Pasha (Digital Villages) Update
by Paul Kukubo 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Listers further to the discussion last week, please see below: 1. Link to the review report developed by Deloitte on the Pasha centers. This report is developed quarterly. http://www.scribd.com/doc/138670682/2013-04-30-Brief-Pasha-Project. 2. Our press release following the meeting with Pasha Centre owners yesterday and the subsequent announcement of our bandwidth subsidy program. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Government to offer bandwidth support to Digital Villages Nairobi, 29th April 2013: The Government through the Kenya ICT Board will from May this year offer a 90 per cent subsidy on internet purchase to all Digital villages (Pasha Centres). The bandwidth support will be provided under the Transparency Communication Infrastructure Project (TCIP), which is funded by World Bank. The objective of the Bandwidth Capacity Support is to enable the 63 Digital villages to purchase high quality and affordable connectivity for their centres to enable information sharing and offer affordable access in rural areas. Speaking during a workshop in Nairobi with Pasha Managers, The Kenya ICT Board CEO, Mr Paul Kukubo said, “We have recognized that the major challenges surrounding internet access for Pashas centres are connectivity and affordability. As a solution we have decided to subsidise the internet costs.” The government will pay 90 per cent of the internet access costs while Pasha Managers will pay the remaining 10 per cent. The Initial support will last 18 months and will cover internet connection costs but exclude the purchase of connectivity equipment. To qualify for the internet access subsidy both pasha managers will first identify the Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) that they will work with and submit prescribed documents in order to take advantage of the support. ISPs will have to be registered by CCK as a provider of the services. “Pasha centres are strategically placed to bring ICT services to their communities. To succeed they need to take advantage of devolution opportunities and respond to the government agenda of delivering digital education in remote areas,” challenged Mr Kukubo. The workshop brought together heads of digital villages and leading ISP companies to agree on the modalities that will be applicable on the subsidy.

Competitive server pricing
by Adam Nelson 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Does anybody know of high quality server vendors with pricing that is competitive with these guys and still high quality? http://www.siliconmechanics.com/c1246/rack-server-products.php For a $5k server, shipping costs about $700 from the US plus about $125 for import declaration fee (IDF) and apparently no VAT? I've been told that vendors in Malaysia, Taiwan and China are good but I don't know of any. Local resellers seem to focus on HP or IBM (or Dell, which I don't like) and are very expensive. Cheers, Adam P.S. - I know it's inevitable that this email will trigger a barrage to my inbox from vendors. If you really must, please check the Silicon Mechanics site and make sure your pricing is no more than 50% more than their's before sending stuff over.

IEBC election results
by Laban Mwangi 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

I remember there was a download made available awhile back of the election results from IEBC. Does anyone know where this archive might be? The ideal dataset would be the results at the county level in a csv. Something similar to: Baringo, XX,XX,XX,XX The data from IEBC is ridiculously large. Each archive (per constituency.. i think) weighs in at more than .5GB.

I would not recommend you use ipage.com I used to host several sites with them. When you initially setup an account with them, it is $45 USD or something close to that for one year of hosting. Then after the year is done and you wish to renew, the renewal fee is more than $120 USD. I asked them why the hight rates and I was told the initial $45 USD I paid was a promotional offer. Funny, why did they not tell me about that? I learned the hard way, and changed my hosting provider. I now use stablehost.com and couldn't be happier.

In addition to doing the following on measly Android phones (iPhone use supreme European technology or something): - Read your SMS from your comp - Copy files to and from your phone - Open links on your phone The new version can - work remotely, you don't need to be in the same network (limit 100 MB dat atransfer for free or 1 GB for premium, 60 day premium trial available) - Access both back and front camera, without any sound or notification, even when phone is locked - Show the location of your phone (This and above feature are good for security) you can find it here http://goo.gl/RnpnG and to use on your comp https://web.airdroid.com Would like to know if there's a way to lock Cyanogen mod on your comp, or a way to prevent anyone from installing any ROM on your phone. This way, if anyone stole your phone, you would prevent them from flashing a different ROM. Is there a way to also lock an app such that it cannot be uninstalled - perhaps set it as a system app -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>

