Unlimited Internet - Is this possible ?
by Stephen 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Received below email, There is no mention of infrastructure, all I see mentioned is "Modem with HSPA" If one is to use a Mobile Network modem, which needs simcards, even if the software works to create an Internet tunnel, all this "unlimited data" will have to pass through someone's infrastructure, and you will be charged for it.. Maybe I have not understood this "offer" Sent from some iPad Begin forwarded message: > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Hezron Apunza <hezron.apunza(a)digitalalliance.co.ke> > Subject: Fwd: Unlimited Internet > > > Date: Mon, Dec 31, 2012 at 10:44 AM > Dear Customer, > > I am Hezron Kevin Apunza from Kenya Digital Alliance.

First Rant
by Sham Kanji 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Hey Skunkers and Skunketts, Let me start with Seasons greetings and best wishes for all! May 2013 surpass and yield all the rewards of your labor. So first rant and yes, you may have guessed it - it's Zuku! Now while I also have Access Kenya as my primary ISP. I now largely keep Zuku for the TV. And since it's triple play, all services are tied in. I was working, 5 minutes to midnight (new year's), TV goes down, Internet, basically all services. It's almost 11am on the 1st, still no resumption of TV. And please don't get me started on the repeats! For the 1st year you will be fine, I've been watching repeats for the last 3 years, many shows will repeat 4-8 times in a week. I DO WONDER IF ITS ON A LOOP OF SOME SORT? Great start Zuku! Congrats on starting the year right on queue and meeting all our expectations. I'm still waiting for the Fibre Cut SMS you SOMETIMES send out. Isn't it strange that Zuku is always hit by CUTS, yet they continue to spend on advertising everywhere. Perhaps they should be more concerned about increasing their customer base; aren't they also increasing their base of customer rants given the algorithm? Happy New Year! Sham

Re: [Skunkworks] Orange offer on iPhone 5
by William Muriithi 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

> Currently the price of a nexus 4 on a google play/store is _usd 266 or something about there, for its unavailability it has gone up to usd600 if you check on Amazon or ebay making its price same as an Iphone 4s or 5 on a good deal > Only if you can't wait. Just place an order on Google market and wait for 6 weeks. That's what I did and patiently waiting for it. The $600 on ebay are second hand phones, someone ordered it from Google turned around and is selling it almost twice on ebay. I remember when the new VW beetle came out around 2002, they were also selling around twice on ebay.

M-SHWARI using account savings as security
by Jacob Ayienda 23 Dec '12

23 Dec '12

Just realized I can't withdraw cash from my mshwari account I had deposited by accident which I had meant to pay a loan I had taken. Initially I thought mpesa was experiencing downtime only to realize everything else worked okay. Then it hit me. The amount is being used as security for what I had borrowed earlier something I don't remember reading in the terms of use. If it is a bug then that's unfortunate because now I can't pay back the loan owed as the money is locked in the mshwari a/c and repayment is down through mpesa. ***insert insult here***

Airtel Data: 3G, FUPs and all..
by Areba Collins [ ＠BrainiacKE ® ] 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Hi guys, Ive been a loyal Orange user but im in a scenario where im stuck with having to try an alternative that is not safaricom for a certain project.... Could anyone break it down to me on this list as this information seems scanty... Airtel Unlimited Daily 200 bob, FUP? is it xxxxxxhrs to xxxxxxhrs 24 hours later or is it xxxxxx to 00000hrs like they used to do it in another network. What about coverage? how good / bad are latencies? I know its subjective and unreliable, but just shoot off your head... Ill appreciate, and wish you a merrier christmas than if you did not help. :-) Cheers... -- *“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy”*

