@skunks, Check this out... http://www.nation.co.ke/News/Man%20in%20court%20over%20MPesa%20fraud/-/1056… am baffled at how this could have happened. Any one with a "HOWTO" on this?

Disaster Recovery Options?
by Jared Koyier 03 May '10

03 May '10

A friend is exploring two options for a DR site, one option is to purchase two virtual servers at a monthly cost of 100k and while the other is to purchase one hardware server@ an initial cost of 400k,VM Licence & rack space at a monthly cost of 65K. Questions; What are the Microsoft licensing implication of either of the strategies? What would be your preferred choice? In the long run is it worth purchasing a Virtual server or a hardware server?

TRENDY DESKTOP - HOW KENYANS TWEET: THE TOP TWITTER CLIENTS
by Jacob Ayienda 03 May '10

03 May '10

HOW KENYANS TWEET: THE TOP TWITTER CLIENTS I looked at 6,500 tweets and found more than 55 different ways in which kenyans interact with the Twitter. Some of the results, which follow below, were rather surprising. I used the Twittter API to monitor public feeds from Kenyan locality over a 24hr period. The tweets were cumulatively collected for 24hr period using Trendy Desktop. THE RESULTS WERE AS FOLLOWS 1. twitter - 59% ... 33% are from m.twitter.com 2. snaptu - 15% 3. dabr - 7% 4. apiwiki - 7% 5. ubertwitter - 3% 6. hootsuite - 3% 7. twitpic - 2% 8. mobileways - 1% others were identi, mobileways, facebook it would appear that majority of the users access twitter via their mobile phones...directly through the web and others through apps. Most of this data will be accesible via the next release of Trendy Desktop likely coming out next week...

Blacklisted mail servers

Hi guys, I've been receiving complaints lately from my users about messages not getting to them and on investigating, I have found that a number of local ISPs have blacklisted mail servers. Is it just me or is it common among admins on the list? I have configured my mail server to reject messages relayed by mailservers blacklisted by spamcop, spamhaus and barracuda and respond with a message explaining that action. Now this has got me wondering whether I have made my security settings too tight or what... Is that too drastic a security measure that I have taken? Me.

Safaricom modem nuisance
by Simon Mbuthia 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Hey guys, I have a problem over here. Some of my staff aren't supposed to be on the net. So I have denied them access. But one lady has a Safaricom modem and she is browsing. I have disabled the DHCP clinet service, as well as the RasMan service, but somehow the modem still works. I do not have one myself to use in auditing the connection process, so I'd like to request the list/skunkters for advise on how I can effectively cripple these troublesome gizmos. My apologies to Safaricom (and prolly Zain and Orange listers) for denying you biashara :-( Thanks. Me.

Linux Failover
by i.G 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Skunks/ettes, Good evening. Has any of you implemented failover on linux. The setup is as follows, I have a linux box running a redhat distro..or any other distro, 3 network cards. One network card is the LAN IP say 192.168.1.1, the other 2 connect to the ISP..failover is between the 2 ISP links. How do you track such that you use ISP A and failover to ISP B when A has a problem. Please note I don't want to load balance, Only one link at a time should be used. Looking forward to your responses. Kind regards, George.

Bytes for the week : 32bit or 64bit computing?
by aki 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Been looking at various advantages and disadvantages of 64bit over 32bit. For example, on Windows machines, one key area that helps is RAM that can be pushed to 128GB removing the 4GB barrier that exists on 32bit. 64bit applications availability maybe an issue but anyone who has used say eg a MAC can relate to this better. Anyone using 64bit on this list. How has the performance been on running 32bit applications like broswers, office tools, games? Rgds.

MTN Buying Orascom
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

Consolidation underway as many predicted. ----- Last Week MTN in talks to buy Orascom operations - report Friday 23 April 2010 | 08:28 AM CET Middle East and Africa mobile operator MTN has approached banks for USD 5 billion to help fund the possible acquisition of at least four units from Orascom Telecom, reports Bloomberg citing three people familiar with plan. The acquisition may include Orascom's activities in Egypt, Algeria, Zimbabwe and Tunisia, and the total transaction might be worth as much as USD 10 billion, said two sources, who did not want to be identified because the talks were private. The fourth source familiar with the plan said talks were still at an early stage and might not lead to a transaction. Separately the Financial Times reported on similar talks, saying MTN is considering buying most of Orascom's African assets, including Algeria, Tunisia, Burundi, Central African Republic, Namibia and Zimbabwe. However it's not interested in the the minority stake in Egyptian operator Mobinil. MTN declined to comment. Today ..... http://in.reuters.com/article/technology-media-telco-SP/idINLDE63Q2GQ201004…