Nairobi Phone Thief Caught Red Handed - Phone App Takes His Picture As He Tried To Unlock It
by Kevin Omondi 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Skunks, The story below is hillarious. Has anyone been able to trace a stolen phone using one of these apps ( e.g Lookout and Xtrasec) Regards Kevin 18 April 2013 , By noreply(a)blogger.com (nairobi wire) <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T6TZL9z0DyM/UXA-t-r0vxI/AAAAAAAAU4E/88HbVKd9oRg/s…> If you have a smart phone, then you can easily put a face on the person who will steal your phone, should it come to that. Several applications available on android market (Google Play) and iTunes, provide recovery solutions in case you report a phone as stolen. Some apps use the phone GPS to calculate its location and send the details to a provided email. Others alert the rightful owner when a different sim card is inserted, and even provide the number of that sim card. Others take a picture of the culprit using the front facing camera, if available. The effectiveness of this apps has not always been something to write about, but yesterday, a lucky phone theft victim received an email that will probably save many phones. Martin Githinji had lost his phone one week ago in a matatu at Kahawa Wendani, but luckily for him, he had installed XTraSEC, a phone security app. Yesterday, Martin received an email with a picture of the suspect. Yes, the app had worked. Apparently, as the suspected thief tried to unlock it, he made too many attempts, triggering the app to take the snapshot. Martin has now started a social media campaign to track the suspect down. According to the official XtraSec site, the application has the following features. ✔ Find Phone(with auto turn on GPS) ✔ Phone alert (make your phone scream!) ✔ Remotely SPY capture photo ✔ SPY Auto capture on invalid lockscreen password entered ✔ Detect SIM replacement ✔ Remotely turn on WiFi or 3G data using SMS ✔ Remotely check battery info ✔ Remotely check telephony info ✔ Remotely phone lock with PIN ✔ Remotely phone and SD data wipe ✔ Wipe proof (XtraSEC survive on factory restore) So now you cannot say you didn't know. Share this information and help your friends track down their phone thieves.

Facebook Virus
by Norman Boinett 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hi Listers, there seems to be a virus targeting facebook accounts. A friends accounts has been jacked.(see Pic) -- *“And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order of things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies,and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries . . . and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have actually had personal experience of them.” * (From Chapter VI of Niccoló Machiavelli,The Prince. Peter Bondanella and Mark Musa,translators. Oxford University Press revised edition, 1984, p. 21.)

3G bandwidth usage
by Michael Pedersen 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hi Skunks, For a new cloud product I am working on I would like to try and keep track the exact bandwidth/traffic used for each individual client. This is particular useful in a scenario where the access to the system is through a 3G bandwidth bundle (i.e. Safcom), and the owner is blaming the system for "eating" his bundle when in fact an employee's Facebook/Youtube activity is to blame ;-) To this end I would like to know a bit more about how the 3G traffic is measured and billed by local telcos, and I hope someone on Skunks have the insights needed: 1. Most billing is listed as per megabyte (i.e. 4kes per MB without bundle), but is it "per started megabyte", "per started megabyte per minute", or simply "per 1048576 bytes", or ? 2. When a bundle gives you 1.5Gigabyte does it then give you 1500 megabytes or 1536 megabytes as it should ? 3. Is the activity measured as the IP content actually transferred (the body of the TCP/IP package) or is the TCP/IP package overhead included ? 4. If it is in fact the full IP frame including overhead then what is the typical/maximum MTU size in a 3g network ? Enjoy. Michael Pedersen

Hi there, I need to set up a test WiFi LAN at a site urgently and need to know what is out there that I can purchase straight. The external WiFi adapter is for desktop while the Nano will be wired to main facility LAN for inter-connectivity. I hope that covers everything. An indication of specs for the outdoor-based Nano station and WiFi adapter pair or their equivalent would be useful. I look to order more units for the most appropriate products. And contacts would be appreciated. Ben

