RomanceRe: To Marry Your First Love by Farriel(m): 10:35am On Feb 20, 2006
It surely would be an incredible experience, but like Maxflame mentioned, one needs the experience garnered from going through relationships, to understand the opposite sex well enough for a life-time co-existence with a particular individual.

I've been involved in several relationships and have yet to find that special lady whom I connect to very deeply, and so I can imagine how cool it would be marrying that one when I do find her.

By the way Maxflame, there is LOVE. You think there's no love because you apparently haven't felt it. But one thing I know is that you can't appreciate real love until you've been burnt. So, go ahead.

Client has just demanded for an update of design and as such link above would reflect updated content, not the initial design posted for review. Screenshot of former design is shown below. I tried talking the client out of such a revamp of index page, but the man was adamant.

This new look isn't really cool, anymore.

Ah, how often do you call customer care, if I may ask? Daily?

What do you need it to do for you?
ComputersRe: Vista Transformation Pack by Farriel(m): 11:07am On Feb 14, 2006
Oh, now I see. Yes, it did simulate the Dashboard. I installed lots of other apps to work with the pack I had.
ComputersRe: Vista Transformation Pack by Farriel(m): 11:05am On Feb 14, 2006
Don't really know what you mean. Which did you try?
ComputersRe: Vista Transformation Pack by Farriel(m): 10:56am On Feb 14, 2006
The Mac Transformation pack is way cooler. Gives one a Tiger feel. Go ahead and try it man.

I'd rather wait for Vista coming out later this year, than try the Transfo pack. By the way, a friend of mine has got the Beta version, but I'm willing to wait just a little longer.
LiteratureRe: Some Interesting Books You Have Read by Farriel(m): 12:54pm On Feb 13, 2006
I can't forget these few I can remember at the moment. I've read a whole lot of interesting books but these few keep coming back to me anytime I'm listing my favourite books of all time.

Presumed Innocent - Scott Turow
Papillon - Henri Charriere
Deception Point - Dan Brown
Hostile Witness - William Lashner
Matarese Circle - Robert Ludlum
A Thin Dark Line - Tami Hoag
Stealing Faces - Michael Prescott
The Cobra Event - Richard Preston
Roots - Alex Hailey

By the way, The Cobra Event is one of the most dramatic, heart-stopping books I've ever read. The details of the deaths are shocking, you wont want to read on. A brilliant bestseller. To anyone who hasn't read it, please do.
LiteratureRe: Those Who Love Novels by Farriel(m): 12:32pm On Feb 13, 2006
Yeah, Sidney Sheldon is a great writer, but his books weren't very exciting to me. His characters lacked the depth that makes one connect to them and enjoy a great reading experience.

IMO, Chase was better. Short, thrilling, exciting books, all of his.
LiteratureRe: Who's Your Favourite Author? by Farriel(m): 12:25pm On Feb 13, 2006
I have got over 30 favourite authors. Picking one out of all the others would be difficult, or rather, impossible. By the way, I never heard about Swindellis nor Stine, what genre of books do they write?
ComputersRe: Can I Get A Good Laptop For 50,000 Naira? by Farriel(m): 12:14pm On Feb 13, 2006
No.
Web MarketRe: $2.99 Domain Names at Yahoo (I bought some) by Farriel(m): 12:10pm On Feb 13, 2006
Good question. How a Nigerian can manage to get more than one CC, when others like me can't even obtain ONE. I have a question though, who can I give Nigeria Naira in order to purchase these domains with his CC?
LiteratureRe: Da Vinci Code Book by Farriel(m): 7:28pm On Feb 12, 2006
Nferyn, I agree with you that Deception Point is his best work. As a matter of fact, it's one of the most ingenious work of fictions I've ever read. Simply brilliant. Digital Fortress was also cool. I'm surprised you didn't enjoy it.

And to you all who understand that The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction and appreciate it in that light, I commend you on such objective perspectives.
Dating And Meet-up ZoneRe: Free Gmail Invites by Farriel(m): 4:45pm On Feb 12, 2006
Everyone seems to have tons of invites, everyone seems to need a Gmail account. I'd posted a link to opening one for one's self. No invites needed, no sh*tz. Straight up registration.

Check out https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount

With that, you can access Gmail, Orkut, and a whole lot of other Google services.

<<Seun says, "Gmail invites are different, actually">>
WebmastersRe: Website Review - FFeWebBusiness.com by Farriel(m): 6:13pm On Feb 11, 2006
Ah, site hardly comes off to me as professional.

Perhaps you're an aspiring web-designer, no?

Anyway, most of the corrections that I should have pointed out have been mentioned already in previous posts, but the one thing you should do first before anything else, is to change your bkg colour, please.

The Times New Roman font for the links on the left panel do not come off nicely too, try to change that to something a little more aesthetic, and maybe align them left, IMO. The Internet Wealth CD and the book for sale or something should be place in the same panel, either left or right, and of course optimizing those images. Displacing them randomly isn't great.

The overall stark white background of the layout makes it mismatched against all that green. Play with colours to the left and to the right content panels, but most importantly, change background colour, please. And the borders of your cells are not impressive, ditch them.

WebmastersRe: Lagosian.com by Farriel(m): 5:55pm On Feb 11, 2006
Your interface is really cool. I've been a chrome man for a long time and can't help but love any glassy interface I come across. But what's up with your home page? Just the header above, the footer below, and Lagosian.com slammed in the middle with no brief content description of anything?

