Are some skunks more skunker than others?
by Timothy Mutugi 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hi, I am tired of starting threads on this list and not having them posted. The last threads I have posted are not even Off Topic but they are not posted. Are posts first put on an embargo, then evaluated and then approved for posting or what? And what criteria is used? I have seen the quality of some of the posts to be wanting, but they still manage to get through...whilst mine do not. Are some skunks more skunker than others? Timo.

Computer Science Curriculum Development
by Simon Mbuthia 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hello techies, I have been invited by my Alma Mater for a brainstorming session with a view to improve their Computer Science degree program. I thought it would be a good thing to first of all hear from employers and supervisors of Computer Science degree holders what they think most graduates lack that would be worth considering when coming up with a computer science degree program. Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Muchas gracias, Me.

Re: [Skunkworks] Computer Science Curriculum Development

I agree with almost everyone but that one for Peter...enyewe I am also a Computer Science graduate and I have no idea how to install Centos and that other software he talked about But I digress... Most of what we were taught or rather learnt in university has no real-life application, or rather, I can't relate how Compiler Theory and Discrete Math apply in an IT support job Maybe if I would have interacted with systems more or been encouraged to solve problems that don't involve definitions of terms and other such stuff, I'd have been more prepared to think on my feet and problem-solve As it is, it's taken me a year to fully grasp that solving problems involves troubleshooting and trial-and-error instead of being paralysed with fear that I'll crash the server if I enter one wrong command.

Shocking The housing market in Kenya
by Kevin Ouma 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Skunks, I read this article in the standard that had some interesting statistics on the housing market in Kenya. It got me thinking a lot in light of the perceived housing "BOOM" with real estate agents saying that houses are going like hotcakes yet as an IT professional with a modest income, am yet to come to terms with a decent mortgage package in a middle class estate that I can afford, and im not talking about Kilimani etc But Buru Buru south C etc Just to give article excerpts :- - Highlights of a report by Central Bank<http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/editorial/InsidePage.php?id=2000030176&cid=1…>and World Bank released last week that says only eight per cent of Kenyans — 320, 000 households — can afford a mortgage was shocking - The report commissioned by CBK that will be released fully in a month’s time, also indicates that for one to buy a house worth Sh2 million, for example, one must have a net salary of Sh100,000, and service the loan at Sh42,000 a month for a period of 15 years at an interest rate<http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/editorial/InsidePage.php?id=2000030176&cid=1…> of 14.5 per cent. - The shocking revelations also indicate that the total mortgage loan book in the country is only 16,000 accounts, while the total value of mortgage loans, as at the end of December last year was Sh133.6 billion. - It is also an indication that buying property in Kenya is predominantly for the rich, who opt for cash sales as opposed to mortgages. This alludes that much of the housing market is a cash market with money acquired through dubious means. Methinks there must be a bubble somewhere that does not correspond to the tenets of economics. You may read the entire article here http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/editorial/InsidePage.php?id=2000030176&cid=1… Regards Kevin Omondi

How to setup knec.ac.ke in 2012
by Peter Karunyu 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Good people, Instead of blaming the poor techie over at KNEC for the slow app, lets give him/her some practical tips... *High Performance Website/Webapplication 101 *1. Server - Get the fastest server you can with the budget you have, fastest processor, as many cores as you can get - Make sure the hard disk RPM is the highest you can get, let 7200 be the minimum - Get bucketloads of RAM, we talking about 8GB minimum here. - Separate the web server from the database server, let each be on its own superfast, kick ass server (see first three points above) - Connect the database server directly to the webserver via a factory made cross over cable; this will save you a few micro seconds per request - If possible, rent several extra servers; maybe three for Apache (yes, I know you use Apache with ServerSignature On<http://www.knec.ac.ke/indexr5.php>) and three for the database, then use appropriate load balancing apps to distribute load over the other servers - If more servers are not an option, then when the time for releasing results comes, give 98% of the staff at KNEC compulsory leave and take their PCs, then make all of them act like one big nasty swarm. - Optimize the CentOS for speed - ... 2. Webserver - Let Apache sit on its own server, maybe two servers, maybe three. If more than one, use a load balancer. - Deactivate modules you dont need, like support for perl, python and etc - Oh yeah, you might want to change ServerSignature to something less "revealing" to the casual browser - ... 3. Database - I am guessing you are using MySQL, if not, ignore this section. - IMHO, MySQL is happiest when swimming in an ocean of RAM on a superfast HDD. - Make sure to test the options in my.cnf coz the defaults may not always be the best. - Let EXPLAIN query_here be your close friend. Explain each and every query and make the necessary changes. There is a ka-column called "rows scanned" or sth like that, let this be as low as possible, 1 being the magical number - Explain will reveal unused indices or missing indices. The philosophy is use is that most columns used in WHERE clauses should have indices - Make sure you have enabled the slow query log, set it to something low like 5 seconds, then monitor it like a baby. Any query which shows up in the slow query log is your enemy and you need to fix it ASAP. - If you have the skill, setup replication across several servers and modify your application to take advantage of your replication. I am guessing since you dont have much writes to the database after the results have been released, setup one server as the Master, then several servers as the slaves and direct all your reads to the slaves. - Head over to quest software and download Spotlight on MySQL<http://www.quest.com/spotlight-on-mysql/>/SQL Server/Linux and use it to watch your database and the underlying OS. Not only does it make the data easy to ingest, but it also looks amazingly cool! - ... 4. PHP - Be frugal, dont create variables unless you really need to, it might save you a bit of RAM - Profile your code, remove dead sections. - Run PageSpeen against each page, and fix the issues it points out. - Test test test! - ... 5. Others - Now, as skunk Phares will tell you, you dont really need many servers, you can get like 2 behemoths and virtualize the hell out of them! - The skunk Odhiambo will tell you, FreeBSD has the fastest TCP/IP stack this side of the Universe, so you might want to run your Apache off that - Some other better placed skunks will also tell you how to make your network super fast - And most def some other skunk will tell you how to make your non-mysql database even faster. - .... 6. ....

