RAM and Computer Performance
by Andrew Nduati 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hey good people, I really need to understand this RAM and speed stuff. Here's my dilemma, my laptop runs on: - Windows 7 Ultimate(64 bit) on an x64-based processor with 4GB RAM(2.65GB usable). Now I upgraded to 6GB RAM and it still has the "2.65GB usable" stuff. I however noticed that the rating for the graphics and calculation speed increased by a whole point i.e 4.5 to 5.5. What could be causing this and how can it be fixed?? We had a topic of such a nature but it was inconclusive.

Problem with TinyMCE editor and django 1.4.3
by Martin Chiteri 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hello, I have a small problem with regards to django <http://www.djangoproject.com>version 1 release 4 update number 3. My Python release is 2.7.3 and I am in the process of integrating TinyMCE <http://www.tinymce.com/>, a WYSIWYG editor into my admin interface in order to modify database table fields that support text areas with rich-text capabilities (font-styling, image alignment, hyper linking, etc). So far I have seen this guide on the django documentation site https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AddWYSIWYGEditor It does not make my code fail because of errors. Neither does it work as expected if at all. Stack Overflow has yielded no fruitful results. If anything the results are plagued with chaos and / or conflicting methods. I know there are at least four or more people here familiar with the framework. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Martin.

Building "LakeHub "- Tech Hub in Kisumu
by LakeHub Kisumu 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hey Skunkworks - call for help here A little over a month ago a crew of techies - university students and young professionals got together to organize a community for like-minded coders and hackers in Nyanza/Western. We've gotten off to a good start. LakeHub (www.lakehub.co.ke) has held two "Tech Workshops" that have covered topics ranging from an Intro to Mobile App Programming to Design Thinking to mildly more sophisticated "Blink" programs with a couple Arduino (Mega) boards. At the moment, we have an agreement with a coffee shop that has a private room and an outside garden each of which can fit about 30 people that their space is our space on Saturdays from 1-5 PM (tea and mandazi provided). Every other week we hold a semi-formal tech workshop, the weeks in between are a fully casual hang-out. We've been getting 25 people at the workshops and 8-10 at the hangouts. There is a crew of 5 that meet on Wednesday to plan the events and try to collect and share resources etc. We have a listserve, a Twitter account (@LakeHub) and a Facebook page ( www.facebook.com/LakeHubKisumu) I'm hoping you all can help with how we can best move forward from here. We know a handful of priorities: * Permanent Space * Strong / Reliable Internet Connection * Fundraising And we're looking for two broad categories of input: 1) Specific leads on the topics mentioned above - advice on how to secure them, individuals, companies, or organizations we can connect to, or introductions to those people/places 2) Concrete suggestions for how to build up the community and program(s). We're leaning on a few people as our main "trainers", though we are encouraging those that are looking for training to also take on their own projects. We want to host some sort of BarCamp as a big event in a couple months, we want to connect with business(es) in the area, and/or with local/county government. We're dreaming big and moving at a pretty good pace, but we want your ideas, support, guidance, networks, and experience to help us do more of both of those. Please (please) feel free to share your thoughts with us through lakehub(a)gmail.com or with a post here. Thanks for the time and suggestions / looking forward to the conversation and progress.

