I use netbeans as well. But hey. It takes too long to load. For me oooo!

Yea. Eclipse too. They're large IDEs and they depend on several components to work. And they're free.

If only these rulers can get sensible often, the world would be better.

Jregz:
that editor is too ugly

Yea. I prefer Eclipse's interface, or even Netbeans'.
The original notepad theme would be better with all the needed features.

Thanks for the insight.

I know him to a good extent; facebook,twitter,skype,phone numbers, real names,company name and most of his personal website and I have a copy of the agreement he sent to me as well.

He is my friend on the social networks I mentioned.

Always keep your relationships away from your job. In matters like this, let your diction be professional and strictly so.

Below is a Lil story to what I stated earlier

[color=#883333]After the project was concluded, he requested to be paid a monthly maintenance fee which was not in the agreement, after much deliberation we decided to be paying him a monthly stipend, though I was very much aware that he was not doing anything.

A month came when his payment didn't come as agreed, there was about 6days delay. Withing this 6days, he sent an email to my boss and I, threatening to shut down the website if he didn't get his payment in 24hrs and this is an E-commerce website which has not even gotten one successful order - which he is aware of, bt he is only interested in his pay.[/color]

That's it. He wants job security, a steady stream of passive income. Autopilot income. Does your company have a legal department? Your lawyer should have intervened at this point. Instead of paying him for those months, a lawyer would have received that money and kicked him out for good.

To cut the story short, we only paid for that month and told him that we will discontinue the payment to avoid such threat to the infant business.

Meanwhile the website has been running very smoothly without the so-called maintenance for the past 3 months.

Since then, he started acting up and recently refused giving me full access to the hosting account.

The thing is, we started off as a friend and I gave him this job base on the relationship I had with him. I convinced my boss that he can handle the work. This is somebody I accommodated a lot of mess from during the course of the project. A project that was meant to be concluded within 2 months, ended up in almost 7months.

Feedback pls.

Thanks.

I don't know much about legal matters, but I think you can file a lawsuit in this case. Try negotiating with him. Write him letters to make him see reasons you should have the source codes. Have some of these discussions with in the presence of your lawyer and have copies of your correspondence for evidence. If he remains adamant, offer to pay him a token for the codes, and have this offer recorded. Make it about 20 - 30% of what you paid him. If all attempts at negotiation fail, sue him. If you win the case, he should be paying for damages, real and punitive, done to your business. Yes, his actions are disrupting your business administration.
Btw, did your agreement state who has ownership of the codes?

I think the guy's speculating a job there: he wants to maintain the site and have you pay him. If under your agreement the source codes belong to you, then you are free to use legal action. Given that you've made full payment, it's all yours. And if he refuses to yield, he too is yours
But do you know any other thing about him? Oh, you've not met him before? Talk about freelance. Do you have any valid identification of him? His portfolio, facebook, phone numbers, real names? Do you have a copy of the agreement you signed?

Finally!!! Sum1 who..... *nah, 4get it*

~smiles~

You're on point Sir... Got 'pitch perfect' on ma laptop... Cool stuffs. Reminded me of a young accapella group back in my Junior high/sec schl days called 'da Exodus'... Boyyyy, they were good.
Pitch Perfect is just wat it is... Perfect!!! And in Pentatonix, we have a 'hell' of a group... But uhm... Have any1 here heard of anoda outstanding accapella grp called 'THE VOCA PEOPLE'?

The vocal people. I've watched one of their videos. They're truly good.

The images are blurry. But they look like attempts at the question. You got a remainder of 4, so it's not a factor.

Thanks Dmayor7. Nickzom's nice. I wanted to do a project like that. I don't have enough skill yet.
Some problems can be solved better by humans.
There's a problem I have on logarithms:
An expression whose terms are raised to powers expressed as logarithms, with each term's power being a logarithm expression in a different base.
I may post it later when the OP's problem's solved.

I have problems with polynomials. Did you say 'x = -1' is a root (in your first question)? Using: f(x) / g(x) = q(x) + R; R equaled 4 when I tried 'x = -1'. GuiltSpark343, can you help us?

HFOG:
Try it without looking at answers. No peeking otherwise you'll ruin it!!!!

1) Pick your Favorite number between 1 - 9

2) Multiply by 3 then

3) Add 3, then again multiply by 3 (I'll wait while you get the calculator....)

4) You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number....

5) Add the digits together

Now scroll down..........................
















Now with that number see who your ROLE MODEL
is from the list below :


1. Einstein





2. Nelson Mandela






3. Jacob Zuma






4. Tom Cruise






5. Bill Gates






6. Gandhi






7. Brad Pitt






8. Hitler






9. HFOG





10. Barack Obama




I know.....I just have that effect on people....one day you too can be like me.......... :-) Believe it!


PS.....Stop picking different numbers.

I am your idol, just deal with it!!!!


HA HA!!!

Any of the numbers used gives 9. Kudos. See you at the top.

HFOG:
Why am I finding it hard to believe you? Quoting is different from believing, you know?

In the multitude of words...
Your faith isn't in the writings of man, but in the words of Jesus.
If angels teach otherwise, let them be accursed; if any man teach otherwise, let him be accursed.

Joavid:
Hell No.

Consider Germany.

I thought so. I've thought about these but it's not happening soon so it's mostly wishes. Australia, Israel (these guys are very reserved though), Germany, Ireland and Norway. Just wishes anyway.
Nigeria first.

What about Russia? Is it a good place to study (despite language constraints)?

If I were a lawyer, I'd be happy filing lawsuits against you and making your life terrible. The indictments would be fun to watch. If I worked with the CID, I'd gladly stalk you to insanity. Quit immediately. That's my suggestion.
Btw, I don't see how someone would scam me via an e-commerce site. Maybe by stealing debit card details?

