kayjegs: It could be real, who says it cant be real. Moreso, I dont know if it is photshopped or not, but trying to check if theere are ripples or not around the crocodile is mere misleading. As a Zoologist, a croc can even remain still just like that, and when it also moves, you may not see ripples like you think you would see. Because of their body shape and scales, they dont make any disturbance when moving in water. You cant know if a fish is swimming just beneath a water surface because of the shape and scales as well.
With incessant floodings and so on, animals are being displaced. We have had cases of reptiles especially of turtles that have been displaced, so who says this isnt possible. And mind you, there are crocs in those areas..Benue, Kaduna, Oyo State and so on. So dont just doubt it. But we need another witness anyway....

jude33084: If Ɣ☺Ʊ think crocodile creats ripple when moving in water, Ɣ☺Ʊ better be joking

That's how τhey surprise their prey

Even if the croc stays still for a long time, as long as there are wave patterns the waves are bound to hit against the body of the still croc and break pattern.
Look at the wave patterns, that body of water isn't absolutely still so you can see the waves. The wave pattern around the croc in that pic is continuous around the croc like the croc wasn't even there.

This is not real.

Ok its beginning to look like I have something personal against these guys but nothing really... I am just stating my reviews of a service provider.

First, thanks Leonard for making an apology on the other thread to your customers.
And thanks again for showing some care and notifying us when you were going down very briefly for a fix.

Now back to my issue.
This evening I was on my way back from the office, with all the frustrations from the different traffic jams and reckless road users... then I got a mail from Eyowo (Do not try to use your mobile devices while driving, its bad ).

Let me just paste the mail here (afterall no terms of service on Eyowo.com telling me what I can and can't do)
=======
Good Afternoon,

We apologize for the off moments we had. Below are the details of failed transactions that would not be remitted.

Dirty UnSettled Transactions for qb2inhg Merchant: TruDigits
eyowo-475-2631 - amount: 3500 - 2012-09-21 12:55:34 - 61: Exceeds+Withdrawal+Limit
Total dirty amount NOT settled to merchant qb2inhg = 3500
======

Okay that's it... first I was like... what on earth is a "dirty" transaction? Well I mailed them and Eyowo was nice enough to call... thanks... this is taking support to a new level, keep it up with your remaining customers.

Well it turns out that because of a bug on Eyowo, transactions which are declined by the main switch for the "exceeds withdrawal limit" error are passed by Eyowo as clean transactions. So the person paying on Eyowo's gateway does not get debited but Eyowo sends a callback request to the merchant site saying the transaction was successful and the merchant receives the money in his wallet.


So for this scenario a customer pays for webhosting(domain reg included) on TruDigits using Eyowo, the switch bounces his transaction and does not debit his account but Eyowo goes on to see the transaction as successful and then sends the successful payment callback to TruDigits and TruDigits goes on to automatically register the domain and provide the webhosting ordered for. This is my logical conclusion.

This all happened last week Friday (afternoon) and now Eyowo is informing me 3 business days later that the transaction was "dirty" and so that amount will not be remitted to me in my settlements... in other words, I have lost 3,500 (no big deal abi?).

Okay, I understand... the person's account was not debitted so it is just simply asking the person to PLEASE pay the 3,500 that Eyowo had a problem that saw his transaction as successful when it wasn't actually.

But really... what kind of child's play is that? I should start chasing a client around for 3,500 Naira when I have already fullfilled their order? What clause in TruDigits' Terms of Service will form the basis for this? What clause in the terms will also form the basis for suspending a client's hosting account until he actually pays?


Okay imagine it was a car I was selling and the person paid for the car through Eyowo and I delivered the car because I had seen the funds in my wallet... only for Eyowo to tell me "oboy that payment get k-leg cuz one developer been dey do some stunts and he forgot surgical knife in our source codes and compiled". So I should enter road and start looking for the car I sold or the buyer and tell him "bros, there was a...... and so there is a.....". Haba!

Oh well I have had enough from one service provider. Life has too many problems and I can't afford to add Eyowo to my list of problems.

Well Eyowo can't be held to anything because Eyowo.com has no Terms of Service or Service Level agreement or any other sort of legal document binding it to its customers. So, basically you cannot hold Eyowo responsible for anything they do to you (good or bad).
This is CLASSIC, the first service provider I am seeing without a Terms of Service or Service Level Agreement.

For an example of what a legal document for a payment gateway should look like, see below:
https://voguepay.com/terms
https://www.cashenvoy.com/?cmd=terms&subcmd=none&out=1


For all those who have met me via emails and phone calls in the past asking about Eyowo and how good they were, I am very sorry for telling you and convincing you they were the best. Accept my sincere apologies.

I was looking for that trick/command to paste all the filenames in a directory but couldnt recall it. Well here's a screenshot of my PHP books directory.
Choose what you want and I'll upload, I can't upload all. Its safe to choose any 3 you want. To know more about each of the books just google their names, so you know which is best for what aspect of PHP you want to learn.

yorme: Yeah, i saw it. that's why i asked him that the content of the mobile website will be like.