Amazon Web Services Users
by Adam Nelson 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hello, Some of you may know that I'm contemplating the deployment of a cloud services product physically located in Nairobi but using OpenStack so that devops people can use standard APIs. Physically locating the machines in Kenya should improve latency and perceived uptime (due to cable cuts not affecting connectivity) and make life easier for developers, administrators and users ... but I wanted to validate that with people on this list. Is anybody already using Amazon Web Services or an OpenStack implementation? Is anybody using a VPS or similar solution and paying more than $40USD/month? Would anybody be interested in a product like this with similar pricing to Amazon's (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/)? If there were free trials, would people spend the time to learn more about how to leverage OpenStack APIs? Cheers, Adam

The Board New gTLD Committee, acting on behalf of the full Board, will now consider how to address the GAC Advice. To help inform this process, the Committee has directed staff to solicit comment on how it should address one element of the advice: safeguards applicable to broad categories of New gTLD strings. Accordingly, ICANN seeks public input on how the Board New gTLD Committee should address section IV.1.b and Annex I of the GAC Beijing Communiqué.**** Section II: Background: **** One of ICANN's key responsibilities is introducing and promoting competition in the registration of domain names, while ensuring the security and stability of the domain name system (DNS). Below are major milestones in the program leading up to the GAC Beijing Communiqué:**** - ICANN's Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) begins a policy development process to consider the introduction of new gTLDs in 2005**** - The "GAC Principles Regarding New gTLDs" is presented to the ICANN Board in 2007**** - ICANN Board adopted 19 specific GNSO policy recommendations for implementing new gTLDs in 2008**** - ICANN undertakes implementation process to address stakeholder concerns, such as the protection of intellectual property and community interests, consumer protection, and DNS stability during 2008-2011. This work includes public consultations, review, and input on multiple draft versions of the Applicant Guidebook**** - The Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) and the ICANN Board engage in intensive consultations regarding the GAC's "scorecard" advice on new gTLDs during first half of 2011**** - In June 2011, ICANN's Board of Directors approved the Guidebook incorporating most of the GAC's scorecard advice and authorized the launch of the New gTLD Program**** - ICANN opens the New gTLD application window on January 12, 2012. On June 11, 2012, ICANN reveals the 1,930 New gTLD applications received and posted them for public comment**** - On October 12, 2012, the GAC issues its Toronto Communiqué, indicating that "[t]he statements and commitments detailed in individual gTLD applications are a critical input to the GAC's work" and advised the ICANN Board "that it is necessary for all of these statements of commitment and objectives to be transformed into binding contractual commitments, subject to compliance oversight by ICANN."**** - On November 20, 2012, the GAC files and publicly posts 242 Early Warnings on individual New gTLD applications.**** - On February 5, 2013, in response to advice provided in the Toronto GAC Communiqué, the New gTLD Program Board Committee approves a public comment period on a proposed "Public Interest Commitments Specification" as a mechanism to transform application statements into binding contractual commitments, as well as to give applicants the opportunity to voluntarily submit to heightened public interest commitments. On March 6. 2013, ICANN posts the 499 PIC Specifications submitted by applicants.**** The GAC met during the ICANN Beijing Meeting and provided additional advice to the ICANN Board regarding the New gTLD program. Relevant to this public forum is Section IV.1.b of the GAC Beijing Communiqué, which states, "To reinforce existing processes for raising and addressing concerns the GAC is providing safeguard advice to apply to broad categories of strings." The safeguard advice appears in Annex I of the Beijing Communiqué. **** ICANN officially notified applicants of the publication of GAC Advice on April 18, 2013, triggering the 21-day applicant response period per the Applicant Guidebook Module 3.1. The applicants' responses and the input received in this Public Comment Forum will serve as important inputs to the New gTLD Board Committee's consideration of the GAC Advice.**** Section III: Document and Resource Links: **** - ICANN Announcement on GAC Advice Issued on New gTLDs<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/announcement-18apr13-en> **** - GAC Beijing Communiqué<http://www.icann.org/en/news/correspondence/gac-to-board-18apr13-en.pdf>[PDF, 156 KB] **** Section IV: Additional Information: **** N/A**** ------------------------------ (*) Comments submitted after the posted Close Date/Time are not guaranteed to be considered in any final summary, analysis, reporting, or decision-making that takes place once this period lapses.**** ** ** ** ** Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat *gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org* *http://gnso.icann.org***** ** ** _______________________________________________ AfrICANN mailing list AfrICANN(a)afrinic.net https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann -- Barrack O.

