my beutiful iPhone 4
by isaac kinyanjui 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

iPhone 4, you're the most beautiful thing. Holding you—so solid, so smooth, your zowielala screen glowing—makes me greedy. My precious. I want to lick you. I can't stop looking at you. But your industrial design is a failure. Don't get me wrong. Like I said back when we found you, you are oh so pretty. But after holding you, after seeing some of the glaring problems you have, I have to surrender to the facts. Your industrial design sucks because, despite your sheer beauty, your blazing speed, and having the best software in any smartphone today, Jon Ive and his team didn't completely follow their beloved Dieter Rams' guidelines for good design. First and foremost, the rule that good design has to be durable. Good design has to stand the pass of time both aesthetically and physically. Good design has to age gracefully. The object, whatever it is, can't get easily scratched. Its surface can't easily shatter. It has to perdure. It has to arrive to the future and feel at home and natural. Then, good design also has to be thorough. Nothing must be left to chance. And good design has to make a product useful. It has to show respect to the user by providing the function it claims with perfection and accuracy. Its form has to follow function to its final consequences. read more....http://gizmodo.com/5572546/design-test-note-fragile-beauty

Career path for a developer; requests for opinions
by Peter Karunyu 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Dear skunks and skunkette developers, I would like to know, from your personal experiences, the path taken by a developer in their career progression, and if possible, the changes over time in the number of zeros in your remuneration, roughly in the following format: 1. What languages, tools and technologies were you using when u started out 2. What languages, tools and technologies are you using now 3. How many jobs have you had over then, and what generally were you doing 4. How has your salo/income changed over the same period I find myself in a situation where I need to advice impressionable minds on the same. Much thanks!

ccTLD vs gTLD
by kennedy waweru 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Greetings skunks Greetings I am just concluding some research I have been undertaking for the last six month on the policy factors of our Kenyan .ke that hamper its uptake. My focus was on how some of these policies affect ( hamper) the uptake of our .ke. With regard to this, I'd like to throw a general question to those dealing with domain names (registrars) on their take on this. My research questions touched four distinct areas 1. domain structure policies: that is policy issues on how the Kenyan .ke domain is structured and who should determine the policy for the second level domain. factors such as second level registration as opposed to third level registration 2. **Registry and operational policy approach: that is policy issues regarding who should administer the database for the .ke domain and the financial model employed. 3. Registrar policy approach: that is policy issues regarding who should be licenced to access the .ke domain database and the license conditions. 4. Social, political and ecomonic factors that are outside the policy influence but which affect its uptake and use. Though I have collected data from the sample represented in my research, I'd like to use skunkworks to feel out the general feeling about the same. My general question is this: compared to policy of popular gTLDs like .com, what are the strengths and weaknesses of our kenyan ccTLD policies that have directly or indirectly influenced its uptake either negatively or positively? I also encourage other skunks and skunkettes to air their views. Kind regards, Kennedy Waweru

Guys, I am a member of this list. I find this list very resourceful. Just a request. Could you be having projects that you can subcontract to me? I am a techie, confined in a wheelchair. I have been looking for a job, which you all know is quite a challenge, especially due to access challenges - buildings, stereotypes, etc- issues that I don't want to dwell on - I want to look forward. I can work from home and deliver, since I have a laptop and internet connection. Waiting to read your responses. Duncan Thuku

KTN Tech Junkie
by Larry Madowo 24 Jun '10

24 Jun '10

Good people, Just thought I'd share this with you. KTN is launching Kenya's first tech show next week Wednesday at 9.50pm. We're about all things tech but given our mass market appeal, nothing too technical. Basically, tech in English, if you get the drift. If you watch KTN, you might have seen our teaser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpYtFlZyaR4 This has taken years of planning and putting it together, convincing and all that. Putting together a weekly half-hour show on prime time on nothing but technology is not one of the easiest things, especially in this country. But that is the challenge the production team and myself have taken upon ourselves. But we'd love to hear from you, the real techies (not wannabe techies like myself). We'd like ideas on what you'd like to see on the show. The Skunkociety has loads of great initiatives, projects, ideas and stuff that we'd like to give the national platform and influence of KTN. We'd also like feedback on the show once it airs. We'll avail most of it online, and repeat it on Saturday afternoon (yeah I know the Mexico v France game is on at the time) Its still at a beta stage right now but we will appreciate whatever shreds of info, ideas, suggestions, feedback, contacts that we can get. After all, Tech Junkie is for you. You can contact me or email techjunkie(a)standardmedia.co.ke Regards -- Twitter: @LarryMadowo Facebook.com/LarryMadowo

