, Bing Maps, Yahoo Maps). - Anti-theft vehicle remote immobilization. - Automatic RFID driver identification - Alarms delivered by SMS - Integration with CANBus for control of fuel consumption, fuel level, tachograph states, engine temperature, engine revs and others - Smartphone interface for fleet managers - Door open sensor and temperature sensor - Cost management - To visualize the route of one or several vehicles for any period of time. Additionally, you can create a track and see the car moving along the track. - To mark any number of points of interest (POI) on the map. - To check if your vehicles have visited certain places using “Geofence” instrument. - To receive notifications by email, SMS, or in a popup window if a certain situation occurs (e.g. a unit goes over a speed limit, an alarm button is pressed, there’re changes in sensor values or a connection loss, or if a unit is idle or arrives at a control point.) - To track the units or drivers who are going along the route with the specified control points and a predefined schedule using "Routes" instrument. - To process, systematize and analyze any information from the stored database via special reports based on the editable templates. Each report can contain any number of tables and charts specified by the user and display the information over the set period of time. - To set up the system so that it executes certain sequences of operations or jobs automatically. ---- Kind Regards, Alex Nyalita On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 6:24 PM, Steve Kyengo <k.stevo08(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Talk to shem.o(a)stoiccarcentre.co.ke > > > On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 6:18 PM, steven maina <ndungustephenm(a)gmail.com>wrote: > >> talk to harry 0723831349 or 0733236050 >> >> >> On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 5:55 PM, Plugged PC <plugged.pc(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Hi >>> >>> Looking for someone in the Mobile asset tracking industry along the >>> lines of Car Track / Stoic, Track and trace. >>> >>> Is there anyone on this list? >>> >>> Many thanks . >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> >>> >>> Confidentiality Notice: This message, including any attachments, is for >>> the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and >>> privileged information.

Nonetheless, if you want to know if a table exists, the proper place to look is in the information_schema database or if for some reason you can't look there, run `show tables;` from within the database you're checking. There's no need to touch the table in order to evaluate its existence. -- Kili.io - OpenStack for Africa: kili.io Musings: twitter.com/varud <https://twitter.com/varud> About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 4:01 PM, Steve Obbayi <steve(a)sobbayi.com> wrote: > Yes really @Rad its the resource that returns NULL and not the table row, > don't mix the two.

Re: [Skunkworks] MySQL question: create table if not exists

@David, sorry if I gave the wrong impression... I am not splitting the table, I am removing the "IF NOT EXISTS" part from the "CREATE" and then wrapping it in a conditional, using this pseudocode: Start: Does table my_table_a exist? If yes { do nothing } else { CREATE the table } End: That way, I only run the CREATE iff the table doesn't exist, and thereby avoid having to incur the pain of having to run the nasty *SELECT * FROM my_table_b WHERE some_column=some_value.* * * But you are right, I will still have to fix it, eventually On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 4:01 PM, Steve Obbayi <steve(a)sobbayi.com> wrote: > Yes really @Rad its the resource that returns NULL and not the table row, > don't mix the two.

MySQL question: create table if not exists
by Peter Karunyu 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Dear MySQL gurus, So I have this query: *CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS my_table_a ( SELECT * FROM my_table_b WHERE some_column=some_value);* My question is, how does MySQL evaluate it? Does it start with the SELECT * then goes to check if that table exists, then creates the table? The reason I am asking is because the *SELECT * FROM my_table_b WHERE some_column=some_value *part is particularly nasty and takes forever, and therefore, I was thinking of splitting it into two thus: 1. $x = SELECT COUNT(1) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='my_db' AND table_name='my_table_a' 2. if ( ! $x ) { CREATE TABLE my_table_a ( SELECT * FROM my_table_b WHERE some_column=some_value); } And therefore, possibly save a few seconds. Or am I searching for speed in the wrong place?

Harddisk replacement for Macbook Pro
by Mark Mwangi 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Hi wise citizens, I want to replace the hdd on my macbook pro seeing as it has been complaining forever that it is about to fail. It has been failing the S.M.A.R.T test with a reallocated sector count of 2047 that has remained there since the problem started. I am tired of this and the work arounds needed to upgrade the OS and the incessant warnings to back everything up right now. Are there any things I need to know before I take the plunge and which brand of Harddisk would give me good service? Or I just buy any and go with it? -- Regards, Mark Mwangi markmwangi.me.ke

Hi Skunks, I am thinking of procuring the above in subject but I face one challenge buying locally with 'fake genuine' risk hanging or to ship direct from Dell (Scared of cost Auuuch!) my questions are anybody bought one in kenya, how much and at what condition from since you bought it? Anybody bought it straight from Dell, what was the cost and shipping, how long did it take before reaching you, anything else I should know in case I ship? Do we have Dell dealers in kenya? Anyone interested to ship we share cost in case I decide to ship that is. -- MICHAEL A.
