by Dave Kirirah 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi, a few months ago my colegue accidentally swallowed a cmos battery and she is not a technician....I being a technical guy i adviced her to take a COLON CLEANING ENEMAS whea they flush out all content of ur intestines since she said she fears that that the battery hasnt come out by natural cause even after a week. So the next week on a tuesday she told me she did as i said and they managed to find the cmos...i told her i dont want it back but am glad she's ok.. Anywy after two three weeks , her body looks mavelous and her skin is so clean i dont know if it has anything to do with this procedure. Bt anywy, has anyone ever had this procedure done to them...because it looks like a good idea to flush toxins out of ur body n hv ur colon brand new.. If u hv, let me know if it hurts coz this gal cnt share anything with me..because i was the cause of all this battery swallowing incident.. <http://ezinearticles.com/?Colon-Cleaning-Enemas&id=428690> -- Direct your attention to the best... http://www.bigbang.co.ke/

To Re-Invent the wheel? Why is it important for us to keep re-inventing, re-evolving. I also give you a project..
by aki 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Many companies, investors do not think about the re-invention issue. Most VCs, Seeds, goodwill or angel investors or even partnerships will consider the impact of your work/product/solution. Does it have to be ground breaking? It has to be different.... *As a example of re-inventing the wheel is this:* -OLD WHEEL : Fascinating facts about the invention of the Wheel by Mesopotamian's in c3500 BC. http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/wheel.htm - NEW WHEEL : The brand OZ Racing is developed and manufactured in Italy. Pure OZ Racing Style, pure Italian Style. http://www.ozracing.com/car_wheels_brands/OZ%20Racing.aspx So with that simple example in mind, I'd like to have your attention for the words below. I list this project and is the property of the Skunks KE community. *Lets begin with what you are: * - 90% of us are all just end users of systems. Whether Developers or not, you are just that. So you know how to write scripts on linux, windows or mac? So what, so can millions of other people. - You know how to write C#, C++, CSS or HTML or JAVA? So what, you are no different from 90% of the end user market. - You know to configure Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris? Yeah, ok whatever. - You know how to create graphics or logos on photoshop? Yeah, good work but no one cares. - You know how to setup, configure, plesk, cpanel, asterisk etc? Again, so what. So does the rest of the world who taught you to configure these. - I know how to confirgure Cisco, Nortel, Juniper, Rad, Extreme Networks? Right, tell the world something new! While we all are at the mercy of what happens elsewhere it becomes our zone to improve, re-evolve and re-invent as much as possible. *The Project Idea:* We all know that the Mobile market is exploding with many demands and better handsets. We also know that Smartphones is just but a tiny market. What is needed is really a USSD type of application that is not handset dependent, thus allowing access that is not even internet dependent. *The Wheel:* Ohh, do I hear everyone running to Kannel? Or providers like clickatel? I bet you 90% of all SMS gateways are running kannel and so you know how to setup and configure? Great, your are just another user statistic in the picture of technology development. How many kenyan providers use this product? Ohh, am a kannel developer and I know how to do wonderful things on kannel. Rubbish statement, you are just driver of a nissan matatu that is an LHD model. The Kannel Wheel evolved for Kenyan and African Markets, developed and open for re-investment to any investors like eg Nokia, VCs, Seeders, Telcos, Partnerships : Let me not even fill in the details here..... *So what is it that am saying?* Gentlemen, Ladies. Mind not the language but I hope it brings out the point. There is so much to be done, we need to build and invite investments. Am still a hobbyist dev so I have enough time to kill study and time on various projects, so far there are 17 lined up enough to keep me busy for many many months. Are you still trying to be an end user in the name of not re-inventing or re-evolving? My plea to you in one. Please wake up from that end user sleep and do something. Each day that goes is a loss for this country in terms of investments, recognition. and technology development You are also letting opportunities go by as you stand and watch others from countries come up with simple and silly ways, yet they are getting somewhere. I can only wish you success with your projects. :-) Me thots and corrections welcome. Rgds.