Request for expression of interest: simple website maintenance and modifications
by Peter Karunyu 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Good morning people of skunkville, An entity I am temporarily representing is seeking to find an individual or extremely small company to be doing routine maintenance on their very simple, raw PHP & MySQL powered website hosted remotely on a Linux server. This maintenance happens like once every month or so, and requires one to be on-site. They don't work weekends. The said website is done using very simple and basic PHP, nothing fancy. A section of that site needs to be redone, will result in abt 2 or 3 pages to be newly built. Due to certain technical restrictions, they use a custom CMS, which is also done in very simple and straightforward PHP. Their budget is limited, so if you are thinking of a figure with more than 4 digits, there is a high chance yours shall be ignored. And for the purposes of full disclosure, if the words Joomla or Wordpress somehow show up in your EOI, well, I cannot guarantee it getting to the entity :-) Send me thine rates offline. -- Regards, Peter Karunyu -------------------

Safaricom on facebook
by John Doe Smith Kamau KipNg'etich Jones 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

I pity safcom's PR team. Looking at their facebook page, one can wonder how they sleep at night... whatever comment they make (be it bad, or good, or even uplifting), they'll get the same ton of hate and spite they've been getting everyday for months now. since they can't disable facebook comments on some posts, I guess they could (or should) already be considering killing the facebook page altogether.. but i guess safcom needs to understand that the average safcom user is tech-dumb. not stupid.... they just know tech-ish stuff.. a common facebook-complaint is how safcom "steals" people's airtime. from my own experience with such a "victim", i guess most of them have android phones. a user may avoid browsing on their android phones and think they're not spending any data, oblivious of the background data transfers their phones have running.... so when they are "robbed" of 500 bob of cred in an hour, u can imagine they kind of spite they'll leave on safcom's page when "suffericom" wishes everyone a great xmas... .... another "victim" i know was cross with "the bitter option". after buying a 1.5gb bundle for 1k, safcom "unceremoniously continued to deduct 25bob from his cred daily for one of those daily-data-bundles". from that, i guess many other victims have some sought of expectation on safcom's technology... after all, why should the system give him that daily data bundle after the same system awarded him 1.5gb of data :-) and then of course.... there's mpesa. a few months ago, bob mentioned mpesa would be transfered to kenya... in 18months. for those who dont know, mpesa runs on rackspace service from uk/germany (i wonder who's idea that was :-D). so when the sharks at the red sea get hungry, noone get's to transact on mpesa. safcom is lucky to have mpesa built the way it is... a walled garden. its the only reason "victims" continue to be "robbed" and still stay on "safcon". well... they're not really robbed... but that doesnt matter. they feel robbed.... that's what matters. and "sufferi-con" should tackle that issue. safcom's many customers feel like wives/girlfriends who are trapped in abusive relationships. safcom doesn't appear to know this... or perhaps they do. perhaps they know they can give raw deals, take away services their consumers love (you should read comments on the cancelled unlimited-sms thing), and steal maintain customer numbers. ... safcom just needs to do small things btw. those are the things that matter most. like... i'd love to have the option of having my data billed on bundles only, and not my cred too. or.. they could remind that victim that while they're buying a large data bundle, they'll have to manually unsubscribe from the daily bundle (or better yet, do it automatically) to the many that comment on safcom's facebook page, safcom is a wife beater... widening their margins at the expense of consumer experience and consumer value. their latest "beating" is the sms issue... i rarely used that service, but you'll be surprised how many people valued it. you can almost feel the huge demand for that service, and almost cringe at how safcom snobs such consumer demand and continue to exploit their mpesa-grasp on users. ... at this rate, safcom's users will snap in a mass and sudden exodus. looking at customer feedback on their page, and how long its been there, it looks like customer-satisfaction is number 2 to profits. its startling that safcom doesn't appear to give a rat's ass for the nature of customer feedback on their safcom page. they kinda have customers who buy from them, but who still riot because of all the "service wife-beating". safcom customer care rep's must be taking some strong stuff to keep up smiling faces when operating that page.... i want that stuff btw (hola if ur a customer care rep at safcon :-D) safcom is already loosing market share. mpesa will hold back users only for so long. and with its frequent service issues, airtel/yu/orange should start prepping for the avalanche... wish i had a blog for moments like this one :-)

