Romance › Re: 10 Reasons To Date A Geek... by sbucareer(f): 8:03am On Jan 07, 2006

I feel you, It’s not generally realized that geeks (male and female) are the best catches. Londoners focus on the glamor of the good-looking, the male jock and the statuesque female, and tend to make fun of second banana characters like Urkel. Yet, geeks (a.k.a. nerds, etc.) provide the opportunity to have much longer, more stable, and happy relationships. Here are the top ten reasons:

1. Geeks don't cheat. Geeks know that the grass only seems greener on the other side. They instinctively stay devotedly loyal to their lovers through thick and thin. Their social skills are also not well developed enough to support an affair.

2. Geeks appreciate their mates. Since you are likely to be one of the first persons a geek has ever had a significant relationship with, you will be treated well. A geek knows that there aren’t a whole lot of other possibilities. Frankly, geeks aren't quite sure how they ended up with the person they have attracted. When you date a geek, you know that geek will be yours for as long as you wish.

3. Geeks haven't formed bad relationship habits. After years of dating other people, the socially successful have become too confident to be intimate, think of partners as being only for their self-gratification, and focus on making themselves happy. None of this is true of a geek. The lack of past romantic partners allows the geek to approach lovers with the zest of a neophyte. Geeks are not full of romantic confidence. However, once encouraged, they are eager to please and enjoy their relationship.

4. Geeks are good at the things they try. Every geek has skills passionately developed over a long period of time. It could be role playing, chess, hacking, playing video games, or the ability to properly assemble a computer. So you know that geeks won't quit until they have learned how to make their relationship the best.

5. Geeks are not interested in status. Geeks became geeks because they chose to spend their time doing things that would not necessarily make them popular with everyone else in school, like sports and fashion. The ability to resist peer pressure is important to geeks. This means that a geek is more interested in your happiness than in looking good to others.

6. Geeks have imagination. Boredom is important to avoid to the game playing geek. A geek will seek new and creative ways to play, and this translates to relationships as well.

7. Geeks are happy and successful in their chosen field. No matter what their education level, geeks are able to make good incomes doing work that they enjoy. That eliminates one of the most frequent causes of relationship problems, since people who don’t like their jobs may take it out on their significant other.

8. Geeks are analytical. If they don’t get it right the first time, they look at what they did and figure out what to change. And when they DO get it right, they still keep finding ways to improve on it.

9. Geeks can concentrate. Geeks can focus their energy on one task with total intensity. Granted, the task they are focusing on may have more to do with writing new software for their Blackberry, but the fact remains that a geek, once set upon a task, tirelessly sets about to achieving a goal.

All of which means that…

10. Geeks want to be the best at what they do. So they try harder. And they never stop trying.

Education › Re: 30 Years Old and Still Seeking University Admission by sbucareer(f): 6:56pm On Jan 06, 2006

Bill Gate, Dell computer and lots of then where college or high school drop out but that did not deter them from their ambition. A man without ambition is dead anyway. http://www.zpub.com/un/bill/. University is NOTHING these days.

A man with CCNA/MCSE would command fantastic salary to their degree counterpart. Richard Branson did not go to school and yet he can manage investment worth billions.

I remember at uni I was 22yrs then NOT 30yrs, because if I were; uni would be least of my worries. As of marriage, if you have money and generally a good man any woman will love you. One of the elements of marriage is to have child(ren)and bring them up in a modern society with your money you can do that.

Former British Prime Minister John Major did not go to university; he was a teacher in Nigeria. I remember my lecturer saying that these days, there are three people that will domain the world.

1. Data worker
2. Knowledge worker
3. Intelligence worker

He did not say university worker. We had the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and industrial age and now we are in information age. Many professional thinks that the next age is artificial intelligence age, a subset of information age.

Let me ask one question to everyone why do Nigeria graduates always seek for employment after graduation? We can be entrepreneurs. We don't even study want we love just what everyone is studying and hence do not have passion and interest in it, apart from making money from it.

Finally, uni or no uni a failure will always remain failure while a success will always remain successful.

Business › Re: Setting Up An ISP In Nigeria by sbucareer(op): 5:32pm On Jan 06, 2006

These are some extracts taken from my business plan when I open an ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Provider) in the UK. It is similiar for an ISP. The requirements here in the UK is already done for ISP. But I cannot compete with AOL, FreeServe, Bulldog etc. besides internet is very very cheap in the UK with broadband and all that.