Ex-Nokia team makes rival smartphone Jolla
by Alex Nyika 21 May '13

21 May '13

*http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22599877* A company made up of former Nokia employees has shown off Jolla, a new smartphone with a custom operating system known as Sailfish. The software has been built from the remnants of MeeGo, a project abandoned by Nokia in 2011 in favour of adopting Windows Phone for its handsets. The Jolla phone - pronounced Yol-la - is due to be released by the end of the year, and will only be sold online. It will enter a market already heavily crowded with several operating systems. "For a couple of years we haven't had anything really interesting in the mobile phone market," said Antti Saarnio, chairman and co-founder of Jolla. "This creates opportunities for newcomers to come in. It's different, but it's purposefully different." The Other Half The phone has a 4.5in screen, with an eight megapixel camera. It also supports 4G and is compatible with apps made for Google's Android. Among the handset's other features is what the company has called "The Other Half." The coloured back of the phone is interchangeable - and the operating system's interface will change depending on what type of cover you have. Continue reading the main story<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22599877#story_continues_2> “Start Quote Everybody felt so strongly that they wanted to continue” Antti SaarnioChairman, Jolla These changes could include, for example, team colours for a football team. "You connect it to the phone, and the user interface reflects the players and colours of the team," Mr Saarnio told the BBC. "It's an interesting way to show you 'belong' with something." He would not confirm how exactly this feature works - but many speculate the use of near-field communication (NFC) technology. Splinter group Mr Saarnio left Nokia in 2011, along with several other employees who had been working on a joint Nokia-IBM project to create a new mobile operating system to rival the likes of Apple's iOS and Google Android. Nokia released one handset running the MeeGo software, the N9-00. Mr Saarnio felt it was not given enough of a chance to succeed. [image: Jolla smartphone]The smartphone will initially only be sold online "The team really felt that this was one of the best phones in the market, even though it was quite under-marketed," he said. "Everybody felt so strongly that they wanted to continue." Several of the team left the Finnish mobile giant to start their own company and remain working on MeeGo, which it has renamed Sailfish. Despite leaving the company, Mr Saarnio said he wished Nokia well - and that Jolla was open to letting them use Sailfish in future handsets. "We are actually quite open - we are offering this operating system for other smartphone makers to use. "Let's wait and see and we will just do our best in our business." -- Kind regards, Alex Nyika

Hello Listers, My colleague has a Dell Inspiron with an usual behavior. The Mouse and Trackpad works fine while battery. The moment he plugs in the AC adapter, the mouse and the Trackpad fails. A reboot is normally the first troubleshooting step which doesn't solve this issue. When he unplugs the AC adapter the mouse and Trackpad works fine. Anyone who is facing the same problem? How did you go about it? Eric.

Dear Skunks I am having an issue with a particular account. Its bizarre. It's set up correctly, with the correct POP3 ans SMTP servers settings. Tests are successful. This account can receive mails. When sending emails, they clear out of the outbox and move to the sent items folder, which means they are sent. BUT, the recipients don't receive them. I have tried setting up on another machine, uninstalling the antivirus, changing from 2007 to 2013, still nothing is happening. We use network solutions. When you try to send from network solutions webmail, the recipients, receive the mails. What could be wrong? I am completely at a loss. -- *Kind Regards* *Muthoni Njuguna*

Internet & Voice Services in Nigeria
by Odhiambo Washington 16 May '13

Hello skunkers, I am hoping some of you have in their professional lives strayed all the way to Nigeria. I am setting up an office in Nigeria and I am in the process of identifying service providers for voice (E1 PRI) and data (Fiber) to a location in Victoria Island. I'll appreciate any references guidelines. So far I've contacted one company which told me that E1 installation costs 1m Naira; Fiber circuit installation also costs 1m Naira. I am still reeling in shock!! 1m Naira is about USD 6,400. Leaves me wondering how it is Nigerians are able to compete with us:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."

Xen on UEFI Hardware
by Haggai Nyang 14 May '13

14 May '13

Hi guys, I'm setting up Xen on an IBM x3250 M4 server and got through an Ubuntu x64 12.04 install from a live USB stick without a hassle. Server has 500GB, 4GB, 3GHz Xeon CPUs. I've restricted the host to 20GB space on installation with the rest to LVM. I then did an apt-get of Xen, modified grub and rebooted but was getting an error "not enough memory to relocate the dom0 kernel image". This was with dom0 restricted to 1GB ram and 1 vcpu. I doubled those with no difference - same error still. After a bit of GIYF I found that Xen 4.1 has issues with UEFI - and that's the latest I could get from apt-get. Afterwards I got the Xen 4.2 tarball and compiled from source, make dist/world and installed - all smoothly. Modded grub and rebooted with Xen as default. I'm no longer getting the earlier error (which had something to do with a change from e801 ram map to e820) but now Xen can't see the partitions. When I boot into Ubuntu it's all OK. I have one more trick to try - modding fstab - but before I possibly brick the system and start from scratch is there anyone who has had this experience before? Any advice?

