@Okech out of curiosity, what is it going to be doing in the next three weeks? I also assumed that Okech would have a smart TV, but do I say? I got one in January, just read the SDK was open up a couple of days ago so I'm waiting for developers to stream content from my PC and not through chrome browser. There was a java based app that worked then stopped working. So far I'm using it youtube, not yet subscribed to netflix et al On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 6:01 PM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

@Okech out of curiosity, what is it going to be doing in the next three weeks? I also assumed that Okech would have a smart TV, but do I say?
I got one in January, just read the SDK was open up a couple of days ago so I'm waiting for developers to stream content from my PC and not through chrome browser. There was a java based app that worked then stopped working. So far I'm using it youtube, not yet subscribed to netflix et al

[ long time lurker, first time real poster! ] I just stumbled across this thread and suppose this is as good a time as any to intro myself to the group. I'm British, born and raised not far from London and used to work at Google for 7 years in London and San Francisco as a product manager. Specifically I built YouTube's Send to TV <https://youtube.com/yt/sendtotv/> feature and developed the DIAL protocol <http://www.dial-multiscreen.org/>, both of which power some of the Chromecast software stack If anyone's interested in finding more about the Chromecast technology or the inside story about how Chromecast was developed, I'm more than happy to share insights over some beers. So what am I doing here in Kenya? Well inspired by a 3 month sabbatical when I toured tech startups in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria & Ghana, I quit my job at Google and have moved here to Nairobi to build a tech business. We're called OkHi and our we're solving the lack of physical address system here in Kenya. Our vision is to give every Kenyan citizen an address by building a bottoms-up system that empowers and incentivizes everyone to contribute their location data via their mobile phone. Again, if anyone's thought about this problem or interested in finding out more about what we're up to, ping me an email. Cheers Skunkers, it's great to be here!

I just stumbled across this thread and suppose this is as good a time as any to intro myself to the group.
I'm British, born and raised not far from London and used to work at Google for 7 years in London and San Francisco as a product manager. Specifically I built YouTube's Send to TV feature and developed the DIAL protocol, both of which power some of the Chromecast software stack
If anyone's interested in finding more about the Chromecast technology or the inside story about how Chromecast was developed, I'm more than happy to share insights over some beers.
So what am I doing here in Kenya? Well inspired by a 3 month sabbatical when I toured tech startups in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria & Ghana, I quit my job at Google and have moved here to Nairobi to build a tech business. We're called OkHi and our we're solving the lack of physical address system here in Kenya. Our vision is to give every Kenyan citizen an address by building a bottoms-up system that empowers and incentivizes everyone to contribute their location data via their mobile phone.
Again, if anyone's thought about this problem or interested in finding out more about what we're up to, ping me an email.
Cheers Skunkers, it's great to be here!

Asante sana! @Bernard - we tried desperately to make DLNA work, the last thing we wanted to have to do was develop a new standard. However we had to do it for the following reasons - DLNA certification is not rigid enough that it's truly a standard, every OEM supported the specification in different ways. This made building a truly ubiquitous experience impossible. - DLNA mostly requires the server (in the YouTube use case the mobile device) to transcode the video which has a big detrimental impact on battery life - It is extremely hard to build YouTube's fast, dynamic and trackable advertising service into a single DLNA video stream - The DIAL protocol does actually build on top of part of DLNA, SSDP - the search and discovery protocol. As for the manual pairing process, that was really a stop gap, a way for us to prove both the user experience and the business case to senior management. One of the reasons we created the DIAL protocol was to hide this manual pairing process from the user and do it in the background. If you buy any 2013+ Smart TV the phone and TV automatically pair in the background. @Mwendwa - if I was to make the decision purely for business reasons I would have moved to Nigeria, for sure. However, I'm not here just for business, I'm here to experience and enjoy living in a new country and meet new people. Kenya was the country I was most happy in throughout my travels, I met amazing people here and was made to feel very welcome. And I have no regrets! re Adam's comment, it's difficult to respond without knowing the context. For sure there's competition here, but how much depends a lot on the market (global vs Kenya), the industry, the type of company etc. By the simple fact that there are less startups working on more bigger problems here, I would say competition is less than in other mature tech ecosystems. And for the record, I don't think that's a good thing. Competition is good for the market. On 23 March 2014 20:56, Collins Areba <arebacollins@gmail.com> wrote:

