I prefer staying away from cross apps, they're unpredictable and harder to manage than pure os.

yeap

Everyone knows that the ONLY thing that nairaland has is DATA. If you scrap the DATA and reconstruct a better nairaland, that is like the beginning of the end.
This is why the GODS are scared!!!

@Superstar007 and @nijabazaar are elligible to join still, as we have not officially started until 8:00 pm.

Answer wetin o?

I believe that since the competition has not officially kicked off, that will be wednesday, people can still join.

@0r30, you have made very good points indeed, let us be looking at kicking off by next week wednesday evening 8:00 pm. At least people suppose don come back from work by that time.

wait, what are the issues?

The competition will kick off by saturday morning 8:00 am. DHTML, please post the link to the documentation of the API by 8:00 tomorrow and give us room to ask questions in case there are issues with the API.

Great that you have solved it. I will also use this opportunity to chip in a few things:

1. For developers, try to use simple directory structures.
2. Use simple naming conventions e.g. if you are like me, just name your files with lowercase and be consistent with it. Or name your files with camelCase - and require it that way.

Many developers enter a jam for this, see this:

+ index.php
+ Head.php
+ Foot.php


inside index.php, you now do this
include 'head.php';
include 'foot.php';

This will work on windows and mac, but by the time you get to a live server e.g. linux, you will start getting file not found, and start wondering if it is your village people that are chasing you.

I don wake dey go be that.
