Google Why You No Have a Google Drive Client for Linux?

Create and Collaborate

Good morning to all. Before KPLC decided to force me to turn in early yesterday (ever notice that when it rains there is always a blackout? But I digress) Google had just launched Google Drive. I and some fellow Linux users and enthusiasts had nothing to smile about because Google Drive has no client for Linux although it has clients for Windows and Mac. Is this a way to show disregard for the Kernel they use? I’m a Google fan boy but I was so disappointed when I found out that Google had left Linux out. When I say left out I do not mean completely because you can still access it over your browser but having a dedicated desktop client is better especially if you have a notification or something. I know some of you are wondering what I’m talking about but I know some  understand. I’m just trying to cause some out cry and maybe twist Google’s arm into making a client for Linux. If you are a Linux user Ubuntu specifically you can try to port it as OMG Ubuntu!  has Suggested here is the link [How To] Access Google Drive Via Nautilus in Ubuntu . In the mean time we wait and see. After reading this please share. Try and have a good day.

Google Commemorates Jamhuri Day with a Doodle!

Hello Guys (This includes you ladies)

Following my daily routine of waking up and switching on the computer, I chanced upon today’s Google Doodle which as you can see is celebrating Jamhuri day. Yes Kenya Turns 48 today whoop, whoop but do we really have anything to be happy about. 

I’m just from the supermarket and I got a reminder of the dire situation in our beloved Kenya. Everything is expensive and what I could buy with 2k last year at this time is far more than what I bought today.

But today lets not complain be happy that you are alive and that you have seen this day. Now to the real reason why Google has a Kenyan Doodle that is a mystery or are they trying to cozy into the Kenyan Tech Scene I don’t know but one thing is for sure, I love the Doodle and I love Kenya!

Have a Great Afternoon people.

The average time it takes for a customer to get connected is 3 – 4 weeks up from the previous 3-4 days (there is this one guy on twitter who claims to have been on the waiting list for wait for it…… 3 months) Im lucky its been only 2 weeks. If they need help with their social media they can hire me to help(seriously) NB: Im currently between jobs(read jobless)
Mr ZUKU CEO please do something.
UPDATE: I was told that ZUKU outsources its Install and repairs.

ACCESS KENYA

Hey people of late I have used the access Kenya dedicated links and oooh my they are fast and reliable. But I can see your faces and I know what you are thinking what about the price? Well they are fair for a dedicated link. And yes we do offer support. Here’s the deal your company pays a Deposit (refundable) then its installed for you then you can upgrade if you feel the need to. The best thing about the corporate Access links is that they are super reliable. Contact me on my blog on the comments or on twitter @mojo706 or on facebook XrisEugene thanks looking forward to helping you.

PHP

this is to all you PHP gurus (Im assuming that there is one or many among you) I need a few lessons on renaming a picture once it is uploaded to my forum site. Anyone is welcome to answer and any feedback is higly appreciated. The script should (hopefully) rename an uploaded profile picture by adding a number or a letter before or after the actual picture name.

Hello world!

After looking around for local content I found out that we had little or nothing to offer in Kenya. So as a Technologist(term doesnt exist) I decided to start my own blog to help myself and others understand the various programming languages plus web development tips and tricks.