Skunkworks | Step back, Think
by [ Brainiac ] 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Call me a conspiration theorist, but i feel that skunkworks is becoming more of a threat to many guys in the industry, more because as a tech community, we are able to highlight the errors that many companies have ridden on to squander innocent clients. For that role, we have succeeded with sterling marks. Im curious though, as a forum, what are the risks? just wondering..... can a really pissed company sue and enjoin everyone in the list? Does what we post on the list pose a risk of any sort. Im just wondering if a comment made agains this or that company could be used in a defamation case or something. Is it possible to have terms and conditions that explicitly state that we are discussing this in good faith, and better still, could some lawyer skunk advise if it is possible to have, in the terms and conditions something that basically makes us immune to unneccessary litigation? -- Posted on 100% recycled electrons

Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum - Announcement
by Michuki Mwangi 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

<Apologies for Cross posting> INTERNET SOCIETY FORUM TO ENABLE AFRICAN INTERNET LEADERS UNLOCK THE CONTINENT'S POTENTIAL New regional community to address key interconnection opportunities and challenges in Africa [Nairobi, Kenya, 15 June 2010] - The Internet Society (ISOC), today announced the launch of the African Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF), established to help address the operational, regulatory, and business challenges facing the growing African Internet industry. Organized by the Internet Society, in partnership with the Telecommunications Service Providers Association of Kenya (TESPOK), the inaugural meeting of the forum, entitled "Unlocking Africa's Regional Interconnection", will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 11-12 August 2010 and is expected to attract some of Africa's key business leaders, technical experts, policy makers, and infrastructure builders. Until now, Internet growth in the region has been slow, hampered by poor infrastructure and low levels of investment. But the signs of change are now on the horizon. "To date, gradual, ongoing policy and regulatory changes have made a positive impact on the region, where we are seeing many new opportunities for regional and global connectivity," said Michuki Mwangi, Regional Development Manager for Africa at the Internet Society, and recipient of the 2010 African Network Operators Group (AfNOG) Network Information Infrastructure award. "Supporting the recent momentum in Africa by facilitating these positive discussions plays a vital role in delivering against one of the Internet Society's key strategic initiatives; enabling access in emerging markets," added Mwangi. "Africa has also seen major investments in submarine cables, terrestrial fiber infrastructures, and mobile and wireless data technologies, all of which are addressing some of the challenges that previously restricted Internet growth in the region." Critically, the new infrastructure developments create the opportunity for much higher levels of local and regional interconnection. This exerts a multiplier effect on the economic and technical performance of regional networks, as well as opening the door to higher levels of local content production, all of which are necessary elements in enabling Internet access to Africans across the continent. The African Peering and Interconnection Forum will create a regional community to address the key cross-border Interconnection opportunities and challenges in Africa and discuss global and regional insights on maximizing regional development. In addition to local and regional support provided by TESPOK, the event has received international sponsorship from expert organisations including the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX), the Deutscher Commercial Internet Exchange (DE-CIX), the German Internet exchange, and Netnod, the Swedish Internet exchange provider, For more information, details about sponsorship opportunities, and to register for this event, see: https://www.isoc.org/isoc/conferences/africanforum2010/ About the Internet Society The Internet Society (ISOC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1992 to provide leadership in Internet related standards, education, and policy. ISOC is the organizational home of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Internet's premier technical standards body. With offices in Washington, D.C., and Geneva, Switzerland, it is dedicated to ensuring the open development, evolution, and use of the Internet for the benefit of people throughout the world.

