Tonnie Macharia, Push emails are available by design for all modern Nokia E-series, N-series, XTC, and all High end business phones. The phone will be downloading headers, and you get notifications just like SMS when new emails are sent. No need to subscribe for the blackberry service. The service is available through IMAP enabled email servers, and will also work for your custom domain like me(a)tonniemacharia.me.ke For more information, and how to host your corporate emails with PUSH Technology, contact me off-list. That is our speciality and we have offred the same service to variouse organizations Kind regards lordmwesh -- ______________________ For Affordable Webhosting and domain registration.

Re: [Skunkworks] Oohh I like this

As Gakuru rightly put it, it would be far much better to analyse the cost-benefit rather than fantasize on these technologies.Techies(me included) get excited over such but it would be an quite an eye opener for us if a researcher or market analyst could perform an analysis of relevant services. What I expect in 2010 is a more vibrant consumer awareness in the telecom sector and what should rightly be expected from operators.Many a times operators raise high expectations but those of us locked up in server rooms know all too well the challenges and shortcomings of eg wireless access technologies,etc which are not unique in Kenya; a little googling will confirm this.I am well aware that firms are out to make or squeeze bucks from subscribers.However, with more awareness at least subs will know what they are getting into.In developed countries there exist very well informed consumer rights groups who even perform real life demos and tests for consumers.Remember those early days of flash disks?You walk in and buy a 512mb but is it really 512mb?My 500gb reads 486gb from the properties tab! Never had anyone complain.Why?Because we all know what bits and bytes are. What I hope and expect is an concerted effort by groups,boards,associations,etc charged with protecting and informing the public to live up to their tasks. bernard -----Original Message----- From: Mark Mwangi Sent: 02/01/2010 11:18:09 am Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Oohh I like this these guys are conducting trials while safaricom have 3.5G in my ocha?. . . .by the time they are rolling out safaricom will have LTE in marsabit!

Skunkworks Server Contributions @ 156K so far - Due by Feb 5, 2010.
by Murigi Muraya 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Dear All, Unless the current Skunkworks Server retires before then, can we submit our contributions by Feb 5, 2010? Which components do we buy from Alvin, AKI (chekelea.com) or Cybertron Technologies? www.chekelea.com has quoted KES 186, 690.00 for a HP Rack Proliant DL 380. HP Rack ProLiant DL380 G6 Intel Xeon L5520 Quad Core 2.26 GHz, 8 MB L3 Cache, 1066-MHz FSB, 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 Unbuffered (UDIMM) Memory, NO HDD, P410i/ZM Controller, No Mouse, Keyboard, Rack (2U) Some components are not included e.g. HDD's. ONE (300GB SAS, 10K, SFF, ENT) HDD will cost at least 40K. Looks like the Server Investment will be about 260K - if we buy only ONE (non SATA) HDD & a reasonable UPS. If we buy 2 non SAS 300GB HDD's it will be 300K ... So maybe SATA HDD's will do. Alternatively, we can go Dell PowerEdge 1425 quoted at 100K by Cybertron Technologies with a SATA hard drive .. Specs are listed on the quotations spreadsheet link on the contribution spreadsheet. It is within the finances we have raised now so ... Can Server Geeks start a discussion on HP vs Dell Servers in Kenya? Service, support etc ... ? Where will the Server be located and can those who have an idea of costing figures (economics) for hosting services educate us on the same. Yes it is competition for some of us but .... Those who have contributed for the Skunkworks Server should be allowed to vote (with the list founders and geeks who have been running the server / service without demanding anything over the years) on the issues required to get this society / association registered ASAP. My suggestion is 1 Vote per Contributor. So those who have contributed 500 bob will have the same voting power as those who have contributed 10K. Hosting privileges (e.g. service & product advertisements) on the Server should however be commensurate to (time, skill and financial) contributions to give this Service more long term commercial viability, survivability and growth. Would the (first) Skunkworks breakfast not be a good forum to go through this deal?

Phares Kariuki We can have atleast everyone in their geographical or near-geographical location, and the three should also provide MPesa and Zap numbers where they can receive payments from afar. ./Ok3ch

Even though Oracle insist that Mysql is safe, I just hope the open database alliance will provide the support that MariaDB (Monty AB) really needs. bernard -----Original Message----- From: Steve Obbayi Sent: 14/12/2009 4:34:23 pm Subject: [Skunkworks] Help Saving MySQL http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2009/12/help-saving-mysql.html Steve Obbayi SKYPE: sobbayi US: +1 202 297 6831 KE: +254 722 627 691 http://sobbayi.com http://blog.sobbayi.com _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AopdHkqSqKL-dHlQVTMxU1VBdU1BSWJxdy1… ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general

Vmware Issue
by Alex Ngatia 04 Jan '10

Happy new year skunkers. I was running Fedora 10 and WinXP installed on Vmware server. Now the issue is that I installed Windows 7 after an update to Fedora 12 broke the Vmware. Now I need to access some files from the XP and wanted to install Fedora 10 on Vmware in Windows 7. Anyone done this or know if this works before I spend lots of time chasing my rear? -- Regards, Alex