Re: [Skunkworks] How to setup knec.ac.ke in 2012 - how about the applications
by m mugo 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

@ Okechukwu, we do not have the same discussion only when KCSE results are released but any time KNEC tries to put anything online or a government institution tries to put up a distributed system (e.g. KRA and tax returns) And it seems that most of us think about the systems part. How about the applications themselves, do the designers of such systems go through a honest-to-God systems analysis especially as far as DB queries are concerned. Well constructed queries can improve the performance of a system 10s of times. I'm certain that the KNEC systems are purely client-server query applications; Index NO, Province, district, etc, etc On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 12:50 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo(a)gmail.com>wrote: > > > On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 11:54, [Brainiac] <arebacollins(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> I think this is the meaningful dialogue some skunkers were asking for... >> We need like 43 replies for this... so here's mine: >> >> Yet some other skunker will agree that on demand services from soneone >> like amazon or rackspace cloud will give you something to fit the budget and >> give a boost at this time when kenyas peculiar results accessing habits are >> on the peak. >> >> >> > So you guys surmise that hosting the service outside Kenya is better?? > I still support the "all Kenyan, all the time" principle.

Help Ruby Nuby and Agile Activism set up our community based tech and entrepreneurial training in Nairobi where we will train the next generation developers and fund companies they and you may start. 6pm, WED, March 2nd
by Malcolm Arnold 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Please RSVP at this link, Location is IHUB: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1370620563 Please feel free to cross post to other lists and please invite leaders in: Education, Technology, Business, Philanthropy, NGO's and Community Activism. Ruby Nuby has won a grant from British Airways to see about bringing our program to Nairobi. Come learn about Ruby Nuby and how we plan to: - Create an environment that allows all to to succeed in a collaborative, cooperative manner. - Train the next generation of web developers and tech entrepreneurs in Nairobi, - Train disadvantaged and at-risk youths and fund their training - Fund startup companies and attract additional funding for your companies. - Economically develop the arts. - Change the educational system from a pay forward model where one incurs debt without a guarantee of a job to a payback model where one collaborates with and contributes to a community and is placed in a career. - Empower women to succeed in technology and create incentives for men to help women do so. A 25-minute presentation Ruby Nuby and it's non-profit arm, Agile Activism, followed by a Question and Answer session. Afterwards, we will brainstorm on how we can best take advantage of the 500kg of sponsored shipping to Nairobi from New York that we have obtained. We will use this sponsorship to import the computer gear necessary to set up our program. We just need the community support to make it happen. By using VolunTourism, we will attract the world's best developers and business leaders to come guest teach/lecture in Nairobi and then they will go on Safari which will economically develop the region's tourism industry. The mission of Ruby Nuby is to provide an environment that facilitates immersive learning by a Community of Contributors(TM) who contribute, learn and succeed by collaborating, cooperating and supporting each other. We work to promote a path to success where equal access, social justice, equability, diversity and sustainability are embraced.

