TV/Movies / Re: Deji Bademosi Quits Channels TV After Clash With John Momoh? by gistme24(m): 8:00am On Aug 26, 2012
The irony of this story is that John Momoh made his name in News reporting too, and from what I have heard, he was extremely good at it, and headstrong too. So would John Momoh accept such orders if he were in Deji's shoes' ?

I guess the view and priorities are different when you are the Chairman/CEO.

Best of luck Deji Badamosi in your new quest.

Programming / Re: Help With This:checking For Blank Textboxes In C# by gistme24(m): 12:54pm On Aug 21, 2012
Let's say:
If(TextBox1.Text.Lenght > 0)
{
Try{
Int stat = Convert.ToInt(TextBox1.Text) ;
}
Catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("wrong input" ) ;
}
}
Else
MessageBox.show("Field cannont be blank" ) ;


If ur still having that exception, copy and paste ur codes here let's see.

Sorry bro... The earlier written were for Java. My codes have been modified.

int val = Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text);

Not Integer.Parse which is for java.
The above should work perfectly.

Like kobojunkie said, one of the properties of the textbox or one of the validation controls gives you what you want. But try:

try{
int val = Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text);
}
Catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("wrong input" ) ;

}

If(TextBox1.Text.Lenght == 0)
////
}
Or
If(TextBox1.Text.Equals(""))
{
}

Or
If(TextBox1.Text = String.Empty)
{
}
Any of this should do perferctly
Crime / Re: Nigerian Coupled Jailed For Beating Their Kids In The UK by gistme24(m): 4:27pm On Aug 15, 2012
Guys , let's just condemn this couple for their terrible actions, and not because they are Nigerians.
Some people here sound as if such folks only exist in Nigeria.
We read the news of a French lady gave out her daugther to be molested by a man, abi that one too nah Nigerian woman ? Or the Austrian man that locked up and slept with his duagther for years ? I could list so many more.

Career / Re: Where May I Work With Bsc In Physics In Nigeria? by gistme24(m): 9:53pm On Aug 11, 2012
Bros Nigerian firms only want to know that you have a degree, they may likely not bother about the field.
I know someone who studied Physics and works with Lagos state electricity board right now as a trainee engineer, although he was with an IT firm for some time before he got his current job.

So don't limit your search to your field alone.
Best of luck sir.

Sports / Re: No Respect For Carl Lewis - Usain Bolt by gistme24(m): 11:28pm On Aug 10, 2012
Why do some retired athletes get a hard on when a younger athlete is close to surpassing their records:
Pele With Messi, now Carl lewis with Bolt..

Can't they just be as gracious as Seb Coe who went out of his way to help Rudisha cement his name as probably the best in the 800M, or Michael Johnson whom many athletes still thank for his impart on their career.

Programming / Re: [Advice] Please How do I become a Programmer? by gistme24(m): 1:00pm On Aug 09, 2012
robzyone: Hey hacking aint a good thing. Try using the skills u learn 2 do sumtin positive rather than negative. We don't need more bad pple in d world. U can start wit java or Visual Basic. U can get books online, watch youtube for tutorials or enroll in a reliable school. Wish u d best as u follow dt line.

Hacking on its own is a term considered negative, which gave rise to the term Ethical Hacking.
And their are some programming languages Hackers use a lot eg C, LISP .

rudolph-bosco:
Please i am a young boy who has deep interest in computer and has great passion for programming and hacking,but i don't know where to start from,so that i would be able to learn it in away that anyone i learn would help me to understand the next one i would learn easily...please i beg u my bosses,brothers and sisters that are well grounded in this line i want to go to please help me make a list of some of the essential programming languages for developers and hackers that i need to know before i can stand up and call my self a programmer...thank you guys in anticipation and expectation of your help...God bless you all

Leave Hacking fore now. Build your programming skills, starting with C programming, then move upto C++ and then C# or java. Won't be easy , and you'll find lots of tutorials all line.
You can come to hacking later on.

dl_jbd: Thank God I found you guys. Am really interested but the cost of learning is damn high mehn...i dy hear tynz lyk 100k nd above...am already downloading Oracle 11g right now to be completed hopefully by tomorrow. Can you please give me the address of a place in Lagos where after I'm through with my personal training, I could just walk in and take the test. And how many months do you suggest I practise it before going for the test. And please, don't forget to say the cost of writing it...its very important...lol
thnx
Try first logic, they have offices in Oba Akran,Ikeja and on the Island. Their fee is very ok. How long your studying takes depends on you and your background.



Soyedele1: Wht is linux OS?will u need to format my system cos am using window 7..pls tell me more and what ur email address?

You do not have to format it. You can use softwares like VirtualMachine or VirttualBox that will enable you run OS smoothly. I have oracle installed on Oracle Linux and another on Solaris 10 on one system.


Soyedele1: I heard i can study OCA(PL/SQL and database adminstration fundamentals 1) on my own bt i ws told i will need an oracle database to work on..who can pls help me on how to get it?

I wrote my certification exam in PL/SQL OCA through self study. That was last year. Your exposure to any OOP language and SQL makes it easier.
Best of luck

What OS are you using?
check the permission of the oracle home bin directory.

Lots of international firms with presence in Nigeria recruit Nigerians and then second them to their offices here.
A pal of mine who schooled in Poland and works with IBM had such offers from IBM Nigeria and Google but decided to stay back in Poland.
So try applying to such firms, best of luck .

Politics / Re: Lagos Government Defends Makoko Demolition by gistme24(m): 4:47pm On Jul 19, 2012
I actually saw this story on Channels' News Big story some Months ago,where their community head said vacating is not the problem, but an alternative should be provided. But I ask why? They broke the law to be there in the first place.
Another shanty is springing up at Oworonshoki, close to the ferry jetty. The omo oni iles filled the lagoon front with refuse,encouraged the cart pushers to come dump refuse there, and sold off plots of "water" to people to erect their houses. Hence, the water side I used to go and relax with my pals on weekends,and seduce babes wink,has been turned into a stinking mess,you can't even stand close to the water,let alone eat fish caugth from it.
Let's do thigns right, they simply had to go.

Thank you for mentioning this. I am really proud that Nigerians are veracious readers. This is one of the best leadership books I have read. If you want to go further, you can also read " the four Es of leadership - Jack Welch" The Winning" - Jack Welch.

Been planning to, and now you hv mentioned it, I definitely will. This book changed my thinking in ways I can never explain.

Partly because practioners in nollywood hardly pick acts solely on merits. Its mostly a case of "who u sabi" and "wetin u go offer in return" .
Also, our movies nearly never makes a role for kids.