Fwd: Advisory - D-root is changing its IPv4 address on the 3rd of January
by Michuki Mwangi 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

FYI For those of you administrating DNS servers https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2012-December/009428.ht… - - - Begin forwarded message - From: Jason Castonguay <castongj(a)umd.edu> Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:54:41 -0500 Advisory — D-root is changing its IPv4 address on the 3rd of January. This is advance notice that there is a scheduled change to the IPv4 address for one of the authorities listed for the DNS root zone and the .ARPA TLD. The change is to D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is administered by the University of Maryland. The new IPv4 address for this authority is 199.7.91.13 The current IPv6 address for this authority is 2001:500:2d::d and it will continue to remain unchanged. This change is anticipated to be implemented in the root zone on 3 January 2013, however the new address is currently operational. It will replace the previous IP address of 128.8.10.90 (also once known as TERP.UMD.EDU) We encourage operators of DNS infrastructure to update any references to the old IP address, and replace it with the new address. In particular, many DNS resolvers have a DNS root “hints” file. This should be updated with the new IP address. New hints files will be available at the following URLs once the change has been formally executed: http://www.internic.net/domain/named.root http://www.internic.net/domain/named.cache The old address will continue to work for at least six months after the transition, but will ultimately be retired from service. - -- Jason Castonguay Network Integration Software Engineer Division of Information Technology University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 - - - END forwarded message - - - _______________________________________________ afnog mailing list http://afnog.org/mailman/listinfo/afnog

We love boobs.... especially yours skunk lady! :-D
by John Doe Smith Kamau KipNg'etich Jones 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Dear skunk lady, yes... every dude in this list oggles at ur boobs... they're amazing. [and some do more than just..ahem cough cough] anyways.... it would sadden us greatly to see them go to breast cancer. It's about time you start to show them some love yourself.... after all, you'll soon get (if not yet already) that awesome girl/boyfriend thanks to them! To get started on how to take care of em' juggleez, go to the playstore app on your android phone and search for "i love my boobs". While its downloading (its just over 15mb), you can give the app a 5 star rating just for having ur boob's best interest at heart :-) and yes.... a certain girlcalled Eve (the maker of the app) will make a special pink & purple version for all you macho doods in here :-D (yes... doods can get breast cancer too!) anyways... get the app! and rate it!! the more you download it, the higher my chances of getting laid for this shameless marketting!! help my cause!!

Re: [Skunkworks] BEST OUTDOOR WIFI AP.
by Ti Dave 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi everyone,,, Hp ur taking it easy even with the monday blues, Thanks for all the information everyone has managed to offer here. - Kipng'etich Kamau (lol) for tht information about how to position the AP's and the comparision on Picostation and Nanostation in terms of perfomance. And for mentioning the wifi distribution in a wimax kind of way (which is what am avoiding at all cost at the moment). And the recommendation on antennae gains for this kind of setting and finally the contacts of that supplier. - Job and Peter am targeting close to 300 houses, but I mentioned 100 houses to give you a guage on kind of power I need on that particular AP. Bt thanks for clearing that I cant achieve that with just one AP. Which I agree. Am running a Zyxel WIFI gateway which has a small printer than I can use to print out Airtime tokken. However the range on its inbuilt AP can only hit my next door neighbour with 2-3 signal at the moment. This is where the need for a more powerful AP has risen from and the info above is priceless. Has anyone used TP LINK and EnGenius products. Let me know how they compair to Ubiquiti products like nano and picostations. * * <http://www.engeniustech.com/> On Mon, Dec 17, 2012 at 7:40 AM, peter Ngali <peterngali(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Dave, > > I trust you are well. > > What you want to achieve is not possible with one or four antennae.

Re: [Skunkworks] Zuku Internet & Gandhi

IT was Mahatma Gandhi who in a speech in South Africa in 1890 said: “A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption of our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider of our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to do so.” From: skunkworks-bounces(a)lists.my.co.ke [mailto:skunkworks-bounces@lists.my.co.ke] On Behalf Of Odhiambo Washington Sent: November-20-12 4:42 PM To: richard were; Skunkworks Mailing List Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Zuku Internet Respectful to the service providers is a new vocabulary I've heard today.