Bw Timbo, Welcome to Kenya. The name that's closest to yours in Kenya is Tumbo. The name has not been taken up so you can suit yourself. You may ask what it means as you chat with Kenyans in the evenings. Soo... Welcome Bw. Tumbo. regards, James On 3/23/2014 22:50, Timbo Drayson wrote:

@Mwendwa - if I was to make the decision purely for business reasons I would have moved to Nigeria, for sure. However, I'm not here just for business, I'm here to experience and enjoy living in a new country and meet new people. Kenya was the country I was most happy in throughout my travels, I met amazing people here and was made to feel very welcome. And I have no regrets!
re Adam's comment, it's difficult to respond without knowing the context. For sure there's competition here, but how much depends a lot on the market (global vs Kenya), the industry, the type of company etc. By the simple fact that there are less startups working on more bigger problems here, I would say competition is less than in other mature tech ecosystems. And for the record, I don't think that's a good thing. Competition is good for the market.

I just stumbled across this thread and suppose this is as good a time as any to intro myself to the group.
I'm British, born and raised not far from London and used to work at Google for 7 years in London and San Francisco as a product manager. Specifically I built YouTube's Send to TV <https://youtube.com/yt/sendtotv/> feature and developed the DIAL protocol <http://www.dial-multiscreen.org/>, both of which power some of the Chromecast software stack
If anyone's interested in finding more about the Chromecast technology or the inside story about how Chromecast was developed, I'm more than happy to share insights over some beers.
So what am I doing here in Kenya? Well inspired by a 3 month sabbatical when I toured tech startups in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria & Ghana, I quit my job at Google and have moved here to Nairobi to build a tech business. We're called OkHi and our we're solving the lack of physical address system here in Kenya. Our vision is to give every Kenyan citizen an address by building a bottoms-up system that empowers and incentivizes everyone to contribute their location data via their mobile phone.
Again, if anyone's thought about this problem or interested in finding out more about what we're up to, ping me an email.
Cheers Skunkers, it's great to be here!

@Okech out of curiosity, what is it going to be doing in the next three weeks? I also assumed that Okech would have a smart TV, but do I say?
I got one in January, just read the SDK was open up a couple of days ago so I'm waiting for developers to stream content from my PC and not through chrome browser. There was a java based app that worked then stopped working. So far I'm using it youtube, not yet subscribed to netflix et al

James, you do not recall "Tumbo, the young Maasai who went to Makerere College"? Prof. Tumbo? Timbo is aka Grasshopper/Locust. I suggested to him this evening that he makes it 'african' and we call him Dede (in Luo). Since I suggested first, I guess I win. Timbo Dede! If he's a BIG grasshopper, then he becomes "Timbo Ongogo", and his 2nd name betrays him<LOL> though color favors him... On 30 May 2014 20:01, James Kagwe <kagwejg@gmail.com> wrote:

Wash, Good idea of a smaller and simpler name. However Bw. Timbo aka Timbo Dege/ Timbo Ongogo needs a name that reminds him of how we as Kenyans think. As you know we think of our Tumbos first. He needs to keep remembering that to survive here. I still insist he adopts the name and now officially welcome Bw. Tumbo to Kenya though belatedly. I downloaded OkHi yesterday and I am trying it out. I will give feedback soon. James Sent from a mobile device. On May 31, 2014 12:36 AM, "Odhiambo Washington" <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:

Timbo is aka Grasshopper/Locust. I suggested to him this evening that he makes it 'african' and we call him Dede (in Luo).
Since I suggested first, I guess I win. Timbo Dede! If he's a BIG grasshopper, then he becomes "Timbo Ongogo", and his 2nd name betrays him<LOL> though color favors him...

Bw Timbo,
Welcome to Kenya. The name that's closest to yours in Kenya is Tumbo. The name has not been taken up so you can suit yourself. You may ask what it means as you chat with Kenyans in the evenings. Soo... Welcome Bw. Tumbo.