What you saw is "Create a logo and mobile website for your company at under 40k. Email info@paystr8.mobi with your specifications"

Bro read that post again word for word
Na ya "fellow widows" be this. Pun intended

If I join you, do we get to 50:50 the juice?

Una sure sey una read that first post well or na only the "40k" una read?

yorme: Bro, I'm so sorry for rating your website, sorry i mean online business card (that's in case you are angry about the rating)

Nope I'm nowhere near angry. Just don't put my biz card on same yardstick with the sites.... that's like putting canoe on the same yardstick with a Benz C class.

ZTE Modems cannot be unlocked remotely. They need to be connected to the computer and then the software reads meta data from it and unlocks it.

yorme: Sawyerrken.net ... 4/10 <Nice concept, but please make it more interactive. The content is not enough to keep readers/users on the site for up to 5 minutes...>

Please don't rate my site, it won't change anything on it. I am not expecting anyone to be on that site for more than 2 minutes. Its just there to show you how to contact me. Maybe the problem lies in the fact that I call it a site... change of term... its a an online business card. Get in, get my contact details and get out and mail me

I will get into the business of having a personal website/blog when I retire.

As for your site, its nice and clean. I can't give your a rating in figures though, if na only me i don give everybody 10/10 be that.

Change is constant. Adapt

On that site I recall you have about 3 different formats to choose from including PNG and JPG.
Resize it using any photo editor like MS Paint or Adobe Fireworks.

I think what you have taken time to read across the interwebs is enough for you to make a decision on what to go for. This topic is a time waster. Use what works for you.

Rufaii, thanks for the correction.

Bluekite: It is just confidencial, i do not feel confortable posting it here, i just want how to report the site

This makes no sense.
Anything on the internet that doesn't require authenticated access is in a declassified state. Come out clean.

Your voter's card is a Government-issued ID.

You can create more using http://www.terryburton.co.uk/barcodewriter/generator/

There are many other generators, some time in the past I was toying with this thing and made a PHP barcode class that I never really used thereafter.

Will get back to you in a few minutes

And people should just believe because you have said this?

If there's no security risk involved, post the 13-digit EAN here so people can help you generate your barcode.

hypertechweb: Hmmmmmm!!! but ur site aint showing any of ur skills.

My jobs show my skills, not my site. My site shows you how to contact me after you may have been brought to it from one of my jobs or clients. That's why I said every serious client already has an idea of what they will be getting.

I'm not advising anyone to follow my approach, I just don't see the need for 200+ pages on a web developer's personal site.

guru01: Why do you laugh?

In this world of dynamism and database-centric content delivery... what are we still doing counting pages?

AND WHY WILL A DEVELOPERS SITE HAVE 200+ PAGES?

Here's is my personal website: www.sawyerrken.net (I don't update it, it can stay like that for 10 years. Except I change contact details).

The purpose: It gives any client a first impression about what I do and how I do it.

I don't have a "portfolio" on the site, any client I get is coming from a site I have already built or a referring client so they already have a pretty good idea of what they are going to get.

mj: DualCORE will have a better answer to the question, I can remember vividly about 2yrs ago, he did sometn on dz. DualCore we need u hear.

Do you mean the obfuscation/encoding method where the code self destructs after some time? Well that's one way but here's a better way that I have used and will never stop using... the client can accept it or go.

In the agreement it is clearly stated that a particular percentage (not less than 50%) will be collected before work starts and on completion all the project will be uploaded to a temporary location on my domain for the owner to fully test it and make sure it complies to all his requirements. After all the back and forth revisions and the client is happy with the whole job, he pays up the balance before the files are transferred to him.

In other words I will NEVER take a site LIVE or hand files over to the owner until its fully paid for. If they don't want, they should go... and by the way I haven't seen a serious client who has refused or tried to amend that part of the agreement... its not even subject to amendment.

LoL

guru01: Yes if they come together they can build unmanned cars.

And whose name will be behind the car? ToyoHoNissanDa?

Competition is real

^^ Pass the bottle around next time bro.

ActiveMan:
i doubt those image

you still have the favicon of gigalayer when the site is offline?

Favicons are cached on first visit.

I checked the site around the same time that post was made and it didnt load until a refreshed again. Its no biggy, glitches happen that's why you don't see any serious host promising 100% uptime.

sarutobi: And it is built with OpenVZ so 512mb is 512mb. you get all you buy fully.

This info is incorrect. In OpenVZ 10 VPSes can be assigned 512MB each on a container with 2GB. I think you are mistaking it for XEN.

In my experience, the successful ones didn't start up hoping to make money. They had the passion. Its a case of a hobby turning to a money maker. Note that it was once a hobby so it means there was a real job somewhere... the hobby grows up to the point of knocking off the real job.

Where is your sense of humour oh my dear nairalander? #humor3schools.com

That's like asking Toyota, Honda and Nissan to merge to build an unmanned car.
