A Family Safari
I’ve set up random images in the header. I might make a load more over the next few days, but there are 4 for now, all including Tommy in there somewhere. Let me know which ones you like, or if you’d rather I went back to the original picture of Tommy on the beach.
So, as you might have guessed from my earlier post about ADSL price hikes here in Kenya, I was mightily aggrieved at the time. I decided to send a version of my blog post to The Register to see if they were interested in the story. As it happens, they weren’t particularly, but they did get back to me with the following email:
Hello David.
Apologies for taking so long to get back to you.
Your tip is interesting, but I don’t think it is / was newsworthy for readers outside your country.
FYI we have approx. 4m readers a month - 75 per cent in US, UK and Canada. Around 10K readers a month hail from Kenya.
Best wishes

It’s interesting to know that so many Kenyans read this technology website. I was quite impressed by this figure.
FlickrInspector is a handy little tool for finding out who’s linking to your photographs on Flickr.
Wow, more Mobile computer classrooms (MIU)… Somehow I missed a project run by Sun Microsystems. There’s not a lot about it on the page i found here and all the links are dead, however it seems fairly recent (0705 in the link could mean July 05?). I’ve emailed and will post more when I know more. Having said that, I’ve just found this link at Sun about the project expanding into Paraguay. Hmm, maybe I should persue this further.
UPDATE: The project is running and the page I linked to has been fixed. Here are a couple of links to videos of the “Sun Ray Bus”:
