Riyaz You can look into it but will you resurrect the dead customer care? Will you be on call 24/7 for me? Or do you want to help me now then when I call or email you then you will get back to me rudely or one week later? Zuku must have a functioning CC. It must have standby support team 24/7. There are 3 friends in my predicament who just find it hard that in this day and age you guys start such a service and then you cant support it? I had to throw it away and now I am fully using Safcom but I am paying through the nose. The good thing is that its super fast and I can even download a whole DVD in 14 Minutes. I love it and I have the latest Books and Movies and even softwares because of it. I just love the speeds. If I get twice the speed of Safcom, I will move but until then, I am stuck with Safcom Theus On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 6:25 PM, Riyaz Bachani < riyaz.bachani(a)ke.wananchi.com> wrote: > Theus, Hi, > > What issues did you have with your connection ?

Zain-GPRS Modem Problem
by Beatrice Ngugi 26 May '09

26 May '09

Pple, I have a strange problem with my Huawei GPRS Modem (Zain-UG).When I use it in my laptop, the software installs well and i can access Skype and sometimes GoogleTalk (rarely), but I cannot connect to any other site (with IE or Mozilla). My main concern is that when I connect it to other computers/laptops, it connects to any site despite our network configurations/setup being similar. When I do an IP Config on my laptop, this is what I get; I have tried to contact their customer support but has not been helpful so far, what could be the problem? any assistance....please. Rgds, Beatrice Ngugi Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

White House launches data.gov

A new GoK web portal is not a bad start, but how about taking it a step further ... http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/05/white-house-launches-datagov-and-s… White House Launches Data.gov and Seeks Advice on Transparency - By Kim Zetter [image: Email Author] <kzetter(a)gmail.com> - May 21, 2009 | - 3:32 pm | - Categories: Sunshine and Secrecy<http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/category/sunshine-and-secrecy/> [image: us-whitehouse-logo]<http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/2009/05/us-whitehouse-logo.jpg> The Obama administration launched its anticipated Data.gov web site<http://www.data.gov/>today where federal agencies will publish raw data. The data is being made available to programmers to allow them to develop applications to make the data more accessible to the public. The site’s catalog <http://www.data.gov/catalog> currently contains fewer than 100 datasets, but will grow as agencies translate more data into raw digital formats. The data is available in XML, Text/CSV, Keyhole Markup Language and Compressed Keyhole Markup Language, Feeds, XLS, or ESRI Shapefile formats. The site also provides links to widgets and data mining and extraction tools to help cull through data from specific agencies. To encourage the development of applications for the data, the Sunlight Foundation, in conjunction with others, has launched a competition, Apps for America 2: the Data.gov Challenge<http://www.sunlightlabs.com/contests/appsforamerica2/>. The winner of the best application will receive $10,000<http://www.sunlightlabs.com/contests/appsforamerica2/>. The runner-up and third place winners will receive $5,000 and $2,500 respectively. All three will receive a trip to Washington, D.C. to the awards ceremony in September. A special $2,500 prize will go to the person who creates the best visualization of data.gov data. Deadline for submissions is August 7. In addition to its Data.gov site, the Obama administration is also asking the public for advice on how it can become more transparent. Comments, ideas and proposals can be submitted between now and June 3 to opengov(a)ostp.gov or through the White House Open Government Initiative<http://www.whitehouse.gov/open/>web site. Beginning today, we will have a brainstorming session for suggesting ideas for the open government recommendations. You can vote on suggested ideas or add your own. Then on June 3rd, the most compelling ideas from the brainstorming will be fleshed out on a weblog in a discussion phase. On June 15th, we will invite you to use a wiki to draft recommendations in collaborative fashion. Cheers, - Chris
