you cant satisfy everyone. anything that involves building flash = automatic no regardless of how much money I may receive. Though I can charge more for the work and do the job properly, I would not want to break my head. Getting a static/dynamic website done is easy to change update etc. Getting through 75% of the work in flash and client requesting for things to be changed, I cant handle that. |
whao, i wish i could easily turn a picture to a website. they only placed a picture. I hope they never intended to automagically make the picture work and make sales? http://www.nigerianfilms.com/images/index.jpg looking at the designed by site, wserve's site and their portfolio, they do decent jobs. If the nigerianfilms and wserve are still working together, possibly not yet finished, or disagreement about something so wserve decided to pull their work or something crazy must have happened |
@afam, good call lol I definitely know that guardian will never reply my email as to why they published even though it might be paid for. But in case they do reply, will post their response and of course i know that they may be reading this post also eh eh eh. |
This is absolutely pathetic, probably the worst implementation I have seen. how can a site like this make it into guardian newspaper. website = http://www.setlin.com/ admin = http://setlin.com/admin/ (pretty much broken links) the entire site is full of broken links and yet it made it to guardian, news link below. I wonder who would want to do business with a company/people like this. (copyright 2005) eh eh Click on the forum icon on setlin.com and look at the dates for the messages posted or link directly to their forum page here http://www.setlinservices.com/. These guys are time travelers. sample Musicians Are Prophet, how true? 2029-11-07 Look at the number of people logged in to the forum as at my viewing, Forums (-1297) Users Logged in -1297 people logged in. at the bottom of the page, you can see the link to admin log in, click on it and you are asked to log in or link directly admin login http://www.setlinservices.com/admin/adminlogin.php well, of course we can keep guessing the user name and password. but why would you want to stress when you can see the admin content using this link just by removing the adminlogin.php. enjoy admin page http://www.setlinservices.com/admin/ click on viewallusers.php to see user list, then click on update to get the usernames and passwords eh eh eh stupid people. looking at the passwords for a couple of the people registered, they all start with SET, this definitely tells me they injected the registered information. or had a script to randomly pick usernames and generate passwords to fill their database. I tried updating a password, it showed me a confirmation message as updated but the record was not updated i guess there is a restriction somewhere Definitely there are many things wrong with the site, just stopped checking. guardian news link, also emailed this stuff to them and a word doc containing screenshots [url]http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/compulife/article13//indexn3_html?pdate=190308&ptitle=New%20Internet%20market%20research%20tool%20debuts&cpdate=220308[/url] May post screenshots later if there are broken links Setlin.com Domain Name: SETLIN.COM Registrant: Delsoft Limited 55, Coker Road Ilupeju, Lagos NG Phone: 234-1-4931480 Fax: 234-1-4931481 Record expires on 14-Nov-2009 Record created on 14-Nov-2001 Database last updated on 16-Sep-2007 networksolutions of all hosting companies, HORRIBLE |
This will most likely fade easily. To be realistic, though some measure of regulations is required, I personally believe this is a waste of effort. Considering the socio-economic status, how many people will be willing to cough up the huge price it takes to license softwares/services provided by these multinationals like adobe? than feed themselves. I know a someone who is the IT architect of an internationally recorgnized organization in nigeria. Though the organisation can pay for licenses to cover their software requirements, he still looks for bootlegs. Bluntly = not going to work. If they cannot control torrent leaks, key generators from well established cracking groups, How can they do anything of substantial impact in nigeria? |
You think it is silly because your assumption is that everyone is familiar with the concept of domain registration and hosting. There are some people working in Information Technology and they dont know what is involved in bringing a website to live. Apparently, you do not know how to take care of your clients. If you laugh at them for being stupid, well I dont know what to say. First rule always assume your clients dont know anything about web dev. It is your responsibility to try as much as possible to cover all the details and make sure everyone understands what is going on. |

This is stale |
*conundrum |
before - it is not my design now - i never intended to host that desigin meaning it is your design. So which one is the answer, your design + you never intended to host it not your design + you never intended to host it |
you can force your daughter, to go to church but you cant force her to listen. So what is the use of forcing her if you cant make her listen? daydreaming |
rubbish read what you wrote previoiusly and read what you wrote recently does it make sense? i cant read only 2 lines, i read everything so i can understand |
