WebmastersRe: Nigeria Society Of Website Designer by Cactus(m): 7:11pm On Aug 13, 2007
how did the personal computer really pick up? looking into the history of hacking.


people formed groups to make what we have today come into existence. the good thing about IT is that you should never ever reject any thing or any idea. you will be so surprised to know how people with stupid and ridiculous idea make it today.

it is a crazy world. dont count off anything as being useless or never going to work.
ProgrammingRe: SCDJWS Or SAP - Netweaver 04 Certification. Please Advice Me? by Cactus(m): 8:40pm On Aug 12, 2007
how many certifications are you going to take, new versions of platforms come out and you still will be required to match up to the updated platform and that will probably mean you will also have to take the newer certifications. IT is very volatile. I will not recommend people to take certification exams that is just my opinion

ComputersRe: Tv As Monitor by Cactus(m): 2:55pm On Aug 06, 2007
the resolution on the tv is not a problem it can work fine depending on the type of tv u r using and your graphics card. obviously it will look better on flat screen display than on a tube. so its all what you u have to work with that will determine. if you are going to buy a new tv just for this well you can as well get ea 22inch tv monitor for less than 300 bucks if u r into resolution.

your interpretation of the word CONSTRUCTIVE or CRITICISM may be different from mine. As someone said we should give mild suggestions. well how is mild going to help. It is better to put everything down so you know what you have to deal with and you know what corrections and changes you have to make.

If you cannot handle the opinions of people what they suggest or comment about. well you can as well keep things closed. Whatever people write, either extremely great or extremely bad. everything is good depending on how you accept and what you do to make things better. Hopefully next time a link is submitted, the person involved will already have ideas as what not to do so as not to be given bad comments if you think of it that way.

ProgrammingRe: Web Based Software Vs Standalone Solution by Cactus(m): 12:45am On Aug 01, 2007
yea yea yea obviously web apps are predominant now across all industries. Well what happened when there was an earthquake in asia recently, with underwater cables breaking and taking weeks to repair. Connections to and from china and other asian countries were extremely limited.

If you are entirely dependent on web based application. well it is always adviceable to have a backup plans when something like this happens, datacenter fires, robbery, natural disasters etc that can be damaging to a business. well non-web based applications also have their faults but have less factors to take into consideration before deployment

everything is risk.

I wish the IT industry can be somewhat stable. everyday new things come out it is crazy. though great for development it is really overwhelming. I spend more time looking for the best implementations possible and less time with design.
Tech JobsRe: My Software Can Help Any Bank Save #10bn (ten Billion Naira) In Ten Years! by Cactus(m): 11:49pm On Jul 30, 2007
dswebmas:
dear friends,i got a software(my cbts) that could slash the call rates of major instituitions like banks and conglomerates by 70% per annum.i intend to sell it!its very legal,it offers free teleconferencing,video calling and free voicemail services,etc,please contact me on 08037600752 or dswebmaster2003@yahoo.com if you got any ideas,thanks #landers
you GOT a software not that you created the software, well why would they want to buy from you if the software is already on market. If it is software, what can beat SKYPE, FRING, and one other one with a G i think. SKYPE is proven, tested and has an option for a business implementation. what about original licenses by the maker of the software, what advantage do you have. so why can't they go to the manufacturers and buy directly that is if they don't know. FYI, software alone cannot reduce the cost of teleconferencing. You may have to get better connection, maybe computers for everybody that may need it. So why can't they just tell most employees to install skype and voila there we go. you have to consider infrastructure required. I can pretty much bet its a VOIP. then you have to set up gateways and other things that will be required. so pretty much tending towards changing their architecture or adding to their architecture. If they are adding well that will definitely increase cost of operation. why would they want to change their systems without going through several stages of testing and deployment. what type of support will you provide as it seems you may be a lone man. Have you done businesses with other institutions in different industry. Even with VOIP I am not familiar with the most advanced type of connection in Nigeria, the VOIP system will definitely require a lot of bandwidth if it is deployed in an organisation with different location. Do you have a business outfit or you are a software salesman. are you linked with original manufacturer. Is your software optimised for small business or enterprise environment?

Those are basic things or questions to consider before setting up meetings with a potential client. If what you say is true you have to be thinking of things like that. Starting with a financial institution in my opinion is very very risky. If what you mean will truely work then it is applicable to other businesses. Why not look for a small business that is willing to test and then you can use them as a reference to the success of your implementation. From there things will be easier as you will have a real world reference to a working example.

If this is supposed to be for teleconferencing ONLY, meetings etc, that means maybe only 2 or 3 rooms will be needed and only authorised uses will be required to use the conferencing rooms. That also means they are not reducing cost but adding to what they already have. Well, you will also have to convince business partners to change so they can match the banks system.

What is the use of the system if other companies that do business doesnt have the software you're referring to?

There are so many to think about I can't write all. Try to think of the most ridiculous and absurd questions that could be asked if you go to a meeting. If you can answer them good job if not. THink of another way to get across to them.

Someone last year wanted me to help setup an auction website. Then I asked what advantage do you have over ebay? no answer. Do you have a niche market? no answer. I know most people will say I was asked to helped so why didnt I just do it and get paid. well, in IT the goal is to have your works available for reference so other people can see. The more the better. Not that you work on something now and it disappears tomorrow. not cool men


so what advantage do you have over the likes of Skype, Fring etc?
so have answers available.

