Vodafone Uganda saves you the hustle of cutting your SIM card every time you change your phone

Thanks to the new Vodafone Uganda SIM card, it comes in a "3 in 1" format already cut to fit all sizes of SIM card slots.
See the pictures below how the SIM can be assembled to fit all SIM sizes.

Big Ups Vodafone Uganda, this was a good idea.

Am using whatsapp on my laptop - Thanks to BlueStacks Android Apps Player

I got issues with my "whatsapp" app on the phone, my poor Alcatel One Touch phone would freeze whenever i launch whatsapp, even after struggling and succeeding with moving the app to the SD card (How to force move apps to SD - Alcatel One Touch).

I always knew someone must have already developed an app to install whatsapp on the PC but was lazy to search for one, but my friends kept on complaining why am offline and i couldn't continue giving the lame excuse of "my phone is weak", and i was not about to get a new handset (credit cruch in my pockets at the moment :-( ).

So here is the long story in short:

1. Download the BlueStacks Platform to your PC.

Download BlueStacks Platform 

2. Install it and follow the installation steps up to the end.

3. Consider the BlueStack platform as you virtual phone on your PC

BlueStacks Android Apps Player for PCs

4. Link it with your Google App Store/ Play Store and download whatsapp like you would on a normal android phone.

5. The rest is simple, you will need to use the "call me" option instead of the SMS option when linking whatsapp to your phone number because the SMS code will be sent to your phone not the PC.

6. Have fun "whatsapping" from your laptop, i am.

Just bought Yaka from Payway using my VISA card

Another one of those services that leaves you saying "Thank God for Technology".
It's 8:00 PM and am still stuck in office, and the people at home call saying Yaka is finished and they are in total darkness. My quick solution has always been to buy using Airtel or Mobile Money, but this time both my Airtel and MTN mobile money accounts were zero.

So the lazy techie hits google to see if these payway guys have actually added a web payment gateway and the good news is they actually have already integrate web payment. They are using PesaPal API as their payment gateway ...... oops sorry am going into so much details, am sure you landed on this page because you were looking for the same service. so here you go:

1. Access this page using your computer or phone: PAYWAY WEB KIOSK

Payway Web kiosk

2. Fill in the details; Name, Email, Billing Address, Phone Number ..... etc
3. Enter you visa/mastercard details
4. Hit pay 

Buy yaka using VISA

5. Receive the YAKA token in your email or click the "update status" page

6. Have fun

Generate QRC and Barcodes online ready for printing to your products

A friend of mine asked me if i can print for him barcodes to stick to his farm products which he will be selling in supermarkets around Kampala and was willing to pay be about 50 dollars for this work.
But it turns out, i can actually do this for free, apart from the cost of printing on sticker paper and transport and thanks to this online tool.
There are so many i landed on before choosing to work with this but i don't like the other tools; some put watermarks in the barcode, some insert their website names, others insert the word Demo, but this is super clean. Thanks to "Online Barcode Generator"
