Interpretation of the KICTB report to an economical meaning : For the C# & ASP.NET group/list/forum
by aki 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

It's a pretty significant report, and there are areas that hold a lot of value for developers. For example, Computer Hardware holds about 78% while software development 6%. For those in the C# and ASP.NET group/list the above 78% represents a segment, assuming 50% are Windows Based PC's, then it would be worthwhile for the community to research and tap into. Combine it with Web technology and the 6% software development will increase. Am still looking at the SMS/Web/Internet figures and will share further.

Re: [Skunkworks] <OT>Banks lending rates between 24-31%

In fact, if it was driven by the global economy, where future outlook look bad - some are predicting we may be in the first three year of a 10 year recession - the interest rate should be coming down. Google for interest rate in the so called developed countries. This is purely driven by inflation pressure, which was the same case during the Goldenberg scam - they had effectively printed money by the truck load. Two thing are likely to have triggered it this time: 1) Kenya economy has been producing far less than what it produce for the last couple of years. They could have resulted to Kenya having a horrible high debt and further leading to Kenya now looks very risky. The high interest rate is therefore the premium of what we need to pay to compensate the lenders for taking a high risk to lend to us 2) The scum-burgs in the governments are printing money again to finance their pet personal projects aka scam, in another word, the same thing that triggered the interest in the early 90s Kind of hard to tell what is good now. If you have a lone, lets say 1 million, you are expected to pay 250 K in interest every year and I do not see anything in the market that can produce that kind of return. So in effect, the effectively killed any further investment and growth is bound to go south On the other hard, if they look the other way and let inflation keep going north, that also look horrible to both investors, employees and importers, heck just about everybody. You just have to look to Mugambe land and it does not look rosy too. Its a kind of fucked up situation really and not sure there is any good alternative any way. We will see Muriithi > Some thoughts? >

Who will own the classifieds space in East Africa
by Mbugua Njihia 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

The recent closure of Kalahari locally and in other African markets put into sharp focus the current state of m and e commerce in Kenya. A number of conversations I had in the past week pointed to the need for a service that "breaks the ice" for consumers to appreciate buying and selling of goods online and on mobile. The service of choice was seen as classifieds. A simple search for classifieds online will bring a whole list of providers, with all, more often than not calling themselves the number one destination. Cutting to the chase, let us look at those I consider major players and what they may or may not be doing right. - bit.ly/u4aeBk

Safaricom Internet Throttling?
by Dennis Kioko 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

I have noticed that one of my Safaricom lines cannot exceed internet speed of 30 kilobytes per second, or about 256 Kbps. <geektalk> I have even flashed my ZTE blade numerously, upgraded it from Generation 1 to Generation 2 firmware, just to make sure that the ROM I was using was not flawed and even losing my WiFi MAC address in the process (now recovered). </geektalk> Today, I decided to do the test on two devices just to make sure that it wasn't my ZTE Blade. I used the line on a ZTE Blade and Huawei IDEOS S7 Slim tablet. In both devices, the line still maxes out at about 30 KiB/s. An Airtel line on my ZTE Blade hits 124 KiB/s (992 Kbps) while my other Safaricom line goes above 100 KiB/s (800 Kbps) on the tablet. Question: Does this mean that Safaricom has throttled some lines at the speed of their unlimited bundles (256 Kbps)? I have never bought an unlimited bundle. Anyone else experienced the same , or it is just some weird problem limited to my line and devices? -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>

Julisha National ICT Survey Results released by Kenya ICT Board
by Paul Kukubo 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Listers Kenya ICT Board on wednesday released the findings of the National ICT Survey Julisha. Results can be found here. http://www.ict.go.ke/index.php/julisha/402-mae-national-research-study-dubb…. The research commissioned by the Kenya ICT Board's monitoring and evaluation team, was a combination of field work and reviews secondary research to establish critical baselines with respect to the ICT Sectotr in Kenya. Indeed this announcement of the proposed study was made is this mailing list a few months ago. Of particular interest to the Kenya ICT Board is that we now have a market size figure of the ICT sector. Kenya's ICT sector, excluding telco revenues, in 2010 sits at USD 740m with 78% hardware, 9% software and 12% services. Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18%. We estimate it to get to USD 1bn by 2013. The results also tracked skills requirements and indicated that Kenya would need another 10,000 odd IT professional in the next 3 years to meet sector needs. 23% of IT professionals are in IT help desk. The greatest skill shortages are in software development and IT project management. We have received many comments, requests and pointers for clarification through phone calls, email, Twitter, Linked in and Facebook already. We welcome comments on the Julisha Survey before we re publish a final report. Most decision makers in ICT will find this a true digest of information.