When someone gets to the point where they get to vent in a public forum, it is not diplomacy they are seeking and so a diplomat's opinion like what you appear to push forward is uncalled for. Will you maintain this level of diplomacy (or coolness) when you don't have service for, say, 3 days? Yet you continue to be billed and pay? Have a diplomatic evening, peeps!

The Ten Reasons Why You Think You Can't Use (GNU)/Linux
by Evans Ikua 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

In a recent article for LPI's blog, Jon "maddog" Hall in true festive fashion outlines "Ten Reasons Why You Can't Use GNU/Linux" ;-) "Many years ago I was still working for Digital Equipment Corporation, but I was also going around the world talking about Free Software and GNU/Linux. As I talked with people, they would come up to me and say “I would use Linux except it....” and they would go on and give their reason why they were not using Free Software. I would then tell them why their reason either had never been correct (it was FUD from some closed-source company) or it was no longer correct (it had been correct at one time but was no longer an issue). After a while I realized that for the most part I was answering the same questions over and over again, so I wrote a talk called: “*The Ten Reasons Why You Think You Can't Use (GNU)/Linux”* subtitled: “*And the Ten Reasons Why Those Ten Reasons Are Crap”* Please read more: See: http://www.lpi.org/blog/ten-reasons-why-you-cant-use-gnulinux -- *---------------------------------------------------- Kind Regards, Evans Ikua,* lanetconsulting.com, lpi-eastafrica.org, ict-innovation.fossfa.net, Skype: @ikuae Cell: +254-722-955831