Nigeria needs to build a strong relationship with the BRICS while it's still early.

Joavid:
People inherit intelligence?
Orishirishi!
Sukkot, evilbrain1, craigston how true?

It's as true as a cat begets a kitten. But should the kitten be tamed as a pet, you've have, at best, a mouse trap for a cat.
Genetics, environment, health and nutrition, diseases and accidents, education, spirituality and other factors affect intelligence.

Sukkot, I would suggest you understand that man is a composite of several elements on different planes of existence. The mysterious workings of the soul, which I acknowledge, cannot totally undermine the various necessities of the body. An attempt at that is a disaster.

Does visiual studio runs java codes??

I've not seen Java in visual studio. It runs c++, c#, javascript and some other languages.

Adesege:
+1 there.

Netbeans developers are what i call the Adobe Inc in the making. Why i said that is cos of their well structured interface, easy accessiblity and how intuitive the IDE is. Though in every aspect, their PHP Editor is next to nothing beside a Dreamweaver CC but i think their Java IDE will or maybe should be superior to Eclipse IDE.

Netbeans is yet to get it right with PHP. I hope they do so.

Netbeans allows you to point to your jdk during installation: it'll save you some stress there. I like the two IDEs.
PS: has anyone tried Visual Studio? I'm thinking of that.

Fulaman198:
Thanks Craigston, I'll allow you to handle this.

Thanks too. It seems it's not a Java problem. I've had this problem before.

You're having a problem of missing files needed by the application. I believe you downloaded Eclipse IDE as a .zip archive, unzipped it and copied the files to your system. Maybe you didn't copy all the files (they're important--all of them). Maybe you copied only the executable file? Just copy the original .zip archive to your computer, extract it into a separate folder and leave it that way (you may delete the .zip archive when you're done) and create a shortcut to the Eclipse executable file.

There are
bound to be strong protests when these
increases are implemented and this
may be one of the reasons why NERC
has finally accepted that the issuance of
estimated bills by DISCOs must be
swiftly brought to an end.
NERC has recently acknowledged that
the DISCOs are not doing enough to
provide meters for their unmetered
customers. NERC indicated that
although the Credited Advanced
Payment for Meter Implementation,
CAPMI, was introduced such that
customers can provide DISCOs with
funds for the acquisition of meters, the
DISCOs have not shown enough
commitment to providing their
customers with meters.
NERC therefore proposes to issue an
order stipulating the maximum amount
any unmetered customer would pay to
the DISCO that provides him/her
electricity services. I believe that an
estimated bill should not exceed
200kWh in a month and if the DISCO
believes the customer uses more than
200kWh per month, the DISCO should
as a priority provide the customer with
a meter.

The maximum cost of power per kWh, as stated by the summarized lies above, is about N18.50. Let's assume we are paying N20.00 per kWh, and on an unmetered consumption, the NERC fixes the maximum consumption possible at 200kWh. This implies that the maximum anyone without a meter should pay, monthly, under the mentioned DISCOs, is N4,000. Should any ladder-wielding human ask for more, under the mentioned DISCOs, you are free to react lawfully and proportionately.

Well, not sure where to start looking.
I have deleted the current version and downloaded the old version. No solution yet

Check if this can help. Google for similar problems and observe how they solved the problems. I've not used winbox so I don't really know much.

Good news for them.

please u can go ahead and recommend the books for me,thanks.

For a start, check these:
Angular JavaScript in 60 minutes - Ish Dan Wahlin
Beginning JSON
O'Reilly: AJAX - The Definitive Guide
These will help you along the way. Google for more.

Thanks for the elaborate introductory explanation, and for the linked resources, Dmayor7. You've done well. Again, thanks.

I have a few questions to ask, some you may find a little unrelated to the topic but are important to me.

Is hotels.ng a tax-paying organisation? If it is, how would you suggest new startups that aren't financially healthy yet deal with taxes?

I have some ideas that seem to be good and would like to carry them out but for the fact that I'm still a greenhorn. What skills and knowledge sets would you recommend I acquire before considering launching into the deep?

Would you recommend I work in another startup in a similar field to get much experience before building my own boat?

Have you had any difficulty with local laws and cultural differences across the nation? How do you plan to make accommodations for such differences and what would you advise a beginner to take note of concerning this?

How did you overcome, or manage, the challenge of energy/power supply? It's really crippling some aspirants in some parts of this nation.

Aside your business strategies, do you subscribe to any ideology on achieving success, especially financially, by ways believed to be of divine significance? Such theories as giving, paying of religious rites and sacrifices (offerings, tithes, first-fruit offerings, etc) and prayers? Have they helped you in running hotels.ng?

I may ask more questions later. Thanks for this thread: it's a good deed you've done. I admire your work so far and you deserve the credit. I wish you success as much as you can desire.

Please Friends, How Can I Create A "Single Page Website" i nid a reply,thanks.

If you're good at self-teaching, I can recommend a few books to help you (denying all liabilities). I'm not an expert in any way but I think I saw some books on that, and I think they are good books.

Brb although I don't know C. This problem is interesting.

I am glad how you answered the question...

Sincerely speaking you did a gentlemanly job...

next thing he wld call u is Hacker .. as if his website is Jumia or Konga , i was willing to help him too ...

Hehehehehehehehehehe
Op try cooperate na. U know say ur boss dey burn fuel to maintain that site; him no go smile with you at all.
Btw, don't you have measures to restore your site fully should it get compromised? No back ups and other security essentials? Wetin u dey fear na? I know some platforms allow more than one site moderator to fix those issues with only one admin to access the cpanel. So, if you have such privilege, create a moderator account with adequate permissions and let someone access the dashboard and fix your stuff. Then delete the account when you're done. Don't worry, your boss won't find out.