Why Wikipedia beats them all...in my view!
by bernard kioko 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

If you read this comparison between Wikipedia, Yahoo and Google, you should understand why i think Wikipedia beats all these other sites. The text below is from the Wikipedia Site so it might be biased...but >From Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales Google might have close to a million servers. Yahoo has something like 13,000 staff. We have 679 servers and 95 staff. Wikipedia is the #5 site on the web and serves 450 million different people every month – with billions of page views. Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil.

What Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, And SAP Don't Tell Customers
by Peter Muchemi 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

What Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, And SAP Don't Tell Customers - *Microsoft mainly wants to protect Windows<http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/windows>and Office. *Microsoft is a platform company, and its main goal is to protect its highly lucrative Windows and Office monopolies, while establishing other platforms that will be hard for customers to break away from later. New functionality is "drip fed" to users of those core platforms, but new products exist to protect the core. He advised extreme caution before moving to Office 365, and said not to slip into an "all-Microsoft" mentality. - *Oracle products don't really work well together. *Oracle's sales force is extremely aggressive about pushing a suite of products, but has much fewer integration points than SAP. In fact, integration is usually left entirely up to the customer. Oracle is also very reluctant to talk about product roadmaps for fear that future products will cannibalize existing ones. The company makes more than 90% of its profits through maintenance fees, and will do whatever it takes to keep those fees flowing in. Gaughan also expressed some surprise that so many customers keep working with Oracle despite reporting that Oracle is "the most difficult vendor to deal with." - *IBM wants to take over your IT strategy. *IBM bills itself as a thought leader, but its real business is selling consulting services. To thrive, IBM account managers try to take control of a company's IT strategy so they can keep pushing new products. Gaughan recommends taking a collaborative or partner approach. - *SAP confuses customers with pricing. *A lot of SAP customers ask Gartner for help figuring out SAP's pricing and licensing, as SAP has unusual terms for billing data going into and out of systems. Gaughan also said that a big technology transition that was driving SAP revenue for the last few years -- moving existing customers from the old R/3 system to the newer Business Suite -- is almost done, which means SAP will have to be more aggressive with maintenance fees. He recommended locking in maintenance prices now.

How not to suck. Read, reasons why we do....
by Laban Mwangi 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Mauritius is an African country that's: - 0.34% of Kenya in area (less than a square that's 50kms x 50kms) - Has 2.5% the population and more than half the GDP of Kenya. - Has approx 1:1 Tourist:Citizen ratio compared to Kenya's 1:40 at best - Income tax is 15% compared to >30% in Kenya - Education, healthcare and welfare is free. (Really! If you are below a certain pay grade, you get benefits such as money to buy water tanks, some electricity units free etc) - Makes power from Bagasse that is cheaper and more reliable than KPLC & KENGEN and mind you they have a higher per capita power consumption because of air cons etc - Cooking gas goes for ~500KES for 13kg cylinder (They have no refinery. It's all imported). No one uses charcoal with the exception of Braai/choma. - Fuel costs approx the same as Kenya (No refinery... again) - Used to have aircon on for ~12 hours a day, fridge, used electric oven, etc for a bill of at most 3000 KES/month - Imports practically all their food (guess ~80%) from za, au, nz, in - It's cheaper to buy longlife milk from South America in Mauritius than KCC.) - An avocado goes for ~80KES, same price for a Passion passion. - Meat from in,nz and za goes for >600KES/KG for low grade all the way to 2,500KES/KG - Worker rights are enforced - Everyone has a job.. really, as a citizen, you can quit and a week later have a different job - Everyone get's a 13th month salary bonus. That's standard. 14th (and 15th in some cases) salary as a motivational bonus. Did I mention that ontop of this, some companies offer a free vacation per year for your family for a limit of say 5000USD? - Everyone's entitled to 24 working days leave per year and on top of that, you get 15 working days as sick days (fully paid) . You only need to produce a doctors note after missing 3 consecutive days. That comes to 39 paid working days as leave/year! - To get a job as an expatriate, the position must be advertised in the dailies, proof submitted to the government than no credible Mauritian applied, and the iff the expat's qualifications are good enough is one hired. See http://www.dig.co.ke/questions/19/requirements-to-work-as-an-expat-in-mauri… - To become a resident, you either need to 1) Marry a Mauritian and stay married for > 4 years. 2) Buy a house (starting at ~ 0.5 million USD for a 2 bedroom villa with no view all the way to ~ 3 million USD) under a special government scheme - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Resort_Scheme and samples http://www.labalisemarina.com/en/the-project/the-concept.aspx Industry: - Registration of a company is a breeze (www.investmauritius.com) - A lot of major clothing labels have factories in Mauritius. - Sugar production is phenomenal. 0.6 million tonnes vs Kenya's 25 Million tonnes (7 times more sugar if scaled to Kenya's size. ). Consider the land area given above.. It has to support the population, tourism, parks, water reservoirs.... Land is farmed all year round and is heavily mechanised. That's why we have a Mauritian company setting base - http://allafrica.com/stories/201109122023.html - Make do with a lot less flora and fauna for tourism - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_of_Mauritius - Tourism earnings for both countries are equal - http://www.africagoodnews.com/brand-africa/travel-and-tourism/2230-mauritiu… http://www.tourism.go.ke/ministry.nsf/pages/facts_figures - Internet just works even though they have a single cable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cable_map18.svg - Has an IT hub that's grown from 1 building ~ (15 floors) to > 50 such buildings in a span of 5 years (www.e-cybercity.mu) - Call center industry is huge... Really, it is. For example: - In France, a lot of people get some work hours free to learn something/week. Given that the language of business is English, it so happens that a lot of people in France want to learn English... and Mauritius leapt at this opportunity since they are both French and English speaking. So you have a couple of blokes who learn flash, get some English content into flash and offer a learn at your own pace program. At the end of each module, you get to call in and practice English over the phone. - Here are some numbers: according to http://www.swi-mu.com/bpo-services.html The Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry in Mauritius has been growing 70 percent a year and is now worth $1.6 billion, employing 100,000 people. And as McKinsey analysts put it, BPO has to grow only 27% till 2008 to deliver $17 billion in revenue and employment of a million people. - Tax haven. http://www.noulakaz.net/weblog/2009/04/02/is-mauritius-a-tax-haven/ . RVR's there too - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rift_Valley_Railways_Consortium#Disagreements - Financial sector is sensible: - You can get a loan for a wedding, loan for a car, loan for a trip to visit your cousins in France. - You can pay your supermarket purchases using a cheque book. - You can buy a phone on hire purchase (not from the network) What we have is a good educated population. Really! we do. The average Kenyan is more knowledgeable (by parsecs!). We just need better leaders and be accountable to ourselves. Stop paying that cop, stop corruption, make your leader accountable. That's it. That's all it takes. Have an accountable day!

Calling all Network Engineers, fans & enthusiasts
by John Gitau 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Good day, We have noticed with concern the lack of a group that addresses and brings together network engineers and enthusiasts. It is a rapidly changing environment that we strongly feel would benefit from more collaboration. To this end, we'd like to invite you at the IHUB on Saturday the 19th at 2pm for the first meet up. We plan to call the group 'East African Network Operators Group' (EANOG). The idea behind this is to ensure continued education and collaboration on the latest technologies affecting your career to help you make your network more secure, reliable and better performing. Our <weekly/monthly/quarterly> meetings will feature top-notch technical presentations on various topics and a chance to learn and share experiences with your peers and more. We would like as wide a participation as possible.

<OT> : CVT Auto Transmissions
by aki 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

One for the petrol heads who own vehicles fitted with CVT tranmissions. A word of advice, whatever you do, don't use the normal ATF fluid. I've got a Nissan ( my favourite car, after giving up on the pajero ) and I found a supplier who had the original NS-1 oil for the gearbox. The CVT transmission oil needs to be changed every 60,000Kms and there is a special process of doing it. FYI. -- The EL_Diablo is a metaphor...

Windows 7 Activation
by Brian Ngure 19 Nov '11

Hi all, Not being a Windows user, I have no clue about Windows activation. These are my questions. If a computer is bought with Windows 7 Home Premium: 1. If the Windows is reinstalled, how many times can it be re-activated? Is there a limit (either by phone, over the net, etc). 2. If the Windows is installed inside a VM (on the same computer which is now running Linux), can it still be activated? And if so, how many times (if you re-install)? 3. What hardware changes (if any) are allowed? -- Regards Brian Ngure

Musical chairs at Dealfish and Inmobi operations
by Mbugua Njihia 19 Nov '11

Musical chairs at Dealfish and Inmobi operations - http://bit.ly/uDlHpo The emails and calls from South Africa based head hunters have done their rounds and it is now confirmed that Dealfish will be getting a new regional lead as Moses Kemibaro {who is the current Country Manager} heads of to a new role at Inmobi. As mentioned the Dealfish role will be regional looking at holistic e and m commerce. Dealfish has grown to be the leading classifieds service locally and the challenge as Moses exists remains how they will monetize, a challenge the new chap will have to contend with. Word is there's something in the offing come December from the Dealfish stable.I have my hunch what that is and will share it in a later post - {Who will own the classifieds space in EastAfrica} More- - http://bit.ly/uDlHpo

Bombardier Aerospace to Establish Manufacturing Capability in Morocco
by Paul Kukubo 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Listers Sharing this story as a matter of intrest to those who enjoy the subject of international investment deals. Interesting to note especially if you take into account how many linkages the car and aerospace manufacturing facilities have. country MOUs with leading global players are one way to bring inward high value investment. They can take a long time to structure and negotiate, sometimes years, especially when there is a multi million dollar tag on it. Note that employment targets equals 850 highly skilled Moroccans. Asante. Press Releases Bombardier Aerospace to Establish Manufacturing Capability in Morocco November 16, 2011 — Montréal Aerospace Bombardier Aerospace announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco for the establishment of a manufacturing facility in Morocco. The exact site location will be announced at a later date. Bombardier Aerospace intends to invest approximately $200 million US in equipment, buildings and start-up costs over the next eight years. Scheduled to be implemented in phases starting in 2012, Bombardier Aerospace’s new Moroccan facility will initially include sub-assembly capabilities for simple structures. The new facility is scheduled to start manufacturing in 2013. Details on the type of components to be manufactured will be finalized in the coming months. By the end of 2020, employment at the Morocco facility is expected to reach 850 skilled and trained workers. Bombardier Aerospace anticipates that there will be no impact on its current workforce level at other sites as a result of this announcement. “Globalization of our industry has opened up new markets and new opportunities,” said Guy C. Hachey, President and Chief Operating Officer, Bombardier Aerospace. “We have progressively extended our business presence around the world and we are continuing today to better serve our international customers.” “Bombardier Aerospace is committed to a long-term relationship with the Moroccan Government to develop a world-class aerospace industry in the country,” added Mr. Hachey. “By establishing its own fully integrated manufacturing facility in Morocco, Bombardier Aerospace will serve as a catalyst for the aerospace industry in the country and will look for opportunities to share some of its knowledge and complex manufacturing processes.” Bombardier Aerospace chose Morocco for a number of reasons: internationally competitive manufacturing costs, low shipping and transportation costs, proximity to Europe, and the commitment by the Moroccan Government to the development of the aerospace industry. The announcement of this new manufacturing facility in Morocco was made during the Dubai Airshow 2011, where Bombardier is currently showcasing its broad spectrum of innovative products, technical expertise, and superior customer support and aircraft maintenance services. Held in the United Arab Emirates, the Dubai Airshow, the world’s third largest airshow, places an emphasis on the Middle-East, Africa, Europe and India. About Bombardier A world-leading manufacturer of innovative transportation solutions, from commercial aircraft and business jets to rail transportation equipment, systems and services, Bombardier Inc. is a global corporation headquartered in Canada. Its revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, were $17.7 billion, and its shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (BBD).

Fw: Help save the internet as we know it
by mwirigic＠gmail.com 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Sent from my BlackBerry® -----Original Message----- From: "Mark Surman, Mozilla.org" <joinmozilla(a)mozilla.org> Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:54:46 To: <mwirigic(a)gmail.com> Reply-to: joinmozilla(a)mozilla.org Subject: Help save the internet as we know it Hi there, The internet we know and love is at risk. As you read this, the US Congress is considering legislation called the Stop Online Piracy Act. But the fact is that the legislation as written won't stop piracy. It would, however, pose a serious threat to social media and user generated content sites (like YouTube) across the internet. It could also undermine some of the core technical systems underlying the internet, creating new cybersecurity risks. So Mozilla -- along with many other internet companies and public interest organizations -- is urging members of Congress to reject this bill as written and work together with us to come up with a solution that works. And I'd like to ask you to do the same. The US House's Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on the bill today -- If you live or vote in the US, please contact your representatives in Congress: http://www.mozilla.org/sopa Not in the US? Please forward this to a friend or two who is, and promote this campaign any way you can -- this affects us all. And after you contact your legislator, please make sure you're a part of Mozilla's efforts in this campaign going forward: https://donate.mozilla.org/SOPA-signup-em We see this as a fight for the future of the internet. Here are just a few of the potential consequences if this legislation passes: -- Whole sites -- from YouTube to Wordpress -- could be under threat for something as simple as a member posting a video of themselves singing a copyrighted pop song -- General-purpose social media sites like Twitter or Facebook could be forced to track and control user behavior, curbing innovation and undermining free expression -- Your internet provider could be required to monitor all of your browsing, and also to block your access to specific web addresses -- Overall, the web could become less stable and less secure That's why, as a non-profit committed to keeping the web open and accessible to all, Mozilla wants to ensure that this legislation does not jeopardize the foundational structure of the Internet. It's why we co-signed a letter opposing this legislation with Google, Twitter, Facebook, eBay, LinkedIn, Yahoo!, AOL and Zynga -- and it's why we're asking you to get involved today. The type of online activity that this legislation jeopardizes is absolutely fundamental to how we all use the web -- and to the work we at Mozilla are doing every day, from Firefox to Popcorn to Hackasaurus. So please email your representatives (http://www.mozilla.org/sopa) and then get involved in Mozilla's campaign against this legislation (https://donate.mozilla.org/SOPA-signup-em) We'll get in touch over the coming weeks with more ways to participate. Thanks so much for your help, Mark P.S. -- There's one passage which I think is most crucial from the letter we sent to Congress -- and ought to make it impossible for this bill to pass: "We are concerned that [this legislation will] pose a serious risk to our industry's continued track record of innovation and job creation, as well as our Nation's cybersecurity."