Fwd: [Chapter-delegates] NEWS RELEASE: Africa Domain Name System Forum to be held in Durban, South Africa, 12-13 July 2013

Listers, FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <cover(a)isoc.org> Date: Mon, May 13, 2013 at 7:28 PM Subject: [Chapter-delegates] NEWS RELEASE: Africa Domain Name System Forum to be held in Durban, South Africa, 12-13 July 2013 To: chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org Africa Domain Name System Forum to be held in Durban, South Africa, 12-13 July 2013 Co-organized by the Internet Society, AfTLD, and ICANN Forum will bring together registries, registrars, experts and policy makers to foster cross-border collaboration [Washington, D.C., and Geneva, Switzerland, 13 May 2013] – The Africa Domain Name System (DNS) Forum will be held on 12 - 13 July 2013 in Durban, South Africa. The event aims to establish a platform for the DNS community across Africa and to advance the domain name industry and domain name registrations on the continent. Over the years, the Internet Society, AfTLD, and ICANN have supported the continued development and growth of Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) in Africa through capacity building and technical support. Despite the support, the growth and sustainability of African ccTLDs and adoption of new technologies remains very low as compared to other regions of the world. To identify the bottlenecks that are keeping the industry from growing and the actions that can catalyze its growth, the three organizations determined the need for a forum to discuss these regional DNS issues. The DNS Forum will foster cross-border collaboration between registries, registrars, registrants, DNS experts, Government representatives, and policy makers. Topics covered during the 1 ½ day event include trends, opportunities, and challenges of the DNS industry; strategies for registries and registrars; legal issues with cross-border domain registrations; ways Governments can support domain name growth; and benefits of standardizing accreditation to attract more cross-border registrars and registrations. “The Internet Society’s African Regional Bureau has been working to strengthen the ccTLDs in Africa by improving sustainability, encouraging the implementation of automation solutions at ccTLDs, and promoting the use of technology such as DNSSEC at registries,” said Dawit Bekele, Internet Society Regional Bureau Director for Africa. “We are pleased to join together with AfTLD and ICANN to host this multi-stakeholder forum where participants can share experiences, gain new insights, and establish new business relationships with organizations from within and outside the continent. Such a forum is important to bring growth in the African domain name industry.” Pierre S. Dandjinou, ICANN Vice President of Stakeholder Engagement for Africa, commented, “ICANN is partnering with other players in the region to implement its Africa strategy, which was developed in 2012 by the African community. Thus, this DNS Forum in Durban, as a partnership between AfTLD and the Internet Society and as a pre-conference event to the ICANN meeting, is another milestone that builds on the MIGworks event in Addis in March 2013, which sought to pave the way for the development of the DNS industry in Africa and to empower the African community for an increased accreditation of registrars from the continent. I believe the new gTLD program will help grow this industry on a global and regional level, and we hope that African business players can be part of this growing industry as much as they can. ICANN will present in this event several programs to support and incubate new business players in Africa to benefit out of the growing potential in this continent.” “By working with and building on our partnerships in running the DNS Forum, AfTLD’s objective is to build on our thriving capacity building activities for ccTLDs in Africa so as to improve the DNS in Africa and the sustainability of ccTLDs,” said Dr. Paulos Nyirenda, President of AfTLD. “The DNS Forum will present a great opportunity for players in the domain industry to learn and to foster new and established relationships, including those among ccTLDs, registries, registrars, operators, policy makers and end users.” For more information and to register for the Africa DNS Forum, visit: http://aftld.org/afdnsforum -- Barrack O.