Speed camera that can check your seatbelt
by Joshua Twinamasiko G. 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Good morning, While East Africa is yet to have speed cameras installed on highways (I stand to be corrected, but I don’t remember any fixed cameras along any East African roads that I have used, just the speed guns that traffic police officers use depending on their mood) Finland is deploying a camera that can detect your speed, whether you have a seatbelt or not, insurance and tax status and can send photos and call the police on its own.

Safaricom 3G Data Bundles - Skewed Decisions
by Odhiambo Washington 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Sometimes I wonder how the think tanks at Safaricom reason: What is the difference between a PrePay 3G Internet user and a PostPay one, that makes the PostPay one be given preferential treatment/consideration?? On The DN of today, Safaricom has an Ad on Pg 3 on which they have increased the 3G bundle amounts (disproportionately anyway), BUT ONLY FOR PostPay customers? Seems like those elitist tendencies. I have used Safaricom modem data bundles from the start on PrePay, hence my annoyance at Safaricom favoring PostPay (though I am a PostPay voice user). Safaricom has now decided the PostPay user should get 700MB, up from 300MB for KES 999. For now I'll stay with Orange. They give me 1GB for KES 850, not KES 999. However, I am still wondering what is the objective of Safaricom's decision. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

How much of Open Source Free Software contributes towards Kenya's National GDP ?
by aki 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

With so much that the Open Source world has given out for free to the rest of the world, may be it is time we looked at the National GDP value. If I remember the figures, the reason for KE as a dev enviroment was the Ksh500m that was earned as an export figure. And how many jobs have such created ? PS: Free Web Servers and Databases do not count, unless they have a significant impact on the type and industry. Me thots. :-)

OT: The Fascinating Story of the Twins Who Share Brains, Thoughts, and Senses
by [ Brainiac ] 08 Nov '10

<http://gawker.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&i…> By Jesus Diaz The Fascinating Story of the Twins Who Share Brains, Thoughts, and Senses<http://gawker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&…> [image: The Fascinating Story of the Twins Who Share Brains, Thoughts, and Senses]<http://gawker.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=251e609e1dba3888b86c21cc8&…>This is one of the most surprising and awesome tales ever told in the history of medicine. These twins are Tatiana and Krista Hogan. Their brains and sensory systems are networked together, but they have separate personalities. Their story defies belief. So much, in fact, that Tatiana and Krista Hogan shouldn't be alive at all. Their chances of surviving the pregnancy, birth and first months of life were almost zero. Surprisingly, they turned four on October 25, and they are still healthy and happy, as you can see in the photo above. They play Nintendo Wii games against each other, they fight for toys and they share food and physiological functions. But they also share their senses. For example, one can pick an object out of her field of view, while the twin looks at the object. [image: The Fascinating Story of the Twins Who Share Brains, Thoughts, and Senses] Most importantly, however, they can share each other *thoughts*, like their grandmother—Louise McKay—describes: They share thoughts, too. Nobody will be saying anything, and Tati will just pipe up and say, ‘Stop that!' And she'll smack her sister. Scientists are nothing short of absolutely amazed. Here you have two kids, completely different from each other, with their own distinct personality, but with connected brains and sensory systems. Dr. Douglas Cochrane—neurosurgeon at Vancouver's Children's Hospital—has tested their networking abilities: Their brains are recording signals from the other twin's visual field. One might be seeing what the other one is seeing. Nobody can possibly imagine how this may work and feel for them. And since they haven't developed their full verbal skills yet, scientists can't ask them about it. I don't know if they will have a lot of answers for them, however. If they ask me how I see or smell things, there is no way that I could accurately describe it. These actions *just happen*. Like you and me, they have no other point of reference. Their life is the only one they know. For them, sharing thoughts and senses is the only way things could be. But whatever the implications for science and philosophy are, their mother is just happy and grateful for every day with them. She also believe they're here for a reason but, "we just don't know the reason yet." I don't know what that reason could be, but the mere fact that they are alive, happy, loving and being loved, is enough for me.

"GIVE US WHEREON TO STAND AND WE WILL MOVE THE EARTH" Aki.... If I had HALF of the opportunities Bill Gates had when growing up, you'd be using my OS right now, hell, you'd have a bumper sticker with my name on it - and I'm not trying to sound cocky, I mean it. But all hope is not lost, there's a generation coming up that we're paving way for, they won't have much in terms of resources as compared to their American or European counterparts, but one word describes them 'Brilliant', not that we aren't brilliant - we're still learning the ropes after having computers introduced into our lives in a major way in our early 20's. So, Aki, loose the comparisons - Mid-life crises can't be that bad, or is it?