RomanceRe: He Loves You But Still Looks At Other Women by Cactus(m): 12:38am On Jul 23, 2007
what is wrong with looking at people, do you want men or women to be walking blindfolded or their eyes on you all the time?

If you are not secured in your relationship or u lack some level or trust, well bad for u tough luck. If you see a pretty person walking well there is absolutely nothing wrong in appreciating the beauty of nature. Looking does not necessarily mean he will go after her or she will go after him and cheat or something.

If you are scared, of your guy or girl, i guess you better have an open line of communication. I just wonder when girls say don't look or don't have female friends to guys. This is absolutely ridiculous.

People will be people, and if u get angry or go crazy just for looking, well u need more maturity.

What is wrong with looking?
what is wrong with having friends of opposite sex?
what is wrong with going out with your friends?
what is wrong with all this crazy mentality?

I have a handful of married female friends, we go to dinner, and nothing happens just as friends.

If you are not comfortable with yourself or being in a relationship, well, quit and live a solo life.

Women also look


Years and years ago am sure men still looked and women also looked and no problem

but when you have mtv, bet, vh1, divorce court and all these crazy tv shows with negative messages, what do you expect. portraying a certain group of people as bad or indecent does not mean everyone in that group does the same, don't make generalisations about people.

I laugh at girls always complaining about something a guy does, going out, with his friends etc.

one thing to always remember is that, he knows his friends longer than he has known you. get a clue, same goes for women.

there is absolutely nothing to be bothered about if both of u in the relationship have a level of understanding.

so can you tell me you have not looked at a guy either just to look at him and be like whao he is cool or in a sexual manner?
ProgrammingRe: Business Objects Connectivity To Oracle Rdb Database Issue by Cactus(m): 2:56am On Jul 22, 2007
extraction or transformation

you can use oracle to extract data from a different db platform

this doesnt seem reasonable when there is a driver in business objects that can connect directly to the other db platform

If you have no driver for business objects for your database, well you can transform the data into oracle or into a flat file and then connect with BO.

unless u dont have a driver, then you can extract

thats what i think

this is not about bad mouthing people or discouraging people. It is meant to help people realize what can be done to improve themselves. FYI do I need to be a web application developer to realize a website is good or bad. did I even mentioned that I am a web developer in THIS THREAD. There are several other areas in the IT one can function effectively, Did I even say that I am in IT in THIS THREAD. anybody these days can be a web application developer regarding the relative ease of getting started. If you see a pretty girl dressed awfully you will cringe.

Its all about presenting a package. pretty girls are looked at more, if you make your site look good, people will commend it.

looking at all the 11 things listed now would you give it a passing grade. there are some things you yourself can do and need to realize when building a web application in terms of presentation and packaging.

why do people praise apple products for packaging and diss microsft packaging style?

your taste is not my taste, and your website is meant for the public so majority of the to visit else , no comment

whao you are so much angry with me now, you can spell my name properly but you can't spell smartsoft's properly (SMARTOFT) twice if i know how to count properly. now am afraid of u.

the way you translate what i write is what you think, others may translate different so its all up in the air, you have your opinions, i do, others do as well i hope. lol

kelechiodo:
Cactus: Constructive criticism means bashing or condeming where possible and at the same time offering solution. The idea is that one is not perfect and that some people are better than you in that aspect. You try to learn from them. So dear, your idea that I should stop designing is laughable and that can never be done.I will equally continue to share the link for others to review.
what surprises me most when people are arguing with someone, when you are going after someone, why do people use words like DEAR, HONEY, and continue with a negative statement. hm i wonder. sounds appealing then a bump on the head. to me that is not logical.

Dude doh people are better than me?
people are better than you

someone is always better than someone else, so your argument is invalid, ERROR, TRY AGAIN, OR SKIP

eh eh eh eh oh oh who says constructive criticism MUST give a solution dude you need reading to do. if u give solution great if you don't greater let the person go figure out lol i prefer letting people go figure out because it enhances personal development instead of SPOONFEEDING some people. oh oh oh, i can also be nice to give solutions that is if i am happy lol

well maybe your first start is try googling. www.google.com if you don't know

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_criticism

this pretty much describes whats going on here ah ah ah L

whao thanks for elaborating on your next project dude, why place an emphasis on RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION, oh ok now i know what to expect for design and presentation i will be looking forward to CONSTRUCTIVELY CRITICIZE. oh my next project is SLEEPING, do you want to criticize my style ah ah ah . remember i did not even write anything about what your site looks like only replied to smartsoft, and the use of marquee, hm i wonder what will be said if i give constructive criticism. hm

always remember, you don't do what you like, you do what you think people will find interesting, so far, from the comments above ennnnnnnnnn, not so good, needs rework in my opinion .

hm did u know 10 year kids pull off better websites than what you have?

if u don't bash people, good or should i say bad for u, remember someone has to always do the bashing, i get a kick from it ah ah ah .

if your clients r satisfied with your work, good for u
WebmastersRe: I Need Constructive Review Of This Site, Please by Cactus(m): 5:08pm On Jul 16, 2007
constructive criticism

your idea of constructive criticism may be different from smartsoft, if what he wrote is what he calls constructive criticism then fine no problem. if you don't want people to bash you and CONDEMN your work, you have three options

1. don't build any websites
2. don't share your links for people to criticize
3. do a very good job

you are looking for criticisms you got them, and now you are bashing the person who criticized your work. wonderful

FYI: marquees suck, there are better ways to present your msg without marquees


read more about user interface design, human computer interaction maybe after that you will have a better sense of direction