HTML5 overview video
by saidimu apale 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Here's a great overview of HTML5 and what is coming soon to browsers (and already here in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Chrome Frame for IE folks). It is a long-ish video (50 minutes) but it is worth the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdDc7sWjCL4&feature=channel The future of the web is *really* exciting. The present is app-based (a la App store) but the future likely will be webapp-based. Saidi PS On a related note: it is funny watching font makers go thro' the same script record labels and hollywood studios went thro' 10 years ago. Those who don't learn from history are assuredly cursed to re-invent it: http://goo.gl/k2k1 PPS It is quite amazing to note that IE has had @font-face support for over 10 years (!!)

Safaricom's Innovation Forum Terms & Conditions
by Al Kags 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Skunks: Have you seen Safaricom Innovation Forum Terms and Conditions - http://safaricom.co.ke/innovation/terms.jsp? I am so disturbed by it. It is in my view grossly unfair and wrong. What happens if your innovation is the next money maker? Safaricom has no obligation to work with you and you relinquish your right to benefit from it long term. This can not be right. I am no lawyer, but this can not be right. For ease of reference, please see below and particularly note the first two items: Terms of Idea Submission By Submitting your proposal to Safaricom, you agree: (a) That the submissions and its contents will automatically become the property of Safaricom, without any compensation whatsoever to you; (b) That Safaricom may use or redistribute the submissions and their contents for any purpose and in any way; (c) There is no obligation for Safaricom to review the submission; (d) That there is no obligation on Safaricom to keep any submissions confidential or proprietary. (e) That Safaricom's receipt of the unsolicited idea/proposal does not imply a promise to pay nor a recognition of the novelty or originality of the idea/proposal nor does it establish a relationship which might require Safaricom to pay for the evaluation of the information disclosed in the idea/proposal. (f) That Safaricom accepts no liability whatsoever in receiving any unsolicited ideas/proposals including for any disclosure of the same. (g) That Safaricom shall be fully indemnified from any legal and or other claims made by any third party with regard to the form or substance of any unsolicited idea/proposal submitted to Safaricom. (h) That the any use of Safaricom's intellectual property in the unsolicited idea/proposal has been done without the express consent of Safaricom and shall at all times remain the property of Safaricom and Safaricom does not waive any rights with regard to the ownership and use of its intellectual property. (i) That you acknowledge that similar ideas/proposals may have been submitted to Safaricom and the submitter shall irrevocably waive all rights to institute any legal or other actions against Safaricom with respect to any act or omission on its part related to the idea/proposal. (j) That Safaricom reserves the right to decline any meeting invitation or submission given to it including the submitter's without assigning any reason thereof. (k) That should Safaricom choose to discuss any/idea proposal further then such discussion will be on a "without prejudice" basis and subject to contract. <http://safaricom.co.ke/innovation/terms.jsp> Al Kags ----------------------- Author, Living Memories. “IF THERE IS SUCH A THING AS Kenya, these stories belong to us all, just as the pictures in Kenya Burning document the trauma of a nation during the post-election violence.

Interesting offer but I have the following questions: 1. What happens if one has an internet bundle currently active? 2. Is it really UNLIMITED internet download capacity? 3. This blog says it's for mobile phones only: http://blog.majibu.com/safaricoms-new-offer-8-shillings-a-day-unlimited-int… 4. Someone told me they signed up for it, *544# but they were charged about KSH.12 for something they downloaded: However the person didn't get a notification on whether they had successfully registered, so ... o_O?

Re: [Skunkworks] Entrepreneurs- Details
by Joram Mwinamo 21 Jun '10

Thanks for all the many enquiries on and offlist Ok I guess the number of open requests warrant me the permission to post the details here? Here goes WYLDE(the company I run, and yes im a techie doing Organisation Development :-) ) has in the last few years worked with various Kenyan business owners. During that time, we have picked up valuable insights into the workings of Kenyan companies and why many seem to get stuck and not grow beyond a certain level into a great institution. For example, · Why are kenyan businesses not innovative? · What are the stages a succesful company needs to go through to grow into a formidable institution? · What are the implications of this growth for the business owner? How can I as a business owner build this kind of company? In addition you also get to meet other business owners from diverse industries and learn how an organisation can move from being a small enterprise to a global enterprise. The breakfast launch details are below, after which you can decide if you want to sign up for the program Venue: Gracia Gardens , End of Dennis Pritt Road past St Georges Primary School Time: 8.00 am to 10.00 Am Cost : Ksh 2000 Breakfast included. Date: 29th June 2010 Please come with many business cards and ready to network. Payment are to be made by Tuesday 21st (oops sorry for the short notice i actually didnt know skunks would be this interested in this program).Due to the success of the first Greatness Business Club, we only have limited spaces available so please confirm participation. No tickets will be sold at the door. Also feel free to forward this email to any interested people who you think would benefit from this program.