Whom do you support” seems to be the question that every soccer fan asks the other. But for no other reason than entertainment value, the strange presence of the English Premier League in the African consciousness is a fun place to start.About 20,000 Kenyans take advantage of a rare chance to see their football heroes ...in action as Manchester United play Arsenal in a league match..........

Debugging the USSD myth : An open discussion to Developers, Telco network engineers
by aki 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

It's interesting what basic research into a subject does to open up your mind to ideas/facts. What I discovered is the wrong impression being created about this service. Here are a couple of pointers, corrections welcome : 1) To deal with any Telco you will need to be a licensed provider. There are 2 categories, Application or Content Service provider. 2) You need to partner and not compete with a Telco. 3) If you are serious about your social networks sites/applications and want to develop into a commercial service, Point 1 above applies. Without it, you can only live on the internet as a blog or website and it can be only that. It is a fact the Content developers like Mobile Planet, Cellulant and others are dealing with Telcos. Cellulant am sure is partnering with Safaricom on content and has USSD access. In 2008/09 it was selected a top SME performer with an annual turnover of almost 1million USD. Cellulant is registered with CCK as a VAS. ( correction needed ). I recently remember reading an article that AT&T mobile was, until recently, restricting voip services over its mobile network. There are many telcos who do not even allow instant messenger. We are so luck in kenya that we do not face such problems so why in the world would you want to develop an application that seeks to take business away from a Telco? What does it mean to upcoming and established application/web and mobile developers seeking to go commercial? As long as your approach is without any legal entity, you will find it impossible to get anywhere. But we all know these things are expensive and no one can go solo. I'd like to suggest that you come together as a community and register as a VAS /Application/Content provider company. This will create a level of trust in the market, especially if you are listed in the CCK licenses/site as a provider. You can bypass any middle persons since you develop the applications/sites yourself and I'm sure Telcos will find it very interesting to deal with you as an entity. There is no guarantee that this will work or whether a telco will even deal with you, but I see it as a logical step towards moving away from the grey and un-registered internet and into the real commercial world where you are respected as an entity of professionals that you are. I hope this helps those who are seeking to expand and get established. I'm outt here, ciao! :-)

Any one else got this notice? --- *Subject:* FW: Fault on Major International Gateway Dear Client, We’ve received communication from our backbone providers, *TEAMS* and*Seacom *, that there currently is a fault with the *South East Asia-Middle-West Europe 4* *(SMW4)* cable used to connect our internet communication into Europe, North and South America (SMW4) between Alexandria & Marseilles. This requires urgent maintenance by SMW4 consortium to be carried out *between 24th *April 2010* and 28th *April 2010 During the maintenance the ship has to locate the cable, make the adjustment and drop it back into sea. As all ship related work is highly dependent on the environment (Wind, Rain, Snow etc.) there may be deviation from the above planned maintenance window. *Map of SEA-ME-WE-4 Fibre Undersea Cable* Throughout this exercise, there will be disruption of *Internet traffic for the entire East Africa region*. Please find below the details of the maintenance exercise: *Date:* Saturday 24th April to Wednesday 28th April 2010 *Time:* 0700 UTC/GMT *1000hrs (Local time)* *Service Outage:* Significantly slow speeds and latencies during the entire maintenance period

I am thinking someone could make a lot of money launching a tour operator that carters for geeks, I suspect many on this list would jump at the chance for a trip to the Mediterranean to watch the cable being extracted and repaired. -- Pamoja e:daudi.were@gmail.com <e%3Adaudi.were(a)gmail.com> skype: d.were