The Six Deadly Sins of Leadership
by Alex Nyika 13 May '13

13 May '13

*The Six Deadly Sins of Leadership* *By Jack and Suzy Welch* <http://jackwelch.strayer.edu/about/jack-welch> Being a leader is perhaps the hardest challenge any of us will ever face. No matter how long we work at it, practicing the right behaviors is a never-ending task. Knowing – and avoiding – the wrong ones is too. Thus, we offer the following six common leadership pitfalls: *1. Not Giving Self-Confidence its Due. *Self-confidence is the lifeblood of success. When people have it, they’re bold. They try new things, offer ideas, exude positive energy, and cooperate with their colleagues instead of surreptitiously attempting to bring them down. When they lack self-confidence, it’s just the opposite. People cower. They plod. And they spread negativity with every word and gesture. But all too often leaders ignore (or neglect) this very basic fact of the human condition. Why is anyone’s guess. Perhaps they just don’t understand that it is part of their job to instill self-confidence in their people. It may even be said that it’s their first job. You cannot unleash the creative power of individuals who doubt themselves. Fortunately, some people seem to be born with self-confidence. Others gain it from life and work experience and come to a company fully loaded. Regardless, leaders can never stop pouring self-confidence into their teams. The ways to do so are myriad. Make sure goals are challenging – but achievable. Give effusive positive feedback. Remind your direct reports of what they do right. We’re not saying that leaders should blindly extol and exalt. People know when they’re being gamed. But good leaders work relentlessly to find ways to instill self-confidence in those around them. They know it’s the gift that never stops giving. *2. Muzzling Voice. *Perhaps the most frustrating way that leaders underperform is by over-talking. That is, they act like know-it-alls. They can tell you how the world works, what corporate is thinking, how it will backfire if you try this or that, and why you can’t possibly change the product one iota. Sometimes such blowhards get their swagger from a few positive experiences, but usually they’re just victims of their own destructive personalities. Ultimately, the company ends up being a victim too, because know-it-alls aren’t just insufferable, they’re dangerous. They don’t listen, and that deafness makes it very hard for new ideas to get debated, expanded upon, or improved. No single person, no matter how smart, can take a business to its apex. For that, you need every voice to be heard. *3. Acting Phony. *Can you spot a phony? Of course you can – and so can your people. Indeed, if there is one widespread human capability, it is sniffing out someone who is putting on airs, pretending to be who they’re not, or just keeping their real self hidden. Yet too many leaders spend way too much time creating personas that put a wall between them and their employees. What a waste. Because authenticity is what makes people love you. Visibly grappling with tough problems, sweating the details, laughing, and caring – those are the activities that make people respond and feel engaged with what you’re saying. Sure, some people will tell you that being mysterious grants you power as a leader. In reality, all it generates is fear. And who wants to motivate that way? Now, obviously, authenticity is unattractive if it’s coupled with immaturity or an overdose of informality. And organizations generally don’t like people who are too emotionally unbounded – i.e. so real that all their feelings are exposed. They tend to tamp that kind of intensity down a bit. And that’s not a bad thing, as work is work and, more than at home, allows us to maintain some privacy. But don’t let convention wring all the authenticity out of you, especially as you climb the ladder. In time, humanity always wins. Your team and bosses come to know who you are in your soul, what kind of people you attract and what kind of performance you want from everyone. Your realness will make you accessible; you will connect and you will inspire. You will lead. *4. Lacking the Guts to Differentiate. *You only have to be in business a few weeks to know that not all investment opportunities are created equal. But some leaders can’t face that reality, and so they sprinkle their resources like cheese on a pizza, a little bit everywhere. As a result, promising growth opportunities too often don’t get the outsized infusions of cash and people they need. If they did, someone might get offended during the resource allocation process. Someone – as in the manager of a weak business or the sponsor of a dubious investment proposal. But leaders who don’t differentiate do the most damage when it comes to people. Unwilling to deliver candid, rigorous performance reviews, they give every employee the same kind of bland, mushy, “nice job” sign-off. Then, when rewards are doled out, they give star performers little more than the laggards. Now, you can call this egalitarian approach kind, or fair – as these lousy leaders usually do – but it’s really just weakness. And when it comes to building a thriving organization where people have the chance to grow and succeed, weakness just doesn’t cut it. *5. Fixation on Results at the Expense of Values. *Everyone knows that leaders deliver. Oratory and inspiration without results equal…well, a whole lot of nothing. But leaders are committing a real dereliction of duties if all they care about are the numbers. They also have to care about how those numbers came to be. Were the right behaviors practiced? Was the company’s culture of integrity honored? Were people taken care of properly? Was the law obeyed, in both letter and spirit? Values are a funny thing in business. Companies love to talk about them. They love to hang them up on plaques in the lobby and boast about them to potential hires and customers. But they’re meaningless if leaders don’t live and breathe them. Sometimes that can take courage. It can mean letting go of a top performer who’s a brute to his colleagues, or not promoting a star who doesn’t share her best ideas with the team. That’s hard. And yet if you’re a leader, this is a sin you cannot squint away. When you nail your results, make sure you can also report back to a crowded room: We did this the right way, according to our values. *6. Skipping the Fun Part *What is it about celebrating that makes managers so nervous? Maybe throwing a party doesn’t seem professional, or it makes people worry that they won’t look serious to the powers that be, or that, if things get too happy in the office, people will stop working their tails off. Whatever the reason, too many leaders don’t celebrate enough. To be clear here, we do not define celebrating as conducting one of those stilted little company-orchestrated events that everyone hates, in which the whole team is marched out to a local restaurant for an evening of forced merriment when they’d rather be home. We’re talking about sending a team to Disney World with their families, or giving each team member tickets to a show or a movie, or handing each member of the team a new iPod. What a lost opportunity. Celebrating makes people feel like winners and creates an atmosphere of recognition and positive energy. Imagine a team winning the World Series without champagne spraying everywhere. You can’t! And yet companies win all the time and let it go without so much as a high-five. Work is too much a part of life not to recognize the moments of achievement. Grab as many as you can. Make a big deal out of them. That’s part of a leader’s job too – the fun part. *This content was originally presented as a lecture at the **Jack Welch Management Institute* <http://jackwelch.strayer.edu/>*.* * * -- Kind regards, Alex Nyika