Re: [Skunkworks] Database design question
by wesley kirinya 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

That's a clever design. So here's my question: Problem 1: Suppose you have 2 Objects, Object1 and Object2 with respective properties as Object1.ObjectProperties1, Object1.ObjectProperties2 and Object2.ObjectProperties1, Object2.ObjectProperties2 If you want to select values for Object1.ObjectPropertyTypes1 and Object2.ObjectPropertyTypes2 into 1 result set, then the query has to first resolve the respective IDs of the properties then query the values. Problem 2: Any result from query has to contain the ObjectPropertyType so that the type is know and can be placed in the right class type in your code e.g. for dates, you might like to place that in a Date object, Float object etc (since these are stored as strings in the DB). There are 2 sub-problems here. 1 is that the ObjectPropertyType table has to be re-queried every time u run a query, and 2, existing libraries that might translate a DB value to int, float, etc will not understand your structure therefore will resolve the field values to strings and u have to cast them to the types you want. Problem 3: You loose out on indexing features of the DB thus your DB will perform slower. I bet there are other problems... 8~) --- On Thu, 2/24/11, 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 12, Issue 326 To: skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke Date: Thursday, February 24, 2011, 7:07 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..."

SpamAssassin Under Linux VPS
by Odhiambo Washington 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

I am getting bald with this guys: On a Linux VPS (CentOS), I have setup a mail server (Exim+Dovecot+Clamav+SpamAssassin) but scanning mail for spam using SpamAssassin is proving to be a challenge. I am not a Linux expert, especially when it comes to challenges associated with VPS, but I can pretty much RTFM and succeed. This one is beating me: On my FreeBSD servers, I can easily get the desired results: (15:59:00 <~>) 0 $ sockstat -l | grep 783 root perl 83997 5 tcp4 127.0.0.1:783 *:* root perl 83996 5 tcp4 127.0.0.1:783 *:* root perl 10281 5 tcp4 127.0.0.1:783 *:* (15:57:21 <~>) 0 $ telnet 127.0.0.1 783 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. CONT SPAMD/1.0 76 Bad header line: CONT Connection closed by foreign host. However, on the Linux VPS when I run the same test, it just hangs there ... nothing responds on the port, even though I can see spamd listening on 783: [root@vps exim]# netstat -anp | grep 783 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:783 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21602/spamd.pid If any of you runs their servers on VPSes and are able to communicate with spamd, please tell me where to look. Af it might help, I can connect to the POP3 port on this server from remote locations, BUT not from localhost (127.0.0.1)! Since spamd is set to listen on 127.0.0.1, I cannot test it from a remote server, and I don't intend to change it to listen on the public IP for test purposes. Could it be something I need to change on the Linux? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

Local TV streaming
by Haggai Nyang 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

What will it take for local media outlets with free-to-air channels to stream live on Youtube like Al Jazeera does...making use of Google's extensive CDN? I might have heard of some Kenyan-based initiatives elsewhere but most I've seen do not work after some time. A lot of media is consumed online by the local netizens (hands up those who watch more video daily on computer/laptop/ipad etc than on TV), so this is only a logical step to follow. And no, select video uploads to Youtube channels does not count. Suggestions, anyone?

I have contacted their support team, account manager, head of account managers, and some finance guy to try and get my domain name transferred to a different ISP and all I am getting is (what's the opposite of cooperation?). I am sick and tired of talking to people who are only taking me round in circles. I'd like to talk to someone who is more thoughtful of what their clients think of them.

Send mail from 2 internet links
by Simon Mbuthia 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

Hi guys, I happen to be on two ISPs [therefore two public IPs. My mail server uses an ISP [ISP-A] whose link which has been annoyingly erratic since yesterday. I wish to route my outgoing emails through the other ISP [ISP-B], but some servers reject our mails when we use that link due to inconsistent PTR records. What I mean is this: mail.mydomain.co.ke resolves to my ISP-A [public] IP address. When I route to ISP-B, the EHLO message would show a connection coming from mail.mydomain.co.ke, but the PTR would not be equal to the IP given by ISP-B [from which the email actually originates] and that is why some mail servers drop the connection at that point. Now my question: Is there a way I can combine dvert traffic to go out through my ISP-B box such that traffic appears to be from ISP-A? I tried using SNAT yesterday and it didnt work. Experiment: I was also wondering whether it is possible to route traffic based on the destination port, i.e. my mail and squid proxy server is 192.168.80.1/24 and also has 172.16.10.2/29. The ISP-A box is 172.16.10.1/29and ISP-B is 172.16.10.3/29 [not their real IPs :-P]. I would like to make the default gateway for my mail and internet server 172.16.10.3, but route outgoing SMTP only traffic through 172.16.10.1. I know port numbers are dealt with in the transport layer while routing is a lyer 3 affair, but Ibelieve all things are possible in computing. I would appreciate your ideas, suggestions, criticisms and even blank replies as are normally sent by some. Me.

