3 Steps to The Kenyan Dream

3 Steps to The Kenyan Dream

3 Steps to The Kenyan Dream

Free laptops, yippee  but do Kenyans need free laptops. No offence, Uhuru Kenyatta. Infact, I would really appreciate a free laptop right now but more important things first. Kenya is fast advancing technologically but we need to look at the most important things, the most trivial things; the things that touch our day to day lives as ordinary Kenyan citizens.

Kenya has the potential to change for the better to develop and put on the big shoes it was meant to put on ever since Independence it has been a good 40 years and so far the leadership has always been wanting. Starting from the times of the First President of Kenya The Late Jomo Kenyatta and his Vice President The Late Mzee Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. It has been 40 years since and we are yet to see a country where the citizens do not luck the most basic and essential needs, free laptops sure but we must first live before we can even think of using the laptop, to live we must eat, drink, we must have a habitat and dress well.

ITS MY JOB

On several occasions when I look at what I do on a daily basis, what I accomplish at the end of the day, and the satisfaction I get, I smile broadly. The reason being that I had several challenges along the way before I got to shut the office door and call it a day. What fascinates me most is the different actions and reaction that I did when faced by the different challenges. Each action unique and the reaction would seem to give me some form of thrill. No one would easily envy what I do and my duty station but most definitely would admire the outcome.

I am an Information Officer in a humanitarian setup where credibility and earning community trust are vital to ensuring information passed or gathered is accurate and gets to the intended audience on time. Time being a major factor at the same time security working against you. What’s more the cultural diversity is a sight to behold but also one major huddle when communicating to the community. Still versatility and the trust the community has makes my job bearable.

Picture this; the community has its own interest which seems to contradict the information you are just about to pass. This is where quick negotiations have to be done with each party compromising a bit of their interest but accuracy is a luxury that cannot be compromised. This is called ‘hitting a snag’ but I call it my little bed of roses with a few thorns. A few agreements and disagreements and the deal is done.

Bearing the title information in a humanitarian setup is one major responsibility and requires a lot of patience and above all Solomon’s wisdom. I can only say I love my job.

  2. To avoid all the headaches of a System Administrator: the  web host server system must be maintained regularly to ensure security, optimal performance and not to mention the regular backups.

Firefox 4.0 no longer Beta

SnettsBlog as displayed on Firefox 4.0

Firefox my favorite browser has finally released the Firefox 4.0 without the beta aspect. Firefox 4.0 has been beta for a while now and we have been using it to test its performance and improvements. The last version of Firefox 4.0 before it was released without the beta status is Firefox 3.6.17.

During the testing period of the Firefox 4.0 beta version I didn’t notice any significant mishaps or bugs. However, I have just installed Firefox 4.0 and the speed and performance are pretty okay. The interface is great but kinda cliche because we have seen the slightly rounded tab corners in the Google Chrome browser and Opera. The greenish cycling effect for the data transferring processing is nice.

I don’t want to say much about the browser now let me give it some time to stew, then I will get back to you with a more technical review on its performance as compared to its predecessors.