Fwd: PBS Development Videos
by Theus Owicho 23 Apr '10

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Date: Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 2:42 PM Subject: Re: PBS Development Videos To: I received this email. Please get back to me as soon as you can. Thanks Chifu New York City From: Landon Van Soest <landon@xxxxx> Date: Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 5:28 PM Subject: PBS Development Videos I am the director of Good Fortune, a feature documentary about the challenges of large-scale international development in Kenya. The film has won several awards and will have it's broadcast premiere in primetime this summer on PBS. You can see more about the film here: http://www.pbs.org/pov/goodfortune/ and here: http://www.goodfortunefilm.com I recently received support to produce a series of short videos that delve deeper into the challenges of international development and highlight the work of more effective development efforts. We've had a great response to the project so far, and are coordinating efforts with POV (the strand of PBS airing the film), Link TV, viewchange.org, and the Center for Global Development. I would love the opportunity to shoot a brief interview with you (approx. 30 minutes) for the project. Good Fortune goes into the politicization of a UN sponsored slum-upgrading project in Kibera, Nairobi and follows a resident of Kibera through the fateful 2007 elections crisis, so I would love to get your unique perspective on the role of local government in international development efforts. The ultimate goal of the videos is to give viewers a more effective, informed way to get involved in development, and I would love to hear about an organization that you consider to be exemplary. I will be traveling to East Africa at the end of May and will have to opportunity to shoot a short profile of an organization of your choosing. Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to speaking with you soon. Landon Van Soest ----- Landon Van Soest Transient Pictures 250 W 49th Street, Suite 805 New York, NY 10019

Debugging the USSD myth : An open discussion to Developers, Telco network engineers
by aki 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

I'm going to use up next weeks bytes and put this thread forward. I hope it will generate interesting thots. The assumption made is that you understand the USSD service offered by telcos, if not just google it and there are many explanations. My question is, what are telcos being accused of not providing? Do they not provide USSD paid numbers to use or access to network resources? Because if one wants a USSD service, they do not need to develop any mobile app as all the services are called from the ussd gateway. If I attempt to compare the USSD facility from a network design scenario, it is the equivalent of saying that Aki wants to create a separate Internet Service where I have my own backbone and only need the Telco network to provide me a number that users will dial. This number will be routed to my IP gateway which will not use the Telco gateway for internet services. The IP gateway can sit at the telco premises or on any tiered network. Hurray! If this was possible, I'd have beaten some telcos to it by providing a well balanced service and created my own tariffs. This situation is also similar to an MVNO. But MVNO costs BIG money, ask Virgin Mobile. So in my small attempt to get deeper into this USSD issues, if you have been developing along those lines, please do share your vital thoughts.

Re: [Skunkworks] Bytes for the week : 32bit or 64bit computing?

>From a developer's perspective: The applications that benefit most are memory-bound applications because of the increase in RAM and a larger Memory Bus (path between processor and RAM). The larger Memory Bus can handle twice the amount of data. (64 vrs 32). A processor-bound application can still benefit and this leads to another topic... The software developer may have to tweek the application to take advantage of 64 bit. The tweeks are low-level and one has to be using C/C++/Assembly. Anyway if one is not using these languages then performance is not an issue in whatever they're developing therefore no need to worry about 64/32bit. Benchmarking an un-tweeked application between 32bit and 64bit may not show increased performance. Moreover, an increase in performance might not really be because the processor is 64bit, but might be because of new features introduced in the 64bit processor. --- On Thu, 4/22/10, Alvin Jason Ochieng <ajochola(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: Alvin Jason Ochieng <ajochola(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Bytes for the week : 32bit or 64bit computing?

You could download the sata drivers and load them with an external floppy drive as you install xp. Its old school but it works. But its easier to get a cd/dvd with sata drivers. Many torrent files are available for the same. Alternatively get a xp disk from another hp computer that has sata. The nitty gritty you can sort out later. (it worked for me on a dell) Or if you feel geeky enough, create your own bootable cd with the sata drivers in it!

I have noticed the main reason why the courts are always accused of dismissing cases for lack of evidence. The police do not do shoddy investigation, they just don't do anything. I have seen a case where the police have been called to a scene of a shop breaking and the owners were very careful not to touch anything in case they jeopardize the investigation. When the police finally came, they asked the shop owner if he has any suspects and then left the scene promising to look for the stolen merchandise. They did not even try dusting the scene.

