Thus Spaketh Idd Salim

You think you know me

It is about time.

In my times and travels, I have met alot of people, under different circumstances. Most people have drawn impressions about me from one or 2 posts in this blog and stuck to it. After I sit down with some, most always say : ‘Wow! You are more than your blog made me think.’

Thus is the negative aspect of the concept of blink.

For example, without analysis or a chance to explain myself, a section of Safaricom thinks I am a vicious hacker after Mpesa and I know alot of secrets about the hackability of the Mpesa system. Unfortunately, this is the section that makes some key decisions. And thus, IddSalim and ANYONE affiliated to IddSalim is not allowed to have/access/operate or own a Safaricom Mpesa PayBill Account.

Another more un-paranoid section of Safaricom see me as a thinker and a resource; albeit what one described as ‘Strongly Opinionated and Employable’.

Most Jamaas describe me as just a coder, a hacker, a vbHater, a gunner, anti-windows, a crazy techie, a Plain-clothes CID Officer (My Pool Cuestick is always confused with a Gun), a pool addict, a member of the NSIS, a loaded jamaa, a blogger, a PIMP, a player, a kadinyaa, a USD-500-per-hour code-machine. All wrongly; because of perception. Some I don’t mind. Some don’t help at all.

And thus, the time cometh

So comes the separation. I have considered various options and decided to follow the cummulative advise of Kachwanya, Too, Buju, Afrowave and Inkalimeva.

For the open-minded, light-hearted and not-easily-offended audience (I get over 5000 blog read per day – 150+ unique locations), I will maintain the /blog/ section. This section you are reading now. To access this section, you will need to pass a sijamishwangi-haraka test. Lest a paranoid stock-broker reads about Salim speaking about all the security vulnerabilities of the new Stock Brokerage system.

For the ‘serious’ people, I will create a /blog2/ section. Here we will talk about tech pekee. Technology, concepts, trends etc. No nipple-talk here. No sick puns or ‘innocent’ jests/jokes. Mambo serious pekee.

Then the site. I have hired one of the best upcoming photographers in town to handle this. Pictures, editing and layout. Step in Abdul. Then we have the combination of beauty, booty and brains from Sprint-Interactive to do the new iddsalim.com site.

Finaly, an OOS (Object Oriented Salim). Bambo Mzuka.

Back to code…

Wazi.
