Seeking Drama-free Supplier of Refurbished ex-UK comps
by Timothy Mutugi 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Greetings Skunksville residents, Apparently, my current supplier of ex-UK computers (i.e. Intex @ World Business Centre) has gone underground due to some unpaid loans and so the place is locked for "refurbishment". I had some deposit with the lady there and so if anyone knows there whereabouts please share with me...their numbers are mteja and there are some suspicious jamaas hanging around the premises... In the meantime I urgently need to buy some more Ex-UK comps and the specs are as follows: 256 / 1.8 / 20gb / 15" black CRT / Compaq/ keyboard / Mouse / CD-rom Assist urgently. I need 5 pieces for now. Timo

Safaricom PostPaid Bundles
by Philip Musyoki 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Anyone see the advert about the new Safaricom post-paid bundles? Seems the mobile landscape is going to change with these which seem designed to lock mobile users to the Safaricom networks at per minutes on-net calls of less than KES 1. Innovative though, I would say.

Bubble Busted
by Felakut Theo 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Skunkers, Looking at what is happening in our industry, my thoughts are, *The Bubble has Busted* in the sector. Key players in the market, KDN, Safcom, Access Kenya, SGK, WOL, Africa Online, Airtel, YU, TKL, are all crying foul and embarking on either retrenchments, mergers, or restructuring to remain relevant in the market. Questions. Is it a bubble burst? If bubble burst, is this not a premature burst as Kenya is still way far behind in as far as ICT penetration is concerned? Could it be that we are employing foreign policies that are not relevant in this market? Or were we so short sited to predict what the market would be in a few days to come? Anybody with idea on what’s happening and how we should react to it is welcome. The 2Cents

[Event] Fairtrade Software Talk @ iHub Nairobi
by Phares Kariuki 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Fair Trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach which aims to promote sustainability and help producers in developing countries; it focuses on exports from developing countries to OECD countries. To date products covered by Fair Trade principles have been consumables such as food, drink or clothing. Fair Trade Software is a new initiative getting under way in the Netherlands and the UK. Modern software is highly modular, and the production process allows for components to be written in developing countries whilst the overall end-product is designed, assembled and delivered in the OECD country. This new way of working has been enabled by two developments: -> Open Source technologies and the Open Source philosophy of Internet teams (“communities”) -> increasing availability of necessary telecommunications links to and within developing countries. This is not charity or low cost outsourcing – it is for-profit and can be regarded as leveraged aid. The structural results will be sustained economic partnership with, and technology transfer to, entities and individuals in developing countries. As with the use of Open Source software, the Fair Trade Software model can become part of corporate social responsibility - a trade system based on justice & fairness will be better for all. The talk will describe current status and plans and is planned to take place at the iHub <http://ihub.co.ke/> on Tuesday the 22nd at 5.30 to 7pm and this session will engage Developers only. The next session will be the next morning of Wednesday the 23rd from 9am to 12pm and this session will engage Entrepreneurs in general. Debate will be encouraged. *Kindly make sure you RSVP here <http://fairtradetalk.eventbrite.com/> to make sure you can attend. There are two tickets for these sessions and if you choose developer / Entrepreneur, this means you will attend the separate days and times as mentioned earlier. You can also reserve to attend both.* -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki(a)gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares | B: http://www.kaboro.com/ |

Portability: Company in problems
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Just come across this article on the Nairobi Star. Hmm there's trouble even before portability takes root in 2 weeks time. I am a firm believer in conspiracy theories ... me sees the hand of a certain market leader in this ;-) Wonder which company is suing Nokia or NSN? Pure speculation Kiania D. ..... Nokia is suing the Kenyan company that is going to manage the clearing house for Mobile Number Portability next month over unpaid bills. The company, Porting Access Kenya, is being sued by four different organisations and people over the unpaid bills which amount to nearly US$4 million. According to court documents seen by the Nairobi Star, Nokia is the lead plaintif and is suing for Sh290 million (US$3.7 million), while Daima Bank wants Sh12 million, businessman Sanjeet Thethy Sh54 million which includes interest and lawyer Njeri Onyango Sh3.5 million. Responding to the Nokia lawsuit, "the defendant categorically denies that the said supplied goods were valued or amounted to US$ 3.7 million," states Musimba in an affidavit to the court. Porting Access won the tender to manage the MNP clearing house out of seven firms that tendered and will charge a fee of Sh200 per number ported. Launching MNP in Kenya has had a troubled history. The plans, originally announced in 2004 were put on hold in 2007 after the regulator cited the high costs of implementing the system. They were then resurrected in late 2008 for launch between March and September 2009. Due to be offered by July, the deadline was pushed back to the end of 2010, and now to April 2011. The Mobile World subscriber database reports that Safaricom is the market leader with a market share of 82% with Zain coming in at 11.3%. Newer entrants, Econet had 2.3% of the market while Orange (Telecom Kenya) had 4.1% of the market. -- [Asentric Consulting Ltd] "You don't build a business, you build people who build your business for you" - Brad Sugars

