My babe Niece

My big brother got married last weekend on the 27th April, 2008. I can't believe! At times growing is wack. Brothers and sisters leave the family to begin there'res and things can never be the same.
Ges a few years ago, we were celebrating the mother's wedding to this little girl and now, she was later born and now has grown up and dancing on the uncles wedding, funny hey.
She is four and she saying hello to u all.

Hello Hello

I have been away for too too long, LIFE!
To begin with, I went back to school for the second part of my fourth year, wrote my exams and now am in my fifth and final year. I can't wait to finish.
I'll be having my final year courses and a new room mate, hope all goes well.
This year I have a project to research on and three presentations. My project is on vehicle Tracking. There are so many methods of doing it, but i prefer a method that most people would benefit from if i compare with the economy of zambia, I think it will be interesting.
Not much has happened of late, met one or two new friends, was one of the bridemaids on my brother's wedding, i enjoyed it, more especially when dancing salsa and other general dances.
Then i was one of the lucky ones to work for Communications Authority of Zambia (CAZ).
Il tell you more in my next blog.
Most of all i wanted to say hello after a long time, I had been so so busy
Enjoy life.
Stay blessed!

UNZA GROUP

I should say i would like to thank everyone that made it possible for us to be in Macha. Our Dean Dr Wamukwamba, HOD Mr. Nyoyi, The Director of Linknet Mr Van stam and Mr. Jonathan Beckens, the Linknet students and the entire Vision community for their hospitality.

We managed to finish our program of Networking where we had concentrated on the wireless part and the Linksys system. We also did A+ courses with the local students such as the Internet, the connections made, security systems, Care for PC's and Laptops, other topics in IT.

We travelled back safely and i would say our flight back was wonderful.

May God bless them all.

Unexpexted Fairwell Party

Having had such a tiresome week, Mr Jonathan Beckens , our teacher and members of staff of Macha vision community center organized a graduation party for their students and UNZA farewell party. It was so lovely and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We were called somewhere around 19hours of which we all met at the restaurant at the community center. There was beautiful food, dancing and speeches. It was awesome. It finished somewhere around 22:30 hrs.I thank them all for such a beautiful evening.

Final Project

Hallo!
Am fine just winding up everything.Last week was so busy that i had no time to blog but to work and work. We went to Macha Mission Hospital to survey the routers and their locations which made two routers from the ten, not to communicate with each other. Was tiresome but we managed. We noticed that in our places of interest, there were so many trees blocking the signals and the walls were too many and thick. We recommended that by putting an extra router midway between our places of interest would help solve the problem. This was somewhere near the TB Room. The trees couldn't be cut down as this would affect shelter meant for visitors and patients. Field work involved measuring distances, knowing where the routers were placed and determine the distances in between them and finally by using the Link Budget.
Upon surveying the place and doing the link budgets, we analyzed the situation and come with with a report, both on hard copy (Microsoft word) and power point.
On friday, Dr wakuwambwa our DEAN, Mr Njoyi our HOD, and our senior lecturer came to Macha for the Graduation Day for the LITA students (LINKNET STUDENTS). We also presented our final project report we undertook last week at the Mission Hospital. Was a beautiful day.

UNZA

This is a place I can say I will miss. Different people grouped together following different cultures and behaviours. Many people wonder why we misbehave, as they would call it. Sometimes we do it for fun, to be noticed, when we are broke and we need the government to do something. Silly hey, we call it life!
First year and second were Bad, but now am a big girl and able to handle pressure. At one time during VIVAS, as we would call them, a can of tear gas dropped in my room and thank God nobody was in there. For the next two weeks my room was the most smelly room around the block. The pressure i would get from school, missing good movies at arcades during exam times, being innocently chased by the police and cursing them, the monks passing funny comments, all that will be missed.
I would go on and on and complain about our biggest university in the country but one thing for sure is that it has made me acquire knowledge and above all meet good people i may call friends. I love my school precisely school of engineering. So love your school. it is the reason why you are what you have become.
During this week we were learning about Behaviors of radio waves, huygens' principle, fresnel zones, link budget (which simply means how much the equipment costs and specifications, wheather or not your transmission will work depending on several factors like transmission power, sensitivity(ability to speak and hear) , cable loss, free space loss, Antenna gain. All these help to calculate the signal.
When Radio waves travel through air they produce fresnel zones.The higher the frequency, the higher it is absorbed. As a practical example we made a link budget. This afternoon we have a project somewhere in the hospital. There are about 10 routers in the hospital and two of them are not communicating with each other. Our main job for today is to find causes for this and to make a link budget and see if the solutions we will discover will work. We are going to use mesh networking and the software being used is called Freifunk software.
Over the weekend, We have been invited to the Lwindi ceremony practiced by the Tongas. Its an overview of their culture and traditional dances. I can't wait.

Happiness and Stress

Wow, today has been stressful. Been trying to log on to the web i opened for myself that is biddykams.multiply.com unfortunetly i forgot my password. Tried to use forgot your password service and guess what, the email is not being received in my in box. Spent like almost an hour. I felt so tired.
But then again i thought, Is it that am not happy today and thats why am forgetting things or what? Then i thought, the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they simply make the most of everything that comes along their way.
When you have friends, it adds value to your lives. Have friends to build you up, to show you things, to help you, to share life's greatest gifts.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who have searched, and for those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When I was born, I was crying and everyone around me was smiling. Lets live our lives so that when we die, you and I will be the ones smiling and everyone around us will be crying.
So lets be happy and put on a smile everyday. Life is too short.
