@Ahmed, Noted. Am sure Steve's Safcom team is reading and compiling a response :-) Meanwhile, is Machuchi in the house? I added Suppliers on the theme hoping he has some beef to share. Ama Steve has sorted him out offline? Either way, he has to share the issues for the benefit of the others :-) walu.

NO!. compared to what is the standard with the like offacebook to have a developers portal (https://developers.facebook.com) and Equity/Equitelportal very easy to use (https://developers.equitybankgroup.com/apis)and https://developer.pesapal.com/ etcsafaricom does not have this well documented and you have to make a number ofguess emails most often to the wrong department or person, Something that couldtake hours ends up taking weeks and sometime months. One get the impressionthat safaricom is under staffed or the staff are just ignoring your email butit not that bad this days I was give a call account manager that is quitehelpful sometime I don’t need to email Ijust call her up.. and things are done.. I think she got the job because of hervoice.. b) Are the issues to do with Intellectual property/Patents/Procurement clear and adequate?Lot of grey line in this but safaricom based competition isvery clear on this outlining ownership and all.. c) Whereas the gain-sharing agreements are private andconfidential, how can they be made better? I think safaricom is NOT in the business of sealing ideasbut Most employees being Kenyan have a keen eye on opportunities.. otheremployees have vested interest in competingbusinesses and will lock you up new idea to be launched where they can eat from..I think having applications to be view-able by more than one employee in thebusiness would help but I would recommend you pray very very hard if possiblefast for 40 days before sharing with this guys in private d) What is Safcom take on Bitcoin/Blockchain technologies?If bitcoin gained high traction that I would be in a positionto purchase sukuma from the kibanda via bitcoin other operators would come toraise at the expense of the home currency just as we don’t trade in gold andgold is represented in reserve via the currency notes, we would trade inbitcoin represented in Kenya currency.. I don’t see M-Pesa in the Picture pastthe currency loading yet they want you to Lipa Na M-Pesa kokote.. but may be amother thinking..

Re: [Skunkworks] Imaging Software

This is a very wide question and depends on both your requirements and your operating system. In a Linux environment, dd should handle any imaginable scenario. Windows doesn't give one particular tool so you need to be more specific if you require a recommendation. Clonezilla is an excellent third party tool with support for multiple file systems. I am looking to create images for entire drives and/or just selected folders... *(Apologies for not clarifying earlier)*

Hello Skunkers, I intend to reconstitute the mailing list by tomorrow. What this means is that I am going to UNSUBSCRIBE everyone then whoever wants to join can subscribe again. At the moment, the mailing list has got *1931 *which IMHO doesn't make sense. root@lists:~# /var/lib/mailman/bin/list_members skunkworks | wc -l 1931 So, after this message completes sending to the 1931 addresses, you will all receive an UNSUBSCRIBE notification. Do the necessary once you receive that. The link to SUBSCRIBE is *http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks <http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks>* I hope no one feels annoyed by this decision (unilateral as it is).

issues with .co.ke domains not resolving on Google 8.8.8.8 DNS
by Andris Bjornson 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Hello, I'm noting that a number of popular .co.ke domains currently don't resolve on 8.8.8.8 (google's public DNS servers). They continue to resolve normally on other common DNS servers like 4.2.2.2. In particular, I noticed safaricom.co.ke is impacted, as well as standardmedia.co.ke. Anyone else noting this or know the cause?