Re: [Skunkworks] I am moving to Airtel...what about you?
by wesley kirinya 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

I'm inclined to agree with Safcom. They might loose some customers, mostly those without MPESA, but Safcom is here to stay with the majority numbers. However, it will also be difficult for them to increase subscribers. IMO the future for higher profits is to get more revenue per subscriber. If Airtel, Orange... got an equal number of subsribers with Safcom, what next?. Now there is a complex situation that exists today that didn't exist before. Mpesa and other SIM applications could get away with difficult UI experience back in the days, which they can't today because of the great UI experience on applications that can be downloaded on the phones. Back in the days a VAS is what was on the SIM, today, it's not. That means telecos have lost their grip on the VAS that can be put on the phone. IMO no teleco should be comfortable with the idea of having a unique VAS on their network. So telecos have to attract content developers, who now hold the V in VAS. The only true way is to give the content developers decent revenue share on decent terms. Now my conclusion is something I said many months ago after being frustrated by the low revenue share that telecos offer and the hoops that come with it... The winning teleco is the one that will offer decent revenue share to content developers. Nothing more, nothing less. If Orange and Airtel (Zain, ...) want to cut down Safcom (assuming Safcom would, unlikely, be sleeping), give content developers at least 70%, and allow your subsribers to pay via airtime. That 70% is what the developer takes to the office, no strange hidden agendas! To put icing on the cake, allow an API to your systems so that content developers can integrate the payment in their applications. To be fair to the telecos, it's said that under the law, a content developer has to go through a Content Provider (or PRSP, smthing like that). Well, it's about time such laws were removed, unless there is clear benefit for having them. 8~( --- On Fri, 3/18/11, skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke <skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke> wrote: From: skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke <skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke> Subject: Skunkworks Digest, Vol 13, Issue 249 To: skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke Date: Friday, March 18, 2011, 8:22 AM Send Skunkworks mailing list submissions to skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke You can reach the person managing the list at skunkworks-owner(a)lists.my.co.ke When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Skunkworks digest..."

Data Protection - service providers
by Patrick Kariuki 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

When looking for a VPS Company (VM services, for say a month) or a Cloud company (VM services, for say an hour or on capacity-on-demand basis), located out of Kenya - do we take into consideration that we are subject to the laws governing data protection in the host country(country where servers are located)? Should this be weighed on the pros or cons for local developers? Is one local service provider taking this seriously - http://www.kdn.co.ke/content/private_policy.html or did the mouse just sleep on the banana?

Double SNMP comm Strings Possible??
by kihu kibe 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi, Would anyone know if the following is possible; I have one SNMP Reciever = "Server" group A = set of servers (linux) - comm string public YYY group B = second set of servers. (linux) - comm string private XXX Is it possible that the "Server" contain both public and private comm strings under conf file, such that it receives traps from both sets of servers. *FILTER* 1. Yes , public is unsafe, No not using snmp v3 , Yes preference is config file to be changed on the Server to accommodate the group B (private XXX) set of servers but without affecting the group A (public) set of servers - Assume latter already configured. Thanks. :-) regds

Banking Terms and Conditions
by Paul Kevin 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Do banks really have terms and conditions or do they make most of their "policies" up? So I went to one of the local banks, wont mention its name but its National Bank of Kenya. So my ATM expired last month and I happily went today morning to collect my ATM. Apparently I had to apply for a new ATM......yeah....what??? Say I have 80K and Im stranded somewhere with my National expired Bank ATM card.......so, they want to say, "We care enough not to give you atm card when you need it, but we want you to give us your money". Banks do come up with these "terms" and go out there sponsoring parks and seats (Co-op Bank Kenya), but they do not really make a person proud of being in that Bank. So Ive come to the conclusion, Go I&M and NIC FULLSTOP

One of the fastest ways of getting music on the internet is by performing some simple google queries. All you need is 1. Go to google <http://www.google.com/> 2. Get a target file sharing site (preferably mediafire) 3. Know the song(you can filter further by adding the artist name) 4. Get your preferred extension 5. Enter something like this of the search input box "mediafire:tupac changes#mp3#" (ignore the quotes) You should get direct download links to your music (straight from google) Disclaimer; The information given here is meant for tutorial purposes only.