PesaPi - help me add new operator support
by Michael Pedersen 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Hi Everyone, As you may know PesaPi (the open source mobile payment API) has the ability to support multiple operators, however it currently only support "MPESA Paybill" and "MPESA private" accounts. I would like to expand the supported range of operators, but I only have Safaricom lines myself so I need a little help. What I need is for people using other operators both in and outside Kenya, to give me a copy of the SMS's they received as feedback when performing various mobile money transactions. The easiest way to do this is to have an android phone and do the following: 1. Install SMSSync - you can find it in the android market (its free) 2. In SMSSync configuration you enter: http://www.kaal.dk/collect.php 3. Start SMSSync (optional - you can chose to sync messages manually if you chose) With this configured sms messages coming to your phone will be relayed to my database - and I can then use them to add support for whatever system you have. Do note that you should probably take care to view the other configuration options - i.e. try and limit it so that it only relays your mobile money messages, and not all your private SMS's But what is described above can be considered a minimum required configuration. For more information about PesaPi see: https://github.com/pluspeople/PesaPi http://groups.google.com/group/pesapi http://www.youtube.com/gifair .. Mike

Apple under scrutiny?
by aki 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

One for the road..... "The article says that Psystar, owned by Rudy Pedraza, will sue Apple under two federal laws designed to discourage monopolies and cartels, the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act, saying Apple's tying of the Mac OS to Apple-labeled hardware is "an anticompetitive restrain of trade," according to attorney Colby Springer of antitrust specialists Carr & Ferrell. Psystar is requesting that the court find Apple's EULA void, and is asking for unspecified damages. In July Apple filed suit against Psystar, the company that for months had been selling the Open Computer, a Mac clone. Apple is suing the company for violating its intellectual property rights." http://www.macnews.com/content/psystar-countersue-apple-anticompetitive-pra… -- **Sent from my Microsoft/Intel based computer.

SIP Trunks
by Michael Pedersen 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi everyone, I am looking for suppliers of SIP trunks in Kenya, hoping someone here can give me an overview of whats available. I expect to mainly be calling Safaricom mobile lines, so the best thing (cheapest) would probably be if Safcom provided SIP trunks... but not sure if they do ? If not then who else supplies SIP lines. Kind regards Michael Pedersen

Google Music to Launch today
by Kevin Omondi 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Skunks, As you are aware, Google is launching its Google Music service today. Its has been running on a closed beta and is supposed to work only for the US but for some strange reason since I got invited I have been able to use it in Kenya. I have 8 invites remaining and if interested, private message me. I will share on a first come first served basis. See Press release below In the final hours before launching its music store<http://www.intomobile.com/2011/11/14/tmobile-should-part-google-music-event/>, Google has reportedly signed licensing agreements with three major record labels. A report from the Wall Street Journal<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204190504577040543401572780.h…> claims Google will have deals in place with Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and EMI when it kicks off the service at a Wednesday event in Los Angeles. Google also has the support of several unnamed independent labels. The music service will allegedly sell songs for $1 each and will let people share one to two free listens per song on Google +. The new online music store will likely plug into Google’s Music Beta and let customers store purchased music in Google’s cloud. Music Beta is a digital locker for people to upload, store and stream their music libraries. It launched earlier this year without record label support which has limited its expansion. With Google now offering licensed content for its Android handsets, the battle for your music dollars is heating up. Apple<http://www.intomobile.com/2011/11/16/google-secures-lastminute-licensing-de…> and its iTunes App Store is the big winner thus far, but Amazon’s Cloud Player service and now Google’s Music service will add some much needed competition into the mix.

Is Apple Hardware and OS the most proprietary systems ?
by aki 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

I often admire Open Source and Free Software foundations technologists, gurus and volunteers who end up with very expensive Apple products, which in my view are the subject line. Besides Hackintosh, is there any other way to install a full functional MAC OS on any 3rd party laptop/pc? If so, where does one buy the OS CD? Suppose I want to covert my netbook into a MAC mini, can you offer any advice? This one for the hardcore Apple users and engineers. Shower us with the bits and bytes on MAC OS, iPhone application, iTunes restrictions outside US and Europe. -- The EL_Diablo is a metaphor...

