Beware of Banton/Bruce Obwari
Good day folks, I hate to be going back to this as there was a thread about the above named person not so long ago. Despite all the warnings about him and his conduct on this list, I chose to do business with him nonetheless because I needed to recover some data from a faulty hard disk of mine. All I can say is that avoid the dude like a plague lest your fingers be burned. He comes out as a gentleman but he's cunning and dishonorable as they get. Just looking out for my fellow brethren and sisters. Rgds

@Antony, Its Just Kenyan... we only prefer to learn with experience... we dont like getting lessons from teachings by others or past experiences of others (which mostly comes from reading books/ articles or even listening attentively to others ...we just dont want to).. we prefer to be the ones doing the warnings, telling the tribulations, sending 310 to kanyari, chasing refunds from pyramid schemes and the list is endless...

tuma 310 na ndata ita rudishwo .... to soon? here is my guide of dealing with solo acts , we deal with solo acts because we don't have the money to spend on big names and sometimes these solo acts are the best .. so here is a quick list 1. No deposits , anyone worth his salt should be able to guarantee results unless there us purchase of parts which should be in reference with other vendors not mambo ya kuuziwa vitu hohe hahe 2. Time lines , once again they should give you proper timelines and unless death if a close one should those timelines be over looked 3. Test before payment, you know what you wanted and how you wanted it ..so test it before paying don't let them show you that they've fixed it ... most sys admins know the famous dev scape goat of "it works on my machine" 4. presentation , if the fella is like "Buddah hakuna ,mbrrcha nita get get ki stlye ya kuruka" ... run for the hills , if the fella shows up dressed up like you're going for camping or safari sevens .. run for the hills , if the fella tries to tell you about "mshida za kinyumbani aka maina kageni stories" , he's basically trying to endear himself to you ... do i need to say it??? 5. company/identity , now if you have a computer problem and the guy has a business card with names like general suppliers , merchant services , global solution .. this means the guy will just about do anything so if a "kadeal" happens to pop up , your issue will be promptly be put on the back burner 6. technical interview, whatever problem you have , research how it would normally be resolved e.g. data recovery ..you know they might clone , surface scan or raw data recovery ... get a conversation where they will have to give up info on how they're are gonna do it , if you dont here any words that sound familiar ... join the london marathon and RUUUNNN!! So there , these were compiled on the fly .. not considering anyone's feelings or affiliations On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at 11:45 AM, Wilson Bandi via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

@geoffrey, that bit about devs saying "it works on my machine" sometimes can be true, for example, if my code is built on the latest and greatest version of PHP, then the paranoid sys admin insists on using PHP 5.3 on the server! PS. This is a lame attempt to lighten the extremely serious mood of this post, and not an attempt to excuse the behaviours of lazy devs. On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at 12:06 PM, geoffrey gitagia via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

I have also had a bad encounter with a sales personnel on this list, who promised to fix my friend's laptop, only to return the same unfixed due to lack of "US" parts. Mind you, this is even after my friend quoted the part number in question and the sales person went ahead to acknowledge that he had the part in store, only for him to later say the part could not fit because it was a Kenyan part and not a US part! As far as I know, there's no company in this world which has one part number for 2 non-interchangeable parts, as my sales friend would like to me to believe. I have now suffered harm to my reputation as a consultant after years of building the same and I'm back to dealing with people I know and not people selling themselves here!