Fair Use Policy implementation

If 30 people are connected, I'd like each of them to get 1024/30 both ways. If 8 people are connected, let each one get 1024/8. If one person is connected, let the person get 1024/1 :-) Following the K.I.S.S principle, does anyone know of a simple router (Not Cisco grade) that implements this? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

Hi pple.. >From the following article http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate+News/Change+of+guard+looms+at+… I see this as a case of some powerful hand in the industry pocketing the board so that they can pull the carpet under Njoroge's feet. I stand to be corrected but i think he's one man who believes in a level play field and fair business practices but since the multi-nationals have their minds on exploiting developing countries, then they will ensure that anyone who stand on their way doesn't live to see the light of day.

Nokia Ideastorm - because research and market knowledge is the Achilles heels for many mobile developers - http://bit.ly/gJUCcI
by Mbugua Njihia 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

We all know that talent is not everything in a cut throat capitalistic market. Market knowledge is the key to converting talent to scrilla, kaching ching, moola, rent, gas money you name it. So for the mobile developer seeking to scratch the consumer itch and have that translate to revenue, I introduce the Nokia Idea Storm challenge. Developers have everything to gain from this initiative as Nokia are asking consumers in Kenya and Uganda what they want .and giving developers free access to this information, enabling them to customize their apps to local needs.

Safaricom Innovation Board finally constituted http://bit.ly/dTUjy6
by Mbugua Njihia 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Yesterday was a day of many wins for local developers who have been keen on getting a foot into the mobile operator ecosystem, to monetize their innovations or services. So what is it that happened?Safaricom has kinda pulled a fast one on the competition yet again by partnering with Strathmore University and Vodafone to setup the Safaricom Academy that will offer an Internationally recognized Master of Science in Telecommunication Innovation and Development (MSc. TID) Degree. This positions Safaricom very well to tap into the growing talent and idea pool from an increasingly innovative tech sector.The academy will provide students with a link to the iLabAfrica from where they can get assistance with access to seed capital, mentorship programs, physical space and a variety of tools necessary for the development, testing and deployment of mobile services.But for the thousands of other creative's and developers who may not take the program, it is exciting to know that the Safaricom Innovation Board has now been constituted.

by sheeroh＠gmail.com 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Hi skunks, I'm trying to set up Exchange mail on my colleague's Ideos phone. After putting in the email and password, the next page has a form for filling in the server name, the username and setting the SSL certificates On this page, there is a 'Next' button but no matter what mechanisms I use to press it, nothing happens. It doesn't look inactive so what could the problem be? Is it that the Ideos does not support Microsoft Exchange? Your comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

Is there anyone here using Safaricom WiMAX (or Fiber)? I'd like to know if you've ever managed to call 0722 002222 (Safaricom Business Support) and managed to find a techie to help you?

Les participants qui auront suivi le cours avec succès recevront un diplôme de conclusion du programme.

14 Mar '11

We’ll be running the First "Nairobi Python User Group" meetup today the 14th of March at the iHub (http://www.ihub.co.ke/pages/about.php ) . We will start at 18:00 for coffee and talks. Hopefully this will become a monthly event. This is the mailing list of the group -- <http://groups.google.com/group/naipug> During this meetup there will be a presentation of "Bungeni - an Open Source parliamentary and legislative information system" which has been developed on Python (See http://www.bungeni.org , http://bungeni-portal.googlecode.com ), and incidentally the core development team lives in Nairobi :-) Bungeni aims to increase the efficiency of parliamentary activities and make Parliaments more open and accessible to citizens. After the presentation there will be a question /answer session . All Python interested folks are welcome . If you have any interested friends or colleagues, try to bring them along too.

Email Hacking techinque
by Daudi Were 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Good morning Skunks, I am reading an article in The Guardian where a cracker admits hacking an email address http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/mar/13/phone-hacking-panorama-names-jo… The hacker shares his technique *The hacker – whose name cannot be revealed for separate legal reasons – confessed his role and added: "It weren't that hard. I sent you an email that you opened, and that's it ... I sent it from a bogus address ... Now it's gone. It shouldn't even remain on the hard drive ... I think I programmed it to stay on for three months."* I'm wondering would you have to open the email AND install the rogue programme or is simply opening and reading an email that has the rogue programme attached to it be enough? As in you send me an email to my gmail account, I open the email, do not install anything but you get access to the account? Possible? Thanks D -- Ni Wakati! Pamoja!

