Is it just me or is the KDN site really ugly, barely useful and offers very scanty information. plus they dont respond to email queries and their no.s dont work. . . . thought that with seacom they would expect alot of inquiries and traffuic but i guess they preffer the bigboys rather than a single user. . . .Anyhoo. . .Anyone know how the whole butterfly thing works? as in can I get it at home? -- Regards, Mark Mwangi http://mwangy.wordpress.com

Dennis; My entire life i've never crammed as I never read to pass exams. I read for leisure or to know something I didn't know. I am accomplished in what I do, and only want to add to my feather something I don't have, yet I feel I needed know. Its good I get entrenched in my area of specialization. Its called being "Professional". And I need a time line to accomplish that. Its called "Planning". I am not green in IT and I'm not a job seeker. In any case huwa natafutwa nakataa. These are things I do often but hell, I have an exam coming! I need to get prepared! //O5ot5i// From: dennis moshu <de2moshu(a)gmail.com> To: Skunkworks forum <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 17:52:00 +0000 Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] I need these books on Telecommunications, IT, Mathematics good luck, just dont fill the job mkt with an msc founded on an 80 day cramming session!! whats with the hurry for anyway, just google up what projects guys in tech. 4.0 countries do for their MSc thesis, and we hope that you make skunkworks proud. no hard feelings. this is how we end up with engineers with crazy degrees but cant figure out the difference between MBps and Mbps!!! and it goes on to having engineers who are proficient in running softwares but cannot infer usefulness in all the data collected coz they dont know the fundamentals of these technologies.....anyway think it over, is it the certificate you want or its the knowledge n experience worth an MSc grad.

Linux versus Windows Servers
by wesley kiriinya 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

I'm looking for a website that compares Linux and Windows server performance. I've googled and come across some stuff but that didn't address my issue. The data that I came across compared both OS at a high level i.e file sharing, ... I'm more interested in how the manage loads. So far my research shows Windows out-does Linux significantly. Thanks.

Is the M-Pesa service up and running again guys? Unless I am mistaken, it's been down since Friday last week. Ama all of you are on Zap?

I need these books on Telecommunications, IT, Mathematics

Hi Skunk/ettes; I am doing my MSc IT from April, however, from the course outline, I just realized I needed to up my knowledge in Telecommunications and Mathematics. I am doing a crush course (Diploma) in Telecommunications and in approximately 80 days I will sit for my examinations. This should be my foundation for the masters course. I've tried leeching the titles from the net with little success. (so far i've got the last 5 titles). For MIT Online, I won't have enough time to refer to pieces of info there until im through with all the books. They I can do reference. So I need the books now. Now I am humbly asking you to help me with either hard copies or soft copies of the remaining titles. I can rent hard copies for 3 months. Soft copies, tell me how I can reward you. Its ASAP. I have 80 days and the clock is kicking. I prefer to study from the comfort of home so don't suggest niende UoN or KNLS coz sitaenda. //O5ot5i// BOOKS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Foundation Discreet Mathematics for Computing (C.
