@Aki you are now playing politics. I would pay but like I said, i am not allowed to get anyone on the server but am allowed to learn. Anyway, I think this list is about sharing ideas and hacks. I needed help and I sort of think I have in a way contributed to someone's issues once or twice and am just seeking to get some when i need it. @Chris, thanks. David.

I think David needs to be assisted whether he is doing commercial or pet installation. That's the spirit of Skunkworks. There is a reason he has chosen not to pay someone to do it. Most of us here I agreed are somehow paid to do what we do, and get stuck from time to time and hence we come here and ask for ideas and contribute some from time time.

@Aki, is there a reason why am being picked on? I googled the far I could, got to that point I felt a one on one session would be helpful.

@aki youre out of Order!

I know soon am destined to be public enemy number one! But remember a rebel for a cause :-))) The only reason I asked David to google is because he himself is someone who understands technology. Why was he looking for a shortcut? @Brainiac, the other day some asked you for your WP scripts for free! Did you respond? :-) @Wash, shall we hlep those who are not technically inclined or those who are technical competent but looking for quick answers. Afterall, they are doping commercial installations. I think big difference. Ama? :-) -- Rgds, "Skunkworks-KE is a social platform for technologists.

@Brainiac, to not respond is not good. To say that I can do it at a fee or a day rate, we are promoting those who have aquired skills through sheer hardwork and also spent money whether on internet/education. Let those who need skills and are doing commercial projects pay those who are willing tow take up the work. Its that simple.

here is why i differ on this @aki. Imagine you urgently need to know where you can find a HP server in nairobi, so you post this on the list. then all you get are answers like : "Ill tell you where if you pay me", and all the important information is then inboxed and technology / knowledge is not shared. @aki are you trying to convert skunkworks into something like elance?

@Brianiac, Im not coverting anything. If you are a CentOS person, why don't you sort with David. That money my friend is paying for your skills, mbona kutupa hivyo? Kwani will anyone come to your aid from this social list if you were in an accident or injured etc? Lets take offlist and discuss. Maybe you can set me straight on this topic. :-) Rgds.

@Aki, you are missing a point here. The whole idea is to share knowledge and ideas. I know I could have googled, which by now I have and found answers that are even more confusing. Now, understand that I have very little experience with this and the only reason I avoid using Google is to avoid mistakes that could cost a lot more. Had you come to me and said I have the solution but you have to pay, that would have been a new direction to this conversation but you are stating that I cant come here and ask questions just because I understand technology. FYI, I understand PHP/MySQL, AJAX, HTML/CSS, PYTHON, SYMBIAN C and none of that has anything to do with server admin. Technology is broad and am sure if I search through threads here I will find something you have asked that you could have googled. Again, this debate fails to make sense and I do not really know you beyond this list and I doubt you know me and I cant figure why you would have anything against me so I assume you have something that makes sense that you are trying to bring out, only its not come out yet, rather I havent got it.

@Aki, if you can help, am willing to pay. Only I will work on chat, you tell me what to do and I do it. Googling has too many options and I cant risk trying too many options. David. On Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 1:06 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

This is a tired thread. Aki, just kill it. If some are willing to provide help for free that shouldn't bother you. David, if you still need assistance you can drop a mail, on the list and I'll try help you (for free). If you'd also prefer chat, we can use Google chat (for free).

On the other hand, some company once encouraged their support team to tell customers that they could easily fix small problems on their own. Most ended up creating even more problems and thus driving the final bill for repair up and making more money for the company...

I think David needs to be assisted whether he is doing commercial or pet installation. That's the spirit of Skunkworks. There is a reason he has chosen not to pay someone to do it. Most of us here I agreed are somehow paid to do what we do, and get stuck from time to time and hence we come here and ask for ideas and contribute some from time time.

Guys,
@David, are you doing a commercial implementation ( i.e earning whether directly or indirectly? ) or free? If commercial, IMHO you should be paying someone on this list for skills.

Its commercial @aki Problem is at this moment I am not allowed to let anyone else on the server. Its a totally high profile project that I will probably brag about when its public here :) David. On Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 12:04 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