Product and Service Description

There are few requirements and equipments for this business. The main concern is the monthly fixed-cost. I am
estimating that the total monthly running cost would be between £700 - £1000 excluding the total capital. Below is
the breakdown anaylsis

The currency conversation is base on 1 US dollar = 0.569508514

Qty (1) DX VOIP gateway E1/PRI $2875.00 - £1637.3370

Qty (1) CardSaver billing software/ base and 30 port license $2970.00 - £1691.4403

Qty (1) 1GB Broadband with 512kb downstream, about 64kb download and 32kb upload speed plus a static IP
and open UDP/RTP ports £40

Qty (1) E1/PRI voice circuit £125.00 per line, 8 lines needed £100 for 8 lines connection and £43 per line a
month, which £344 for 8 liness monthly running cost

Qty (1) Internet ISP for voice termination i.e Arbinet.com

Qty (1) Card maker or card printer

Qty (1) A PC/Server runing window 2000/XP Pro with a Monitor

Qty (1) Promotion and marketing strategy

These are the initial requirements for this business to start. The ones highlighted with red have been acquired and
the rest are still waiting info on them or on their way to acquiring it.
Service explanation
DX voice gateway E1/PRI is the standard telephony box that multiplex voice call into a PRI voice circuit into
Internet via a VOIP terminator
CardSaver billing software is a software installed into the PC that help and manage the billing and calling
information and keeps inventory of calls for later use.
ITSP
Page 4

These are the sort of information we need to post for this topic. Let not waste this resource, nairaland.com any thanks to senu and all the people that made this site available. We need to brainstorm and exchange vital knowledge please.

NOTE
The specs above is for ITSP in the UK. We need specs for ISP in Nigeria. If you need the business plan for ITSP, I could put it up here but it is all in £ and $ and most equipments and technologies are UK's

mimoh_mi, I will ask you this. Are you planning to leave the country any time soon or in the future? If the answer is yes then continue studying. I don't know about software industry in Nigeria. As an ex-military, you would have inside info regarding the system they use if any. Normally enterprise systems are used by big organisations like MOD (Minister Of Defence), banks, Sock Exchange, Railway industry, School, Shell, petroleum corps and government organisation. You could also use your knowledge to develop small enterprise system apps like ebay and other related apps.

Like you mentioned that you are studying the SCBCD, this cert is all about business components. You will be asked a lot about business requirements related questions that has nothing to do with IT. Here in the UK , this cert puts you among the elite of potential business component developer. Lot of jobs for you here, least with 1-2 years experience. I could not say more about Nigeria as their software industry if any, am not aware.

I have been developing Enterprise application for 5 years now, I started with J2EE and my firm now has adopted .NET 2.0 as their Enterprise platform. I have worked with COBRA, which was my first distributed application development. It you are looking for project goto http://www.getafreelancer.com/. If you are good you can get real money and challenging project and that will reinforce your ability in software development.

I have a project on my mind relating to Enterprise application, particularly Nigerians and African customers. It’s to do with integrating all the technologies in Nigeria today into one virtual environment. If you are interested drop me some lines I will post the requirement specification.

Ok, you are man (EJB Enterprise Java Bean), that is cool. Most of EJB gurus I know work for SAP or ABAP/4 (SAP is the name of the biggest European software company) If you are going to go solo you don’t necessary need to learn all these Enterprise applications i.e. Servlet, JSP, JNDI, JDBC CORBA etc. it would yield fruitless but if your ambition is to work for big software company learning Enterprise Application is just one component you will also need to learn business methods i.e. business analyst, you would also need to learn developing software life cycle using one of the many methodologies i.e SSADM. XP, Prototyping, SDM etc. You would also know how to plan business inception to deployment.

Another alternative is to become system programmer, which is very tedious and displacing. One person can NEVER develop Enterprise Application. It needs business professionals from different business function to provide specification requirements. i.e. Let say we are developing Enterprise Application for Nigeria defence, We need to understand their business function like, marine, airforce, solider, payroll, training, recruitment, store, procurement, allotment, food supply, medicine, scientist, students etc. One person can never understands all these business functions and mind you enterprise application is typically a software application hosted on an application server which simultaneously provides services to a large number of users, and share a collective resource of the organisation typically over a computer network. This is in contrast to the more common single-user software applications, which run on the user's own local computer, and serve only one user at a time. It could be said that ES (Enterprise System) is the system that lets upper management view the organization’s as one Entity.

Finally, to your project why connect to ISP with a Mobile phone it is very expensive and you can only get like data rate for a single full rate channel (Bm) the specs support data rates at 9600, 4800, 2400 , but no other simultaneous use. I.e. using a data-rate of 4800 baud does not leave any spare capacity for use at the same time.

If it is for business use many mobile application now have Internet access. Anyway, good luck with your project. Linux is for resource intensive apps i.e. servers and is not advisable to connect a Linux to the internet. Create a backbone infrastructure and connect you Linux box from a switch and program the switch to accept and drop packets i.e. allow only internal packets and put a firewall from you ISP to Cisco router even further put a proxy server to secure your critical systems.

If you are still wondering any other ways to convert pdf to word or vice versa then try my little program. It can convert any document to any format.

I have written this in java. If you don't understand java or don't know how to run java let me know I will write again to show the necessary tools and method to use.