Re: [Skunkworks] Outlook Issues
by Moses M.G 13 May '13

13 May '13

Hi. This problem lies with the smtp server and NOT your computer. The Safaricom smtp is known to reject emails that do not originate from their network...something to do with bad reputations of other networks. My solution for this was setting a separate route to the smtp server through an IP address that belongs to them. My outgoing emails travel like this; sender ->default gateway with Safaricom ip ->Safaricom smtp ->recipient Sent from my Windows Phone ------------------------------ From: Muthoni Njuguna <muthoniee(a)gmail.com> Sent: 5/13/2013 10:57 To: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Subject: [Skunkworks] Outlook Issues Dear Skunks I am having an issue with a particular account. Its bizarre. It's set up correctly, with the correct POP3 ans SMTP servers settings. Tests are successful. This account can receive mails. When sending emails, they clear out of the outbox and move to the sent items folder, which means they are sent. BUT, the recipients don't receive them. I have tried setting up on another machine, uninstalling the antivirus, changing from 2007 to 2013, still nothing is happening. We use network solutions. When you try to send from network solutions webmail, the recipients, receive the mails. What could be wrong? I am completely at a loss. -- *Kind Regards* *Muthoni Njuguna*

Solution to MPESA Digital Certificate Installation
by Justin Mosbey 10 May '13

10 May '13

Internet Explorer 10 comes preinstalled with Windows 8 Release Preview. Unfortunately you cannot uninstall or downgrade to lower versions of Internet Explorer. I just found you can go to a web page you need in an older version of IE and press F12. Then click on "browser mode IE 10" and you can change all the way back to IE 7. The downside is you have to do it every time but at least there is a way to access:) regards,

Skype support in imo.im
by Bwana Lawi 10 May '13

Looks like Skype has finally kicked out the one independent service that was still supporting it. Remember nimbuzz, etc used to support skype before skype asked nimbuzz to remove it<http://blog.nimbuzz.com/2010/10/25/what-the-skypenimbuzz-breakup-means-to-y…> It was then that I chanced upon imo. And now this: "We are unable to support Skype due to our inability to connect to their servers. We don't know if we will be able to support Skype any time soon as it depends on factors out of our control." - imo.im website That was my platform of choice for one stop IM. Can someone suggest another option, especially web based, that supports the major chat services - skype, fb, gtalk, yahoo?

I have a dual boot setup via bootcamp with Windows 7 on the other side and its also seeing nothing. Has this ever happened to anyone here? -- Regards, Mark Mwangi markmwangi.me.ke

A pre-analysis of Jubilee’s One Solar Laptop per Child Initiative
by John Karanja 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hi Listers, I recently wrote this blogpost, looking forward to your views -- During the recently concluded electoral campaigns President Uhuru Kenyatta<http://uhuru.co.ke/> and his Deputy William Ruto captivated the minds of Kenyan parents with a promise of delivering to every Standard One pupil entering school in 2014 asolar powered laptop <http://uhuruto2013.com/?p=113> to enhance and aid their learning environment(see video below). As expected many Kenyans were sceptical given the perception that many Government projects begin with pomp and fury but end up as duds; wasting billions of shillings that could otherwise have gone to more basic and immediate needs. I thought it would be prudent for us to examine through a *Strength Weakness Opportunity Threat( SWOT)* analysis the feasibility of such a project in present day Kenya <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya>. *Read more: http://johnkaranja.com/2013/04/10/a-pre-analysis-of-jubilees-one-solar-lapt… * Kind Regards, John