Hello, my name is $name, how may i help you? Brainiac: My name is collins, im calling from kilifi, and i cant connect to the Internet on your butterfly service. $name : mmmmh, collins, lemme gather some information so that i can be able to help you. $name: What is the nature of your problem? Brainiac: My nanostation is not getting an IP address on the WAN side, I suspect your DHCP server is down. $name: *mmmh , what IP address are you getting on your machine? AAAAH?* Brainiac : Its reverting to the default DHCP fallback IP. Its not getting assigned an IP. $name: ( a bit agitated) what ip address is that? Brainiac: well, its 192.168.1.20 $name: mmh, there seem to be a problem there, its meant to get you an ip address in the range of 10.100.X.X Brainiac: Yeah, would you know if there is a problem on this particular node? $name: Well, there was a problem last week, but i am meant to understand it was resolved. Do you mind holding for a moment i confirm? $name: sure, just dont disconnect me. ........ ........ ....... Brainiac: Hello , ..... hello.... $name: Hi, yeah, im from speaking to the Engineers, they tell me the node is fine, connections are working. Brainiac: Ok, which IP addresses are being assigned? $name: just a sec: $name: Well collins, I cannot give you the IP addresses being assigned because it is not meant to work that way, you are supposed to connect automatically and it picks your IPs and then you are fine. Brainiac: Could you give me a sample of an active lease, at least so that i know the IP address range and gateway so that i just hard code it? $name: You cant do that. Brainiac: So what im i supposed to do? $name: Well, gimme a sec. ..... ..... .... $name: (speaking in a conspiratorial tone), Ok i have managed to get these for you, but we are not supposed to do this. In fact what i would recommend is you look for someone in kilifi using our service and checking the ip adress and then copying to your machine. Brainiac: k, so whats the IP addresses youve gotten for me: $name: its 10.172.*.* $name: Enter that and restart. Brainiac: Ok, whats the netmask? $name: it will pick automagically once you enter the ip. Brainiac: And whats the gateway and DNS address? $name: [My favourite], those ones we dont use. The IP address is enough. I Literally turned RED. -- Posted on 100% recycled electrons

HUAWEI MODEM E160 UNLOCKING
by Charles Mwangi 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi guys, To all of you who own a locked huawei modem, good news is that you can unlock it today free of charge To unlock your modem post your modem IMEI in this thread I will generate the unique unlock key from the provided IMEI (only for today) Then put a different network subscriber sim card other than the one its locked to you will get a prompt asking you for network unlock key. Key in the unlock digits and presto your modem is now unlocked. You can thereafter use any subscriber sim of your choice. Remember to go to tools menu, options, then profile management and create an entry that corresponds to your preferred network operator. actually the only parameter u need to change for the different providers is the APN Enjoy and regards, Charles.

Hi Skunks, I have a Sony Ericsson phone with Opera Mini installed. Problem is, when I use it to browse the Internet, it keeps giving me my credit/airtime balance and how much I've spent after every 20 or so seconds, much like the way Zain shows me my balance after I make a call or send a text. This is really annoying coz I have to keep gettingthese alerts. When I use Snaptu or the phone's inbuilt internet application, I don't get these prompts. I tried disabling that feature in my internet settings but it didn't work. Please help!

