₦airaland Forum

phone is rubbish,gave mine out for free two weeks ago.

i have never ever never never ever called Tex-ass for any techy stuff 2 in the morning. by that time im either writing code to steal credit cards or im pining for the love of me life.

*kidding about the credit cards, ' course*

your problem is not narrow enough to pinpoint a solution, you should let us know the type of browser you use, your memory size, your operating system (ie Xp or Vista)and your antiviral apps; all these can affect online experience but lets start with probable cause:

1. ATTACHMENTS

Certain web browsers don't work entirely well with Yahoo especially Opera. try refreshing the page. to narrow down probabilities, try downloading attachments again with either firefox or Internet Explorer. if it turns out the problem is spread across other browsers then the problem lies elsewhere, but we have succeeded in eliminating browser incompatibility.

next check your Antivirus settings, some do not allow downloads of specific filetypes. temporarily stop your antiV and try.

if it still doesnt work then we have eliminated 2 probable causes.

next go to your Internet Security settings in the Tools section of IE and lower your security settings.

if none of thse work then your problem lies elsewhere.


2. YAHOO MESSENGER

entering a chatroom loads cookies into your system, so try deleting cookies and see if that works, if it doesnt then try downloading the latest version of YAhoo Msesenger.

note that Yahoo is trying to eliminate chatroom-based Instant Messaging and settle on buddy lists only like Google Talk etc.

im a bit reluctant to give my Yahoo ID because i did before and whenever i log in i see all sorts of people asking to be added up, and when i do add some of them up they turn out to be e-vangelists (as in electronic evangelists), snake oil salesmen, Viagra marketers and get-rich-quick spammers/scammers,.

kindly post whatever problem you are having and i guarantee you i will do my best to assist, where i cant someone else who knows better will and there are lots of them here. this has the added benefit of being helpful to anyone having similar problems

cheers.

3G is back again. MXtube is pilfering youtube videos in high quality like theres no tomorrow (hello, Chris Crocker!!). my company is thinking of going with MS Exchange (the CEO has a crackberry) so im putting that to its paces IF they actually went with MSX.

laters.

vescucci:
Ah! Figures. Just don't take forever. VPN sounds familiar. Like they've been bombarding my mailbox for awhile. ISPs? I want to go get lunch.

VPN, as anyone with half a brain can tell you, is a way of tunnelling into your boxes across vast spans in a very secure mode. it means, halfwit, that i can log in to my online stuff at home and at work though im thinking NEPA struck at the home end.

Gamine:
ROTFLMAO.

ooh my

Vesc, we are cool

just don't go chasing waterfalls.


EX! , two zones away?

for some reason i cant log back in again. oh well, meanwhile im interested in knowing where Tezax gets off telling YOU im a Nerdy Techy. i mean, this is a dude who calls me 2am in the morning and murders my sleep with some techy question.

i dont think the dude even sleeps.

yes, unfortunately im taken away from you against my will. the world is in an economic mess and someone has to sort it out.

guess who the boffin is gets chosen to work overtime?

as of last night I'm two time zones away from y'all

sorry, will be some time before i post again

im messing with VPN tunneling to log into work and home. works but slow

Seun himself.

the man who towered over all, whose domain stretched beyond Nairaland to far corners of Earth and who had always loomed large in the petty affairs of mortal men, was actually a diminutive figure.

he stood, a momentary silhouette, partially cloaked in dakness but mace could feel those dead inanimate eyes boring into him like an open window to the soul.

the silence hung thick, the calm before the storm.

@Vesc

go down with me? what makes you think I'm compassionate enough to sully my death with the company of your tainted soul? the underbelly of hell cannot accomodate the filth you are steeped in, nor can purgatory offer you temporary abode while you traverse the limbo of Eternal Damnation.

redeem yourself Vescucci, else the cursed shades of the seven rivers of Hell will devour your wandering, restless spirit. i have been to Hades, i rode in Charon's boat across the Styx, i swam the waters of Pluton, Cocytus,  Caina, Phlegeton, Acheron, Lethe, Eridanos, in whose swift currents flow the souls of traitors, muderers, vagrants. all swirling in a mighty vortex towards the dreaded Keep of Cerberus.

but i was redeemed, for i sought the forgiveness of the Inferi Dii, and i was born anew as "Deus Ex Inferis", one of the Circle.

But you, heretic, will face a different fate in Avernus, for redemption is not for the jealous and the envious, those who covet their neighbor's wife. You are guilty of coveting Gamine, and i curse you.

Heathen, prepare your soul for the horrors of the Underworld, and you shall not accompany me in the hour of passing.