The mobile marketing industry in Kenya is set to see significant growth - http://bit.ly/dRgPiy
by Mbugua Njihia 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

The mobile marketing industry in Kenya is set to see significant growth - http://bit.ly/dRgPiy The mobile marketing industry in Kenya is set to see significant growth with the launch of the East African chapter of the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA). Since the local mobile phone industry took off a decade ago, there has been a both a knowledge and policy gap to give direction on what consumer engagement should be in matters related to mobile. The knowledge gap has seen many marketing managers and business owners shy away from implementing mobile strategies for their businesses, which in this day and age should be one of the central pillars to any marketing strategy. Often times, the mobile network operators get the call enquiring on how to go about running a promotion or what it would take to market on operator inventory. The operators, while being key players in the ecosystem don't have this as their core business and as such would not be in a position to fully address and direct the queries.

looking for freelance technical writers
by Willem 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Hello Skunkers, I am looking for 1 or 2 persons who can write articles about web speed optimization (WPO), in relation with specific technologies such as MySQL, Wordpress, jQuery and others. Yes, it's very broad :) For the trial you will need a couple of days. Upon satisfaction of both parties, we can discuss the terms for prolongation (possibly several months). I don't necessarily require full time dedication so it could be a nice side job for you! Initial task: Write an article (700 words) about one of the subjects below. Target audience are administrators, IT managers with modest skill level. The article should contain the most relevant suggestions for generic speed improvement. You don't need to invent new content, but you should find and assess existing knowledge and summarize that (with proper references where due). The article should be a coherent story that gives an overview of best optimization practices (speed wise) for the given technology. I will send you a sample article so you can derive the writing style and structure from that. Requirements: * Smart guy/girl with humor * Not a hardcore coder but at least familiar with some of the technical subjects * Able to assess the quality of existing information (mostly on blogs, forums) * Able to write flawless and pleasant English * Able to work independently * Availability in the coming weeks How to apply: Send me a mail with a) sample of your previous written technical work b) your rate (per article or per day). c) what subjects you'd like to write about & why d) when you'll be able to start I will reply within 2 days. The company that will hire you, is byte.nl, a Dutch hosting provider. Upon completion, I will send you the enumeration by wire, paypal or any method of your preference. Looking forward to hear from some bright people! Regards, Willem de Groot (CTO Byte) Sample topics: Front-end HTML5 / WebM Flash Video Images CSS Silverlight Javascript ActiveX Frameworks Magento Wordpress Joomla Drupal CakePHP Ruby on Rails Expression Engine Zope Django Languages PHP Java Python C# ASP Perl Databases Mysql Postgresql Application/Webservers Apache IIS / .NET Nginx Lighttpd Tomcat JBoss Jetty Glassfish Geronimo Memcached Opcode cachers Hosting providers Amazon EC2 Rackspace Tools Measure Analyze Optimize System tuning Linux Windows FreeBSD Appliances Storage Hardware Network & CDN Proxies CDN Loadbalancing

Re: [Skunkworks] IDEOS really taking it to the masses
by Willem de Groot 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

After visiting iHub last week, I bought one as well to take back to Holland. The safcom agent was muttering about the phone locked to the safcom network but this proved to be false. Actually I am very happy with it, it even replaced my HTC desire. It's smaller and the battery lasts slightly longer. And my colleagues are jealous :) In the uk it sells for 200 £ ... One missed opportunity is that commodity apps aren't installed on the homescreen by default. My non-tech friend was struggling with finding SMS mail and the camera. She almost brought the phone back to the shop to get a Nokia. sent from my Huawei Ideos On 9 Mar 2011 05:20, "Phares Kariuki" <pkariuki(a)gmail.com> wrote: > What everyone seems to be forgetting is the cost!

I agree with the writer (Kachwanya) especially in terms of access to blogs and such increasing productivity because blogs sometimes contain valuable info especially on troubleshooting tech-related issues. The Facebook debate is one I will not get into (where I work it's blocked, obviously) but I tend to disagree when some people claim that it increases productivity in the workplace. If I may digress, why do so many skunks end their emails with the words "my two cents, my .02 cents or shillings", etc? Do you really believe your opinion/contribution is worth two cents and if so, is it worth sharing at all? My 2 million.. :)