The pages of the few links I checked seemed OK. An overall clean feel, that's what you projected, and I'm impressed.

Solid job man, solid job. At the moment, I can't find flaws anywhere except the index page.
WebmastersRe: Reviews Wanted For ArtsinScience.com by Farriel(op): 5:33pm On Feb 11, 2006
Well, UsherGurl, Arts in Science is a management consulting and engineering company that provides services that enhance the competitiveness of organizations, as the information on their About page says. Sadly, there's little of way of contributions to be made to their site. Except of course you contact them for any of their service or product using the feedback form on the contact page. I'm glad you like it anyway.

@Seun, I'm flattered with the Wow! But is that all I can get in form of a critical review? tongue
WebmastersReviews Wanted For ArtsinScience.com by Farriel(op): 7:01pm On Feb 10, 2006
Even though sites placed to be reviewed hardly gets noticed anymore, I still want to find out what you guys think of this site I've just completed.

Link is http://artsinscience.com/

All criticisms would be appreciated.

PS. I posted this only to find Website Review section. Couldn't move it. Moderators? Maybe you could help do thatwink

I guess so. But the whole wireless network to cover Abj is a huge thing for the capital city, really remarkable.

SportsRe: Super Eagles Of Nigeria Vs. Senegal: 2 - 1! by Farriel(m): 11:42am On Feb 02, 2006
Makinwa? shocked To do what? Run around from one point to another without causing any real damage? Abeg, the Super Eagles don't need him for anything, except of course there's an underlying racing involved in matches and we wish to see him participate in 400m marathons in football games and give us a surprise gold. Aghahowa is a brilliant, better player, but just hasn't found his rhythm so far in the tournament.

Nigeria played very badly and somehow won the match in the end. Senegal clearly deserved a victory. I'm delighted we won, but I'm dispirited at the performance of the team. Such a horrible play on the part of the Nigerians.

As for Taiwo, I'm clearly not impressed with his lacklustre defensive skills. What's with all the overlappings and poor markings. If him score goal with a blasting shot, them say make him no siddon for our half of the field again? Udeze or Babayaro would have done better in our last three games, but maybe they just wouldn't have scored that goal against Ghana.

I hope the Super Eagles improve their performance against the Tunisians (and in further matches, that is if they defeat Tunisia).
ProgrammingRe: Java Has Failed! by Farriel(m): 11:16am On Feb 02, 2006
Indeed, JavaScript and Java are not one and the same. A lot of people are confused about this.

On to Java being dead, I actually don't think so. Yes, Sun is fast approaching its twilight zone and are really aiming to increasing revenue but Java beind dead or failing is not entirely correct.

I've got some programmer guys here in PH and most of 'em are Java guys. They are deploying very mean apps and not complaining at all about how Java works.

In fact, over 70% of all the programmers I know here in PH use Java. I don't know how it's failed you, Africanboy. Maybe it not being able to run on a different platform (to you, that is), but I think Java is one language that has redefined interoperability of programs. It's certainly most people's favourite language, but perhaps just doesn't work for you, don't you think so?

RomanceRe: What makes You Want To Ask A Girl Out? by Farriel(m): 1:13am On Jan 31, 2006
For me, it's the eyes.

A girl has got to have very fierce eyes before I'm compelled to staring down to other parts, and staring at those other parts is just for the purpose of assessing her physicality as a woman. Except those other parts are just of this world and I glance at them first before returning to the eyes to confirm the fierceness in them. No fierceness, no tracking.
RomanceRe: Love Is Unfair: Why Don't Ugly Girls Get Love? by Farriel(m): 1:05am On Jan 31, 2006
Yeah, I know. But read this carefully;
Farriel:
I've come across people (sadly, embarassed) whom can be described as such, even though it's discourteous to address them as such.
That's why I mentioned that it's discourteous to address anyone as such. I haven't got a dog, and I haven't called anyone ugly.
RomanceRe: What Physical Features Turn You Off In Men? by Farriel(m): 12:58am On Jan 31, 2006
This thread sucks, honestly it does. What would all the fat and short and hairy boys in this forum feel about themselves if you girls go on like this? I'm not saying you're dissing them, but it would make them feel generally uncomfortable about their physical appearances, and that ain't no way to feel, sisters. That ain't no way to feel at all.

To the unhygienic fellows, they've got to improve their cleanliness levels, but no give boys wey no get any control over their general physical appearance headaches. Particularly the short, hairy ones.
RomanceRe: Love Is Unfair: Why Don't Ugly Girls Get Love? by Farriel(m): 12:47am On Jan 31, 2006
Some people are unarguably ugly, hot-angel, really. You cannot rule Ceekay's comment as outrightly inadmissible, can you? To some degree, girls who are not with pleasant faces have tough times getting themselves noticed or supposedly turning heads, but however, there are millions of such people whom are involved in enviable relationships.

What I don't agree to is that they don't get love, cos love's an entirely different aspect of our innate being, which a person's physical appearance has little or no control over.

@cillalove, the word ugly can be used on living things. Honestly. I've come across people (sadly, embarassed) whom can be described as such, even though it's discourteous to address them as such. Besides, how can a non-living thing be attributed to ugliness?