Indeed, your scream of "peace!" "peace!" will only earn you scorn, but then you have always been a sucker for punishment.

peace. no peace between us.

"Procedamus in Pace, In Nomine Cristi, Amen."

none of that.

"gimme gimme", what are you, Gimme Moore?

name that thing then.

yah know, lets take this out of here. log into messenger and add me up. my handle is neoteny7

Gamine:
Rotflmao

D dude no get clue.

the clueless abound in this forum

Gamine:
@Ex,

Eh eh,

I thought your heart was already mine

am i missing something, don't try to dodge o

i want something i can HOLD!

well, you can always hold me, or one of my numerous appendages

but seriously, the heart is already yours, dark river and all.

and yours alone.

build on it, there are still miles to go.

first things first; get a shower and rid himself of the grit in his eyes and the dirt clogging his clothes and piling thick beneath his skin. maybe a quick phone call to Sophie.

he had to get out of there. the Lawn mower man was nowhere to be seen, and chances are the footsoldier was this very minute reporting to his master.

funny thing, the loyalty of dogs.

shawdon:
i don't aggree with you guy either,my best holywood director is James Cameroon and his best movie is Dark Angel that was in year 1998

James cameron has a thin resume, sir, and dark Angel was a Tv Series.

Gamine:
aah Sweets

But what do i get in return

an iphone 3g perhaps??


I was watching Indecent proposal yesterday due towell,  

Then NEPA struck.

No new movie seems to catch my fancy, i just seem to keep going back.

Love Demi!

oi! iphone 3G? didnt you say you dont-whats the word, "gbadun"-the iphone 3G?

someone here in nairaland beat you to it.

and no, ITS NOT A GIRL.

and no, IM NOT GAY.

my heart (such as it is) is the best gift i can ever give you. im sure you wont reject it.

Indecent Proposal, hmm. way back with robert redford? demi moore? plot's sketchy but i remember something about a million buckaroos for a one-nighter with some loser's wife.

im in the season too for classics, has-beens and tv re-runs. watched something called Fear Itself on MBC Action, self-contained episodes much like NCIS without the endless lingering of stuff like Lost and Prison Break.

well, seems the ad for Fear Itself is much more scary than the actual series.

<sarcasm>

no, i meant my spleen

d'uh.

</sarcasm>


don't push your luck.

shrugged and sighed deeply, eyes and head still hurting from his ordeal. he kept thinking "what just happened? how did i get here? whose face was that in the car".

questions. they made his head hurt more.

the answers never came.

he turned around and witout glancing back

afterall, he was no stranger to tyranny having once being kicked out fo nairaland for calling the CEO a despot.

head aching, eyes burning from heat and smoke, mace took a few tottering steps and

"what the-!", unable to take his eyes off the malevolent figure with the lawn mower

Gamine:
lol.

Ive been great, my sugar bunny, honey dewy helly lovey n every n every 

yay!

I'm like totally saving every single pic you put up in your profile and making a collage. i got you on my phone as the wallpaper.

totally psyched up, like.



ok, Hollywood Chihuahua i can't wait to see, my usual sources are drying up pronto maybe they suddenly fell in love with life and arent putting up them flicks.

oh, well. time to pick up a few books.

hey, pssst! Vesc, where yer? pluck yer head out of yer ass and bore us with one of your dry posts, its getting quiet in here. even you is sufferable compared to this harrowing silence.

so there you have it, some of these TurboSim dongles dont work properly, GPS is a no-no, 3G is very spotty, syncing takes as long as ever (1 hour 15 mins in this case) and the call quality is still atrocious.

stick with your iphone 1st gen for now.

laters.

Video Events

yup, im a democrat!

And still lost.

looking for myself

looking for a GPS lock with the satellites.

no such luck!

starwars again

Starwars Force Unleashed

Asphalt 4 and spore origins

so, here we are, ive updated the firmware from 2.0.1 to 2.1 without a hitch.except ive lost 3G connectivity and EDGE as well (maybe because the baseband is updated), WIFI works fine though and unlike the 1st gen iphone on 2.1, this takes a loooong time to sync.

im thinking the SIM dongle (which by the way is X-SIM) is to be blamed for the lack of 3G signal. will order SIMFREER next week.

@Tezz

i switch between the MTN and the WLAN, i use the latter for heavier downloads because its 30gigs a month.

LOL@ Xplane!. me, i couldnt tell whetehr i was flying or landing the durn thing, but great physics nonetheless. how do you take off? i pull the flaps up and down but i don't seem to be getting enough speed to lift.

Real Soccer 2009 is unbelievable (though I'm not a footie fan).

I'm syncing the 3G right now after upgrading to 2.1, will post screenies and impressions later.