Regex Help

Hello world, I am looking at a certain function in php, from the IMP mail reader (Horde Groupware). I have played a bit with it, but I hate the idea of having several lines of: $vdomain = preg_replace('|^STRING\.|i', '', $vdomain); <CUT> if (!function_exists('_imp_hook_vinfo')) { function _imp_hook_vinfo($type = 'username') { $vdomain = getenv('HTTP_HOST'); $vdomain = preg_replace('|^webmail\.|i', '', $vdomain); $vdomain = preg_replace('|^gw\.|i', '', $vdomain); $vdomain = preg_replace('|^mail\.|i', '', $vdomain); $vdomain = preg_replace('|^(webmail|gw|mail|otherstring)\.|i','', $vdomain); $vdomain = String::lower($vdomain); if ($type == 'username') { return preg_replace('|\.|', '.', $_SESSION['imp']['user'] . '@' . $vdomain); } elseif ($type == 'vdomain') { return $vdomain; } else { return PEAR::raiseError('invalid type: ' . $type); } } } </CUT> Now, instead of having several lines to match and replace a certain string with an empty string, I am thinking a single line regex would do, and it should, no?? I have tried the following: $vdomain = preg_replace('|^(webmail|gw|mail|otherstring)\.|i','', $vdomain); But I end up with an error: Unknown modifier 'g' in *hooks.php.* Is it because I am using mixed up string separator? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

The life of a common mwananchi developer in kenya
by Peter Karunyu 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Good people, i seek your opinions on a certain matter. Skunk Aki has come back from his "sabbatical" fired up, one of his posts got me to re-examine the life of a kawaida developer. Any developer who is any good is either employed or self employed, I strongly believe that a programmer who knows his/her stuff cannot stay without work for an appreciable period of time in this city. Of the good skunk developers I know, 99% work long hours. Of those I have talked to, 99.99% have some really exciting ideas but which eventually never get implemented, why? Because they work long hours and the rest of the hours they spend trying to get a resemblance of a social life. So here is my dilemma; I got bills to pay, I got this person/organization willing to pay me well to work for them, voila, problem solved. However, I still got this burning idea at the back of my mind which I can't implement right now because it would need me to dedicate all my time to it, a.k.a quit the job that pays my bills. And the first question is; to you skunks who managed to extricate thyself from the warm, comfortable bosom of safe, secure, well paying employment, and jump into the murky waters of self employment, how did you do it? And the other question is; to you employed skunk seated there at your nice desk doing what you love doing knowing at the end of the month, there will be an appreciable bump in your bank balance, yet you often get that burning feeling of leaving all that safety to go work on that idea, yes, that crazy idea you cant seem to forget, what is stopping you?

PC Tech Releases Issue 8
by Albert Mucunguzi 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

?Dear All, We are delighted to inform you that Issue 8 (November 2010) of PC Tech magazine has been released, a download of which is available on the website. As usual, this issue has been modified in respect to readers' feedback, as well as the transformation to an international publication - following our launch in Ghana at the end of September. What we need to emphasize, however, is that PC Tech, as an international-standard magazine may not significantly be different to what our local readers have been served with over the previous seven issues. The Internet has changed how consumers buy and organizations market in today’s economy. The promise of the Internet in the marketing function of organizations is seen as direct dialogue with customers and enhancing opportunities for branding initiatives, product customization, and relationship building with customers. It is becoming an increasing norm for organizations to achieve this objective of understanding customers and their needs by forming or building a community of its customers or potential customers online. Obviously PC Tech is one of the many initiatives that have benefited from online activities. A fast growing online community of readers, fans and technology enthusiasts including over 2,500 Facebook members has seen our website's Alexa.com traffic ranking (global) move from over 22Million in May 2010 to just over 90,000 in October. What we found even more interesting is the country rank of #22 in the last week of October (google.co.ug is #1, New Vision, is ranked #6). So we have done a feature on online communities, and considerations on might need to bear in mind before starting one. As expected, there is a lot that you will find in this issue. The Digital Natives workshop in Johannesburg early this month (of course PC Tech is attending), features on social networking, antivirus software, games and the upcoming Africa Internet (and mobile) entrepreneurs' conference. We are allowing 200 free full downloads. Get yours here: http://pctechmagazine.com/downloads/cat_view/47-magazine-issues Thank you for reading PC Tech Magazine.