by Mr. Lawi 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Hello good people, Some time in January there was a thread about PM training and many people expressed interest in signing up for a certification course. I also promised to get back to the group on the said PM training schedule for the year. I got in touch with Prometrics Associates Kenya under whom I did my training. They are conducting some trainings in March. Contact me offlist or get in touch with Ms Jane Njeru at info(a)proceptkenya.com or call her on +254 722 958 637 for more details on the registration for the upcoming trainings. I'd have attached the docs here but they are too big.

Web hosting with sasahost.com
by Peter Karunyu 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Good people, A friend of mine wants to host a site and my process of elimination has yielded two contestants: eacdirectory.com and sasahost.com. So, i wanted to find out how good sasahost.com are in terms of reliability, responding to support requests and all those important things to look for in a webhost. I am leaning more towards sasahost.com coz they seem to give more for less, e.g. on eac i get 250MB disk space for KES 2320 but with KES 1500, i get 4GB on sasahost.com. Much thanks!

The philosophy of technology business in Africa, and why we must get it right - http://bit.ly/gx0OC4
by Mbugua Njihia 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Running a technology based business in Africa can be a tough call, as technology changes so rapidly that it could render your innovation or service redundant in a flash. There is the proverbial build, buy, integrate or adapt conundrum. Business models for technology companies, more so those offering services are not as straight forward as one would think. There are numerous permutations to think of as consumers are a tough lot to please or convert. The debate for free, paid or freemium shall not be concluded soon, in as much as there are stellar examples of each out there. While the above issues are pertinent to developing robust technology based businesses, I think the reason for not seeing big "indigenous tech based service " companies in Africa, is that we are yet to nail the philosophy and ethos of our businesses. What do our technology services companies exist to do? Google for example seeks to organize the world's information, Facebook seeks to connect the world and local poster child Ushahidi seeks to map out crisis information to aid in decision making. - http://bit.ly/gx0OC4

Database design question
by Peter Karunyu 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Can someone one please poke holes in my theory below? *The Theory:* Suppose you want to create the database structure of, hmmm, lets say a new CMS, instead of creating the database structure in the normal way i.e. content, users, categories etc, you do it in a totally different way, like below: Table* Objects:* Columns: objID | name | (other house keeping columns here e.g. date created, created by etc) Table *ObjectPropertyTypes:* optID | propertyTypeName Table* ObjectProperties:* opID | objID | optID | propertyName Table *ObjectsData:* odID | objID | opID | value Therefore, suppose you wanted to store articles with the columns (articleId, title, description, date added, published) and containing the data (1, "Welcome to Skunkworks", "Entire body of article will come here", "2011-02-23 18:50", 1), the resulting database structure would be: Table *Objects:* objID | name 1 | "articles" Table *ObjectPropertyTypes:* optID | propertyTypeName 100 | "Number" 101 | "Text" 102 | "Date" Table *ObjectProperties:* opID | objID | optID | propertyName 200 | 1 | 100 | "articleId" 201 | 1 | 101 | "title" 202 | 1 | 101 | "description" 203 | 1 | 102 | "dateAdded" 204 | 1 | 101 | "published" Table *ObjectsData:* odID | objID | opID | value 301 | 1 | 200 | 1 302 | 1 | 201 | "Welcome to Skunkworks" 303 | 1 | 202 | "Entire body of article will come here" 304 | 1 | 203 | "2011-02-23 18:50" 305 | 1 | 204 | 1 So, what am I missing?

Hello, So the other day I made a mad dash to Sarit's Safcom Shop so that I could buy the Ideos, unfortunately they only had Pink ones, so I thought I should get hold of the VF 845. Good fone too only underside is no goodies are supplied with it, 1K airtime and 600MB of Data. And furthermore they do not even give you a micro SD. Last nail to the coffin, works only with a safcom line no Airtel, YU Blah blah ... So jana I flashed out the Vodacom soft and installed *Pro Celestial*, hopping to unlock it in the process but nothing. Angry birds wont play on it, I really hope to unlock it some how :-) and add even more cool stuff ... -- Watson Kambo

Interesting thread of comments, I was not able yo read through all of them but this is my contribution after trying to mentor so many youths on this field and also after seating in some IT interviews for sometime. Its this simple, how do you connect what you learn in class with the real life situation? Do you take time yo think how an you could apply an algorithm, programming language, structured cabling, submerging to solve a real life situation. Lectures might be so outdated, so discouraging, they simply look so out of this world but what matters is how you can connect things(shit taught by lecturers) to solve real World problems. Finally be focused and develop a go-getter attitude. On Feb 22, 2011 9:16 PM, "Richard Gathogo" <muraguri2005(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hi, First of I am grateful for this chance to "Fungua roho".