Legistlation that could clamp down on internet file sharing and dvd piracy
by Kevin Ouma 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Skunks, Since Spring 2008, the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Australia as well as a few other countries have been secretly negotiating a *trade agreement aimed at enforcing copyright and tackling counterfeited goods* (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). Specifically, leaked documents show that one of the major goal of the treaty is to force signatory countries into implementing anti file-sharing policies under the form of *three-strikes schemes and net filtering practices*. At a time when important debates are taking place on the need to adapt copyright to the digital age, this treaty would *bypass democratic processes * in order to enforce a fundamentally irrelevant regulatory regime. It would profoundly *alter the very nature of the Internet* as we know it by putting an end to Net neutrality <https://www.laquadrature.net/Net_neutrality>. See the most interesting provisions<http://www.laquadrature.net/files/201001_acta.pdf>under discussions . What are your thoughts Kevin

How technology can preserve the history of a nation?
by aki 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Whether history was bad or good, that information needs to be preserved. I remember visting places like Goree Island in Senegal or now in SA where things were terrible. I visited a place in cape town that was a former prison during the late 1900's and you cannot imagine how freaky things were. You guys cannot even understand the impact of what really happened if you have not visited such places. I hope someone out there in KE is going to build the next project on kenyan history and make this information a part of the national archives, including the infamous chambers at nyayo house and the rest. The future generations need to understand why it is important never to go back to such days. Germany has been trying for many years to wipe its record of the WW2 times and newer generations want to dis-associate themselves from such things. When I travelled to Munich a few year back, I got a chance to see the Dacau camp, the tower bells and the rest. The preserved documentation and the writing on the walls by prisoners provided an horrific insight into what took place. Me amatuer thots. Post soon. Rgds.

Overhead Fibre links AKA ....... JTL and Zuku
by Moses Ngatia 18 Jun '10

Skunks, Whats your take on overhead fibre in Kenya as compared to Underground/terrestrial. My reason for asking is that, its (overhead) passing by my business premises, but the way its laid, I better stick to my Wimax with 99.3% uptime. MAJOR CONCERN BEING: There is oil siphoning from life KPLC transformers, why can't any one cut and pull this fibre cables for over a kilometer stretch at night? AND PLEASE DONT TELL ME THAT THE FIBRE PLUS ALUMINUM PROTECTION HAS NO VALUE.

Re: [Skunkworks] Project Gamut .. incase someone didn't see this
by [watchman] 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Prince and Princesses of Skunkworks! If anyone has followed my messages in the past few years.. [Creepy but flattering ;) ], i believe it would be clear that i'm involved with voluntary work. As part of this year's humanitarian effort, i've been requested by a non mentionable firm to assist with the fund raising. Since i'm not and have not been a fan of the Harambee's. As a way for me to raise funds, i run promo's or over the past year or so, i've been doing shoots. With this year, i've proposed a two phase project for this initiative. The first phase of the Project starts with photography. The photography will be explicitly to capture people's expressions and will lead on to the organization having the images for sale in form of a book within two months or less. the second Phase will be donating the proceeds of the collected tech goods sales i would like to host. Not sure where to hold the sale so, if anyone knows where i can host the sale, and if people would like to join in with the sale as well, i can facilitate the selling with your price and profits go the the fund raising ;D ( Great way to get old stuff out ) In any case, as always, i'd like to ask the group for help :D Any help will be well received. 1. Volunteers who will pay to have their expressive shot's taken ( Donations can vary with a min of 500.00 Ksh ) to any amount payable. 2. People to spread the word about project Gamut. 3. Planning and logistics assistance 4. Any admin assistance, positive reinforcement and moral support also welcome with ideas :D -- watchman

Minimum Connection Speeds

Skunkers I have a feeling that in this day and age no one should by a connection speed of less than 512 Kbps especially in the urban areas.

First, for taking too long to get back to you (and putting up with my work tweets). Due to the nature of my job, I asked a friend to take my Mac to Elite. I now gather, he contracted yet another friend to do so. The name you should probably be looking for is Shem. Anyway, after much threatening and begging, I gather it was not in the books. I think he's got a deal with someone at Elite or something so it may not have a tracking number because they didn't intend it to. I need to figure this out from my end. Though the machine was brought there, it was not totally above board so at this point, you bear no blame My sincerest apologies for dragging Elite's name in this, especially in public.