Decomissioning Win2008/Exch2007
by Samuel Wachira 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Been battling to decomission one server acting as GC, AD, DNS, Exch2007 I have moved all public folders to new server, moved all PF replicas, Still i cannot remove The Public Folder database. The new server cannot see its own as a Global Catalog, so it is using the old server as the GC. So i decided to cut off the AD for old server. DCpromo ran but displayed a delegation error in DNS (Not a biggie, ince id not need delegation anyway) So i rebooted the both servers: Then the the crap hit the fan. Both servers fail to log in, no AD, No Exch2007, No DNS, no DHCP. Windows Server 2008 / Exchange2007 does not register its own Global Catalog records in DNS has to be done manually (Why 0 Why) Managed to rerun AD on old server, forced replication on the two, and now am back to the original state. Still need to decomission the old win2k8 server. Ex2007 HUB+CAS are out, only MBX remaining. PF issues again. Any ideas?

Fedora 14
by Dennis Kioko 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

The Fedora Project, a Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT) sponsored and community-supported open source collaboration, today announced the availability of Fedora 14, the latest version of its free open source operating system distribution. The Fedora Projects leads the advancement of free and open source software with a new distribution released approximately every six months. "I'm very proud of the work that has been put into Fedora 14," said Jared Smith, Fedora Project Leader. "A myriad of contributors have helped to make free and open source software more pervasive with this release." Fedora 14 includes several new features for developers, system administrators and open source enthusiasts including: - Framework software for Spice, a rapidly advancing infrastructure for desktop virtualization - New debugging features for developers, such as support for dynamic/unplanned memory usage tracking and faster launch thanks to pre-generated indexes - Powerful remote and out-of-band management capabilities with Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) support - Updated tech preview of the GNOME shell environment, part of the upcoming GNOME 3.0 release - A subset of new and innovative software from the MeeGo™ community for an enhanced experience on netbooks and small devices - OpenSCAP, an open-source framework for the Security Content Automation Protocol, which provides a framework and approach to maintaining system security backed by NIST standards - Support for emergent programming languages like D, and refreshed versions of popular languages such as Python 2.7, Erlang R14, and the Rakudo Star implementation of Perl 6 A complete list of Fedora 14 features is available on the Fedora community's release announcement<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_announcement>. Watch the Fedora 14 release video here <http://www.redhat.com/Fedora> to learn more about new features and the Fedora community. Premiering alongside Fedora 14 is a new re-design of Fedora's community-supported website, fedoraproject.org<http://www.fedoraproject.org/>. The new site is a culmination of work completed within multiple areas of the Fedora community including the Design, Websites, Marketing, Translation and Infrastructure teams. The new website showcases the capabilities Fedora offers for many different types of users, including developers, designers, general productivity users and more. It was designed and created entirely using free and open source software that is available in the Fedora repository, and maintained and translated by a team of contributors, collaborating from around the world. Fedora is used by millions of people globally, with each release of Fedora accumulating several million Internet (IP) addresses checking in for updates. Some systems and users stay on a single release of Fedora because of its stability and functionality, while some upgrade when new releases become available. The total of unique IP addresses across Fedora releases since tracking was initiated at Fedora 7 is more than 25.5 million addresses. Information about Fedora's statistics and collection methodology is open and transparent to the public on the following wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Statistics. The Fedora Project's record of open, transparent collaboration with the community continues to attract participants, with more than 22,000 currently registered contributors. The global Fedora community also continues to grow with around 700 Fedora Ambassadors. These are members of the Fedora community who spend time as volunteers representing the Fedora Project at community and trade events, and speaking to public and private institutions about Fedora and free and open source software. For more information about the Fedora Project, visit www.fedoraproject.org. For more news about Red Hat, visit www.redhat.com.

