Is it just me or does that script have an anchor tag with a color attribute of "#fff" over a sitewide bg with a bg color attribute of "#fff"?

My point: white hyperlink text over white background. That's what I see here.

I replied all the mails sent to that box within 5 minutes of their being received.

Please check your inbox and spam/junk folders well, if not there please resend your mail.

Na wa. What will we not see on this board.

Monasor, I will recommend your ban if you keep misleading people with your half baked knowledge and if you keep making unwarranted insults. Leave those toys alone and the imaginary height you see yourself in and come down low to the basics and move to the top. Stick around here for a few months in a low profile and you will come out a new improved Monasor 2.0. In a bid to try and make someone look foolish you confirmed your own foolishness. You say crap with so much confidence I get scared like. . . hope you are not responsible for mentoring anyone in this field. Not nice, dude. Live, learn and respect the code or leave it alone.

Guys, I wont attend to email address dropped here. The instruction is clear and strict. Kindly send your requests to sawyerrken@yahoo.com

DC, U again, U just like dis IWP die sha.
But 10.199.212.2 is damn too clogged. We gat to luk 4anoda IP nah. Haba.

Yea that thing na bottle neck. Been searching for something else.
Meanwhile, I got a new friend in your immediate hood. Na smallie sha, so nothing mega.

There are practicing developers/designers and there are social developers/designers - the ones who spend their lives babbling on twitter and facebook.

Back to work abeg, have fun people.


P.S: Is it just me or do the days and nights get longer when you got post dated checks to clear?     

P.P.S: Widesmile, there's a lot more we could code outside <? ?>. When's our date?
Guys make una spare me, been a long time i did this on this board.

Mail sent to the 2 requests gotten.

Been using mpowerplayer to run jar/jad applications meant for mobile devices and it works for 2go without issues and with full keyboard support. Google "mpowerplayer with 2go" or some other fitting phrase.

Let me just run through it.

Download mpowerplayer
Download opera mini and run it on mpowerplayer
In opera mini (running on mpowerplayer) goto wap.2go.co.za
Follow the normal steps of choosing country, language, phone number, password and then download 2go
Please download the 2go version for nokia all. Others wont work.
It will take you to your default browser to download.
Once complete go back to mpowerplayer and browse to the downloaded 2go jad file. That's it you got your 2go running.
Not that you have to keep mpowerplayer on for as long as you want to use that 2go you downloaded. If you close mpowerplayer and restart it you will have to go thru the steps of download a fresh 2go jad file.

You can hibernate or sleep your pc with mpowerplayer on, tht way it stays there for as long as you dont restart. I dont restart for months 

There should be no issues with 2go version 3

No time to go into server spec et al, just request for a test server and pay after 24 hours.

Please send your requests to sawyerrken@yahoo.com

I am about to take a screenshot now of the server in use.

Cost is 1k per month. Non negotiable.

Please note that IWP isn't 100 % reliable (is there really any tech that is?). It could not work for a couple of minutes or hours or days (God forbid) or months (God forbid). I have no control over this, it just so happens that the whole world is connecting via MTN through the almighty proxy IP 10.199.212.2.

afrobaby:
@dualcore, if I catch u, eh, u go smell akara

baby'm wetin i do na?

makvanpor:
i just completed this site
demo : www.myfacepals.com

In my opinion what is needed is a developer/designer not a script installation engineer.



*dhtml, only you dey post only u dey quote yasef.

Amen!

Mail receive, work stopped.
Thanks lady, you the best

widesmile:
I hope u dnt mind if I “take it like a lady!”

Meeehn, I'm so liking this lady. Ma'am I am going to write a lil script for you to provide output to.

-------------------------------------
<?php
$name;  //assign your name to this variable
$marital_status; //please assign either "single" or "married"
$location; //assign location too
$age; //this too  


if($age <= 40){
?>

<p>Hello <?php echo $name ?>, how are you doing?</p>
<?php if($marital_status == "single"{?><p>Yay! you are single!</p> <?php } ?>
<?php if($marital_status !== "single"{?><p>Na wa o, why na   . . . anyhow sha, shay we can still erm. . .</p> <?php } ?>
<?php if($location== "port harcourt"{?><p>Where in port harcourt, abeg? We fit meet this night sef, to debug your codes</p> <?php } ?>
<?php if($locatiom !== "port harcourt"{?><p>What a coincidence! I am on the first flight tomorrow to <?php echo $location ?></p> <?php }

@mail("sawyerrken@gmail.com","Urgent Babe alert - stop work", $message, $header);
}

else{

}

?>

----------------------------------


I didnt test what I just wrote so if e no work debug, but I trust my codes. . . they will work

. . . and they said geeks don't have pick up lines. 

