Dot TK - Renaming the internet

Articles, Blogging, General, Web March 14th, 2007

Malo ni, ko toku igoa ko
Yashvin


lol, dont worry, am not swearing at u !
its simply the Tokelauan Language

English translation is : Hello, my name is Yashvin…


What is this Tokelau???

Tokelau consists of 3 large atolls 480 km north of Western Samoa
(dont ask me, i dont know either where it is found !)



Unnecessary
to say, but it is far from where you are.
Far away, far from home, unless you live in Tokelau, of course. To get to
Tokelau you need a 37 hrs boat trip from Apia, West Samoa.
This is the only way to get there (see map)

 

Some Facts

Capital city

none

Population

1500

Time

11 hours behind GMT

Land Area

12 sq km (4.7 sq miles)

Number of atolls

3

Languages Spoken

Tokelauan, English and
Samoan


So wat is the Dok
TK Project
???




To be brief, in order to

  • enable communication with
    the whole world,
  • promote education
  • facilitate medical
    purposes

only the internet can help because of the island’s
location.

The project is about funding the installation of internet infrastructures on
the island.
Currently the island has a 384 kbps downstream and 64 kbps upstream Internet
connection and the aim of the project is to reach a  full duplex 512 kbps
Internet satellite link to the group of islands.
Other costs include the maintainance of the system.


[a satellite dish found on the island]



How does the Project help???


The money obtained from banner and sale of  .tk domains is used to
finance the project

So, how can u
help???

simply by buying .tk domains or registering for free .tk domains from www.dot.tk ,
just like me, who has been using .tk domains for more than 2yrs!

Advantages???

U can have a short url (www.myblog.tk) to point directly to ur site or blog,
instead of having a long link like http://www.freesite.co.uk/myblog/

Faka Fetai (thank you)

nomadlife Newsletter, my edition….

About Me, Academics, Articles, Blogging, Fun, General, Nomad, Technology March 11th, 2007

lol, i think that i will also make my own newsletter :D
i cant live without nomad…am sure a lot of you have understood this…

so, nomadlife newsletter is at its 2nd issue and its second logo..
i think they are planning to change their logo monthly

according to the interview of the CEO of Navini Networks,
WiMax (the technology which nomad uses) is THE technology [...]

Sure, i dont deny this bcoz it works (perfectly well, i suppose) in over 50 commercial networks in the 6 continents.
BUT i dont think that the strategy nomad is using here is working to the expectation of their customers (unsatisfied?) and bounded to 1 yr contract.

Another truc which attacted my attraction, lol,
was on the nomad portal…

Their servers are fast, no doubt
bcoz they work even when u got no connection to any other sites
since they are local & directly on same network as nomad users

ya, for those who dont want to spend their money paying Mauritius Telecom for the endless minutes, waiting for the customer care ( i do salute some of their staff), try to use Nomad Assistant.
“Seems” it solves some of your problems

Some days back, i finally got a visit from a nomad technician(D…..), who was supposed to come about 2 weeks before!

  • He came at home
  • Found no problems (since i changed my modem)
  • Told me that i should have reported that i got no more problems
  • mone rince li akoz li siposer come 2 weeks before!
  • in addition to that, he dared to treat another nomad techician (A…,a friend of mine) as “la monnaie zetter”.
    I immediately reported him!
    affaire a suivre
  • he went away nearly in anger, n
  • told me “politely” to “faire compliments to camarade”

another step which nomad made forward(?) is the upgrade of their forum, some days back it seems and ‘par hasard’, i was passing by…

the admins there didnt find it useful to link the old topics to the new forum,
perhaps because they were all saturated with problems faced by nomad?
lets hope our posts do not dissapear after moderation, at least they cant moderate my post here :D

Gifts!

Watch Out, nomad is giving away gifts in its newsletter!!!!

  • nomad pendrive
  • nomad photo frame
  • pictures obtained from the “monthly issue” sent to me every month :P, so i think i can publish them wiz no problems koz i am paying for getting them!

Hope the customer care will be able to solve the problems faces with those pen drives and photo frames, haha…

Did u liked my first newsletter ? :D

My New Web Cam

About Me, Articles, Blogging, Fun, General, Leisure, Technology March 7th, 2007

Got a new web cam ( ViewCamPro from A4Tech Video 350pixel & Image 1.3MP) as gift!

it is something that many of u have got but lol, i like this one very much!
compared to the web cam function of my digital camera!

this one, does not requires any additional source of light n the image is perfectly clear…

the other great features of the web cam are the various frames and image effects that can be added while recording video or even chatting !

Chatting wiz Vicks, who wished to see a strip tease live :P hahaha!
