@Njung'e:

Which PLCs do you have?

Njung'e,I will try to think without the box when the owner unlocks it

I mean fundamental analysis,you get me?

Fundamental analysis of a business involves analyzing its financial statements and health,its management and competitive advantages,and its competitors

@Njung'e:

I thought I was an expert,lakini hiyo sija isikia!!!

But 'we' categorise them thus:-

Up to 50 IOs = Micro (or simply Logic Module - Like the Unitronics Jazz)
50 to 200 IOs = Mini
Over 200IOs = Large (Like the Siemens S7-400 that takes about 16,000 IOs)

I guess your Fuji has just a few IOs (about 30). That's why they call it 'compact.'.

I guess you don't have it programming S/W; do you?

@Kabz
Heheee! i've never seen such a misplaced post. You got all those ages WRONG! Fanya research...or better still...you pay me nikupe leakage.Lol

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't..

Mukiha,I tend to disagree abt it being easy to get a foot in the door with NMG....I HAVE been published by them (and Standard and a couple others papers and mags) but once I had an idea for a column - I shared this with the Magazine's editor (and even with one of the editors at the East African who is a long time friend).....now someone else is writing that column. I have an email in my inbox which proves my column idea pre-dated,by at least two months,the commencement of that column - FATHERHOOD 101. With all due respect to whoever writes it now....1)It should have been mine 2)it would be much more amusing and everyone would REALLY relate to it.

Anyway,when I heard the rumours abt impropriety amongs directors/editors/management at nation centre,I asked myself....who do I have to sleep with to get a column done? Right now its better to toss out Saturday Mag,Buzz,Zookq,etc and instead log on to SK. I must say guys,reading these posts,whether its the more weighty and analytical....or the inane...or the hilarious....still makes a far better read - one actually carries away something (knowledge,insights or hurting ribs).



So,I salute SK guys (most of you). Obi Wan...give it a shot eitherway.....you could be lucky.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@Mukiha

I don't think what you suggested will work for me,I don't want to be just another writer,I have something in mind to do with finance,economics etc. I find the current depth of finance literature in our dailies quite wanting. Many people here (Mukiha included) could do a better job.

Plus now that I am away from my family I tend to have some time to myself that I believe could be better used.

The income is secondary at this point,a column in any major newspaper would have synergies with what I currently do and that by itself will enhance my stock.

But are you saying I just mail the write-up to the editor? Will I get feedback either way ama he will pull a Djinn's Fatherhood 101 on me.

By the way I like that column sana,pole Djinn.

I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.

Obi-why not start your own business blog and stick it http://kenyaunlimited.com/feed.php kenyanbloggers' website? I am sure if you have unique business insights,guys will flock there.

.....but if it is contacts you want: NMG group managing editor is Joseph Odindo,Daily Nation's managing editor is Mutuma Mathiu,EastAfrican's managing editor is Ali Zaidi.......

But trust me,these guys want to boost their circulation,therefore if you are not a good writer,they will not print your pieces....even if you are their brother!

That's why BD need's a change of guard right at the top...because the current managing editor does not know what good business writing is all about!!

I'm now convinced that the two are quite different.Mukiha is a PLC major while Jammo is a stocks guru.At least we have learnt something from the thread.You can become a writer first by writing to the Editor and later negotiating for a column,is n't is good?
