CCNA Discovery
by Simon Mbuthia 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hey guys, I hope some overworked skunk'll be online on a Saturday to help me out... I am trying to do a quiz on CCNA Discovery that I have installed on my PC. Problem is, when I click on the Quiz button/icon, the quiz window doesn't pop up. When I go to the discovery index page and I select a chapter and click on "Launch Course", nothing happens still. This is happening on both IE8 and FF3. Please help. It might also be instructive of me to mention that I am not getting any "Pop-up blocked" kind of message from either browser. What could be wrong?? Me. -- שִׁמְעוֹן

offsubject: friday closer. ever design speaker cabinets/boxes?
by aki 15 May '09

15 May '09

back in early 90s, there was a demand and designing these cabinets boxes was not an easy thing. possibly many may not know that the cabinet/box produces the correct sound ( with speakers, unles you use specials like Bose, JBL). And please not those things that are a box with blanket material in it and stuffed in your car boot......I worked on one project and we worked with displacement volume of air per speaker size with internal channels and divisions between woofer, mid range and tweeters. It was called WOOD TUNING! yeah, its true. Too big a box and you get muffled sound while too small sound like a speaker in a tin can. horrible. next time you want that real sound without much graphic equalizers, I think there should be online formulas to do the right box. ( those days the net was unknown ). The best speakers I'll remember were huge anti-static original JBL flat that would probably stop your heartbeat if you touched the static electricity speakers. These needed quad amps to drive the static across the diaphrams. :-)

PHP/Java for Windows in the Cloud aka Azure
by Mworia Wilfred Mutua 15 May '09

15 May '09

From: http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=2776 Microsoft has taken the wraps off a new software development kit (SDK) for testers interested in building apps in PHP for the Azure cloud<http://port25.technet.com/archive/2009/05/12/announcing-the-php-sdk-for-win…> . Microsoft made the announcement at TechEd India this week — a show running simultaneously with TechEd 2009 in Los Angeles. Microsoft collaborated on the PHP SDK with RealDolmen. Microsoft provided the funding for the development of the SDK (like it is doing with a Java SDK for Azure being developed by Schakra<http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=2504> ). The PHP SDK for Windows Azure, known as PHPAzure, is an open source project<http://phpazure.codeplex.com/>, available for download from Microsoft CodePlex. The SDK “provides consistent programming model for Windows Azure Storage (Blobs, Tables & Queues), according to the CodePlex site. On Microsoft’s Port 25 blog, Open Source Community Program Manager Peter Galli said Microsoft also is annoucing “the launch of a series of projects that offer samples and a toolkit that enable PHP developers to include Silverlight controls, Microsoft Virtual Earth maps and IE Webslices and Accelerators in PHP web applications<http://port25.technet.com/archive/2009/05/12/announcing-the-php-sdk-for-win…>; as well as automatically generated a simple “Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD)” PHP application from a table in SQL Server.” Today’s build of the PHP SDK is considered a Community Technology Preview. Milestone 2 is due out in late July, and the final in late August of this year <http://phpazure.codeplex.com/>. -- Regards, Mworia Wilfred Mutua http://www.afrinnovator.com/ http://www.visualcv.com/wmworia www.linkedin.com/in/wmworia googletalk: wmworia Yahoo IM: wilfred.mworia

Animation Presentations
by Murigi Muraya 15 May '09

15 May '09

Kudo's to Wesley! Now I remember why I'd like to hear him present on graphics manipulation or something of the sort! Basic introductory stuff not the hard core C++ stuff he and the likes of Steve Obbayi are into! One of these Saturdays we could get Adobe Air / Flex, Java FX and Silverlight animation technologists to demonstrate creating similar animations - each with a 30 to 45 minute period to do so. It could be one Saturday morning like from 10am to 2pm! Most Java and .Net developers are more likely to work with technolgies they are already familiar with to become devigners. The more experienced animation devigners are probably already into (Adobe's) Actionscript. Java.Fxers's can nominate one or two of their own to present - wherever else they hang out online (possibly on skunkworks). Silverlight.Netists can apply (probably to conradakunga(a)gmail.com) to present or nominate one or two of their own at www.africadotnet.com Adobe Flash / Flex / AIR devigners are probably the more experienced animators so we'll see if the rest are catching up with their tools and technologies. What d'yall think? Sponsors?

LOL. Seriously: My 20 cents: Moving current creates a magnetic field and I believe the larger the current the greater the field. This magnetic field interferes with the electronics in your radio that pick up radio transmission. So it's not the sound waves that are disturbed but rather you radio's electronics. Now I remember why I like physics 8~) --- On Thu, 5/14/09, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] General Engineering/Physics Question To: "Skunkworks forum" <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Date: Thursday, May 14, 2009, 10:26 AM Or it could be the church.
