One of our clients bought a Linksys GS (With Speedbooster) router for his side (CPE).The thing worked for some 20 minutes and then died. Even putting in the manufacturer firmware upgarde the router could work.I resorted to an opensource solution for Linksys routers after a google search , emailing a friend and visiting my favourite techie forum.Am pleased to say that its now a week without the

Well I like to think of myself that am hardened to Malaria but I have had to rethink my positionin the way I was whacked flat by this little menace. Am now recovering but come to think of it in economic sense it is a bad thing.Instead of meeting potential clients and servicing clients I spent the day sleeping. And in our type of industry were our margins are low a company cannot afford these

This term came about when I was reading Global Voices on an issue about African Indaba. It raised some controvesy and mostly I guess people agreed to disagree on issues.

I have always wondered of the misplaced hate/blame in this world one of it is the thinkingthat the white brethren owe blacks something. As a people we tend to blame all the races of this world for our ills. Most of the times we are killing each other in terms of proxies or just pure ruthlessness.If you read this article it becomes clear that we are our own worst enemy and if you come by a book

Well briefly I would like to highlight issues which have cropped up during my stay in this Northern City of Malawi.PERSONAL NOTE: Well I have made a good number of friends and met some interesting people. Forged new alliances which really make me feel at home. Disappointments as we say are part of life but when a mate broke my trust it was really bad considering what we have gone through it

INJENA is the first wholly owned Malawian Venture. The enterpreneur behind this is MR ROBERT MBALE. I met him when he was busy running up and down with proposals for finacial backing. I got to view it when my then Boss STEVE TAULO told me a bit bout the hurdles he was facing with commercial banks to get the backing.Since moving to Mzuzu near our offices I noticed a structure which was shaping up

Malawi has in rescent months seen an up surge in use of cordless phones. Themodels are all Chinese. The are good because of the following- Ease of installation and getting a line- Its mobile within major city you register- New breed of entrepreneurs ( Used for pay phone ladys)Its not all rosy- Models range from MWK 20000 to MWK 50000.

Of how the British defeated the Germans in Malawi.

ICT is said to be in its infancy in Malawi but in the Northernregion it can be said it has been conceived and injected somehi-growth feed. This can be attributed to factors below:- Openining of Malawi SDNP office in Mzuzu.- Establishment of two Universities in the Northern region ( Mzuni and Livingstonia ).- Establishmnt of the Mzuzu Central hospital- Growth of Ekwendeni ( 20km from Mzuzu)-

As a proud Malawian it pains me that the Northern region has not caught up with the rest of the country 40 plus years of independence have passed. The essential development structures still have some way to go.The popular blame culture is that the is no political will and the fingers point to the Trio who have lead us since independence namely KAMUZU BANDA, BAKILI MULUZI and now BINGU WA

As the indian economy is growing. Malawi is tryin its best not to lose out. My word of caution would be that take it easy. We have a big Indian trading community in our Country and what we need is a careful study before we waste our taxes on a big economy who wont give a foot that we are consuming their products and hosting their brethren.

Listening to a programme on Pensions arround the world especially on Kenya, I reflected on the concerns and issues raised.Concerns:1. Un-employmnet2. The money earned is usually enough for expenses or guarantee you a loan from friends.Issues:1. The pay you get after saving for so long is totally valueless2. Pvt sector vs Public sector its a known fact that the govt cant compete.After all of the

Well the end of another American creation. This man was living in an illusion that he aint touchable but what he forgot that loyal puppies of the west end 6ft under or somewhere miserable once out o favor. My take is that this man will end up like MilosevicThis is also a case of failed African institutions or the lack of them, I thought this man commited them crime on African soil against

I have been hearing this story for a long time in the media and public gatherings. The issue being pips who dont want to honor their part of the bargain that is give to Ceaser wat belongs to Ceaser as some would put it.The classic story is that of pisp who come with that heart touching tale loan proposal.

This year has been good at all in all depatments except from the fact that i give thanks and praise to my God and ancestors for keeping me strong.Work has been a bunch of hell where the normal alphabet has to start at Q.

Well 2005 is gone whats left are reviews and agonies of missed opportunities. Success will definately depend on ones own self objective assesment.Its really kinda crazy that i have to write on the topic above I generally felt that this x-mas has shown to me that most people maybe just in Malawi but the have tended to regard it just as one hell of a party season. Lilongwe on the eve of X-mas was

Well Manga is back i was out on a Holiday. Over the past week i had a chance to reflect on some issues.I wrote bout debt relief, the fact that if i was a Donor nation i would not have given a cent on Debt relief. My reasons are well documented in the post titled "Malawi Debt Relief Nonsense"And during this period i had a chance to read a book called " Capitalist Nigger by CHIKA ONYEANI" At least

Good people I have been thinkin very very hard and my earlier ideas have been reinforced that a country like ours really doesnt need to be forgiven its debt.The rich countries didnt force us to get the debts in the first place, everyone in the poor countries know who stole their money.I could go on as to reasons why this nosense has to stop. We are busy campainging for debt relief but at the end

On the subject above i dont real have nothing to pull back. On Donor Nonsense these bretton Institutions have been prescribing wrong medicine in africa for as long as the have existed. I donno is it that these pple cant employ pple who can formulate a good policy and draw up good guidelines.What has made me rant this is the issue of the Blantyre Contractor Fargo, these blokes were given a

I was perusing through a Dailytimes paper its about a columnist I have just forgotten the name but he writes on ICT type o issues. His latest issue had a part whch commented about the reading culture Malawi.The background is a workshop which was held in Blantyre on books ( smthg like a Fayre) but it was poorly attended this prompted the Sunday Times Columnist to lament the reading culture amongst

The phrase i hv used as the title of my post. Well its easy to say and type it but to deliver is smthg else.I think i ve mentioned in my previous postings that am a JCI-MALAWI member, for about 4 yrs and now hv been entrusted with responsibility to Lead the capital city chapter of this org.

If i was him i would go back to the drawing board consolidate my base. But damn he must hv spent millions of his quid. I jus hop that the will try to get in some peace in that country.

So as u can see its quite a handful.For ma work it's gettin busier by the day with our crew reduced its been hectic but, progress is being made bit by bit.

Well sitting in my office today while doing some work i started reflecting on the signs which show that time waits for no one and somethings just arent fair.four events prompted this post1. A little girl has just passed away. I just feel pity that a young girl who looked forward to life to perish at an age so tender. U then just wonder y u r still breathing and walking around doin ur thing. If u

Its been quite hectic at work and i just cant get to grips that the wknd is around the corner. For one thing i got a hell lot more work to do and the prospect of our team meeting chelsea really sends some chills down my spine.Am a Red Devil ( Man U ) so if you follow soccer u might notice the fact that we arent playin well and our team's confidence is at its lowest.

Well today is a public holiday on our mother land its really cool. My pals who were fasting can now join me in our daily strides. The only prob with this holiday is the fact that it hasnt got an exact date. Thats why I find myself at work when i could have been home catchin up on some sleep , stories and interesting reads.I got the msg when i was already 90% on my way to the office.So my heart

Today has been a very good day in terms of meeting with people who live in our beautiful city in cyberspace.A few notables have been people who expect LL to have a cinema.