Project Gamut
by [watchman] 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Prince and Princesses of Skunkworks! If anyone has followed my messages in the past few years.. [Creepy but flattering ;) ], i believe it would be clear that i'm involved with voluntary work. As part of this year's humanitarian effort, i've been requested by a non mentionable firm to assist with the fund raising. Since i'm not and have not been a fan of the Harambee's. As a way for me to raise funds, i run promo's or over the past year or so, i've been doing shoots. With this year, i've proposed a two phase project for this initiative. The first phase of the Project starts with photography. The photography will be explicitly to capture people's expressions and will lead on to the organization having the images for sale in form of a book within two months or less. the second Phase will be donating the proceeds of the collected tech goods sales i would like to host. Not sure where to hold the sale so, if anyone knows where i can host the sale, and if people would like to join in with the sale as well, i can facilitate the selling with your price and profits go the the fund raising ;D ( Great way to get old stuff out ) In any case, as always, i'd like to ask the group for help :D Any help will be well received. 1. Volunteers who will pay to have their expressive shot's taken ( Donations can vary with a min of 500.00 Ksh ) to any amount payable. 2. People to spread the word about project Gamut. 3. Planning and logistics assistance 4. Any admin assistance, positive reinforcement and moral support also welcome with ideas :D -- watchman

In the bus were what i'd say ruthless modern colonizers,our driver (MOA Compliant) was next to a car that had been arrested and in the process of overtaking the stationed car,a bus carrying GSU was overtaking,so he stopped,to give way to this 'government' .To our shock, one of them romoved a rungu through the window and aimed at our driver,smashed the screen n missed the driver by a whisker....all this happened as police watched.. +++++ ===== Justice guys is needed Kwani are this the chokoras we cleared from the city yrs ago?

Hi Larry, I'm sorry about the escalation of events. Frank and Solomon are correct, this is an open forum, and you did not target me directly, feel free with the forum, it does not have any restrictions to ranting or venting, i'd be more than happy to address any Elite related issues on the forum openly as i have done in the past, i would appreciate your honesty and for that matter anyone who's had an issue with Elite in the past, please bring the queries forward, i'll take them up with the correct individuals within the organization. With that in mind, please let me know ( on the forum ) what the issue was and how it went from bad to worse. Rahim.

#140conf | Sat 19th June 2010 | 0830-1230hrs | NaiLab, 4th Floor, Bishop Magua Centre | Ngong RD, Nairobi
by Phares Kariuki 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

The real-time internet has and will continue to cause disruptive shifts in our lifestyles. Not only is it affecting how business is being conducted, it has also greatly impacted day to day processes and communication. Recent disaster reporting and resultant humanitarian missions have been centred along the real-time internet as in the case of the Haiti and Chile earthquakes and the post election crises in Kenya.The real-time web has exponentially democratised information production and consumption. During the Iranian election crises, the world was informed of the happenings in Iran and vice-versa despite an information blackout imposed by the ruling elite. The web is inherently social, and the real-time web connects like minded people in an instant. The Obama campaign was pretty much influences and energised by the real-time web. At this #140conf meetup we'll have some of Kenya's leading faces on the real-time web enlightening us and exchanging ideas on how we can add value to our country via the real-time web. The theme for this meetup is 'Social Causes on The Real Time Web' and will feature leading social media gurus in the .ke scene such as Juliana Rotich (@afromusing), Paula Kahumbu (@paulakahumbu), Marvin Tumbo (@marvintumbo) and Victor Ngeny (@ngeny). It'll definitely be a great networking and idea sharing forum Online Registration - http://www.meetup.com/140conf/calendar/13682521/ -- Regards, Phares

PHD Researchers for Computing Sciences
by Theus Owicho 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