Interview on Silicon Savanah
by Paul Kukubo 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Silicon Savannah: Time to grow up? Business Focus<http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/category/articles/business-focus/>, Feature Articles<http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/category/articles/feature-articles/>, ICT <http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/category/sectors/ict/>, Kenya<http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/category/countries/kenya/>| BY Jonathan Kalan <http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/author/jonathan-kalan/> | November 6, 2012 at 14:50 ------------------------------ inSharThere*Interesting article in response to a debate that raged online on whether the current tech sector is over-hyped. I called in the writer for a discussion on the same and this is the resultant interview. http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/silicon-savannah-time-to-grow-up/21932/?… It’s raining in the Silicon Savannah, and unlike Nairobi’s unbearable traffic problem, no app has emerged promising to stop it.* Paul Kukubo, CEO of Kenya's ICT Board, says the current debate about the state of Silicon Savannah is "not discouraging people, it’s making them think again". Inside the colourful and buzzing tech corridors of Africa’s first technology boom town, whispered conversations between investors are becoming amplified. Criticism, candid commentary and a dose of reality are dropping in from bloggers and pundits, challenging Kenya’s image as a place where African technology magic happens, where successful startups, apps, and entrepreneurs flow like water. Over the past two years, media and the startups they cover have shared the responsibility of painting a glorified picture of Nairobi’s startup scene. They have built a collective hype that’s attracted investors, entrepreneurs and even journalists. Yet for those who have arrived and stayed, what they have found is neither a vast oasis of untapped innovation, nor a dry and dusty savannah filled with empty promises. The reality lies somewhere in between – essentially a very young ecosystem with great potential, but one that also needs to mature and grow up. As the choir gets louder, one thing is becoming apparent – a little rain on Kenya’s technology parade might actually be a good thing. It’s time for companies to sink or swim, for the good seeds to grow and the bad to be washed away. Software and app startups are a dime a dozen here. Yet few are finding funding, and even fewer are actually making money. Entrepreneurialism has become a profession itself, and many young entrepreneurs are lacking the experience, training, and business acumen to make companies grow. This is something investors notice quite quickly. “High expectations, big disappointment,” is how Kenyan blogger Kachwanya described Kenya’s current tech landscape, in a blog post that received 27 heated comments. Andrea Bohnstedt, an investment risk analyst and columnist wrote in a local Kenyan paper “there’s hype and then there’s business. Nairobi’s ‘Silicon Savannah’ is in desperate need of a large dose not of money, but of modesty”. In a recent piece for *Impact IQ, *I myself wrote of “vanity capital and vanity companies”, referring to the fact that entrepreneurs with half-baked ideas and a collection of buzzwords are “falling for too many carrots, chasing free money to satisfy overeager funders”. Last month, even iHub, Kenya’s most established and successful innovation hub, held a full-house event titled ‘Silicon Savannah – Reality Check’, to have “a brutally honest discussion around what’s really going on in Silicon Savannah”. To get to the bottom – or really the top – of Kenya’s ICT scene, I recently sat down with Paul Kukubo, the chief executive officer of Kenya’s ICT Board, to get his take on this Silicon Savannah debate. *What is your take on the argument that there’s “too much hype” surrounding Kenya’s technology scene? Is a bubble about to burst?* We need good debates. The guys who bring up these issues are important to solving the sector issues, and it’s a healthy debate. It’s not discouraging people, it’s making them think again. If anything, it’s not hyped enough. Kenya’s app-fuelled startup scene is a very small sector, with a few people who are active on Twitter following each other. It’s important to understand that Kenya’s 20% growth in ICT<http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/category/sectors/ict/>is coming from a multiplicity of businesses and tiers, not just from the small startups. At the top of the ladder are the multinational corporations, like IBM and Oracle. Then there is the partner ecosystem – the companies that feed off this multinational tier as partners and distribution channels. Then, there are companies that do a bit of everything, creating software products, either by utilising open source systems or developing code from scratch. These are traditional software writers, systems that run schools or financial systems. Finally, you have the apps companies, a new generation of companies that have an innovation agenda. You get attention with the most sexy app, or the one that does the most sensible thing. Their role is to break the rules, articulate needs at the community level, innovate, and customisation for the market. Top tiers, like Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, are the large money generators, but the app model is what’s being developing around the world, and you cannot rank these things. Just like you need Oracle, you need Angry Birds. That’s why we love this scenario, and don’t want to mess it up. It’s nice when you have a culture where young people take the initiative to create. That has its own momentum. It’s creating a culture of creating, which is what all governments around the world spend so much time teaching the young people to do. *You see many foreign investors coming through your office. What are their concerns with the Kenyan market?* Some of them say they came in too early, some say they wish they came in earlier. Their biggest concerns are not about the ideas. They think the ideas are exactly the same. What they say is that the culture of doing business among these technology entrepreneurs has to be strengthened, in terms of things like reporting back. Venture capital money is not like donor money. It’s very strictly commercial. VCs are finding there are sometimes discipline issues, inability to comply with requirements, and a culture around their obligation towards repayment. I’m on record as saying I fear that we can create a donor dependency. You don’t want donor money to crowd out the private sector. But, I think it straightens itself out. The market is the best judge. It’s a learning curve, and you need to go through that curve. People don’t understand technology enough to invest in technology companies. I think that that’s changing. If anything, that’s changing faster here than it’s changing anywhere else. *What is the media’s role in this?* Writers are like small companies. They also need to write. So, we now need a new angle – this ecosystem needs a new angle. You read about the *Silicon Alley Insider, *the role that magazine played in building Silicon Valley, it was exactly the same. We need a good technology writing clique to decipher the stories actually surrounding this debate. What we also need is better reporting so the failures can be highlighted. When it comes to failures, there are many. You don’t know them because many don’t exist in the structured labs and hubs. They are working in their bedrooms, in the schools, in rural areas. *In 5-10 years, where do you see Kenya’s tech scene? What does it need to get there?* Some companies will grow and become big, some companies will become mid tier, some will become acquired, and many will fail. That’s just the way it has to be. We need this many startups because the ratio of failure to success by definition must be high. There are companies littered all over the Silicon Valley roads. Many of these companies are going nowhere, others will become millionaires. We need people to actually start to solve problems by understanding problems well. We have needs in agriculture<http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/category/sectors/agriculture-sectors-2/>, health care, retail<http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/category/sectors/retail-sectors/>, mining<http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/category/sectors/mining-minerals/>, public sector – everywhere. Most importantly, we need a new kind of entrepreneur. Someone who’s young, has worked for a larger tech company for a few years, who understands business process. We don’t have many of these yet, but they are emerging. *(interview edited for length and clarity)* Paul Kukubo Chief Executive Officer, Kenya ICT Board PO Box 27150 - 00100 Nairobi, Kenya 12th Floor, Teleposta Towers Koinange Street Tel +254 20 2089061, +254 20 2211960 Fax: +254 20 2211962 website: www.ict.go.ke local content project: www.tandaa.co.ke, www.facebook.com/tandaakenya twitter:@tandaaKENYA BPO Project: www. doitinkenya.co.ke Digital Villages Project: www.pasha.co.ke personal contacts _______________ Cell: + 254 717 180001 skype: kukubopaul googletalk: pkukubo personal blog: www.paulkukubo.co.ke personal twitter: @pkukubo ____________________ Vision: Kenya becomes a top ten global ICT hub Mission: To champion and actively enable Kenya to adopt and exploit ICT, through promotion of partnerships, investments and infrastructure growth for socio economic enrichment