@Bernard - we tried desperately to make DLNA work, the last thing we wanted to have to do was develop a new standard. However we had to do it for the following reasons - DLNA certification is not rigid enough that it's truly a standard, every OEM supported the specification in different ways. This made building a truly ubiquitous experience impossible. - DLNA mostly requires the server (in the YouTube use case the mobile device) to transcode the video which has a big detrimental impact on battery life - It is extremely hard to build YouTube's fast, dynamic and trackable advertising service into a single DLNA video stream - The DIAL protocol does actually build on top of part of DLNA, SSDP - the search and discovery protocol.
As for the manual pairing process, that was really a stop gap, a way for us to prove both the user experience and the business case to senior management. One of the reasons we created the DIAL protocol was to hide this manual pairing process from the user and do it in the background. If you buy any 2013+ Smart TV the phone and TV automatically pair in the background.
@Mwendwa - if I was to make the decision purely for business reasons I would have moved to Nigeria, for sure. However, I'm not here just for business, I'm here to experience and enjoy living in a new country and meet new people. Kenya was the country I was most happy in throughout my travels, I met amazing people here and was made to feel very welcome. And I have no regrets!
re Adam's comment, it's difficult to respond without knowing the context. For sure there's competition here, but how much depends a lot on the market (global vs Kenya), the industry, the type of company etc. By the simple fact that there are less startups working on more bigger problems here, I would say competition is less than in other mature tech ecosystems. And for the record, I don't think that's a good thing. Competition is good for the market.

I just stumbled across this thread and suppose this is as good a time as any to intro myself to the group.
I'm British, born and raised not far from London and used to work at Google for 7 years in London and San Francisco as a product manager. Specifically I built YouTube's Send to TV <https://youtube.com/yt/sendtotv/> feature and developed the DIAL protocol <http://www.dial-multiscreen.org/>, both of which power some of the Chromecast software stack
If anyone's interested in finding more about the Chromecast technology or the inside story about how Chromecast was developed, I'm more than happy to share insights over some beers.
So what am I doing here in Kenya? Well inspired by a 3 month sabbatical when I toured tech startups in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria & Ghana, I quit my job at Google and have moved here to Nairobi to build a tech business. We're called OkHi and our we're solving the lack of physical address system here in Kenya. Our vision is to give every Kenyan citizen an address by building a bottoms-up system that empowers and incentivizes everyone to contribute their location data via their mobile phone.
Again, if anyone's thought about this problem or interested in finding out more about what we're up to, ping me an email.
Cheers Skunkers, it's great to be here!

Wash,
Good idea of a smaller and simpler name. However Bw. Timbo aka Timbo Dege/ Timbo Ongogo needs a name that reminds him of how we as Kenyans think.
As you know we think of our Tumbos first. He needs to keep remembering that to survive here. I still insist he adopts the name and now officially welcome Bw. Tumbo to Kenya though belatedly.
I downloaded OkHi yesterday and I am trying it out. I will give feedback soon.

Timbo is aka Grasshopper/Locust. I suggested to him this evening that he makes it 'african' and we call him Dede (in Luo).
Since I suggested first, I guess I win. Timbo Dede! If he's a BIG grasshopper, then he becomes "Timbo Ongogo", and his 2nd name betrays him<LOL> though color favors him...