*Faculty of Science* The Faculty of Science consists of six departments: Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Information and Computing Sciences, Physics and Astronomy, Chemistry and Mathematics. The Faculty is home to 3500 students and nearly 2000 staff and is internationally renowned for the quality of its research. The Faculty's academic programmes reflect developments in today's society. * Job description* In the financial services domain, large monoliths of software products are used to control all financial flows in any type of organization. Software monoliths have several well-known disadvantages, recognized by both the vendors and customers of these software products. Examples of these disadvantages are inflexibility, domain unspecificity, and the fact that these systems tend to be hard to maintain. Both vendors and customers of these systems are perfectly aware that better and cheaper customer specific solutions can be created along the service-oriented paradigm. It is non-trivial, however, for vendors of monoliths to chop up their product into complete, secure, deployable, and useful services to be reused in service configurations. This project aims to extract large numbers of services from monolithic products and open source components in the financial services domain using the Service Extraction Process. Fortunately, several platforms and service markets recently have become available, Sales force being one example, in which services can be published, managed, and most importantly composed. These service platforms have a bootstrapping problem in that they do not contain many services to begin with. A significant side effect of this project is that the creation of large numbers of services can solve the bootstrapping problem, since they can be used to populate service-providing platforms, e.g., Sales force. The concrete research questions the candidates will address are the following: Q1: How can we identify useful services within a large body of code? Q2: To which extent can we automate the extraction, conversion, and deployment of services? Q3: Can we do this in a way that is programming language independent? Please be aware that we are looking for candidates with distinct profiles. The * first candidate * will have a master's degree in information or computer science and will specialize in requirements engineering, pattern identification, empirical software engineering and service-based engineering. Furthermore, the student will have a strong background in programming languages and some programming experience. The * second candidate * has a more technical, computer science background, most likely software technology with a focus on compilers and software analysis. Candidates that fit both profiles are particularly invited to apply. The first candidate will work in close cooperation with our industrial partners DBS, Runbook, Yuki, Yunoo, and 42Windmills.com and spend quite some time in these industrial environments, extracting requirements and patterns, and validating the implementation provided by the second candidate. Research will follow an industry-as-laboratory style, meaning that actual research problems are drawn from industry and that researched solutions are tried out immediately in the industrial context. *Qualifications* - Master's degree in computer science, information science or informatics. - Broad experience and interest in the area of software engineering and requirements engineering. - Good communicator, strong social skills, team player. - Independent working style. - A good knowledge of English is an absolute must. *Terms of employment*The candidates are offered a full-time position for 4 years. Salary is in the range between € 2,042 and maximum € 2,612 gross per month. The salary is supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and an end-of-year bonus of 8,3% per year. In addition we offer: a pension scheme, a partially paid parental leave, flexible employment conditions. Conditions are based on the Collective Labour Agreement Dutch Universities. For more information we refer to our website about employment conditions<http://www.uu.nl/EN/informationfor/jobseekers/Working-for-Utrecht-Universit…> . The research group will provide the candidates with necessary support on all aspects of the project. *Further details*Additional information about the vacancy can be obtained from: Slinger Jansen (slinger.jansen(a)cs.uu.nl) and Jurriaan Hage ( jur(a)cs.uu.nl) As part of the selection procedure, the candidate is expected to give an outline of his/her research plans in a written report and an oral presentation. *How to apply* When applying, make sure to include (pdf versions of): - A detailed resume (with publications, if you have any) - A motivational letter referring to both or a particular one of the open positions (maximum 3 pages) - Copies of marks and degrees/certificates - A list of two references that we can contact - Your MSc thesis Please send your application before *June 27, 2010* to email address: Science.PenO(a)uu.nl. Please mention vacancy number *64005*. SOURCE; *http://bit.ly/cFS6KE*

WHAT IS WRONG WITH DSTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Ken Teyie 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

IF at all DSTV anticipated a surge in subscriber numbers in the run up to the world cup, they should have upgraded their systems. DSTV is suddenly behaving badly. They wont upgrade bouquets to premium on time, ATI their systems are down. There have been LONG queues at their Westlands offices with guys complaining about being shortchanged. WTF!!!!!!! :( They've already pocketed the money :( and we need to watch the world cup that's why we paid a hefty $80 when we could have watched the games for free on KBC...... Somebody from DSTV upgrade my account number 42081886 to premium. I have already filled that silly form. its now 72 hours. Anybody experiencing the same problem? -- KT, M: +254 722 28 98 04 www.teyie.com “When you are busy making excuses, you are not making money, making friends, or making the world a better place.

And probably the last event of such a scale ever to be held on the continent. Hope you will not miss out. All I can tell you is that South Africa have done everyone proud on the continent, they have matched/exceeded past expectations. Am on some work assignment and got a chance to peep slightly... World Class to say the least. A Happy World Cup to all and Bafana Bafana kick off the tournament today! A few days ago I saw the sky daredevils testing flying formations, including some air-force jets screaming past with the sonic boom...Don't miss the opening ceremony. I know I'll be watching on TV. :-))