Hypothetical scenario : SOS app for a situation like Hurricane Kathrina?
by aki 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Since we are very good at SOS apps so just being hypothetical here, can such SOS app be done and what prize money can KE offer to the USA devs? Here is a problem : For example most USA devs are interested in youtube successes, newer words and buyouts. GIS apps, AOL buys out Trech Crunch, Location based blah-blah etc etc, i-Apps, Andriod apps, you name it. Even Yahoo has bought out the ever famous Zimbra. And in the meantime, in KE we are looking for VCs so as to do what? Ahhh,,, that grand idea of " funding me " to develop some grand app? But the VCs are also going to benefit in variuos ways either by investments or the rest. Why "fund me else I cannot develop" similar to some politicans making a plea for financial aid. How we in some sectors of ICT have begun to master the Saidia-Ohh-Saidia too well ? I'd like to know the development costs in KE for any projects that costs running even into Kshs 100,000/-? And on what basis? Nothing personal, just some thots along Dev lines. :-) Rgds.

Disk Full, yet not actually full

I have a strange phenomena on an Mecer Classmate netbook, though I think this has nothing to do with the computer mode. It's running Windows XP SP3. The disk shows it's almost full - 3GB Free out of 60GB, yet a physical analysis of all the files and folders show they total only about 7GB. I have run scandisk (/R /F) - takes hours to complete, but doesn't seem to "cure" the disease. Is it time to dump the disk or there a cure someone knows of out there? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

SOS apps are for NGOs, which majority of kenyans cannot use
by aki 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Not sure if this makes any sense for developers who are into this circle but should know its limitations. Such apps are designed for a specific use such as the known objectives of an NGO. To further the argument, how come none of the SOS apps devs have approached other KE NGOs and communities that would be in need of such apps? Social ills that needs SOS apps: - Alcoholics - Rape and Abuse prevention - Malaria related - HIV related - Corruption - Drug abuse and addiction The list is endless. Rgds.

Windows based vs DOS based (DB-IV type apps)
by Ngũgĩ Kĩmani 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

I am about to replace a DOS based payroll with a Windows(R) based one for a client, to include HR features like leave-management etc. But the payroll runs fine, it can run forever, forever hustle-free!!! I do not wish to sound premedieval, but apps based on DOS used to run so smooth and fast. No mouse, no java, no add-ons, no problems - just TAB and ENTER on dumb terminals/thin clients. I understand there is the major issue of security that has resulted in heavier and heavier apps being created for Windows vs DOS, but OS like Novell and UNIX had serious inbuilt security and apps were not easy to crack, yet all they lacked was beauty; but they did their job! Think of banking systems for example, I believe some old modules still run on mainframes somewhere in the back office(s). Can't we have some developers recreate such apps for the nostalgic, but performance-focused people, finding a way to add security but keeping the fancy look out of the whole process? All we hear is we need faster processors and more memory, but even those extra computing resources are never used for the real work. Stuff like Flash and Java are OK for the aesthetics, but are they really necessary for apps for small one-branch organizations, for example? Everyone* appears to want web-based apps, even when there are <30 users on a well-wired LAN with the server(s) in the next room. Is it just a hype about web-based or are there clear cut advantages? I feel performance is being compromised when other alternatives may exist out there, and it may be time to revisit old ideas? Go back to our roots, if you like. What are your thoughts guys? -- Ngũgĩ Kĩmani | Fundi wa Mitambo | 0772 576846 | http://www.mafundi.co.ke/home

Trendy Desktop Clone or Something Else...
by Jacob Ayienda 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

No offence but I got to check out www.kenyatweets.com and I just couldnt tell what was so different from Trendy Desktop < https://sites.google.com/site/jacobayienda/> Looks very much like a clone to me with the only difference being that it is web based. They probably even cloned the blue color too. The top trends and links for one either dont seem to refresh or are taking too long. I also got to look at some report on their website and I just have to say Kenyans really know how to copy ideas. Unfortunately as they will learn as I have, Twitters pretty much killing of 3rd party apps by implementing their unique functionalities or buying off the bigger competitors. There wont be much of a 3rd party market by the time they are finished.