@Bernard - we tried desperately to make DLNA work, the last thing we wanted to have to do was develop a new standard. However we had to do it for the following reasons - DLNA certification is not rigid enough that it's truly a standard, every OEM supported the specification in different ways. This made building a truly ubiquitous experience impossible. - DLNA mostly requires the server (in the YouTube use case the mobile device) to transcode the video which has a big detrimental impact on battery life - It is extremely hard to build YouTube's fast, dynamic and trackable advertising service into a single DLNA video stream - The DIAL protocol does actually build on top of part of DLNA, SSDP - the search and discovery protocol.
As for the manual pairing process, that was really a stop gap, a way for us to prove both the user experience and the business case to senior management. One of the reasons we created the DIAL protocol was to hide this manual pairing process from the user and do it in the background. If you buy any 2013+ Smart TV the phone and TV automatically pair in the background.
@Mwendwa - if I was to make the decision purely for business reasons I would have moved to Nigeria, for sure. However, I'm not here just for business, I'm here to experience and enjoy living in a new country and meet new people. Kenya was the country I was most happy in throughout my travels, I met amazing people here and was made to feel very welcome. And I have no regrets!
re Adam's comment, it's difficult to respond without knowing the context. For sure there's competition here, but how much depends a lot on the market (global vs Kenya), the industry, the type of company etc. By the simple fact that there are less startups working on more bigger problems here, I would say competition is less than in other mature tech ecosystems. And for the record, I don't think that's a good thing. Competition is good for the market.

I just stumbled across this thread and suppose this is as good a time as any to intro myself to the group.
I'm British, born and raised not far from London and used to work at Google for 7 years in London and San Francisco as a product manager. Specifically I built YouTube's Send to TV <https://youtube.com/yt/sendtotv/> feature and developed the DIAL protocol <http://www.dial-multiscreen.org/>, both of which power some of the Chromecast software stack
If anyone's interested in finding more about the Chromecast technology or the inside story about how Chromecast was developed, I'm more than happy to share insights over some beers.
So what am I doing here in Kenya? Well inspired by a 3 month sabbatical when I toured tech startups in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria & Ghana, I quit my job at Google and have moved here to Nairobi to build a tech business. We're called OkHi and our we're solving the lack of physical address system here in Kenya. Our vision is to give every Kenyan citizen an address by building a bottoms-up system that empowers and incentivizes everyone to contribute their location data via their mobile phone.
Again, if anyone's thought about this problem or interested in finding out more about what we're up to, ping me an email.
Cheers Skunkers, it's great to be here!

Timbo is a what young kids call Tumbo while they learn pronunciation, so I think before he learns to walk we can stick to his Timbo and graduate him accordingly..

James, you do not recall "Tumbo, the young Maasai who went to Makerere College"? Prof. Tumbo?
Timbo is aka Grasshopper/Locust. I suggested to him this evening that he makes it 'african' and we call him Dede (in Luo).
Since I suggested first, I guess I win. Timbo Dede! If he's a BIG grasshopper, then he becomes "Timbo Ongogo", and his 2nd name betrays him<LOL> though color favors him...

Bw Timbo,
Welcome to Kenya. The name that's closest to yours in Kenya is Tumbo. The name has not been taken up so you can suit yourself. You may ask what it means as you chat with Kenyans in the evenings. Soo... Welcome Bw. Tumbo.

Asante sana!
@Bernard - we tried desperately to make DLNA work, the last thing we wanted to have to do was develop a new standard. However we had to do it for the following reasons - DLNA certification is not rigid enough that it's truly a standard, every OEM supported the specification in different ways. This made building a truly ubiquitous experience impossible. - DLNA mostly requires the server (in the YouTube use case the mobile device) to transcode the video which has a big detrimental impact on battery life - It is extremely hard to build YouTube's fast, dynamic and trackable advertising service into a single DLNA video stream - The DIAL protocol does actually build on top of part of DLNA, SSDP - the search and discovery protocol.
As for the manual pairing process, that was really a stop gap, a way for us to prove both the user experience and the business case to senior management. One of the reasons we created the DIAL protocol was to hide this manual pairing process from the user and do it in the background. If you buy any 2013+ Smart TV the phone and TV automatically pair in the background.
@Mwendwa - if I was to make the decision purely for business reasons I would have moved to Nigeria, for sure. However, I'm not here just for business, I'm here to experience and enjoy living in a new country and meet new people. Kenya was the country I was most happy in throughout my travels, I met amazing people here and was made to feel very welcome. And I have no regrets!
re Adam's comment, it's difficult to respond without knowing the context. For sure there's competition here, but how much depends a lot on the market (global vs Kenya), the industry, the type of company etc. By the simple fact that there are less startups working on more bigger problems here, I would say competition is less than in other mature tech ecosystems. And for the record, I don't think that's a good thing. Competition is good for the market.

