Hey bro..am doing good!

Ah..she'd have to wait for a while b4 the 2nd list is out. What was her Agg and course?

She got 56 in post utme,230+ in jamb,opting for applied art(Cant really remember the exact title of the course)

RobinHez:
Not yet..I'm at a confused state right now!

RobinHez hi,hope you are good bro? Hope no one was disappointed on this thread?

Anyway,jst checked my sis' admission status and she hasn't been offered yet.Just curious bro,any idea when the 2nd list wud likely be out?

GideonG:
Pls go ahead and download the sublimetext from the site. Just ignore the payment notification anytime it prompts up. U will never hav 2 pay it and can use it for years. It's just like Whatsapp at the point of registering, they will tell u dat u'll pay $0.99 after one year free usage. But all na wash... Na programmers strategies.

I am glad u are finding twitter bootsrap intriguing. At the end of the day try go back and polish ur skillz in jQuery, u'll wow clients and lastly graphics is one thing ive not given time to, but it's very important. Adobe ilustrator is a great tool! I still hav 2 find time to face graphics squarely, prolly when I'm done wit my current programming project at hand. How was the vibe at the studio? I trust u had a great time. There's no such feeling as doing what u luv doing and getting paid 4 it. Keep on keeping it real bro, we shall get there...

Bro,truely graphics is one thing i wish i cud grasp.........Adobe illustrator and photoshop!!!,wish i cud perfect on these bro, cos i want to be able to handle all aspects of a job perfectly.

By the way,twitter bootstrap is like a wyswyg(What you see is what you get) kinda platform.It helps you to achieve more without coding much.Which is gud because it saves you time..............A time will come there wunt even be coding again.There are so many shortcuts these days,i find out everyday.

Akjwyzepal:
Its great to have people who share same passion with you. Shouts 2 d webmasters @GideonG @Idgaf @mathew80 I luk foward 2 meeting u guys by God grace we would share knowledge and make sumthing greater than google and fb Amen.

A big Amen to that bro!!! Shout out to you.

Lusedo:

Am so so sorry bro.I dont like dropping my number on a public forum.If u cud send me ur mail or something,i cud email it 2 u.Or if u r ok with it,drop ur own numba,i wud call or text u with mine.

GideonG:
Hey guyz, IDGAF, matthew80 please check out the awesome text editor Sublime text here http://www.sublimetext.com/ .
The sublimetext3 I mentioned earlier is still in beta, so just go ahead and download the sublimetext2 I promise you will not go back to notepad++ once you can get a hang of it. Thanks

By the way,I didnt download it from the main site.Downloaded the cracked version through torrent.The original versions comes with an annoying message telling you to purchase a license.And yes it was Sublimetext2.

Twitter bootstrap? dont even know what to tell u...................It's just awesome!!! Cant believe av been so ignorant to this,been watching tutorials since yesterday.Tanks bro

Lusedo:

Really dont think i wud be going back to npp too soon

DharmyYinks:
Which one is ethical hacking

You could do a google search on it bro.You'll learn more about it.It's counter hacking.It's a method of fighting hackers by using penetration testing tools for finding a vulnerable machine,network or server and securing it before hackers or any malicious programs get through to it.

harjiyoung:
Are you a staylite or aspirant?

I'm an aspirant bro.

Adeshizzy:
I already know HTML up to HTML 5..I'm having challenges in JavaScript and I don't know much of CSS.. is there any tutorials that you can recommend

That's great! Later in the day,I wud check my tutorials and see which ones 2 recommend 4 u.

MzLarem:

Lmao!!! You wud be my wife soon nah u shud be happy 4 me.You know I have another passion 4 u so...................it's not compared 2 all dat

Lusedo:
bro pls can i learn from u. cus am impressed with ur words. Pls can u drop ur no so dt i can contact u directly

Lol....Tanks 4 d compliment.Am honored!

Learning from me wud be a problem cos am also a music producer.Am even working at the moment.Time is what I don't have and can promise.But I cud recommend gud tutorials that cud help you grow.Am quite hapi 4 ur interest and I pray today wud be a start 4 better ideas 4 u.

