Good questions. These are just my convictions (no rationale). The fellow is a strong believer in social justice. http://skeetfaith.blogspot.com/

Kind of fellow who would read Britain's Gulag and want to do something small to make up for it.

Previous e-mail indicated who he works for. Nothing special about him and if our Alpha Geeks (such as Bernard) imitated him and presented more of their insights we would all be better off.

I am just a weeny bit curious why Murigi evidently certain the coder
will be coming to Kenya on holiday soon and that he'd be interested or
find time to give a free talk?

Whom does he work for? His blog says "**This is my personal blog. The
views expressed on these pages are mine alone and not those of my