In both cases I have been forced to very fast learn what those are all about. 2 years ago I thought ODE was useless but know I know better. Real computer science to me is providing solutions to the many challenges in the society. My suggestion wouldn't be more to a change in curriculum but the universities or colleges creating an environment for students to learn on their own and benefit the community.

Thanks guys, I was trying to avoid that trip to Customer Care. A gentleman from Zain got in touch and said he will check it out. All hail the power of the lists (and the members)! As u guys have pointed out, the SIM might need activation at the CCC (Customer Care Center) coz the SIM that was working was most likely activated when the phone was bought. 8~) --- On Mon, 2/21/11, 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 12, Issue 253 To: skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke Date: Monday, February 21, 2011, 2:53 PM 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..."

Fwd: [afnog] AfNOG 2011 Advanced Routing Workshop
by Michuki Mwangi 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [afnog] AfNOG 2011 Advanced Routing Workshop Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2011 14:31:31 +1000 From: Philip Smith <pfs(a)cisco.com> Organization: Cisco Systems To: AfNOG List <afnog(a)afnog.org> Hi everyone, In case you have not been reading the AfNOG 2011 announcements from Nancy, I'd like to let you know about one *new* workshop being offered at AfNOG 2011 this year. For many years folks have been asking for more detailed BGP training than was possible to fit into the Scalable Infrastructure workshop. Well, your requests have been answered, and Mark Tinka and I will be leading the Advanced Routing workshop in Dar es Salaam. We'll be teaching ISIS and BGP. Including iBGP, eBGP, and especially how to implement BGP policies for Multihoming. The workshop will include IPv4 and IPv6 Routing as well. (I've attached the workshop synopsis.) If you are interested, please sign up for the workshop. The sooner you do the better, so that AfNOG Secretariat can plan properly for the event. Applications: http://www.afnog.org/application.html Thanks!! philip -- Advanced Routing The workshop is a mix of lectures and hands-on training in a well-equipped classroom over a five-day period to teach skills required for the configuration and operation of large scale Networks that make up the Internet. Who should attend: Technical staff who are now building or operating a wide area service provider network or Internet Exchange point, with international and/or multi provider connectivity. Participants are required to bring laptops. Pre-requisites: Successful completion of a previous AfNOG Scalable Infrastructure Workshop or similar training. Alternatively, participants must demonstrate acceptable knowledge of or their experience with a router configuration language. Experience of interior routing protocols such as OSPF or ISIS is also necessary, and participants must have used BGP. Some user level Unix experience would be advantageous. Workshop Contents: * Introduction to the ISIS Routing protocol * Introduction to IPv6 * BGP refresher, including attributes, policies, communities and best practices. * BGP scaling techniques, including Route Reflectors and peer-groups * Techniques and strategies for multihoming using BGP. * Introduction to peering and Internet Exchange Points. * Best practices for Internet operations. -- _______________________________________________ afnog mailing list http://afnog.org/mailman/listinfo/afnog

VAT application on local software
by joseph karanja 19 Feb '11

19 Feb '11

Hello Skunkworks, I would like to find out if Value Added Tax is applied on locally developed software. Reason I ask is because I've noted that 'imported' softwares e.g. quickbooks, kaspersky etc do not attract VAT. If possible can we get someone from KRA or the media personalities to push this question to the relevant authorities for clarification. -- Regards, Joseph Karanja Sales & Marketing Director Olivine Technology Ojijo Plaza,Plums Lane, Off Ojijo Road, Parklands (Near Parklands Sports Club). www.olivinetech.com P.o.

Agile...
by Nicholas Loki 19 Feb '11

19 Feb '11

Hi Skunks, Recently got asked in an interview for some oversees developer position, "so, what agile software development methodologies do you use?" My 'blonde' response was, ehh...I know all about them, it's just that in Africa we don't really use them. Based on projects I have worked on so far I can see elements of XP (Extreme Programming) that I have used. So coders/developers/architects/project managers et al, what software development methodologies, agile or otherwise, are you using out there? What would you says works for you and why? KR, Loki