GideonG:
You are really awesome bro! Keep on keeping it real. My candid advise is that nobody should waste 300k in NIIT or even 50k in any computer institude, self development is the way. Passion is all it takes. The best programmers in the world are self taught programmers. That's the best advise I can giv anyday anytime. TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORN AND HUSTLE! No time. Like Nike always says, JUST DO IT!

Bro! Infact you are awesome!!! Same thing I keep telling people.The best programmers were self taught.Never pay 300k or whatever 2 NIIT or Aptech 2 learn something that you can get for free!!! Some wud give certificate as excuse,but there are professional exams one cud write to get those same or even higher certificates.By the way,employers need ur skill not a certificate 2 tell them ur skill.

GideonG,am rili hapi we share common understanding and interest.Lyk u wud say "Keep keeping it real bro!!!" Hoping 2 meet u soon.

Adeshizzy:
wow... I'm inspired... I wanna learn Web designing

Great step bro! i hope you're not just saying it.Act on it daily and see where you wud be!

By the way,web designing is easy,it just takes much practice to be so gud at it.Start learning HTML5 for a start,it is the building blocks of web design and the language of the web.

mrtopeqs:
I get your point............I buy into the idea of having an extra knowledge......if you add extra value than what your work is, it would be difficult to get relieved of your job to cut cost as you'll be too important to lose......I learnt something there, you inspire me to have another thing to work on during school so as to have a wider knowledge of things.
I think its a little bit of laziness that often kill our learning skill in Africa, but sometimes there's really no platform that we can use.
I'd like to be a motivational speaker, to try to encourage people to come out of their shell, guide them and show them the way of things, what to do and how to go about it. hopefully school will give me the chance to meet people like you, who are ready to also talk to people and advise them to try many things at a time, to set up a career seminar or something....just to encourage people.
anyway bro..............

God bless our hustle bro.

You just even motivated me!!!! I pray that God helps us in the right path of knowledge as we aspire to better ourselves.

Bro,whatever dream(s) you may have,never give up on it,for you will surely regret it someday.I admire motivational speakers a lot because i was inspired by one to be on this path that i am.I look forward to attending your seminar in the future.Cheers mate!

Ipinlaxy:
Make unilorin send me alert today ooo to mark my birthday.happy birthday to me

Happy birthday bro.Wish you the very finest things in life.I also pray that the almighty wud remember you on this special occasion and bless you with the much awaited,anticipated admission that you seek.

Adeshizzy:
Bro..Did you go to any computer institute to learn all this stuff.. I'm curious!!!!

Bro,every bit of computer skill I have,I taught myself.I have never received private tutorials from no one,only advises and constructive criticisms lyk from matthew80 and GideonG,that has really helped me to grow.It takes passion,thats just all it takes.I also taught myself Ethical hacking.......This is what most people pay N300,000-N750,000 to learn.

Really,there's nothing you want to learn that you can't.Everything is available for free.Lyk i said,all it takes is just passion and determination.You can even become a pro Doctor or Lawyer without spending a dime or even been around the four walls of a school.

mrtopeqs:
IDGAF

you're a web designer.....producer....aspiring student, if you come be everything, wetin go remain for us nah?

That was really funny bro i must say!!!!......................Bro,am a firm supporter of tapping deep into one's full potential.You know,scientists say the smartest person does not utilize more than 10% of the brain and yet look at all the inventions we have in the world.That always puzzles me.So i always try to learn anything i come across and see my limits.It's just that sometimes we dont stretch ourselves in Africa,especially the ladies.We wud be amazed at the awesome things we cud do!

Again,av learnt that people who get retrenched from jobs are often people who do not add an extra value to the company.Companies look at how they can manage cost and still achieve big.So,for instance,an employee employed for his knowledge on Web design but with an extra skill on the side,lets say ethical hacking,wud be spared his job compared to another employee with just the skill of Web design having no other edge.So,in this world that we live in,av learnt to always learn anything you have the opportunity of learning,for nothing is a waste.

By the way,am about to work on an artist's job now.So...........the more money for me!!! Lmao.

matthew80:
Never heard of it too. I work with npp.