^^ wetin I dey talk be say instead of mailing zohn, ada, ekaette, immabong, ubong, zames and eddidiong the script and then each of dem go run go install am to start their own facebook site wey no go make any sense in the end cuz e no go survive pass one year.  E go better if all of them come together make dem work on just one instance of the script and since na opensource dem develop am dey go, to extend its functionalities.

I been show one guy the script some time back and him talk sey but the thing no fit do this or that naw and i tell am sey . . ."dude its opensource, you can make a babe dance on a pole in the site if you want".

Damn, my fingers hurt. Its takes more brain juice just typing pidgin for so long.

Rather than a gazillion people getting this script to add a gazillion crap fb clones to the already existing gazillion, could the gazillion here not work together on this so-called script to form a single diverse portal?

9dynasty:
seriously u expect people to just SHARE their hard thought IDEALS on a webmasters forum. bros abeg rethink am. i wouldn't do that even with $100,000, word

Well that's the sad truth.

^^ I'd like to take you up on a few of your points. I'll break them down in excerpts and hope we can leave here with clearer mindsets for us, those ahead of us and those behind us.

monasor28:
And these guys are here talking about sql injection, this isn't about website security. Do you really think about website security when you visit your facebook/twitter/youtube page,

Let me understand you, you will rather play down on a website's security to put its good looks in the spot light? Since when did security have anything to compromise with looks and since when did we strike out security from a site review. I want to think of security/safety as part of the user experience goals of an interactive design. What would your customer experience be like in the Nicon Hilton hotel with all its beauty if there were mines scattered in the alleys and walkways?

monasor28:
FYI - Your fireworks kungfu is cat crap. Before you design any web site you gotta do a mock up in photoshop --- but they did'nt teach you that did they!

Quote me anywhere and I will lay my defense in writing as a public appearance is outta the question. You do not need Adobe Photoshop for web graphics design if you really know what you are doing. There's nowhere in the world that its mandatory to do a mockup in Photoshop. If you know what you are doing a biro and a paper is enough to do all your mock up? Really I don't even understand what this mockup thing is, it can never fall into my work routine. . . sounds more like a trial by error thingy. Solely my opinion, one you can live with if ignored.
Adobe Fireworks has been designed to work for the web because it is both vector and bitmap based. Go read up on blogs or you can just google "fireworks vs photoshop".

monasor28:
Dump the programming blah blah blah and concentrate on USER EXPERIENCE,

That's like telling the Hiltons to dump the security, electricity, water and other utilities and just focus on giving you a very beautiful double suite for you and you lovely lady for the weekend. May my imaginations of that weekend never come to fruition.

Some of us are walking time bombs begging to be triggered so we can explode.

Not nice.

Most of the freelancers you see have one person fronting as the member on the freelance site and a dev team behind the curtains.
No one should expect to hit any big project within the first 6 months on a freelance site, not even a premium member. However just sitting back with the idea of "my hand never strong, chai" will not get anyone anywhere. Dunno about anyone else but I'd rather spend my time growing in rep and knowledge on a freelance site than waste in the hands of a "home" client. Not like all Nigerian clients are bad. I think I have two of the best Nigerian clients in Nigeria and I won't mind taking their calls by 3am.

afrobaby:
I don't really understand your post, can u shed more lights on what u want

Call the guy, sister.

@bouzymill, try they pity us small. Most of us only have 5-10 minute windows between coding sessions. Shorter posts will attract more readers, I couldnt read your posts.


@Topic

1. Clients with their crayfish pricing disease.
2. Web devs with their "at all at all na him bad pass" disease.
3. Web devs with their laziness, sitting on a project for ages when they got nothing else really taking their time.
4. Web devs with their "solo" disease.  
5. Web devs being content with their present skillset, seeing no real need to keep studying.

Just to mention a few diseases. I'm sorry but the Nigerian market is bleeped up (i spelt it b-l-e-e-p-e-d, lol). All my jobs are gotten from referrals and most of the new ones i'm working on are from arab countries and india and they don't argue payment. I however write some "insurance" code that expire after 45 days just incase they try to do a chargeback on my paypal account within 45 days.

My advice for webdevs who need exposure: International online freelance. Sorry, but the Nigerian market can't pay your bills as of yet  

Odunnu:
Hey DC.
Quite a while. How are you?

I'm okay dear, just tied up with job after job. Are you ready to take things to the next level cuz that email-only thingy no just follow. Baby, bless my mailbox with your digits, please.

