Me:

Ghanaian. African. Black. geek, science student/enthusiast. middling coder. linux user. lover of good writing(particularly, but not exclusively, science fiction), good beer, smart, pretty opinionated women, good music, sports(football, boxing, combat sports). Cynical romantic. Sometime martial arts practitioner. In constant state of improvement

The blog:

I have a lot to say. And I have an ego big enough to believe that some of it is worth listening to. Here’s to hoping I’m right

  3. Jennifer, Ghana is home. It definitely has its issues and there is stuff that needs working on, but its also a great place to be.

    JS, I currently work for AITI-KACE.

  6. I think using Ubuntu is a plus. This really made me to sit by my PC and discover something new. What I know (Windows) is close to nothing and I wanna do something useful than boastful. Linux is really helping me. Now I’m using Windows less to Linux coz it’s good to operate at least 2 OS. Experience yourself with linux and pass it on.

  9. Hi, I’m going to Ghana in July (Accra and Kumasi). Could you recommend a couple of ‘must see’ or ‘must do’ things so I don’t go there and return having missed an opportunity of a lifetime?

    Thank ya kindly,

  10. Hmm, that’s a tough one.

    Definitely the forts. Those are hugely disturbing but necessary. Outside of that, The arts center, Nkrumah’s mausoleum, the universities, the arts center, Kakum, the Asantehene’s palace…….

    If anything else comes to mind I’ll add on

    • Hi kwasi, i really like your blog. I have just purchased the domain GhanaGeeks.com and trying to come up with a geek concept for the site.
      My initial thought is to make it an IT forum for all. I will be grateful if you could advise me of any ideas you feel might be useful for such a technology site.

      Thanks

  11. Hi Kwasi,

    My name is Sharon and I’m a student journalist here in Accra. I was wondering if you knew of any comic book stores or local sub-culture areas that would be of interest. I would love a chance to talk to you as well!
    My number is 054 283 7455
    Hope to hear from you soon!

  12. Can you point me to guides on comprehensively optimizing use of low bandwidth ‘net connections?
    … where sophistication is possible, but bandwidth is expensive?

    e.g., tools for smart caching, scheduled prefetching, adaptive/predictive prefetching/caching?, etc?