OT : Just a side line comment

I'm off to twitter where I can communicate more on issues but will still contribute to our skunks list. Yesterday was Mobile Monday and I read the brief on it, a bit disappointing because the level of involvement by mobile developers ( besides the very few who are known ) is not much. Though I have nothing against sms and the rest, seems there is nothing much going on in the industry besides the nice business meets and presentations which are more to help develop business contacts than actual results. The problem is businesses do not generate code, in its simplest form. I've asked plenty of times on this list for mobi devs to contribute their thots and ideas but never heard much. There was a very brief discussion on NDA's when Alex was around but it never went forth. The net is an interesting place, the last place I ever wanted to be is on twitter but if it helps to know how and meet those in the industries, it makes sense. There is much potential and inspiration in Kenya on many technology platforms yet we are still stuck comparing mpesa. So for the time being, I've deeply appreciate the chance to have been on this list while sharing some insights into the net world etc. Catchup later and good luck all. KE rocks ! :-) @lawrence, glad that you escaped your incident shaken but safe. Poolay sana.

I mean look at all the hype before the Ipad launch, then the new 4G iPhone ( if its true ) is found lying in a Bar?? how convenient that Gizmodo gets a hold of it and not a guy who would sell it at 100 bob in river road ... I believe Apple had the whole thing worked out .. its called testing waters before you take a dip ... they are just the best ... it was meant to be launched in June now there is enough time to build anxiety and first day sales will be in Hundreds of thousands ... -- Watson wanjohi kambo

A dark afternoon...
by Lawrence Kago 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Thursday afternoon,a friend calls me and asks me to drive his car to a Garage. I had to connect from Langata to D.Corner,the shortest route was the new By-pass...which i never knew was a no go Zone. >From Langata on the by-pass you can see Kibera very well,i drove along it and met a black car that was driving into my direction,on seeing me the car turned and slowed down to pick someone,i was happy to get company(just in-case the car sticks in the mud)..The driver of the black small station Wagon(Older versions of Vitz /Daihatsu charade) waved at me and told me lets go(Judas).I drove 100m and he was lost,i slowed down but couldn't see him anywhere..n i decided to drive on. I passed groups of people who never looked suspicious or even give a look that am on a dangerous zone..2-3 Kms from where i lost Kibera sight,i saw some pot holes full of water and had to slow down..5 guys came from the bush armed with stones and one of them pointed a gun to me(the thought of a bullet missing/hitting me is still vivid in my mind ,as if it happened),i thought of reversing the car,or run over them,but too late....I got hold of an envelope which contained cash(good amount) and threw it under co-drivers sit.the surrendered with hands up,and got out of the car(1st thought,the car is gone n 2nd,human trafficking)..they searched me everywhere n found 150bob(which i think would have angered them even more).They then ordered me into the boot of the car and was told to "lye flat like a fulls-cap" n lying down i did,poured some water on me as the car was being driven,asked me for my ATM and the pin,all along i thought we were headed to the Bank..one guy on the backseat started on me,"where is the Money" i was given some serious blows on the head in order to speak..he then asked for a gun ,but got back with a VERY sharp big looking knife..I spoke,gave out the position of the envelope ,the colour and the amount..That was a scaring moment for me."Under the co-drivers seat,a white envelope with bla bla amount"(I thought i was brave than that)...Anyway the idiots were happy but one more punch,"Why were u lying to me,where 's the rest of the money?"..but they read my honesty or were too exited on the figure turned the car. I was told,"Now its time(all along i was saying silent prayers,which i dint know if they would b the last or the most important in my life) to do what we do to the rest",toka kuja huku mbele...then they all alighted and told me to drive but not to forget to tell the Police..What a relief,my life and the car were spared..Not even a scar. I gave 2 guys a lift as i was looking for company,and they told me its good u surrendered.Pple have died on that road for doubting those guns..and 5 minutes b4 me another car was car jacked. The shock hit me when i tried to think of what would have happened,i don't think i was shaking but am sure i was now speeding the car(almost 100kph at hardy road,not very good). I only got a relief the following Morning... IF YOU CAN,AT ALL COST 1.AVOID LONELY ROAD. 2.IF U HAVE BUNCH OF MONEY,SUBDIVIDE IT. 3.AVOID DRIVING ALONE IF U CAN. 4.ASK ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE ROADS U DON'T KNOW 5...........Add to the list and circulate