[Apologies for cross-posting] - resending Hi All, CCK is organizing a workshop on CIRT establishment to be held in Nairobi from 21-22 November 2011. The workshop will focus on actualizing the establishment of CIRTs and will therefore aim at providing tangible guidance/strategies that will assist in the setup and operationalization of national CIRTs. Topics range from an overview of cybersecurity frameworks, the role/services of CIRTs, regional collaboration, capacity building/awareness, PKI and new/emerging technologies (cloud computing, IPv6, etc). We've invited both international, regional and local speakers, with a number of speakers from the local infosec community. Please send your *name* and *email address* to cirt(a)cck.go.ke if you'd like to participate. Had sent this message last Thursday but somehow it didn't go through. We have 10 slots remaining though. Regards, Vincent Ngundi Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK)

THE VALUE OF USING ONLY GENUINE MICROSOFT SOFTWARE
by Alvin Jason Ochieng 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

FYI ... Dear Valued Partner, Am pleased to share that Kenya Copyright Board, together with Microsoft, yesterday launched a 30-day Amnesty Campaign to help fight Software Piracy in Kenya. Please use this opportunity to educate customers & share this information… --- The reasons for purchasing genuine software as opposed to pirated, counterfeit, illegal or unlicensed versions go well beyond principles of morality and integrity. Purchasing genuine software and from reputable sources actually makes smart business sense. 7 Business Benefits of Using Only Genuine Microsoft software The risk of damage to your machine leading to loss of data and information Counterfeit software is usually accompanied by viruses that could damage your hard drive and destroy vital data and information. These data and information are most times irrecoverable due to the effect of these malware attacks on your systems Access to Support Services from Microsoft When you purchase genuine software, you have access to technical support services from Microsoft or its Partners. These services are only available to users of genuine software. You get access to updates and upgrades. Technology is dynamic and as a result, upgrades and newer versions of this software are released regularly. These are also accessible and available to users of genuine software. On the contrary, for pirated versions, there are neither upgrades nor access to new versions which reduces long term value. Pirated Software exposes you to legal action and possible jail terms The use of pirated software by many is perceived as minor level mischief but this is incorrect. In Kenya, executives of companies whose employees are found to use pirated or illegal software are liable to be fined or even jailed. Recently, a reseller was convicted and sentenced to 6 months in jail for dealing in pirated and unlicensed software. Think about the impression it gives about your business. Using unlicensed software can affect your company’s reputation negatively. Think about the impression you create when you pass along shoddy spreadsheets to your clients, customers will ultimately not repeat patronage. Offenders hurt the economy of Kenya. Recent studies by IDC/BSA estimated East & Southern Africa’s loss in revenue at over 100 Million Dollars in 2010 (Kenya’s Piracy rate is currently at 79%). A modest reduction will create more thousands of jobs, boost economic growth and generate millions of dollars in taxes for Government. Your refusal to use pirated software is your contribution to this course. With genuine software, you are guaranteed peace of mind. It may surprise some, but using genuine software on more computers than a business is licensed to support is also illegal. Developing a relationship with a reliable partner or vendor can help in understanding licensing, product certification and other elements of genuine software. You don’t only spare yourself of needless headaches down the line; you'll also enjoy the security of doing the right thing, both for yourself and your business.

Internet Failover Help Needed
by Simon Mbuthia 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hey people, I have a problem. The problem is an internet connection that is on fibre as well as wireless. Now, I have one public IP address on a Cisco ASA 5500 series device. I may plug in either the cable running to the fibre switch or the cable running to the radio on the rooftop without changing the public IP address/gateway combination. But I dont want to do it manually. So my question is... (obviously), can I plug in both cables into my ASA device and have it automagically detect when the fibre link goes down (thanks to KDN) and route traffic through the wireless link. The ASA device has 4 ethernet ports, so I can use two for the outside interface and one for the inside interface then configure (if possible, of course) automatic failover for the two outside links such that the public IP address is assigned to whatever outside interface is active at any given time. Thanks in advance. Me

Verification of National IDs
by Thomas Kibui 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hello, When doing land transactions one is obliged to do a land search and the land registrar who has jurisdiction in the area when the parcel of land in question is locates confirms the land particulars, whether it has a title, when the title was issued, the current owner and if there are any legal cautions, caveats or charges against the title. This tries to prevents one from buying land on a fake title ... Is there a system to verify the National ID in order to ascertain that the details (ID Number, ID Serial number, Name, DoB, District + other details) of the ID owner or the person who we see on the ID is indeed who they claim to be ?