KPLC Prepaid Elec - Best Practices
by Odhiambo Washington 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

I recall sometime back when skunkers discussed this topic. How time flies - this was in 2011!!! http://lists.my.co.ke/pipermail/skunkworks/2011-May/048440.html Now I arrived home on Friday only to see Prepaid meters everywhere on the building! Actually these installers seem not to care about the damage they do to the beauty of the building. These meters are an eyesore to what I was used to. I wonder if there is a way to force the installers to do a better job. For starters, I want my meter installed in my sitting room, or on the kitchen door - a convenient place where I can see it give a warning. In our building they installed them at the same location where the postpaid meters are...staircases away for some neighbors. Can I see redress and get this rectified?

Corporate Sales In IT
by [db] 18 Apr '13

Hi People, What is Sales like in IT, am talking about the achievement of goals and whether its easy to meet targets. Just to put things into perspective, I would like to mention some organisations that are out there , i.e. Access Kenya, Wananchi and to know what its like to do sales for them. Is it a crowded market out there? What products sell and is it as tricky as the insurance sales. Reason I ask is because I am about to take an offer to do sales and would like to know what am getting into. I have over eight years experience in IT and would like to think that this may help me achieve the set targets. Any insights would be highly appreciated. [db]

Kenya as perceived in the Caribbean press
by Paul Kukubo 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Listers Following my recent visit to represent Dr Ndemo in Kingston Jamaica, on invitation from faculty at the University Of West Indies, Mona School of Business, the following article appeared in their leading local daily and online. The visit included presentations to the Business Leaders including meetings with CEOs of some of their leading companies, (including publicly listed Gracekennedy), visits to their university campus, meetings with the software developer groups including sitting through presentations by applications developers and an evening at the national stadium to watch the Technology Univeristy track and field games. (Incidentally the story of their athletics development is another story on its own, considering that Mona Campus hosts Usain Bolt's training track and the schools is developing a sports science and sports management degree). Jamaica GDP per capita 9100usd. Kenya 1200usd. Country feels and looks like Kenya in the 80s. One marked thing was the university students ability to articulate suggested that their English language instruction was very good and the University student lecturer relationship was very respectful. The quality of technical skills seemed very high, our developers see, a lot more business savvy from most of the tech fests I have attended here. We agreed to conclude partnership that would allow us to expose our developer community to theirs and vice versa. They have a deep interest in Kenyan developers and entrepreneurs who's have mobile application experience because they are just finalizing their regulations to allow mobile payments. It was an eye opener with respect to where opportunity may lie. Anyway, here is a link to the story. http://www.ict-pulse.com/2013/04/5-key-takeaways-ict-development-caribbean-… I shared this on tweeter and Facebook quite widely as it happened.

It could be hardware related. If its hardware, dd the content to another system asap. If nothing show hardware issues, mount it manual making sure you specify its a ntfs system. If that do through an error, make a image - if the data is important - and then run ntfsfix against it (From ntfs-tools) > > > > > > Regards, > > Hum4. > > > > __________ William _____________________________________ > > skunkworks mailing list > > skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke > > ------------ > > List info, subscribe/unsubscribe > > http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks > > ------------ > > > > Skunkworks Rules > > http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 > > ------------ > > Other services @ http://my.co.ke > > >

Recover Win7 NTFS HDD on linux
by Humphrey Kirui 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Skunks, I have a situation where an NTFS partitioned desktop HDD has failed after performing an automated Windows 7 Check Disk. I have tried to slave it on another Win 7 PC and perform a chckdsk /f. But reportedly "Drive is corrupted and inaccessible" On the other hand, I have Ubuntu and Fedora Live CDs which come in handy for data recovery when Windows fails. The failed HDD can be detected with tools like GParted, but reports a bad 'superblock', and cannot be mounted. Any ideas on how I can use any of these 2 distros for recovery? Regards, Hum4.

