CampuSMS @ Lafayette, officially!

So after going live @ Lafayette College once, and seeing we had some major flaws, we took CampuSMS off the Lafayette homepage. Now, after a couple of months of working on the back-end and a little bit of front-end tweaking, Lafayette's gone live again with our service! For folks who don't know what CampuSMS is, it's a project to help stimulate the use of text messages on college campus communities. We're trying to help student and faculty groups get the word out faster, through a medium everyone seems to be using on an individual-to-indvidual basis already: SMS. We're also hoping that businesses surrounding campuses - in Lafayette's case, places like Cosmic Cup, Campus Pizza, Milo's, Wawa, etc. - will want to use CampuSMS to communicate any special offers, promos and events to the college studnets/faculty.

Ban Ki-moon in Tanzania

United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon will be in Tanzania today, addressing the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in Arusha. This will be the first time the South Korean UN Secretary General will visit the Tribunal since he took up his post in October 2006, and the Tribunal itself is the first body to interpret the definition of Genocide set forth by the Geneva Conventions in 1948. More about the issues anticipated to be discussed on this Daily News Tanzania article . Above photo from this website .

Blog updates

What a glorious sunny day in New York! Made some quick changes to my blog... you'll see that I took off the navbar links that used to be at the top and put 'em to the right-hand side. Also added two news feeds to the right panel, both from BBC: One is the BBC world news front-page, and the other is Africa-specific. I'm hoping to make this blog and my twitter page places of frequent updates, and revamp my homepage to reflect ongoing, bigger projects such as Vijana FM, CampuSMS, music and web development. More updates will ensue in coming months. Ciao for now!