Microsoft seeks to position Windows Phone 7 by bullying Android
by Dennis Kioko 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

Reading some article in the forthcoming issue of CIO East Africa<http://www.cio.co.ke>, Microsoft is one of the few mobile OS producers who still sell the OS, yes, sell the OS. On top of this they do not allow customization of the OS. And what do the phone manufacturers get from this shitty deal? Well, they are protected from Intellectual Property suits. As a demonstration of this , Microsoft has gone ahead to sue Motorola for infringing on MS IP on their Android phones. Motorola, once ardent deployers of Windows Mobile turned down the shitty deal by saying they saw no value in such a deal. HTC were forced to cross patent on some of their Android phones. What difference does Microsoft have from Mungiki who will sell you security and demonstrate by going ahead to rob those who did not buy security. Oh, and If the Apple event, If and only If it was deliberately not streamed in Africa, As an African, I would feel like a betrayer if I went to buy out one of their products. Again, this is IFF it was not deliberately streamed. -- with Regards: Cunning Nairobi Hawkers http://gramware.blogspot.com/2010/10/nairobi-hawkers-and-fraud.html

28 Oct '10

LPI Hosts Promotional Exam Labs with InWent/FOSSFA in Kenya and South Africa (Sacramento, CA, USA: October 28, 2010) - The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), the world's premier Linux certification organization (http://www.lpi.org) announced promotional exam labs for their Linux Professional Institute Certification (LPIC) with the Free and Open Source Software Foundation for Africa (FOSSFA: http://www.fossfa.net/) on November 13, 2010 (Strathmore University, Nairobi, Kenya) and February 12, 2010 in South Africa (location to be announced). These exam labs are part of a larger "train-the-trainers" program jointly sponsored by FOSSFA and InWEnt Capacity Building International of Germany (InWEnt: http://www.inwent.org/) "We are pleased to assist FOSSFA in their efforts to develop skilled trainers in the professional use of Linux. In particular, we applaud their efforts to recruit potential trainers within academic institutions, government agencies, small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia and South Africa. These types of enterprises recognize the value in adopting Free and Open Source software and have the opportunity of becoming leaders in Linux training in their respective countries and business sectors," said Jim Lacey, president and CEO of the Linux Professional Institute. "The ict@innovation<http://fossfa.net:2095/horde/imp/message.php?index=1726#>(FOSSFA) project is excited to be partnering with the LPI to help increase the number of qualified and certified Linux Engineers and System Administrators in Africa. This partnership will go a long way in enhancing the promotion and use of FOSS solutions which will in effect lead to a wider adoption of FOSS. This we believe will have a positive impact in the development of the IT industry in the participating countries. We are looking at a much longer term engagement with the LPI," said Evans Ikua, FOSS Certification Manager, ict@innovation <http://fossfa.net:2095/horde/imp/message.php?index=1726#>, FOSSFA.

Please indicate preferred exam and time slot when registering for exam events (exams will be available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Strathmore University--time slots are still being set for the exam lab in South Africa). To participate in the exam labs you must obtain an LPI ID at our registration area:http://www.lpi.org/eng/certification/register_now Each exam takes approximately 90 minutes to complete. Each exam is available at the promotional price of $ 95 USD. Following exam registration at events(a)lpi.org<http://fossfa.net:2095/horde/imp/message.php?index=1726#>candidates will be contacted regarding payment details. In addition, candidates must bring their LPI ID and a government issued photo identification to the exam lab. The joint FOSSFA/InWEnt Linux training project is part of an ict@innovation <http://fossfa.net:2095/horde/imp/message.php?index=1726#>program which aims at building capacities for African small and medium ICT enterprises to do business with Free and Open Source Software (http://www.ict-innovation.fossfa.net/) The ict@innovation <http://fossfa.net:2095/horde/imp/message.php?index=1726#>program is also funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA).

Fw: Laptop Battle of the Brands: Dell vs. Toshiba
by Joshua Twinamasiko G. 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Toshiba, although shopping for a brand name only is not enough. You need to have your specific needs known also so that you do not buy a low spec good brand which is not as good as a high spec other brand. The 2nd last time I bought a laptop I bought a Dell because it had better specs than all the Toshibas available on the local market. Regards, Joshua Twinamasiko G.