Does it mean that because internet pricing is high we should abet the 'stealing' of internet from ISPs? Why not come up with a better business model that will enable cheaper internet services? On May 8, 2013 5:08 PM, "Watchman" <skunkingrahim(a)gmail.com> wrote:

by Barrack Otieno 08 May '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <cover(a)isoc.org> Date: Wed, May 8, 2013 at 6:23 PM Subject: [Chapter-delegates] NEWS RELEASE: New Study from Internet Society and Analysys Mason Examines Factors Hindering Development of Internet Access in Africa To: chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org New Study from Internet Society and Analysys Mason Examines Factors Hindering Development of Internet Access in Africa Research explores impact of telecom infrastructure investments and corresponding improvements to Internet access and service [Washington, D.C. and Geneva, Switzerland – 08 May 2013] – The Internet Society today published a new study, ‘Lifting barriers to Internet development in Africa: suggestions for improving connectivity,’ which examines the factors hindering Internet development in Africa and explores possible remedies. The research, conducted by Analysys Mason and commissioned by the Internet Society, found that despite investments resulting in significant improvements to Africa’s telecom infrastructure in the past five years, these investments have in some cases not translated into lowered prices or increased quality of services for Internet users. These investments have focused on undersea cable to improve international connectivity, and terrestrial fibre networks between countries. The study shows that in many countries the development of Internet access is hampered by constraints on terrestrial connectivity between the submarine cables, the Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), last mile access infrastructures, and Internet Service Providers that deliver access to end-users in Africa. The report sets forth an Internet development approach focused on removing regulatory roadblocks and promoting Internet-specific investments, supported by a high-level policy environment to result in greater Internet availability and empowerment in Africa. "This study is significant as it identifies some of the last barriers for the development of Internet infrastructure in Africa,” noted Dawit Bekele, Regional Bureau Director for Africa, Internet Society. “It pinpoints the issues that all stakeholders and more particularly African governments and telecommunication regulators need to address to ensure that the massive infrastructural development that we have seen in Africa in the last few years results in bringing Internet to all Africans at an affordable price." Jane Coffin, Director for Development Strategy at the Internet Society, added, “We hope that this study will spark a national and regional debate in Africa that impacts future Internet development. There is so much that stakeholders can do to close infrastructure gaps by working together through creative public-private partnerships and by taking bold steps to allow change to happen by breaking down traditional barriers and allowing market entrants greater ease in network deployment.” “For us, the variation between regions in retail price of Internet traffic was revealing, with some ISPs offering access at USD 10 per gigabyte of traffic, and others charging up to ten times more than that. East Africa appears to offer best value, particularly for low-volume users who tend to have lower incomes,” commented one of the report’s authors, Robert Schumann. Michael Kende, Partner at Analysys Mason, noted that in many countries, the regulatory reform of the telecoms sector is not yet complete. “African Internet ecosystems grow strongest when a wide range of operators can offer service and exchange traffic, but in many countries regulatory and practical barriers remain to private investment.” This new report follows an Analysys Mason study commissioned by the Internet Society on the impact of IXPs in Kenya and Nigeria, which found that IXPs improve the quality of Internet services and save African operators millions of dollars annually in connectivity fees. The IXP study shows that a key factor in the success of IXPs is the availability of low-cost, widely-accessible connectivity, both domestically and across borders and oceans, and the study was commissioned to help address those gaps. The study is available for download: www.internetsociety.org/liftingbarriers _______________________________________________ As an Internet Society Chapter Officer you are automatically subscribed to this list, which is regularly synchronized with the Internet Society Chapter Portal (AMS): https://portal.isoc.org -- Barrack O.

[OT] House break-ins gone chemical
by Nd'wex Common 07 May '13

07 May '13

Hi, Well, if you live in a house with a metal door with 3locks ie top middle and bottom locking with a padlock on the middle one only, then I believe its the high time you made some adjustments to your door. Recently a friend of mine was "fumigated" (all pun intended) with chloroform, funny they knew where he kept his keys, so they proceeded to remove one of the panes, long metal or whatever it was grabbed the keys opened the padlock and using another device opened the lower lock and got away with whatever was in the sitting room. Everything in the bedroom was left intact. He wakes up in the morning, crazy headache, feeling weak and dizzy, somewhat realizes the door out is not locked, going to lock it still puzzled is when he finds gas cylinder missing and all electronics. A number of things you must do, - your keys should not be easily accessible especially from outside the house - if your door fits the aforementioned description, then ensure the other locks can be secured with a padlock or any other mechanism - know thy neighbour (the brothers and sister who regularly visit your house) - have all electronics in the bedroom (sooner or later they will find a way to get there with the drug still active)

