@nitation,

yea.

Anyone noticed what happened to google on the 31st of january?
google's website kept reporting "Warning: Visiting this site may harm your computer! " for every search result

those are supposed to be the internet giants making silly mistakes
also read some months back about avast antivirus forum been hacl<ed => http://news.softpedia.com/news/Avast-Forum-soiled-Users-At-Risk-70378.shtml

imagine it is yahoo wallet 2mrrw, the internet is never safe.

@webdezzi

You are very correct! Nothing is safe online (internet). I was reading a blog recently about flaws in DNS. I was astonished as to what became the outcome of this huge vulnerability. If name service is contagious, then the internet is not worth visiting (in my dreamz anyways).

Folks, stuff is happening out there that is not visible to most People.

NB: IF YOU HAVE COME ACROSS ANYTHING LIKE XP-POLICE ON YOUR COMPUTER. BEWARE IT IS A MALWARE!!!

Maintain your flow
Flow is a psychological state that you get into when you’re absorbed in your work (sportsmen call it being “in the zone”).  Have you ever gotten really into your work, so much so that suddenly an hour has passed without you noticing?  That’s flow!  In this state, you tend to be very productive and very focused on the task at hand.  Therefore, you want to try to stay in this state for as much of the time as possible.  It can take as much as 15 minutes to get into the flow, so it’s important to minimise things that will pull you out of the flow (once you’re out, that’s 15 minutes largely wasted).  That means try to avoid distractions, turn off the e-mail alert beep, listen to music to block out background noise, turn off your web browser.  Whatever it takes!

Nice advice you guys. I would say i'm a beginner and would like to know how much attention a programmer should say to memory management & also if necessary how memory could be efficiently managed. Also does long line of codes mean more use of memory?

nitation, Thanks for maintaining the flow. i love that

@poster, remember to give honour to whom it is due

@fatezy
it depends on the task at hand.
an example is selecting * from table when you can actually select id where something=this
then you hold all that in memory.

I once got hooked to a situation where i was left with the option of holding close to 5megs of data in memory throughout the lifetime of my application, and keep comparing it with what we have in the database, so if both dont match, do something.

thats an example of poor memory management.

Your long script is not the issue but the actions performed by your script.

It also does amaze me how some nairalanders make assumptions and claim to be mind readers.

@nitation - so many ppl believe i am a client-sided developer(javascript/ajax coder), not quite true - i can code equally well on both client sided and server sided environment (just that i am not sure if i can write css codes as much as yawa), and cannot seem to use DW as much as webdezzi - but i am still tryin too - you will find my site on www.mwebng.net

Just tryin to get along with the flow (programming flow - great way to describe it - i call it inspirational flow).

And yawa, as alwayz have made sensible posts - i have alwayz been motivated by her posts for years (some things never change)

@dhtml

Good to know that. At this junction, i don't think i wanna know more than what you have explained.

Ride on and keep doing what you enjoy best. As for moa, am more on the back-end and security aspect of programming.

dhtml,

It's called "typecasting".  It's like seeing Nkem Owoh in a romantic movie.  Having been typecast as a comedian, if you are like me, you probably won't watch such a movie.  Likewise, you have typecast yourself as a javascript developer.

What will help you will be more than what even izal has to offer   Tongue

You probably need to lay low for while.  For one though, as long as your tutorials proliferate (and I am not saying there is anything wrong with them), it only solidifies the typecasting  Wink
