| International Criminal Court (ICC) Website is Down |
| 2012-01-23 03:55:05 |
With so many people in Kenya now anticipation the ruling of the International Criminal Court set to be delivered today 23 January 2012 regarding the Kenya Post Election Violence case of 2008 involving six prominent personalities ; it is instructive to note that the servers of the ICC are down and that one cannot actually access the website.
I have just tried to open the site but i am being met with an error message..."The Server is Too Busy " and "Service Unavailable" .It is interesting to note that this according to my experience has never happened before despite there having been several international high profile cases at the Hague .The Kenyan situation is generating massive interest internationally perhaps due to the fact that two of the persons in the Ocampo suspects list have declared their interest in running for the Presidency in Kenya after the term of the current President expires (2012-13).In my fair opinion the ICC servers should be capable of handling su...

| Kenya Defense Forces and Al Shabaab Twitter Wars |
| 2012-01-14 00:58:25 |
Here is a reprint of an article i have written on GlobalVoices Online regarding propaganda and social media wars between Kenya's Armed Defense Forces(KDF) and Al Shabaab especially with reference to a recent Twitter spat that resulted in a retraction by the Kenya Military official spokes person Major E Chepchirchir.
Kenya's military incursion into Somalia against the militant group Al Shabaab dubbed "Operation Linda Nchi" (Swahili for "Operation Defend the Country") has turned into Twitter war. This came after the official military spokesperson Major E ChirChir going by the Twitter handle @MajorEChirchir posted old photos claiming that a Kenyan Al Shabaab recruit had been stoned to death recently by the group members because of "a difference of opinion". Image of the now deleted tweet can be seen at this here
It later became apparent that the photos were actually taken by a Somalian journalist in 2009 and does not even feature a Kenyan Al Shabab recruit. The Kenyan military s...

| Finding a Credible Translation Agency Online |
| 2011-12-16 04:06:20 |
A friend has just inquired on where he could get a suitable translation and interpretation agency.That inquiry has led me to find out that doing so through a search online may not just yield the best results.Well its true that a simple search will yield dozens of results, but the question often is are they credible,will they yield the intended result?and who really has the time to sift through agencies through trial and error?
As a client often we have different needs and technical requirements when it comes to translation or interpretation .It seems easy to just use Google translate but in practice i have found out that different online translation services translate the same literary work differently with ambiguous meaning and obviously there is no proof reading for such web portals so you cannot completely rely on that. I would recommend Rosetta Worldwide translation services .
Although based in London they have a Worlwide appeal due to several reasons.First they cater to clients ...