Dear Listers*, * As we resolved during the last Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF), the Internet Society Kenya Chapter (ISOC KE) will be convening this year's KIGF. ISOC KE formed a working group to coordinate the planning and logistics of the same. The working group has slated the KIGF to be on the *26th July 2013 *at the *Strathmore University Business School.* The working group sat for two meetings and identified Internet Governance issues pertinent to the Internet and ICT sector in Kenya. These issues are not exhaustive and we therefore invite input from the public to propose topics of interest to be discussed at the KIGF. The topics can be drawn from the main IGF themes<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/2011-igf-nairobi/w2011/main-sessions-panelli…> or any issues that are of interest to Kenyans. Some of the topical areas proposed by the working group are: 1. Electronic Voting 2. CyberSecurity 3. Social Media: 4. Digital Migration 5. Legal Issues: Intellectual Property Rights, Data protection bill, 6. E-commerce 7. E-governance 8. ICT and Education 9. Connectivity Strategies: Emphasis in connecting the Counties 10. Universal Access: Universal Access Fund 11. Smart Cities: Konza as a case study 12. WCIT: Taking stock Please send your suggestions by replying to this email on or before *Monday 13th May*. Looking forward to your contributions.

by martin chege 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hi Guys, I have a space in UoN ideal for photocopy, cyber cafe, movies and printing. It is located near their student centre hence huge traffic. If you have done business in campus, you know all you need is the space. There is no licence fee, no goodwill and of course no low months (apart from two weeks break during Christmas). The space is up for lease. If interested, contact me off list. Regards, Martin Chege

Of processors, RAM, and 64bit vs 32bit Operating Systems
by Peter Karunyu 04 May '13

04 May '13

So I am having this argument of a lifetime with a respected, local techie journalist: *His argument:* That increasing the RAM of a computer does not necessarily increase its speed or responsiveness. *If you add more RAM, the processor speed wont change in any way, you will only have huge jobs stored on the RAM (Because of its large capacity) but the processing time will be the same, hence the computer wont be fast enough as you would expect.* *My argument* That he is nuts and should be stripped of the respected techie journalist tag. I hold that more RAM will definitely result into some speed improvement. *The source of the argument:* An Apple MacBook (13-inch, Late 2007) <http://support.apple.com/kb/sp12>, with a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo <http://ark.intel.com/products/30781>, and currently with 1GB DDR 2 PC2-5300 RAM. The laptop is running Mac OS X 10.5. Now, he says that upgrading this machine to 4GB is a waste of money, since there will be no change in the speed of the laptop, because, that processor can only handle 1GB, the factory installed RAM. Can a more learned skunk explain the folly of my/his argument.

PC BSD 9.1 X11 reconfiguration problem
by Martin Chiteri 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hello everyone, Yesternight I accidentally fumbled with the system on my laptop and ended up sending instructions to it so that the graphics configuration wizard started on the next reboot. Right now, I only see the screen that asks if the video driver and other monitor details identified (aspect ratio, resolution and number of pixel depth) identified are correct. They _are_ all correct but the system just goes blank when you ask it to save the fresh configurations. I am stuck now and kind-of too smug to boot into the Windows Seven partition. In any case, none of the tools I need can be found there. I have visited the PC-BSD forums but it seems their servers are "experiencing technical difficulties" at the moment ( try this http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Display ). Has anyone had a similar problem before and how did she / he get over it? Normally I would restart my machine and go through the whole procedure. This has not worked up to now for me. Thank you. Martin.

Start Time/End Time Logic
by Bwana Lawi 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hi guys, Programmers, what algorithm would you use to check that a given time (current timestamp in 24hr) is within a preset start and end times and if so, do specific stuff? Scenario: StartTime = 0600 EndTime = 1800 TimeNow = 0950 An algorithm like If TimeNow >= StartTime and <= EndTime then allow would work However, this will not work if the Start/End time spans across 2 days: StartTime = 1800 EndTime = 0600 TimeNow = 0550 Using the logic will fail yet 0550 is logically within the preset timeframe

Machine: Hp Proliant ML 350 HDD: Serial SCSI 72GB x2 Situation: Client restarted the machine and never went beyond the Windows Bootup logo.

To say the least there is DATA in those drives Oh and am told HDD0 was producing some sound "clicking" as if the heads are nuts Anyone with an idea? And would deleting an array tamper with the partition Integrity? With Kind regards Morris.