Hi folks, I have 6 DVDs that I need to label professionally. I have the label design ready. Any leads to where I can get this done within Nairobi? >From the Skunkworks Archives I have un-earthed some two likely but ooold recommendations (I'm yet to contact them): *Benson - 0725 200 919 mentioned by Gichingiri Kuria * *Paul from identity brands - 0725681110 mentioned by Oliver Ndegwa* PS : Either direct surface printing or paper printing (Tower W228 label ) will suffice.

HD on Zuku Sattelite
by Kevin Omondi 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Skunks, Is there any Zuku subcriber on this forum who is able to receive the additional HD channels ( Zuku Max HD, Zuku Sports HD) on Sattelite after the migration to the SE5 Transponder. The HD channels are blank. My hypothesis is that I could be having an older decoder ( the black ones) Does Zuku have the HD PVR equivalent to the ones with DSTV ie with HDMI output. Thanks Kevin

You mentioned a change in address.. Remember JavaScript ajax/json does not allow cross domain calls. I'd start by checking you urls to make sure that ain't the case.

PIVOT East Application Deadline Extended to 22nd April 2013
by Moses Kemibaro 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Everyone, Good morning. Over the last few weeks, the team from PIVOT East 2013 has been conducting weekly outreach workshop for applicants in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania. The last workshop was in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania earlier this week at KINU. Based on the feedback we have received from numerous PIVOT East 2013 applicants after each workshop, it became apparent that more time is needed to prepare their applications. On this basis, we are pleased to announce that we are extending the application deadline for PIVOT East 2013 by one more week from the 15th of April 2013 to the 22nd of April 2013. The additional week will enable PIVOT East 2013 applicants to submit their applications on time, as well as be as complete as possible. In addition, a good number of mobile developers throughout East Africa have only recently become aware of PIVOT East 2013 and as a result the extension of the deadline will assist them in finalising their applications for the competition in good time. Entries for PIVOT East 2013 are being received at http://entries.pivoteast.com Best regards, Moses Kemibaro Producer - PIVOT East 2013 www.pivoteast.com

Help: Can Public URL in Reference Links Cause Problem
by Samuel Waithaka 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi guys, I'm trying to troubleshoot a painfully slow application. Let me explain a bit: in the configuration, there is a url parameter which used by CSS and JS (url reference as opposed to relative), as well as application's base URL. This url is a public IP. In this arrangement, the application starts loading but after sometime it won't load anymore. It will stay trying to load page forever. Does this have anything to do with using public IP in the JS reference links? On the contrary, when the url parameter is changed to localhost and the application viewed locally, everything works OK. This application was running as described earlier; that was before until the ISP was changed. Has anyone experienced this or has an idea what could be wrong? -- Samuel Waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

Email Synchronization on Galaxy S3 Problematic
by Andrew Mutua 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi Guys, I have a user who migrated from Blackberry to Galaxy S3. We've configured Exchange ActiveSync for both office email and hotmail but it does seem to be pulling emails automatically- you always have to prompt it. Some time it does pull in email automatically but most of the time it does NOT. All settings in Data Usage and Synch have been set to synch automatically and background data restriction is disabled. What else am I missing? Have you had a similar experience and how did you resolve it. Thanks Andrew www.pamojatechconsulting.com

Debricking TP-LINK MR3040 3G-Wifi router
by Simon Mbuthia 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hey Skunks, Haven't been on list for a while. I have a TP-LINK MR3040 router that I bricked on the very day that I purchased it. I was trying to install OpenWRT on it and I think I ran a wrong command because the device stopped responding after I rebooted. I bought a CA-42 USB-TTL converter cable but I just don't have the time to do a Uboot debricking of the device. Is there anyone on list who would be able to revive the device? I can provide you with the USB-TTL converter and a link from which to purchase the latest firmware for the device so you can debrick it. Talk to me offlist if you can do this. Regards, Me

For those of you looking at embracing the future of LED lighting, here is a feature that pretty covers a few things you should know about LED lighting compared to conventional lighting http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2013/04/lighting Meanwhile, as for those "stand by" LED lights and fluorescent lights sold in supermarkets, how fast do their batteries degrade, soince most don't give info on which type of batteries they use. I'm assuming they all use LeadAcid. -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>