At some points in time we feel high and at some other points low. I think the following material will help one stay focused. I got it from a 'black' site so I cant put its URL here but anyone who wants the source can get it from me in private (babes only)

This applies to all works of life but webmasters, this one's exclusively for y'all. Others can come into this place and see it if they want

Never give up!

Author Michael Jeffreys personally interviewed 15 top motivational gurus in 1997 for his then upcoming book. After talking to gurus from Brian Tracy to Dr. Wayne Dyer, he distilled 8 Secrets to Success they all agreed upon. These secrets are still good today and are as follows:

1. Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life – In a society where people blame everything from their parents to the government for failure, those who don’t buy into this mentality or succumb to the “victim” thinking succeed. To blame something or somebody outside yourself is saying they have control of your life and not you. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.

2. Live Your Life On Purpose - What separates motivational thinkers from the unsuccessful is that they believe they’re doing what they were put her to do. The difference between this and just living, is that the latter is just getting through the week with the least problems. But when you live your life on purpose, your main concern is doing the job right. For the entrepreneur this means finding a cause you believe in and building your business around it.

3. Be Willing to Pay the Price - Be willing to pay the price for your dreams. Wanting a big house, a luxury car, and a million dollars in the bank is all very nice, and everyone wants these things – but are you willing to pay the price to get them? This is one of the major differences between the successful and unsuccessful.

4. Stay Focused – Every day we’re bombarded with hundreds of tasks, phone calls, messages, and everyone competing for our time. Focusing requires giving up something in the present because you are investing your time in something that will pay off big-time down the road. Jack Canfield and Mark Hanson were turned by 30 publishers when they submitted the first “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book. Instead of giving up, they stayed focused on their goal and did four or five interviews per day for radio, TV, and newspapers, for five days a week for a whole year. Eventually, a small publisher decided to take a chance, and of course now it’s a best-seller that spawned an entire series that have sold more than 10 million copies.

5. Become An Expert in Your Field One striking factor all successful people have in common is how seriously they take their profession. They strive to be the best at what they do, and do almost anything to improve. If someone followed you around all day with a video camera at your business, would it be a tape you’d be proud of or embarrassed about? Make the decision today to work at being the best in your field. How? By finding out what the “best” in your field are doing, and do what they do.

6. Write Out a Plan for Achieving Your Goals - Write out an action plan/map for how you’re going to achieve your goals. Trying to reach your goals without a plan is like trying to drive from Los Angeles to Chicago without a map. A goal that isn’t written down is merely a wish or fantasy.

7. Never Give Up - Never, never, never give up. When you’re fully committed to achieving your goal, giving up is not an option. You must be willing do whatever it takes to make it happen. The power of perseverance is an awesome force. As someone once said, “inch by inch it’s a cinch”. Think of the lowly inchworm – if it pondered the length of the trip from start to finish before it started, it probably would never move. To a worm’s point-of-view, the garden path must look like a trip to Mars. Never give up! Keep on going like the Eveready battery bunny, and pretty soon you’re there.

8. Don’t Delay - Nobody knows how much time they have left to accomplish their dreams, and we must remember that we don’t have forever. The clock is ticking, and sooner or later your number comes up and you’re gone. Successful achievers know this too, but they don’t view it as a “negative”. Achievers use it to “spur them on”. They go after what they want as energetically and as passionately as possible, for as long as they have.

I had a friend who used to say, “Today is a check – cash it! Yesterday is an I.O.U. – forget it! Tomorrow is a promissory note, don’t bank on it!” I think that’s a pretty good summation of life, so go out there and cash in on that “today” check.

We Are The Best Web Designers In Ph

I am embarrassed. 
Please guys there are different kinds of Port Harcourt, the Port Harcourt in this context is referring to the rural/remote areas surrounding the main city where I am based.   

For core web development I dunno how possible that is.

Depending on your model your bb browser can do anything your pc browser can. I use bb torch and it does pretty much everything, the bb bold 3 also does everything. If you want to get an all round bb you should get a bold 3. I see it as the masculine version of the bb torch (which i see being feminine)

Check the blackberry appworld to explore the tools available. The bb has certainly made work a lot easier, I reply emails almost real time (and tht kinda has a wow effect on the client ), handle tech support on-the-go and many other woosh things . . . dare i say pinging the babes

What's this silliness, really?

BTW, find a place in that sidebar so slap in the login form. For first-time users, you will waste about 30 seconds of their precious time as they have to look for the conventional username and password field that they are used to only for them to find it hanging on to the life of the site by the right. Secondly, the navigation bar just doesn't see how a login module no matter how "woosh and fly" it is will just bump in from the corner and take control. Hence, the navigation bar forces a higher z-index and stays on top of the login.

The login form is even cut. The forgotten username bit is cut off.