Facebook Friend Suggestion Algorithm
by Tech List Kenya 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hey guys, I'm beginning to think these guys at facebook use more than 'normal' means to create friend suggestion list. Two weeks after I spent quality time with a 'friend', her name pops up on my friend suggestion list. There is no logical way we are fb-related. We have no mutual friends, different neighbourhoods, didnt go to same school, hell, we are even from different tribes. And she uses Nokia, I use idiot. How did FB connect the dots? Unless they monitor my phone numbers :( I wish this was a fake story but it so isnt.

The report is based on mobile traffic during June to September in eight of the country's major districts. The report concluded that Airtel had the highest average number of blocked calls at 15.2 percent. They were followed by Uganda Telecom (11.4%), MTN (11.1%), Warid Telecom (8.75%) and Orange (3.75%). The minimum standard should be 2 percent for network congestion (blocked calls) or calls being dropped after connection. MTN is reported to drop 4.5 percent of calls, followed by Warid Telecom (4.2%), then Uganda Telecom (3.35%), Airtel (3.17%) and Orange is the best performer, with 2.8% of calls dropped. -- [Asentric Consulting Ltd] "The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war." - Navy SEAL INSTRUCTOR

Know your rights : Creation of the first? sensible online portal for kenyans...
by aki 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Am surprised that we don't (?) have such a site, i.e.where the constitution is on such rights. It may be fine that the gazette is online, but we need a more specific and filtered approach. The problem maybe that such an online system does not exist due to the possibly the business nature of our activists looking for ways to secure employment with donor funds...... - For example did you know that the current security checks at shopping malls or public areas, though intended for the right reasons, is not being carried out in the correct manner. Those of us who have travelled know this. The security person who has to wave the detection device must first ask your permission to do so. In no manner whatsoever can the security person ( a civilian, not an agent of the law ) make any physcial contact with any member of the public without consent from the person, and if they do without it, this constitutes a crime. What I see happening is shocking, and an abuse of rights. Kenyan security firms ( civilains ) are in severe breach of public rights, in my view. Even the police at JKIA will not perform a body contact search but will request you to return to the metal detector device. They can only peform a body search with your consent.

fake licenses to land u in jail
by Theus Owuor 12 Nov '11

Kenyan Windows pirators have 29 days to legitimize their windows software or phase 800,000 kshs fines and /or jail time. i think this is a great opportunity for open source vendors to spread the gospel of free operating systems. Kshs 800,000 even drug dealers don't get such fines :(

Kaboo Tablet Vs. iPad
by Timothy Mutugi 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

iSkunks, Back in the day, when I was still young, I contacted some chinese guys on alibaba.com and enquired about building a PC branded with my Name...Mutugi PC, MutugiSoft, Mutugi Computers, etc. etc. They told me that that was possible, I believe they called it OEM, i.e. you can basically put any brand name on the barebone PC and sell it as if you have invented it. Anyway, I decided to put that project on hold after the refurbished PCs started flooding the market. Almost 2 years ago, I had a similar idea, I wanted to create an iMutugi tablet PC and so I went to alibaba.com once again and I identified several tablet manufacturers doing the OEM thing and we embarked on negotiations, however, I lost interest along the way and I was also bogged down by other nation building duties. Now, recently I heard about the Kaboo Tablet and one thing that I noticed was that it is being marketed as: "developed by our very own Computer Engineers in partnership with American and Chinese Engineers"... or ..."they have developed a Tablet that rivals the iPad yet at a most affordable price." My dear iSkunks, is this thing really a rival to the iPad? Is there anyone on the list who has used it? Is it just another alibaba.com OEM gadget being marketed as "Locally developed"? iRegards, iTimo.

I've already seen a couple online that I can use on my asp.net platform but am looking for inputs from those who may have already used or developed RTE modules in their developments successfully. Care to share thoughts on shortfalls and security holes exposed? What would be the most outstanding RTE and why? ps: I'm not looking for a freesoftware or code just because venture capitalists fund such to ensure their own existance while the ignorant will happily download it and claim to be users and marketeers of such. :-) Adding a rant to this thread: Some of you know the online site I sometimes maintain. I've added an image to the main page, which as a hobbyist photographer, was very impressive when I found it online. The image carries all the lines, tones, textures and depth of what I was looking for. Unfortunatley the ornaments are not East African. The sad part is that while we have such talent locally, both in images and looks, none has made it online. Time for skunks photographers to put up an online modelling agency? I'm even more surprised that well established web graphics and developers have not demanded such a system over the years, which probably means they have a free CD with all the images packs. Shame on the shortcuts! ( Back on skunks for a few days, then over and out for a few months ) Rgds. -- The EL_Diablo is a metaphor...

