ProgrammingRe: From " Python " To What Level ??????? by samsolite(m): 2:10am On Jan 13, 2013
[quote author=omo_to_dun]What is more important than the number of languages that you can wield is the number of applications that you have built with such tools. Far be it from me to advise anyone not to learn another language for I love learning languages too; however, proficiency in a particular language is the most alluring trait of any programmer. Of course, it is not necessarily the case that the fewer languages you know the better you will be at them since you have more time to practice them. Instead of going to Java, find books and tutorials on Advanced Python.[/quote]Please could you suggest projects for a beginner programmer?
ProgrammingRe: Ubuntu Operating System Comes To Android Smartphones by samsolite(m): 2:05am On Jan 13, 2013
lordZOUGA: Ubuntu is the most popular operating system
to be based on the Linux kernel -.
Linux Mint is presently topping the charts on distrowatch, though its also Debian/Ubuntu based.
ProgrammingRe: Ubuntu Operating System Comes To Android Smartphones by samsolite(m): 2:04am On Jan 13, 2013
lordZOUGA: Ubuntu is the most popular operating system
to be based on the Linux kernel - the code that
lets software and hardware work together. The London-based firm behind it, Canonical,
offers it for download free of charge and has
been helped by thousands of volunteers who
contribute to the open source project. The firm makes money back by offering
support and training and also plans to take a
share of sales from online marketplaces
offered by handset makers who adopt its
software. It estimates that more than 20 million PCs
already use it. In many cases these are older machines which
benefit from the fact it is less demanding on
computer power than Windows - and is virus-
free. Canonical says it will take a cut of sales from
manufacturer's stores The new version has been designed to work on
last and current-generation Android handsets
which share the Linux kernel. This means
Ubuntu can re-use existing software drivers to
control the hardware. There are already 45,000 native apps for the
system - albeit with several notable omissions
such as Adobe's Photoshop and the Office
suite, although alternatives do exist. Developers will be urged to adapt their apps'
interfaces to look different when running on a
phone's screen while offering the same core
functionality. To offer touch-based controls Ubuntu has
adopted the same QML (Qt modelling
language) framework being utilised by the
upcoming Blackberry 10 operating system. Mr Shuttleworth suggested this meant many
app makers would be familiar with the
technology. In addition Ubuntu can run web apps written in
the widely-adopted HTML5 language.

BusinessRe: Do It Yourself Importation Guide Free by samsolite(m): 6:06pm On Dec 13, 2012
The problem is that so many people are afraid to take even a step while others want to know everything to the point of being spoon fed. I believe the information on this thread, especially by the OP El Matteo, is enough for anybody willing to import.
As for me, I just signed up my UBA AfriCard. I'll have to learn by doing it.

NYSCRe: A thread for corpers posted to Jigawa by samsolite(m): 7:00pm On Nov 03, 2012
My candid advice to all corps members is this; always have an open mind no matter where you were posted to.

You may not find the first week in camp funny, but I bet you by the end of the second week, you'd wish camp never ends.
As for life after camp, there's nothing to be afraid of. JG has been peaceful and like someone rightly pointed out, get prepared for the cold season because It also gets cold, even in the desert.

See you in Fanisau camp

Besides, so people are still in bauchi,attending church.people are really deaf,am tired of crying for anybody
Please talk with reason. Don't you know there're indigenous Christians in Northern Nigeria? You want them to flee their home town? Lets join hands to support these suppressed, endangered Christians.

JG camp rocks! probably the best in Nigeria. the only challenges are water of which they're really working on, and bed space due 2 insufficient number of bunks.

Abeg, do they breed flies around here?

Music/RadioRe: Which Musical Instrument(s) Are You Playing Or Would Love To Play? by samsolite(m): 8:48pm On Jun 02, 2012
Onegai: There's decent info online and on youtube, but first, what type of learner are you? I'm very visual so I struggled to teach myself and wasn't disciplined, which is why I enrolled in a school. So figure that out first. Then, next look for a grade 1 keyboard book, because you need to master finger-ing and scales. Also, volunteer yourself to a church, so you get all the practice time in the world and learn. You need practice, all the theory in the world won't help strengthen your fingers and train your ear. Try this page:
http://readsheetmusic.info/basics_of_counting_rhythms.shtml

Train your ear to try and score music i.e, look for songs you like and figure out how they played it. Why don't you post where you are, and see if a NLer is close by to teach you?
Am also a visual learner. Tnks 4 the advice tho. Any NLer in Jos? your help will be appreciated.

Onegai: Play the piano, I taught myself, then my love for Classical and Opera made me go pay for lessons. Just bought a violin today, took it to MFM HQ for tuning, can't wait. Eye-balling a Cello. grin grin
Self taught? I've always wanted 2 learn d piano. Actually got started but got stuck. How do I go about it. Are there materials you can recommend?
NYSCRe: Marriage After NYSC: Why Do People Talk About This? by samsolite(m): 4:11pm On May 29, 2012
[quote author=Mynd_44]I hate to say this but this is common among ladies. Immediately they get to their final year, the sort of get desperate and the only thing they think of is marriage. They don't even want to build themselves up or get their career on the move. Note this applies to most not all[/quote]TrueTalk.... t'was like a competition amongst my final year lady-coursemates. To the extent some started wearing engagement ring when NOBODY engaged them.