Timbo, Karibu. I've always wondered though, why the Send To Tv feature doesn't simply make use of DLNA. What was the motivation for pairing in the first place?

I just stumbled across this thread and suppose this is as good a time as any to intro myself to the group.
I'm British, born and raised not far from London and used to work at Google for 7 years in London and San Francisco as a product manager. Specifically I built YouTube's Send to TV<https://youtube.com/yt/sendtotv/>feature and developed the DIAL protocol <http://www.dial-multiscreen.org/>, both of which power some of the Chromecast software stack
If anyone's interested in finding more about the Chromecast technology or the inside story about how Chromecast was developed, I'm more than happy to share insights over some beers.
So what am I doing here in Kenya? Well inspired by a 3 month sabbatical when I toured tech startups in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria & Ghana, I quit my job at Google and have moved here to Nairobi to build a tech business. We're called OkHi and our we're solving the lack of physical address system here in Kenya. Our vision is to give every Kenyan citizen an address by building a bottoms-up system that empowers and incentivizes everyone to contribute their location data via their mobile phone.
Again, if anyone's thought about this problem or interested in finding out more about what we're up to, ping me an email.
Cheers Skunkers, it's great to be here!

Welcome Timbo, we are open for business. A quick question, how did you arrive at settling in Kenya, and not Nigeria, Ghana, or Tanzania. Nigeria has a bigger market for any product you might develop, and it's most likely it does not have a physical address system, just like Kenya. One investor who set camp here a year ago Adam Nelson from New York once said, "there is no competition in Kenya". Do you think so?

I have a chromecast and I can see its quite handy when you want to watch something on your tv instead of your phone or tablet. Plus it has an 'Add to TV Queue' feature when using youtube, so you just sit back go through your subscriptions and keep adding them the tv queue, then wait and watch them on your TV. Another added benefit is that you can cast a chrome browser tab to your TV, it's buggy as hell, but helpful when you want to have a certain page with 'ticker data' or 'live graph' always visible on your TV as you use your PC for other stuff. Thats pretty much all I use it for. I'd say for the $50 I spent, its worth it. My 2c. On 13 February 2014 09:27, Thuo Wilson <lixton@gmail.com> wrote:

Wash I wouldn't advise you otherwise, that's what I'm trying to say. But since I have many Samsung products, I have no problem.

Another added benefit is that you can cast a chrome browser tab to your TV, it's buggy as hell, but helpful when you want to have a certain page with 'ticker data' or 'live graph' always visible on your TV as you use your PC for other stuff. Thats pretty much all I use it for.
I'd say for the $50 I spent, its worth it.

I have a chromecast and its the best thing since sliced bread. And now that they have opened it up, it means in a few weeks many andorid apps will work on it. Somehow I prefr it to my apple TV..I think it has a better picture quality. Kev On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 6:44 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

Martin, The answer is ........................... none. I cannot use it with my Safcom 3G bundles. That's suicide. It doesn't quite stream to my TV.. works with some file formats, but working on 2.4Ghz is not that good for streaming. Subscriptions to those services Google has favored is another issue, but requires one who has all the bandwidth! On 12 February 2014 19:17, Martin Gicheru <martin@techweez.com> wrote:

@Okech out of curiosity, what is it going to be doing in the next three weeks? I also assumed that Okech would have a smart TV, but do I say?
I got one in January, just read the SDK was open up a couple of days ago so I'm waiting for developers to stream content from my PC and not through chrome browser. There was a java based app that worked then stopped working. So far I'm using it youtube, not yet subscribed to netflix et al

@Alex Nyalita, Thanks for letting me know but I'm specifically interested on chromecast.
@Martin Gicheru, Oh fiddlesticks! I wish I'd asked soon enough. Anyway, I'll let you know if I'll need an extra but it seems I'll be getting one sooner from another skunk. Much appreciated.

Should have sent this out 2 days ago. I was in Amsterdam on Saturday and saw it. If you still haven't got one by third week I could assist you get one in Barcelona.