Something about wireless
by Simon Mbuthia 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hey geeks, I have a question. There is something that I do not understand about how wireless technology works. I have an iPad and a laptop with me. I have setup an ad hoc wireless network/hotspot so that I can access the web using the iPad. The wireless adapter's IP address is 192.168.0.1, while the one for the iPad is 169.254.x.x What I seek to understand is how these two devices are able to communicate while being in different subnets - that is, how is the routing between 192.168.0.0/24 and 169.254.0.0/16 done? Curious me.

Programmer utopia?
by Peter Karunyu 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

I am one frustrated developer (yes yes I know I am not supposed to call myself a developer but WTH!). Why is it so difficult for these large formal companies to appreciate the facts that: 1. Give your programmers a nice office preferably with views of the sky or traffic 2. Allow them to dress down most of the time 3. Allow them to work flexible hours, i.e. focus more on the products they produce than the time they spend seated at their desks 4. Give them the tools, hardware and software, that they crave 5. Give them an immediate boss who knows his/her stuff 6. Pay them just well enough to enable them NOT worry about the cost of living but not so well that they start thinking of buying a BMW X3 Then, challenging the living daylights out of them will almost inevitably lead to unique and innovative products that will earn the company lots of money/customers/street cred etc Or am I living in some sort of code induced coma? I would love to know how the developers at AT, Craft Silicon, Virtual City work... :-)

Bandwidth queries.
by Watchman 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Anyone from Access KE on list? got a question. I've been doing some research after my conversation with someone on Access KE support staff on phone regarding bandwidth. I found that there was a flaw with something i was told. I was informed that Wimax bandwidth cannot exceed 1.5Mb/s and as such i cannot receive more data on my connection, that would be why i am unable to get a better data speed even though access kenya are already on the fiber connection and are handling Fiber as resellers. To clarify this, i found : *WiMAX* (*Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access*) is a communication technology for wirelessly delivering high-speed Internet service to large geographical areas. The 2005 WiMAX revision providedbit rates <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate> up to 40 Mbit/s[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX#cite_note-0> [2] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX#cite_note-1> with the 2011 update up to 1 Gbit/s for fixed stations.[3]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX#cite_note-UQ-WiMAX2-test-2> It is a part of a “fourth generation,” or 4G<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G>, of wireless-communication technology Please assist me in understanding why even though they have probably got 1 - 2 GB/s Data lying in their pipes, there is limited capacity being dished out. By my calculations, 1GB/s = 1000MB/s at which i'm considering, they're dishing out 1Mb/s per residential, if they have 10,000 residential clients, that makes 1000Mb/s = 100MB/s. 900MB/s = *WHAT THE HELL?* This is why *W.Isp *is under construction. -- get to know more about me. *http://about.me/rahiminkara * this list is being *watched.*

Wazi Wifi
by Paul Kevin 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hi, So another issue I have come to see with Wazi Wifi. First I must say they have excellent services and the log on page looks better with the terms and conditions at the top. My only and most singular issue is the new feature they have added : You cannot use the log on on another comp. Let me explain. I bought a bundle this morning on my laptop, now I am in the office and using office internet. Somebody at home wants to use my wazi wifi log in credentials to access the internet but they cant. Apparently, each account is limited to one device....you cannot use it on any other device. So if I have my tablet, I need to get it its own wazi wifi. Same to my phone, computer and laptop. Thats 4 wazi wifi accounts, monthly thats 2K just to access net from devices that I may not even be using. I wont call it a smart move, but the way it was before was way better, efficient and logical. Say my laptop gets spoilt or stolen, does this mean no internet for me and my money gone? Never limit a service to one device especially if it involves communication. If all phones acted this way, we would be having 10 phones by now. So please, Riyaz and the Wazi Wifi team, give the customer what they want or we will look for other alternatives

Zuku's Cisco Router sucks or is it just mine ??
by TheBigBoss 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

I am now with Zuku Internet (Turbo 4). I have an issue with the Cisco Router they gave me. Signal is very weak as I can't pass 30 feet (wall or no wall); as soon as I exceed 30 ft, I get a 0 RSSI !! Q1/ Is it just me or is Cisco Router given by Zuku "taka taka" With Access Kenya's Alavrion router, I was getting a strong signal both upstair and downstair (I stay in a duplex appartment)...But Zuku's technician told me he can do nothing with the Alvarion because it is not compatible with Zuku's router ? Q2/ Is it true that Alvarion's router can not be set up as an access point or repeater of Cisco router ? Q3/ Then, what would be my option to get full coverage upstair and downstair. Looking for a cheap option. Technician told me I need to buy another Linksys Wireless-G router ? Thanks -- TheBigBoss Nairobi, Kenya Email: TheBigBoss(a)peperuka.com ________________________________