New virus extorts cash from porn fans
by aki 18 Apr '10

18 Apr '10

— Christopher Null is a technology writer for Yahoo! News. A new virus is making the rounds, and this one employs a startling new tactic for making a mess out of the lives of those unfortunate enough to get infected. Known as Kenzero, the infection originated in Japan and, in its initial attack phase, is targeting users of a file-sharing service called Winni, which claims about 200 million users. When Winni customers use the site to download illegal copies of games in the adult, animated "hentai" genre, their PCs are becoming infected with the Kenzero virus, which makes a copy of their Web-browsing history and posts it online, where it is visible to the public. The Kenzero virus appears on Winni as a standard game installer, deceiving its victims. Suffice it to say that anyone who's downloading illegal hentai games — which feature extremely graphic (and conceivably illegal in the U.S., see here) sex acts — probably does not want his browsing history published to the world. After infection and the publication of the Web history, the victim is then held for ransom, and a pop-up note or email demands a relatively small financial payment (about $16) from the user in order to "settle your violation of copyright law." The BBC reports that a similar extortion attack targets European users, demanding much higher fees of $400, which is termed a "pretrial settlement." It's a very brazen way to attack users, pretending to be a law enforcement agency while also engaging in explicitly illegal extortion activities — but in a world where Web users are hopefully becoming a little more sophisticated and aware of garden-variety malware attacks, I suppose crooks have to resort to increasingly extreme measures in order to extract money from their victims. Nonetheless, remember that this attack is fundamentally no different from others. Antimalware and antivirus software should clear it up, as architecturally it is no more advanced than any other attack. In no case should you actually pay an extortionist looking for a handout: There's little assurance they will actually follow through on what they say they'll do, and giving credit card or bank account information to one of these crooks invariably opens you up for much more serious financial losses. As for any Web histories published to the Internet, well, you might just have to live with it. Call it a lesson learned.

New malware can take control of Macs, Intego warns
by aki 18 Apr '10

18 Apr '10

MAC WORLD : Lex Friedman Lex Friedman – Fri Apr 16, 12:07 pm ET Batten down the hatches! Better yet, unplug your Mac and run for the hills! Intego, purveyor of internet security and privacy software for the Mac, reports that a new variant of malware—the intimidatingly-named HellRTS—has been spotted in the vast untamed reaches of the Internet. But before you panic, let’s take stock of the facts. First, there certainly is bad news. Intego says that HellRTS—which was first discovered in 2004—recently received some nefarious upgrades: The malicious software can now open a “backdoor” to your Mac by setting up its own server on a private port, complete with a password. The software duplicates and changes its name, identifying itself as other genuine Mac software (like “iPhoto”), making it even harder to spot. The new HellRTS variant can contact remote servers, and then, Intego says, “provide direct access to [the] infected Mac.” But here’s the good news: I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance. The HellRTS.D variant isn’t out in the wild; you can only be infected if you install the rogue software. Obviously, Trojan horse-style trickery could do the trick, but there are no reports that any such Trojans exist just yet. To date, the malware is merely being exchanged on forums frequented by technological evildoers (and the virus-protection software researchers who battle them). How can you stay safe? Turn off “Open ‘safe’ files after downloading” in Safari’s preferences, and only launch or install apps from trusted sources. Or, of course, as Intego’s press release about HellRTS.D suggests, you could purchase Intego VirusBarrier X6, which can detect and scrub the nasty fellow.

Jailbreak Your iPhone 3G and 3GS - how to, simplified...
by ndungu stephen 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Previously on Prison Break... Michael: There is a current rule if you must succeed with the iPhone JailBreak Lincoln: What is that? Michael: Thou shalt not fall for those iTunes upgrades, unless you are absolutely sure the DevTeam has released the official Jailbreak for the baseband and firmware. Lincoln: Damn, I just upgraded mine to firmware 3.1.3 and baseband 05.12.01 Michael: Too bad, you cannot even downgrade the baseband 05.12.01, you just have to wait for the DevTeam to come up with the official software to deal with that baseband. Anyway, these are the instructions to Jailbreak your iPhone 3G/S with a lower baseband/firmware than the afore mentioned. Not to worry though, the keep watching the DevTeam website for later basebands. 1) download redsn0w [8, 8.2 etc] from this site - or through rapidshare / any torrent. We also have redsn0w 9, some versions of which are still beta. http://filespump.com/redsn0w-0-8-zip.html 2) carefully follow instructions on this site [ the hardest part is to play with the power and home button, you need Gaming fingers [?] ] http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/jailbreak-unlock-iphone-301/ -you will be needed to do a few downloads if you do not have the right firmware. iTunes usually automatically deletes the firmwares anytime you try to download one, I wonder why. -you can find your firmwares under this path in Vista: "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\iPhone1,2_3.XXXXX -you can google for your OS path, if its not Vista 3) once you are through, some may wonder what the instructions at the end of the above link are. One is supposed to download ultrasn0w directly using their phones. You will need internet for that, thus you must have some credit/data capability on your simcard or wi-fi. -To download ultrasnow, go to this link: ultrasn0w accomplishes the 'Prison Break' http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/download-ultrasn0w-to-unlock-iphone-3g-30/ -To add a Cydia repo, read this link. http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Adding_a_repo_to_Cydia ==== END _There are many more methods,[as you will find in links inside these same webpages] each for different versions of softwares and 'Prison Break' applications. The above method I found the easiest. have FUN !!!

N'way it goes like this.. A certain guy visited a Zoo n observed that animals in the Zoo suffered from Cancer,when released back to the Forest,they got well. He went to research the feeding habit in the Forest n on interviewing p'ple leaving around the Forest,he was observed the same trend as in the animals (Wild) ie p'ple in that village knew no cancer,but those who left to town some suffered the illness. He again narrowed to their eating habit and found a seed (APRICOT SEED) which animals n human being fed on it,took it to the lab n found it contains Vitamin B-17.. Dont ask me alot about Vitamin B-17,i don't know a lot about it,read the above articles and see what u'll understand. The guy went shouting and he was Jailed..(HOW CAN U BRING DOWN SUCH A BIG INDUSTRY AS CHEMO bla bla bla)..

My bytes for the week : " Fighting a Trojan... "
by aki 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Early Monday I got a call from a close friend who was quite freaked out about his laptop acting up. Normally I avoid such things due to time constraints and told him to get intouch with his supplier/repair person as it seemed like a virus/worm issue. He had too much stuff on his machine which was backed up but the backup drive no longer showed the default icon when plugged in and was intermittent displaying its stored data and he was willing to wait. Anyway, I got the laptop and checked it out. It was an WinXP SP3, all updated well and well looked after. The Anti-Virus was also updated. The usual online scans showed nothing while bots/malware came up with a trojan results. I looked at the results and started out on the file checks. Under windows folder there were 6 Dos files that looked unusual. They all the same name expect that their last ending word was similar to drives found on the machine. This gave me a clue that most likely a USB disk was the cause of the trojan. I also checked the system processes and a contant process kept on pushing the cpu to 30-40%. I could not trace the source of this to a known installed file/app. This process was being called from the registry and prefetch. Followed the usual steps, cleared out in safe mode etc. Done! I also cleaned the auto run file on the external drive and gave the laptop back as it was fine. ( I should have known better.... ) What started out as a cleaning exercise turned out to be something else. The laptop was back in a day! What? Further checks showed local accounts in the machine were affected and each one was running a different instance of the trojan process . There was no info online about the trojan exe files and processes because it changed name each time. More online or local scans would not pickup anything but the cpu process was acting up again. This time I cleaned the registry, system32 and statup process manually and stabilized the cpu resources. I found a few files that the trojan was attaching and removed them from each account. While working on the above, I called my friend and asked him to explain what happened i.e did he plug in any usb device etc. He loaned out his safcom modem to another friend. When he got it back, he used it to check his emails while backing up some files on the external hdd. The machine started acting up immediately. When I returned the laptop back to him, he had used it again while also using a card reader to download some files off a card. So all this was starting to make some sense. Safcom modem, ext card and ext drive are all seen as usb disks by the system. So everything pointed to USB disks. I told him to bring all the disks he had and found each one to be infected. I could not find anything on the Safcom modem. I cleaned out all the other devices and the machines was stable. A lingering question remains : Since the Safcom modem was the only device that has been loaned to another machine, could it have been the carrier of the trojan? A word of advice to those who move USB devices between machines, ensure your computer and the other computer are updated and clean before sharing data. Post new bytes next week. Rgds.

OT but Critical - Breast Cancer Assistance
by George Njoroge 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hello skunks, I have a close friend whose mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She needs to start her treatment which is amounting to around 400,000 Shs.

