ihebrooke:

You chose the part of the post that suits you. Did you not see the part that states that centres for such charging of batteries exist.

I can see that no other reason/advice makes sense to you apart from your 'inverter'

dammytosh:

That is totally not true. I am a programmer and all what you type is not a factor in being a good programmer. It has nothing to do with it.

If I may ask,what type of debugging crashes laptop ?

Gabriel_sylar: hahahaha I was just being sarcastik dawg lol

all4naija: How did you know the centers are available in his area? You expected him to incur more expenses from transporting down to charging centers and pay for charging as well. Maybe after doing that for three months he would have know how frustrating it is. Please, prescribe something reasonable not this very unwelcoming idea.

codebrew85: Good day all, I just started learning programming and PHCN is not helping at all with their epileptic power supply in my area. My laptop's battery doesn't last more than 3hrs. The lack of steady power supply is really pushing me to the edge but I don't want to get discouraged. Please can you suggest an alternative power supply that I can use and I don't mean gen set. There's this device that INEC officials used during the election- a rechargeable battery that lasts upto 6hrs. Does anyone know where I can get to buy it? Thanks all, as I await your response. Mod, please front page.

codebrew85: Please, do I need to scream to get a response?

omotayokay:

is he living in a farm that there wont be chargin centres around?
Hw much is #50 daily that he wont be able to afford daily....to charge a battery that lasts 10hrs at that.
I prefer the INEC battery to any other alternatives

Wise_old_man:

Try debugging a backdoor tro_jan...lol

all4naija: I don't think it worth the effort. After spending money to by batteries he will again spend money to charge them, waste some time and energy to get there waiting for them to fully charge. You like stress man!

Why not take the easy way out by buying portable solar charger for laptops?!

omotayokay:
Dont you fuel ur generators after buying it....
lol, you and ur solar charger! Ok, how much is it and how does it work?

ihebrooke: You can get the Inec batteries for 7500. That's what its being sold for in Imo state.

You can purchase like three of it. You should device a means of having at least one of them charged each day.

ihebrooke:

If you read his post well, he stated that there is epileptic power supply in his place. How do others that reside in the area charge their phones, laptops?
Do they transport themselves to places to do the charging?
Does the poster live in isolated areas? Doesn't he have neighbours, friends?
You dont have money to buy a generator set, you also want to achieve a set goal, will you be ashamed of making a simple request(Bros, abeg help me charge this battery)?

Mr , it is the poster's choice, not yours.
He should choose any of the advices that suits him.
Since yours is the most "reasonable" idea, he might as well go for it.

Mtchew.

all4naija: Good and trusted product would cost $300 and with out other cost in the future. It's stress free and can as well be used for other gadgets in the home.

ghettodreamz:

Na wa 4 you oooo. I was actually thinking the opinion you suggested wouldn't cost him much, but with what you just wrote then your opinion won't work for the OP. If he can't afford buying a generating set which he can get a good medium-sized one for as low as 23k and you are here suggesting him to buy something worth 300 bucks. Where do you expect him to come up with that? Abeg, help him with a realistic suggestion that would help solve his immediate problem at the same time, within his capital and financial budget/reach.

all4naija: How is he going to be possible to charge them when there is no electricity for like three or more days?

all4naija: How is he going to be possible to charge them when there is no electricity for like three or more days?

all4naija: After converting Dollar to Naira, the 300 would be =N=47,085.00 for life(a trusted and good product). But generator cost =N= 23,ooo.oo and fueling it and repair might accumulation cost well above 5 times in a year to manage.

If he can afford to purchase an air and noise polluting gadget like small generator for 23k then he can strive to double the money for solar charger for better result. On the long run the portable solar charger for laptops would benefit him. Not only for laptops it can as well serve other purpose.

piouson: Dunno how you're studying programming, but GET A BOOK (not eBook) if you haven't already, a BIG NOTE, and you're still having fun studying while you wait for power!!!!

afam4eva: THis is the reason why i considered moving out of the country. You can't be at your best as a programmer if you keep worrying about electricity.

informatix: I am a programmer infact one of the Best in Nigeria. I learn how to program with a Laptop whose power doesnt Last for 1munite. I strongly DON'T agree power is a boundary in leraning programming.
A serious programmer should be able to know where to get 24hours light.cafe,bizcenter,govt. Office. I once travelled 150km to get a condusive environment to Start Apache tomcat version4 using java virtual machine.

I wrote programs in java,vb6,vb.net,sql.,php.asp,javascript.

I also wrote java server side programs in servlet.

A java program regarding ur comment.

import java.io.*;

class naija{
public Static void main(String args[]){

Bufferedreader input=new Bufferedreader(New Inputstreamreader(System.read());
System.out.print("I dont believe power shortage is a boundary to learning how to program";

System.out.print("what do u think?";
ans=input.readLine();
System.out.println(" you said"+ans);
