Essential Safety
The Western Digital ‘My Book Essential’ is a 1 TerraByte(!) external hard-disk for you to safeguard all your company data, movies and music, and a lot more. Once you’ve offloaded your critical information onto this extra fast disk, simply disconnect it and put it away in your safe, or take it off-site for extra safety.
Not just any external drive, this one comes with 256-bit encryption built in, a fast USB2.0 connection to your computer and WD-SmartWare software, which allows for automatic, continuous 
backup of your valuable data. And to ensure you never run out of space, it has an illuminated capacity gauge on the front, showing you the amount of space remaining on the drive.
Available for Windows and Mac, at our store…

A projector in your pocket
New in our portfolio, for the travelling professional: a pocket sized (pico) projector from the quality brand 3M. The 3M Mpro110 Micro Professional Projector, as it says on the box, projects presentations, files, photos and movies on any (white) surface of up to 46″, from the palm of your hand!
Running from an AC-adapter, or for up to one full hour of it’s internal battery, it accepts video from any VGA (it displays up to 640×480 resolution though it accepts 1024×786) or Composite video signal. That means your laptop, iPod, video recorder, etc…
Thanks to the fact that these micro projectors utilise a high-performance LED light as opposed to the common halogen lights, there’s hardly any heat generated during operation and the projected ‘lamp-life’ is over 20,000 hours. By the time the lamp fails, this projector will be obsolete!
If you’re visiting travel shows carrying your laptop, off to convince a client on the benefits of your approach, why not carry your personal cinema with you! Come to our office for a quick demonstration and see if this is something for you…

The Kiswahili Workstation
Internationalization, also referred to as i18n, is the process of translating an application into a different language. Here in East-Africa, we have of-course been eagerly awaiting the process of translating the mainly Enlish language based applications and operating systems, into Kiswahili.
With the dawn of Open Source software in East-Africa, thanks to the growing communities involved, translation has over the past few years taken a good step forward. Whereas Microsoft had been dragging its heels for years, soon after fully Kiswahili versions of OpenOffice.org and FireFox Web-browser became available (see below) Microsoft announced a Kiswahili Office. Though the latter was costly, cumbersome and badly translated, and as such failed. So what is available today? Read the rest of this entry »

Prey – Open source computer theft protection
It is something we all fear; coming into the office in the morning to find out your workstation, or server, was stolen during the night. Or leaving your laptop unattended for mere seconds only to find out it’s disappeared. Apart from the costs of replacing your stolen computer hardware, there’s the company data that’s now out on the street. (You’ll be feeling a lot better if you encrypted that data though – we’ll be adding an article on the excellent Open Source encryption solution called TrueCrypt soon…)
Gone forever? It might be. But in case the thief does not immediately formats the hard-disk but instead uses the laptop or PC anywhere it’s connected to the internet, there’s a number of services that actually track and locate your stolen equipment, using IP addresses and more. There’s LocateMyLaptop, LocateLaptop, and so on (read the WikiPedia article on this). Trouble with all these, is that they are subscription (and European/US) based. Read the rest of this entry »