Re: [Skunkworks] Is number portability finally here?
by lordmwesh 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

I wonder why someone would want to buy safaricom then shift to zain, or yu. Price wars cannot be a justification. Maybe features war. There are people who have invested heavily on their networks in terms of service features like Mpesa, paybill, and other subscriber services. And finally, once you have migrated say from safaricom to orange, how will I know in which network you belong? I would wish to send you Mpesa, or call you expecting rates like those of my network Regards On 13/04/2010, skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke <skunkworks-request(a)lists.my.co.ke> wrote: > 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..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

[Fwd: [afnog] Root Zone DNSSEC Deployment Technical Status Update]
by Michuki Mwangi 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [afnog] Root Zone DNSSEC Deployment Technical Status Update Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 16:19:03 -0700 From: Joe Abley <joe.abley(a)icann.org> To: AFNOG <afnog(a)afnog.org> This is the fourth of a series of technical status updates intended to inform a technical audience on progress in signing the root zone of the DNS. RESOURCES Details of the project, including documentation published to date, can be found at http://www.root-dnssec.org/. We'd like to hear from you. If you have feedback for us, please send it to rootsign(a)icann.org. DOCUMENTATION The following draft document was recently published: - Resolver Testing with a DURZ - TCR - Proposed Approach to Root Key Management ICANN has begun the process of formally soliciting expressions of interest for volunteers from the technical community to act as Trusted Community Representatives. These volunteers will witness cryptographic key ceremonies and also carry out various important roles relating to KSK key management. For more information, see: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-12apr10-en.htm Expressions of interest can be submitted here: http://www.root-dnssec.org/tcr/ DEPLOYMENT STATUS KSR exchanges continue between production platforms at VeriSign and ICANN. Build-out of KSK Key Ceremony facilities at ICANN continues, and both facilities (east- and west-coast USA) are expected to be ready on schedule. The incremental deployment of DNSSEC in the Root Zone is being carried out first by serving a Deliberately Unvalidatable Root Zone (DURZ), and subsequently by a conventionally signed root zone. Discussion of the approach can be found in the document "DNSSEC Deployment for the Root Zone", as well as in the technical presentations delivered at RIPE, NANOG, IETF and ICANN meetings. Twelve of the thirteen root servers have now made the transition to the DURZ. No harmful effects have been identified. Some early analysis of packet captures from many root servers surrounding each event was recently presented at the IETF meeting in Anaheim, CA, USA and can be found with other presentation materials at <http://www.root-dnssec.org/presentations/>. PLANNED DEPLOYMENT SCHEDULE Already completed: 2010-01-27: L starts to serve DURZ 2010-02-10: A starts to serve DURZ 2010-03-03: M, I start to serve DURZ 2010-03-24: D, K, E start to serve DURZ 2010-04-14: B, H, C, G, F start to serve DURZ To come: 2010-05-05: J starts to serve DURZ 2010-07-01: Distribution of validatable, production, signed root zone; publication of root zone trust anchor (Please note that this schedule is tentative and subject to change based on testing results or other unforeseen factors.) A more detailed DURZ transition timetable with maintenance windows can be found in the document "DNSSEC Deployment for the Root Zone", the most recent draft of which can be found on the project web page at <http://www.root-dnssec.org/>. _______________________________________________ afnog mailing list http://afnog.org/mailman/listinfo/afnog

Big File Memory Blues
by || Nairobi Excel Tips || 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

It is possible to create a workbook that is larger than Excel can handle. For instance, I successfully imported about 65,000 rows of data into a worksheet where all the data was a single column wide. I then added about 25 columns worth of formulas with no problem. I saved the file, and it occupied about 84 MB on the hard drive. When I went to reopen the workbook, Excel balked, giving the message "Not Enough Memory," despite the fact that I had previously had the workbook open in Excel when I created it, and despite the fact that my system had more than enough RAM in it. I was using Excel 2000 at the time that I generated this error. In researching solutions, I found that for versions prior to Excel 2002, there is a 64 MB limit on Excel's memory usage. This limit was increased to 128 MB in Excel 2002, and to a full 1 GB in Excel 2003. Details are found in the following Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313275 It is interesting to note that these memory limits are per-instance, which means that you may have troubles if you open multiple workbooks whose aggregate memory usage approaches or exceeds the limits noted above. Thus, if you have several very large workbooks, you may want to open them in separate instances of Excel. Free Excel Tips @ www.excel101.net
