Going around Nairobi’s estates you would see a stark difference in how things are managed and the outcome of it. I am talking about waste disposal and its management. Do the poor care less about the environment compared to their rich counterparts? Are they the busier lot, are they less affected by the waste lying around? These and many others are the questions that me and many others would ask ourselves. Though this should not [...]

A few days ago I was at the celebration of 100 years of Chevrolet in production and it was really a fun event. So much fun that there were two sub-events that happened while at it. Everything went fine I must say. Till the two Chevrolets were launched. I must admit I fell in love with the Chev Cruze, its a sleek car and I love cars that shape, Cruze complements that so much, cruze [...]

Some while ago I and some other bloggers had a meeting called by Raphael Tuju, at the Laico Regency. I was eager to write this but apparently I have been a busy person and this post has faced a huge dose of procrastination. Well, better half loaf, right? Meeting up with this man was a “different” experience. You see, three presidential candidates have asked to meet tweeps and bloggers. The Prime Minister met up with [...]

I recently blogged about blogging on free domains and the necessary move to self hosted blogging. I know it takes alot of energy, lemme try to visualize it. A domain is 1200(atleast thats what we charge at Infoken for TLDs, except .ke domains that go for 2900bob), hosting starts from as low as 1k, that depends on your traffic and files you upload in your server. We go with the 1200+1000=2200 per year. What will [...]

This is an interview I recently has with Albert Mucunguzi of PC tech Magazine of Uganda. Martin Gicheru is a web developer with Infoken Solutions, and a blogger at Techweez.com. I have grown a passion for developing using CMSes like WordPress, Joomla, Magento and Drupal. At Techweez, which I started, I cover mobile reviews, tech events and sometimes take time to research the tech industry and write opinion analysis. A few months ago I was employed [...]

As i write this I ponder what makes a good blogger. I have been in the field for a year and a half, that does not make me a proffesional blogger, does it? Sijakula chumvi. I thought I would list out what, according to me are our failures, what we could work on to get a successful blogging future. Are our Bloggers making money? Kenyan blog scene is growing at a positive rate, and with [...]

I had a long day today, started abit earlier than usual. Bet you know by now that I am a late sleeper and a later riser. I decided to oppose those metrics we were taught in school, “early to bed, early to rise bla bla bla ….”. You wouldnt blame me, not many of my teachers would be called righ, so I try to coin my own theory. Sleep as much as you can, give [...]

I had dreamt of this day for a long time, want me to tell you my age? Well come ask me. So suddenly am a year older, and closer to my thirties! Sadly this will pass just like any other day, thanx to the very busy schedule I have today. I thank God for taking me this far, thank you God. I thank my friends for being there with me, new friends, facebook friends, tweeps, [...]
