asterisk query

I'm in a little fix with some configurations on asterisk. The Telco has allowed me on the E1 to dial outbound with the last three digits of my choice. Example my number is 0700123(000) Now apart from creating custom outbound routes for 0700123001 to 0700123999 is there a way to make asterisk randomize the digits? Thanks. -- Lusiola Brian |3 R 1 /-\ |\|

Re: [Skunkworks] Camera Verification System
by Peter Mugoh 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Skunks, We have a camera verification system ( http://www.sensopart.com/en/products/vision-sensors-systems/vision-sensors-…) which checks the quality and the contents printed for errors and sends out the results on a log file. The log file shows either true (good) or false (bad). During printing, the data used contains a serial number and the main challenge is to monitor re-printed serial numbers. Meaning if we reprint a printed serial number it does not indicate that the same serial number had been printed before. This is because this info is on the fly and at the same time it is not stored in any form of DB. Now, we would like a custom application which would capture some parameters e.g. printed serial numbers, blanks in case of machine malfunction, e.t.c. and also log the serial numbers into a DB. Then if any serial number is reprinted, the system should alert us by verifying the saved serial numbers to the serial numbers being printed. The above cameras comes with an application and the are connected to the cameras via ethernet where each camera has an IP Address. If there is anyone who can develop such a custom application, please contact me offlist so that we can discuss. Thanks and regards, Peter Mugoh

AT BARCLAYS
by Mickey Mickey 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

At barclays the systems are down and everything is 16 century. Paper work. Now, the amazing thing is their new deposit slip. It requires you to fill in more than usual including cellphone and email. This is enormous data considering most deposits include none barclays members. So what is the security of such private data???? Why would a bank like it have a stalled system? I ponder as I watch the snaking queue of people. Only in 16 century I conclude.

iPhone CDMA on Orange network
by Mark Mwangi 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

I have been wondering for a while why Orange Kenya does not sell CDMA iPhones yet they have the only active CDMA network in the region and as far as I can tell it is on the same tech as the American one (CDMA 2000) This would ensure lock in of subscribers and allow subsidizing of handsets. The subscribers would be happy on an non-congested network, assured revenues for the network since there is no unlocking or sim swap business and utilization of the network that only seems to be used by modem dongles. Win win? -- Regards, Mark Mwangi markmwangi.me.ke

Enterprise hard disk are just consumer hard disk with ECC (raid 2 in the drive firmware disabled ). The reason being if error correction is enabled, the drive take longer to acknowledge to the system's RAID that all is well. The RAID card do reject drives that are taking long to respond. In another word, the enterprise HDD are damned down hard disk. And the stupid vendors do actually price it up while its actually inferior to consumer drives In short, unless you are going to use them behind a RAID card, ignore Synology advice. They just want to make cash off you. Oh and one other thing. Avoid Seagate drives. They have buggy firmware that kill their drives.

Make sure you can run at least at 5 miles an hour without struggling to breath. Walk / run alot. If you are not used to walking long distance, your legs will pain easily due to lactic acid on the muscles. If working out is a long lived thing in your daily habit, your muscles have learned to deal with it and you will have a pleasant time. Get a winter shoe and wear it till it get comfortable. Nothing horrible as taking a long walk in a shoe you have yet to break into. Wear warm water proof clothes. The place rain a lot and its miserable to be cold and wet Happy hiking!

Hi Francis, I had a look at your website, there is allot to be done, both design and functionality total fail, text overlapping, if I remember well, the about us page was a turn off, seriously the colors :( you cant have orange or red in the main content. As a designer I feel abused. The navigation is forced and out of place, the whole website confuses the user, for an NGO the previous website is way better. I would suggest the following, identify the need, consider the target audience and finally create a user journey. Design is a process. If it doesnt work on paper, it won't work on web as well.

SEND CV's TO: kipmasi(a)gmail.com Telemathix Ltd. is a start-up in westlands that focuses on building mobile apps, web apps, web APIs, sms-based solutions and mobile-money based solutions. They've built a number of great apps, and unique to their portfolio is an sms/ussd driven m-shwari like app, and an m-pesa API (a REST based API that's much easier to use than the SOAP interface safcom provides) They will soon have two vacancies for a software developer position. They would like someone familiar with PHP (especially the OOP aspects of PHP) or Java. Familiarity with server-side frameworks (for instance kohana, yii, codeigniter etc) is a major plus. Additionally, general web front-end skills such as familiarity with jQuery, angularJS or backbone would be a great plus too. Experience with android programming would be awesome too. You do not need to have a grasp on all of the above, and knowing a sub-set of the above skills will get you Telemathix's attention. Depending on your skill set and general amazingness, salaries will range between 25k and 40k (or a bit higher than that if you are quite impressive) SEND CV's TO: kipmasi(a)gmail.com

Fwd: UK government plans switch from Microsoft Office to open source
by Evans Ikua 31 Jan '14

*"Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude plans to standardise on open formats to cut costs on Office suite and break 'oligopoly' of IT suppliers"*<http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/29/uk-government-plans-switc…> Maude will add: "Technical standards for document formats may not sound like the first shot in a revolution. "But be in no doubt: the adoption of compulsory standards in government threatens to break open Whitehall's lock-in to proprietary formats. In turn we will open the door for a host of other software providers." Maude will also hail changes designed to increase the number of small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) winning public sector contracts. "In the civil service there was a sense that if you hired a big multi-national, who everyone knew the name of, you'd never be fired. "We weren't just missing out on innovation, we were paying top dollar for yesterday's technology. "One great example of the potential from small businesses was when we re-tendered a hosting contract. "The incumbent big supplier bid £4m; a UK-based small business offered to do it for £60,000. "We saved taxpayers a whopping 98.5%. I don't think we can make savings of that scale everywhere but hard-working people expect us to try as hard as we possibly can."

DSTV Communal Dish Setting

From the setup we have done everything right, just that the distance from one villa to the next seems to reduce signal to just 35%. Today, from the control room I managed to do a direct connection to each villa. There is no signal loss at all. I have done all things possible but im told its a DSTV problem.

How many decoders will be sharing the single dish? The largest LNB I've come across is an 8-port LNB. Perhaps 2 dishes would suffice for up to 16 decoders.

@pius I know the power of joomle+wordpress but I think you dont need to rush asking those regular questions that quick wed developers do ask(like templted questions). I think you can go through what other have contributed,and then try to see if the common CMC framework can help us both in a short and in a long run.e.g How much would it take to migrate,or maintain.. Evaluate things as professional as you can be.I think the more you read what others have said so far then the more you would find that frameworks of lower level like Codeignitor, fat free.JQuery etc are what you need more than these read made CMC and Blogging tools.You better start your magic from those lower level ..share your code somewhere then others can contribute down the line...contents can be prepared anytime..and we don't need to worry about copy and paste things.

Attn: Joseph I can quickly see this way first.. -Go with RFID... Tag players..put sensors in certain distances and preconfigur in the databases, set watering points too...either connected to the server through Ethernet,wireless or else....what you need is to tell the server relative position of each sensor from the starting point Then each player can be tracked trough his/her RFID and distance...if pass through the same path..then its much easier...then distance and any other parameter for re-hydration should be preset for individual or all...the rest is your creativity and coding RFID ability. Not: setting of the RFID should be in such a way that it would detect a narrow strip rather than football pitch like Radius. -- Regards, Nicholas Peter.* Kinpro Computers.* *Box:*16954,Arusha. --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joseph Maina <mainasoft00(a)gmail.com> To: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Cc: Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:12:47 +0300 Subject: [Skunkworks] OT- Mobile App - urgently needed below are specs... contact me if it is We are currently on an event plan for our client a soft drinks manufacturer and we would like your professional opinion before we present our ideas formally.

Re: [Skunkworks] Exchange server , office 365 or Google apps

> Actually Google Apps has directory sync which enables Active Directory > integration. Yea, this is true, you install an Google app somewhere on a separate vm and schedule it to push any change from your directory of choice to your Google app account. I have successfully set it up this way with openldap but do remember seeing active directory was supported too on their documentation. The only thing I didn't like was you needed to disable password salting, and age out the password so that users are forced to change their password and save them unsalted. In short, they force you to weaken your security :( Actually wonder how they deal with AD kerberos now. Also there may be possibility of setting up a trust account and Google app would query your AD directly during authentication. Problem is, their systems are so much powerful and if your account is attacked, their can easily kill your AD with load.. Will check it out for curiousity sake.

One thing worth clarifying is while google apps don't come with office licenses, you do have full outlook support. This is not through exchange active sync, you install an outlook plugin but after that, you wouldn't be able to tell outlook isn't talking to exchange. Totally transparent to users.

Att:Memus.. Some of the things I hate though it matters most to professional Job Novelists are: -CV writing skills.. -Interview blah..blah advice and skills... These are additional carrier in life ,specif for desperate job seekers.Professional should push Employers and their agents to learn how to interview..and how to break a good deal with a professional who is is selling a precious commodity...skilled labor. I have fools in interview rooms asking non sense questions and forcing everyone to smile and adopt. Once in a time foolish interviewer was asking me server specific questions ,knowing i was fresh from school.The server they were asking me about was about $40K,something I cant even find in my college.And he was kind of very serious...hahah.. I just asked him were did he first so that goddamn machine..he went silent. Another fool was requiring a business skills to a background tech..who would never go anywhere in business decision making because he was only next to the cleaners in qualifications(with only a certification and good touch).He was a personal to fix machines and go...

Localized language for smart phones in Kenya
by TheMburu George 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hi Skunks I don't know if its only me who after I buy a smart phone I have to spend several weeks adding my sheng, swahili and other locallized words to the English dictionary before I find it enjoyable to use. My question is this: 1. Is a quicker way to do this, if so kindly share. 2. If no, I was suggesting the app developers here can create an app we just install and it loads those words. We can become contributors of the words initially to have a database. ./TheMburu -- Conservatism is the adherence to the old tried against the new untried.

> Use mod_jk > > FYI In my humble opinion, its better not to use mod_jk. It was only good for apache 1 and no longer maintained. If you try, you will quickly realize you got to install from source, a bad idea in production system. Use mod_ajp, it come installed by default if you already have Apache installed. You need to enable proxy by uncommenting 5 lines somewhere near the bottom of http.conf. Remember to disable forward proxy else you become an open relay. You need to add 2 lines, starting with ajp and point them to tomcat by mapping it to the domain tomcat is servicing.

NginX and Apache
by Dennis Kioko 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

I remember this discussion coming here and some experienced developers brushing it as being inconsequential as the tool used doesn't matter as much as the application. Wappalyzer, aan application detection extension shows Nginx now serves half as many webservers as Apache, and almost as many visitors as Apache, traffic wise. The main advantage of Nginx is that it is a light weight web server - apache was written in the 90s when websites and servers were different from what they are today, in stuff such as multiple cores and threading. What you will find is that you can serve much more traffic on the same server with NginX compared to Apache, plu sit is relatively easy to use. So if you have resource constraints, you may experiment switching Apache for Nginx http://wappalyzer.com/categories/web-servers -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>