Gamine quotes "Rate this my design, abeg" « on: January 30, 2008, 10:52 PM » ", its just hypothetical never evn intended to host it without broadband, i know it wont work so i will keep practicing! Smiley, " « #6 on: January 31, 2008, 12:12 PM » rate this my design = rate this your work Never even intended to host it = You never intended to host it = it is your work I will keep practicing = you will keep practicing your designs And now you are saying Gamine:when people say you did good, I like your design, you dump, see you as an enterntainment, etc you never denied it was your work you thanked them for the feedback. If that is the case, why don't you say when people like my2cents, webdezzi, etc referred to the design as your work, why didnt you tell them it is not your design that you will never do something like that. All of a sudden you are abandoning your first work. what a shame Why stress people to comment on something that you claim is not yours now? Why not tell the person that did it to post it? Why did you previously try to defend the design if it is not yours? Why are you now denying it is not your work? Why is it that when people said your work is good, you never said it was not your design you said thank you? So who did the designs? Are you backing down for your work? If you are convinced your work is good, stand tall for your work and never say it is another person's work, be proud of your work. |
my2cents:Anything that is written in response is fair game so are my comments. Sorry I don't know where you are going with that. Can you explain? lol. "the weaker sex" in comparison to what? Intelligence, character, charisma, leadership? I don't know what you mean. mambenanje:Hm, you are on a product development team, you get the product done and you start marketing because you think it is good enough. Why do people go into private beta testing? Crash testing for cars and other forms of testing. Cars go out to public, problems arise and recalls are made. Money lost, more time wasted so many problems arise. Likewise, bad design/implementation = discontented visitors and many of them will never come back to your site if you actually implement that design. You are aiming for perfection which is reasonably not possible but the closer you get to perfection the better for you so as not to make any losses. The most recent classic example, Qtrax, well i guess they are going under, if you downloaded their software, you will know what am talking about regardless if they actually provided the service as described. My advice, join a beta testing group, forum whatever. Your goal is to find the WORST CASE SCENARIO and prevent that from happening. If you do not solve the issued posed by the worst thing that could happen, you will end up going back to the drawing board, doing damage control just like car recalls. You can't foresee everything that is why you are asking for people's feedback. Of course it is up to the person to accept what he/she wants to accept. So what is the use of asking people for their opinion if you are only looking to accept what you like? You already know what you like and you really don't care about what people say. Am I a designer you asked. hmmm hold on I need to think wait, Do I need to be a designer to know which type of user-interface is user-friendly? I don't expect perfection immediately except you are a savant. At least this is not the first time. Personal growth and development is an on-going process. No matter what you do, there will always be someone better than you and me. As you wish you can always disregard my comments, however take into consideration uspry's comments in looking for ways to develop as a designer if that is your path. Find something you are comfortable with and do that to develop ways to conceptualize and implement. You may not have to enroll in a program you can read by yourself if you can do it. uspry1: |
my2cents:my2cents = ", especially considering she is of the weaker sex, " Can you teach me how to criticize? hm I am thinking how can i criticize the right way? Oh that reminds me, i criticize the wrong way no wonder people don't like simon corwell. If a pot is red, will you say hm it does not look red but a little bit of maroon and brown? Just write what it is instead of wasting time, because the person criticizing will still ask question as to why. except of course there are some language skills issues with the parties involved. If you consider the feminine gender a weaker gender, so what is the fight for equality of both men and women? Men, women, i say what i want to say so deal with it. So, what you mean is that, I can say tougher things to a guy and lesser to a girl ba? Do you think she will consider herself weaker? I hope she answers that question then I can give her props for that Gamine:If i say i have german friends, does that mean i speak german? likewise, turkish, korean, japanese. if i know people from non-english speaking countries, Does that mean I speak all the languages? Well, I wish though because it will be a great accomplishment. However, that is one thing you got correct. good job I give you one point. I am self-teaching myself mandarin. Oh in regards to the kitchen knife sorry to disappoint you but I don't cook so i don't need a knife. sorry to burst your bubble again. though u got something right this time at least. What are you doing for valentine's day Gamine? Would you like to go out to dinner? Dont worry your name sounds like Garmin so it will be easy for me to find you |