I'm digging into it right away.

Me too! I work with npp.Infact a greater part of the Kaydexter project was done with npp.

But anything that cud be more efficient than what I already know? Am down with it.Npp is really an amazing tool I must say,so I hope Sublime text3 offers a distinct difference.

matthew80:
Seriously, you have to try to convince your clients on the choice of domain name. Do you know I carelessly missed out the final 's' in the address and landed at nowhere.

Really, the sight of the site captivated me. Cool matching colors.

I checked the about us page. The texts look small on Android. It would be great on wide screens though. (Laptops, pads...)

I'll advise you add \<meta tag>\ with width=device width and initial scale=1. (I had to manually zoom out ---pinched and reduced the size--- before it fits onto my screen).

The overall output is commendable.

Over to my boss@GideonG

Thanks for the advice and good words bro.Really do appreciate.It was a rush work trying to meet up with deadline.I just had 2 upload it without been done.There are still little touches am still adding even now.I wud definitely work on that.Am grateful.

GideonG:
That's very brilliant, it's good to pass through some stages... It grooms one to some kind of knowledge that only experience can give. Pls try using Sublime Text3 as text editor, it'll make u more productive compare to Notepad++, and Dreamweaver. Thanks, one love.

Sublime Text3.....Never heard of it! Coming from you,I'll definitely give it a shot immediately.Thanks for the advice once again bro.Please do keep it coming.Am always open 2 new ideas and experiences.

Wud start watching tutorials this morning on Twitter bootstrap.I think it's time I give it a shot.Tanks!

Greg Diezel


Nice one *thumbs up*

Thanks alot bro..............Am rili honored and grateful.

GideonG:
Wow that's really great of u 2 hv pulled that out as 1st version. Great colour combination and design. I like the fact that it's responsive and also pls try using much of twitter bootstrap if u are not already utilizing it. Lastly advise ur client to acquire a better domain name like kaydexter.com, kaydexter.com.ng, or kaydexter.ng for site visitors' convenience. Bravo!

Tanks for the compliment bro...........Rili appreciate it.Twitter bootstrap,never used it,been advised a couple of times,plus have seen the amazing things one could achieve with it.So impressive rili! Wud probably start giving it a thought.I just work with Bluegriffon,Dreamweaver or notepad++ .Depending on which i feel like using.

On Domain names,i do advise clients,but they have the final say.Though I advised the client to go 4 KUC.com for ease,but it wasnt available,and i told him 2 go for KUC.com.ng,but he insisted on what he's using now.

Thanks for the advice bro........Appreciate a great deal!!!

GideonG:
You already know it's usefulness since you wish to be like Seun of Nairaland. All you have to do is to convert the wish to a desire...
Seun is a programmer and a multi millionaire at that. Nairaland is making money

Dude! Check the site i designed for a client.i just uploaded it some minutes ago.Mistakenly deleted the "How To Apply" and Privacy Policy pages while trying to upload it online.It's back to square one on that.The site is Kaydexteruniversalconceptsdotcom

LEGITLAYO:
can you teach me how to screenshot on Windows 7?
I only know about win 8

Every windows 7 PC comes with a "Snipping tool" for capturing the screen or taking screen shots.You dont need to download any app to be able to do it.Just search for it on your start menu

DharmyYinks:
Can u guys believe I was banned by d anti-spam bot for d above post

Lmao!!! Seems the mod was drunk.Anyway waiting on the day Seun wud break his own rule.Wonder if he wud ban himself

I don't know why my intuition tells me the list would be out Tuesday.Exactly a week after the date Unilag's list was released.It's no source.It's just my speculation.

GideonG:
Thanks thanks thanks a great deal! God bless you!!!

By the way,yesterday was my brother's birhtday too.

JSMMUYIWA:
all these yeye wey una dey do no concern me jare.na unilorin admission dey ma mind jor.let's talk abt it.

You wey get better thing to talk.....Oya talk about it nah.Otherwise stay calm and observe.

Bottom line.There's nothing 2 talk about! So just stay calm,pray and av fun till the list comes out.That's what people are doing here to reduce the tension ok?