Listers sorry for cross posting: Dear Omtata, Ill begin with a statement I read somewhere: "An elephant is a rat built to government specifications". That Said & Done, the person answerable to us on this matter must, and has to be the PS , Daktari Ndemo. The assumption has to be that Due diligence was followed (or should have been followed) and procurement of these gadgets involved the necessary ministries for technology oversight. That said, I doubt that the procured equipment was of the order that you find on Kimathi street or other local suppliers. As interested parties in the security of the nation, I would assume that only military grade equipment would do, where various organs, NSIS, KDOD & other uniforms would put in requirements for this that would then be added up to determine the scope. Considering our military is a highly secretive one, and that procurements come to be heard of years later, and factoring in the fact that while latest trends show that our learnings have been to the east when procuring hardware, we still maintain a "joined in the hip" relationship with some western leaning nations such as Israel. It would therefore not be inimaginable that some obscure "additions" might have been added onto the mix to do more specific tasks than just "seeing". In which case then securing these 51 installations, getting the relevant persons trained to the right skill set and running interferance would easily hit that mark. but who knows, maybe we have an unmanned predator hovering over the city doing all this.

Advice on accesskenya service
by Kevin Omondi 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Skunk I got the accesskenya acess@home broadband service ( most misused word by kneyna isps) I subscribed for the elite package that is supposed to give me IMb in the evenings and weekends. I was dissatisifed with the speeds as it was much slower than my orange modem ( downlaoding a 40 MB file would take about 6 hours) and I cannot barely stream an SD youtube video. To make matters worse I have been offline for the last few days making calls to their customer service till Im really frustrated. Wasnt access supposed to be the best service. Shoudnt 1mb be able to stream even youtube HD. Is there an alternate ISP I can subscribe to ( No zuku in buruburu) - Thx Kevin

Linux brings over €10 million savings for Munich
by maina 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Over €10 million (approximately £8 million or $12.8 million) has been saved by the city of Munich, thanks to its development and use of the city's own Linux platform. The calculation of savings follows a question by the city council's independent Free Voters <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Voters>(Freie Wähler) group, which led to Munich's municipal LiMux project presenting a comparative budget calculation at the meeting of the city council's IT committee on Wednesday. The calculation compares the current overall cost of the LiMux migration with that of two technologically equivalent Windows scenarios: Windows with Microsoft Office and Windows with OpenOffice. Reportedly, savings amount to over €10 million............. http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Linux-brings-over-EUR10-million-savi… Regards -- David Maina. P. O. Box 8310-00200, NAIROBI, KENYA..