Gamine:Do you know how to read? Do you know what lack of focus mean? I guess not because I wrote, placement of items off and you wrote placement off, so i guess you don't know how to read properly. so get a clue. Oh by the way, the pit is not deep enough. Will look for a lake tomorrow or jump off the Bay Bridge. Do you want me to translate into a different language for your understanding because as i can see you are having difficulty with comprehension. Let me know what language you want it translated to, and if i am not familiar with that language, i will look for someone to help me out so you can have a better understanding I hope that is not your pic on the page cos it looks like one of my chinese friends though she is cuter than the person in the pic, i could have given the person pts but not up to par |
waste of time none is good |
Gamine:thank you very much, will do so sometime today. It is just painful to look at I am glad i use tinted lenses that removes some degree of shock and awe to my eye. lack of focus, too many colors, placement of items is soooooooooooooooooooooooo off. try again. in the mean time i will go out and look for a pit. well at least i wont be able to make people weep because of the poor work i do as my existence will no longer be felt. |
-10 sucks like crap |
seun001:It is said americans landed man on the moon, in the 1960s, why havent they sent anybody back to the moon since then? The technology is way better than what was available then. The next scheduled date for moon landing = around 2020. that is after about 60years?. doesnt that tell you something? Even if it not a manned moon mission. Oh yea i heard some dumb excuse that blueprint for spaceship used previously are missing. well Regardless of what the design was back then. Any spaceship that is built now will be way better than what was supposed to be used. |
ehe h i love lagos aerial pic by mahal (had to cut a little). Also keep in mind as indicated by mahal, the image were taken with a cellular phone's camera so i decided to include some other aerials i have taken. Lagos air looks so clean

Picture = smaller file size, short time to take, less prep work, easy printing, lasts longer considering printed material (maybe shorter processing), quick result Video = smaller file size, need, dvd or player to show people if no internet connection is available. video format may be outdated. locked drive, spoilt media. so many things to think about |
the story regarding the carton used in making food was dispelled as a disgruntled employee in a chinese newspaper came up with the story and circulated it around. In regards to skinning of cats, yes that is definitely possible. I have seen videos of dogs being skinned in china though on fortunate, ,what can you do? With the economical influence china has on the global economy, many displeasing news, rumours will continue to circulate. many people in the western world have some sort of phobia towards china. but guess what, these same people consume goods and services provided by the chinese economy. Taking USA for instance. if all the production of goods are done in USA, how many americans will be able to afford things they are buying now? Though the chinese business model brings about cheap goods, it is also shorthanding chinese employees making these goods. A good documentary to watch is called BLUE JEANS. about girls working in a blue jeans manufacturing factory. link to google video, I definitely recommend it, download and share with friends enlightening. Even if you hate china, it is a good watch. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=321727527393238859&q=blue+jeans+china&total=38&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1 We can say all we want about china, but each country has its own unique problem. Though what is happening in china is unfortunate and heartbreaking, keep in mind the number of people in china and standard of living. So why would a chinese bakery factory make extremely cheap bread. COMPETITION. with large number of factories like this, each person would like to get some business to sustain its operations regardless if it is making huge profit margin. The difference between western and china business is that in the western culture, companies what huge profit margins, china = quantity of order, the more the better for them. Obviously salary for workers is very very low, some making about 800yuan per month roughly about 100$, supporting family. It is a crazy world we have to survive one way or the other, the way i choose to sustain myself may not be pleasing to you, but i am still alive. Shout all you want, say all things bad against china, it is not going to stop any time soon. that is simply the situation. Until solid economic reforms are in place with accountability, nothing will change. China is going through what korea and japan went through when those countries were developing their economy. Compare to when absolute communism was in place, it is a better place now. We also have our own problems. |
download sopcast from sopcast.org look for channel 41168 at towards the bottom. you can watch all games i believe |
onilanre:what u have there is not readable (i.e chinese lang) Anything that is not readable = Mandarin? Or is this just being ignorant? I will not make any comments about the files you mentioned, |
tolonisede:Your keyword ONLY is obviously incorrect, there are many services out there that provide free websites, sub domains, sub directories, maybe ad supported. |
Career First Relationship Second It is possible for the woman or guy in the relationship to say no more i want out. Career is ur life. lol no need to advice it is obvious |

I must say especially considering she is of the weaker sex, the above comment was uncalled for. Besides, we need to stick to the issues, otherwise how can we learn? Your comments though frank and truthful could have been said another way. I don't like the design but I have said so without actually saying so.
