Content Aggregation and Discovery Tools
by Victor Ngeny 24 Oct '09

24 Oct '09

Fellows, As someone who works online and uses the internet for most of my work, I would like to ask which tool you use to aggregate and discover content from the various sites you deem interesting. I have heard many talk of the death of the RSS feed reader with the advent of Twitter and all for real time news, so my question goes, what's your content aggregation tool? Do you still use RSS readers or do you prefer real time tools, like twitter/FB the like? Is do you use both? Thanks Cheers, V -- Victor Ngeny Mobile +254718688999 GTalk: victormaritim Twitter: @ngeny Yahoo: vikngne Skype: victor.ngeny

Help Unhide Folders (Virus)
by Samuel Waithaka 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Know this virus that creates .exe of your folders then super-hides any folder in the flash disk. I was googling on trying to unhide; I only always get this tip of changing a value somewhere in the registry. It doesn't work at all. The command prompt won't work either.

Taesk CMS
by Michael Pedersen 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi Skunks, Now that we are all talking about "big" projects I am very proud to finally be able to announce that Taesk CMS have become open source (GPLv3) see http://www.taesk.org Taesk CMS is (yes you guessed it) a content management system, one that I have been heavily involved in developing ever since I wrote the initial version back in 2001 (yes thats before Joomla existed) and co-founded PLUSPEOPLE to deliver worldclass websolutions to our clients, mainly using Taesk CMS. Taesk has a different focus than other CMS' in that it does not try to provide as many features as possible - instead it tries very carefully to limit the features available, in order to make it more easy for the users to comprehend (and remember) how the systems actually works - always keeping in mind that the end-user it not very tech-savvy! Do not mis-interpretate this as if Taesk does not have many features - it does - but they are carefully "hidden" behind a well designed and simple interface. Always remember that the daily administrators are not as technically qualified as the developers who build the site - so what seems "easy" for a developer to use might be completely nonsense for "regular people". Feel free to let me know if our balance between usability and functionality has succeeded or not. Sometime in 2008 we decided to make Taesk CMS open source, but it is actually not until now that we finally managed to spend a little time setting up a website for it and actually releasing it as such - it now available at http://www.taesk.org Currently it is the latest verison 1.6.6 that is available on the website - do not let the "low" version number fool you, it is the 7th or 8th main release (since version 0.9), and is in active development more or less every day. Documentation is still lacking on the website - we have lots of documentation for the system, but it will take some additional time to prepare it all for publication - I'll be working on this in the weeks to come. If Skunkers are interested then I'll be happy to give presentations and/or tutorials the next time I'm in Nairobi. It could be on a Tuesday meeting or barcamp or whatever. In the meantime you are more than welcome to post questions regarding Taesk on the support forum, or here on the skunkworks mailling-list if it is of a broader interest. I hope the release of Taesk CMS makes me an "original programmer" by Aki's standards ;-) Regards Michael Pedersen PLUSPEOPLE
