@my2cents ,
na fight ?? abe take it easy on naijafan. i think what he meant on the yahoo issue is that the web not as theoretical as you made it sound.( i agree with him) and to prove that, he mentioned yahoo., try to do a css check on google and see how many errors it will return.
my point
the goal of every website should be to delight the user, and not rigidly follow laid out plans. (although some of those rules were designed to delight the user) finally, please do me a favor, dont yapp me in ur reply.

@timmy,
no vex, but its my opinion, i've checked convenant site, but i still maintain that babcockuni.edu.ng is the best website in nigeria, one more time, no vex.

very high level inspiration

@my 2 cents ,

i must confess, you're really really really observant, nice one. but i actually checked out all the sites on this link http://www.nigeriagalleria.com/Educational/Universities/ before coming to my conclusion. and when i say "best website" i mean design , functionality and quality of information (in that order) . i agree that abti has a nice design, but im sure you'll agree with me that when it comes to appropriateness (as an educational website ) we'll give it to babcock. , a committee has been set up to look into your observations .

does ur website audit compay have a url we can look at?? .

Guys, check out http://www.babcockuni.edu.ng i think its the best nigerian university website. let me knw what you think about the site, and if you have a better site, drop the link

moreover, i recently saw in one of the dailies that interswitch currently has about 4million card holders , so u knw what that means ,

what an interesting topic,  here's an ex·cerpt from a chat conversation i had with a friend. im shollsman, and xterxone's nairaland id is iam_seun


Shollsman: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-19769.0.html
Shollsman: tell me what u think about the topic

xterzone: that is interesting, funny enough: iv never bared taught resource on it, but d guy kind of has a point, /

Shollsman: but na the users dey create the link to the advertisers

xterzone: i think its ol about differentiating users from customers, /

Shollsman: did u see the guy that talked about toys, the customer might seem like the parent that bought the toy, but its actually the baby, thats y toy shops are always loyal to children and their ads targeted to them

xterzone: users consume, customers pay,  a customer can (or m ay not be a customer), d manufacturer however values both users n customers, because either drives, brings, or generates revenue, /
xterzone: the parent in that case is d customer, d baby d user, /
xterzone: if u buy a book 4 yourself: you're d customer n user, /
xterzone: again: one customer can generate many users, n stimulate many buyers to become customers n generally increase d revenue base of the manufacturer, /
xterzone: for example:
xterzone: if u buy a book (you're d customer n user), u give mi n ezra 2 read(we both become users too), we like d book n decide 2 own a copy too, when we get our copies(we both each become customers) n d chain of spread continues, /

Shollsman: simple qquestion. .who is the customer for a skuul? the parent or the student ??

xterzone: d parent, /


xterzone: wot d forum question borders on in my own mind is ds: "we all so often confuse users(benefactors) n customers"
xterzone: let mi refine wot i said earlier:
xterzone: its a case for distinction between customer n end-user, /
xterzone: end-user(s), i mean, /

Shollsman: okay  i get,  who should you be loyal to, the customer or the user ??

xterzone: that is a controversial question, /
xterzone: i will however answer looking at d ground 2 avoid any pithole, /
xterzone: Manufacturers r smart n work n base deir overall marketing strategy on human behavioural pattern n physcology, /
xterzone: like i earlier said: Both Customers n End-user(s) drive sales, /
xterzone: So my answer, /
xterzone: Manufacturers r loyal not to Customers or End-Users, /
xterzone: But to:
xterzone: ANYTHING DAT DRIVE SALES, /

Shollsman: okay,  last question,  who should u be more loyal to,  the customer or the end user ??

xterzone: ANYTHING DAT DRIVE SALES, /
xterzone: Anything or Anyone or any condition or any innovative marketing, beta put, /
xterzone: if making a clown doll will make children happy(AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DRIVE SALES), then lets produce it in large quantities n act like we love children so much, /

easiest: visual basic / coldfusion

hardest: JAVA

guys, another feature worth noting about Coldfusion is the fact that 75 out of the fortune 100 companies use coldfusion , in nigeria, companies like Schlumberger, Accessbank and FCMB use coldfusion, so, CF's got a lot of future in the corporate world.

well, as for me i think Coldfusion is better for a lot of reasons. most php fanatics will say php hostin is cheap, but you can get Coldfusion hosting of 1000mb for as low as 24$ / 3500naira per annum (http://www.ucvhost.com/cfmx_hosting.htm). here are my reason's for sayin CF wins, they are FACTS which i can prove and i stand to be corrected

- less code
- neater and cleaner presentation
- awesome integration with PDF's and SWF's
- tag based (easy to learn, if u knw html, then u are a potential cf developer)
- built in charting,
- built in XML integration ,
- built in , read n write to registry,
- execute programs and batch files on the server,
- POP mail retrieval
- session management (PHP session management uses the filesystem which is slow and lacks flexibility)

please let me knw what you think.

safe

Meehn, firstly, i would like to knw if the shut down was a planned maintenance or a system failure? if it was a planned mainenance, why werent the forum members duely informed? if it was a system failure, whats the probability that it wont happen again? if it was neither of the 2 , what was it??

actually, forget the grammer, i think failure is inevitable, just make sure it goes unnoticed next time

safe!
