ProgrammingRe: Vb.net 2008 And Mysql by bb6xt(m): 3:47pm On May 29, 2012
It is possible. Install odbc connector for mysql, goto control panel/admistrative tools/odbc and create a system DSN(i.e. Datasource name) using d odbc connector n ur mysql creds. In ur vs:
[code]
'import d odbc namespace frm system
Dim c as OdbcConnection
Dim cStr As String = 'Dsn=MyDsn'
Dim cmd As OdbcCommand

c = New OdbcConnection(cStr)
cmd = New OdbcCommand()
cmd.CommandText = 'update tbl set foo=bar'
c.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
c.Close()
[code]

ekt_bear: CSV, JSON, etc tend to be more friendly formats for sharing data.
I'll take JSON any day, over any other serialization format!

BusinessRe: How Do I Buy Nigerian Stocks From Outside The Country? by bb6xt(m): 3:36pm On Jun 26, 2009
Hi pheebs,

Your best bet would be through a trusted relative or friend living in Nigeria. This is the setup: you will need to open an account
(i.e. the CSCS account) with the Central Securities Clearing System (www.cscsnigerialtd.com) through a reputable stockbroking firm. Some very good firms allow you to download the relevant forms(such as the mandate form) on their site. After the forms have been completed you can mail it to your contact to take to the stockbroker. In the future some firms might begin accepting payment online but am not sure if that is in existence now.

I recommend using a trusted contact on the ground because of the incidence of unexecuted mandates that is unfortunately prevalent. Your contact will provide the follow up which may or may not be necessary. If you have substantial amounts to invest you will likely get better treatment from the firms such as access to a dedicated advicer with whom you deal without need for a third party.

ProgrammingRe: Which Professional Certification Is Good 4 A Computer Science Fresh Graduate? by bb6xt(m): 1:55pm On Jun 26, 2009
Hi,

There are many professional certification tracks one can follow in the field of computer science but the right one altimately depends on your career objectives. The Nigerian Computer Society(http://www.ncs-ng.org/) registers Nigerian computer professionals. For specialized certifications you will need to choose between three(3) general areas viz:

1. Networking
2. Database
3. Programming

If you choose Networking you can't do worse than to choose the CCNA which stands for Cisco Certified Network Associate. This is the first of many certifications offered by Cisco, and what's more, Cisco technologies are the dominant network technologies in use in Nigeria today and CCNA holders are in high demand in banks, government agencies, telecoms you name it. You need to be at home with dealing with technologies at the Transport, Network, Datalink, and Physical Layers of the OSI reference model though.

Secondly, you might want to go along the line of Database Administration. Here the main database providers are Microsoft, Oracle and MySQL and each of them have certification programs in their respective technologies. By far the most popular are OCA (i.e. Oracle Certified Associate, the first level in Oracle) and Microsoft Certified DBA.

Finally, and most interesting is Programming. You can choose any programming language to major in. The most popular ones are Visual Basic, Java, C#, PHP/MySQL and C++. Any good IT training center such as NIIT, APTECH, DBI etc can train you in any of these languages. I will recommend Visual Basic.NET. It is a robust Object Oriented Programming(OOP) language with easy to use syntax. I can be used for developing cutting-edge business applications, games, web database applications and most any other application you can think of.

I hope I have been of help to you.

ComputersRe: House Beware Of Raila Odinga Virus by bb6xt(m): 2:07pm On Sep 25, 2008
Still having sleepless n8ts with Odinga? I eat it for breakfast!!!
I'll concede that raila odinga is quite a nuisance but goodnews is it can easily be fixed now.
1. GOTO http://www.net-studio.org to download "Raila Fix.zip"
2. Extract it to your desktop using either WINRAR or WINZIP or any other extractor
3. Connect any USB flash drive that has been infested to your system
4. Restart your system (in safe mode by pressing F8 during bootup for best result)
5. Doubleclick the Raila fix icon on your desktop
6. Check the option "Remove Raila Odinga from removeable drive"
7. Restart your system normally. You may leave the raila odinga files as sourvenir but they can't do you any harm!

Option B
Install Bit Defender Total Security 2009 Trial Version or the full version and you are free from Odinga FOR LIFE!!!