Below is a java file that will convert any document to any format

}

You can write a GUI using AWT from java or useC++/MFC, LaTex or VB can convert the algorithm to any specific language. and you will have you very own desktop apps for converting documents. I hope it helps

4. Salaries for administrator in Nigerian with CCNA/MCSE
5. Typical deployment plan i.e WAN, MAN or LAN
6. Price tariff for customer on dial-up 56Kps, V.92/V.110/V.90, ISDN

Education › Re: Hnd Vs Bsc, B. Eng, Etc by sbucareer(f): 8:45pm On Jan 04, 2006

For a start BSc BEng are all honours degree, which, means someone, should honour you. Coming from academic attainment HND students do not undergo a final year project or thesis in their area of study in the UK. No placement program because they have not learnt sufficient skill to go for placement. All their first year units are beginner guide to their course. Second year when they are suppose to start learning stuff the course ends with a HND cert. I can tell you even in London most of HND students are lost. No skill, no solid background to any topic.

HND/HNC is just a preparation for Bachelors Honours degree. Like in the United Kingdom not that we have to follow what they do but as a reference to how they conduct their academic disposition.

If you did not get the required A-Levels for you chosen university and course, mostly 2-3 A-Level is sufficient to do any honours degree in the UK depending on the subject and course. If you are an adult student with sufficient work history for a chosen course you are normally given a BSc B.Eng honour degree after a compulsory test. Depend on the result outcome you could be offered a place on BSc, B.Eng, HND, HNC.

I remembered when I cam to UK I left ABU Zaria after completing year one. I was on holidays actually and decide to stay, my dad was furious until I promised him I will continue with my education in the UK. Anyway I meet a girl from ABU Zaria she came to study but either one of us had A-Level. We were told to go to college and do A-Level or access course for two years but either of us is willing to do that.

To cut the story short, we physically when to see the Course Director of SCISM (School of Information System and Mathematics) and persuaded him to give us a chance with our Nigerian qualification, eventually out of luck he agreed but we will need to sit for a 2 hours test on Mathematics and Communication literature. Anyway I passed both scoring above 60% but the girl did very badly at her mathematics and score very high marks on her communication literature scoring above 70%. She was offered HND Computer Studies and I was offered a BSc Computer Science. We both graduated the same year as I got a year out to work for Goldman Sachs as a placement year. In Nigeria we call it NYSC.

Finally in here HND student only need 18 months to become BSc I don't know how this is arranged in Nigeria. Making a total of 31/2 year compare to 3 years of BSc and 4 if you did placement year.
Conclusion, there is a fine difference between HND and Bachelors degree and should not be compared at all. HND has is on value and place in the society like vocational certificates and professional certs.

Computers › Re: Getting Certified For IT Helpdesk or Technical Support Jobs by sbucareer(f): 3:02pm On Jan 04, 2006

Hi Nosleep4uk,

You are better off with MCP, A+ and PC Build and Maintenance are just another way of sucking money from people. Although these courses will be useful for beginners with little or no IT knowledge but you would soon find it boring as everyone in the world that is interested in IT has used or are using computing.

Beside, MCP will teach you all these A+ in advance way. Let look at the topics covered in MCP. MCP is one element of MCSA/MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Administrator/Engineer)

"Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) candidates are required to pass one current Microsoft certification exam that provides a valid and reliable measure of technical proficiency and expertise (a current exam is any that has not been retired). " (1) http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcp/requirements.asp

There are series of exams to makes you MCSA/E. for MCSA below are the elements:

1. Exam 70–2101: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
1. Exam 70–270: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional
( One required)

2. Exam 70–2151: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
3. Exam 70–218: Managing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Environment

4. Selective from here http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcsa/requirements.asp

This would make you become MCSA, but one of them would make you MCP. For MCSE see here http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcse/windows2003/

Make sure that your investment in studying and acquiring these certs would fetch you jobs as IT is in decline by global outsourcing pandemic.

If you ask me I would recommend CCNA. This is the real IT Engineering. Only 2% of their certs students actually get CCNIE. Many of CCNA, CCNP are all well placed in IT industry. I know people will challenge me here. Lets be candid for now. MCSE/A is for Microsoft and it related technologies that keeps changing every year but CCN is not only for Cisco system but WAN, MAN, ATM, FIBER OPTIC, GPS, GPRS, WIRELESS and etc technologies. These are the real IT Engineers for me. I would personally go for CCNA to MCSE.

Finally, Microsoft is only a software company they do NOT build most of their hardware. There is a different. That is why you had to study A+ like senu said before going into software. Believe me if you can pass CCNA you don't need to read about MCSE to pass it.

My advice if anyone can take it is to start moving away from IT. IT is generic, everyone knows IT. My Nephew can now program Ada (A 3rd generation Language) by Ada Lovelace a Mathematician in America. And her sister (Nephew) can fix any computer gliche. I am not suprise they are thought at school. And if you are bend on learning IT and getting certs for it do the Open Source Software(OSeS) ie. Unix They are difficult to configure and debug. Many companies uses them for critical mession system i.e. bank Stock exchange etc. not only they are not susceptible to virus they are free. Workstation in a company can have only 2 or 3 technicians to help administer them. Even worse outsource it. I remember my first IT job after graduation. I worked for a company I would not mention their name here and two of us where in a small council room answering calls from big companies like National Health Service (NHS), Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and Housing Association in the borough of Southwark and Lewisham. The staff calls us to log erros, we help them to fix it if we can and if we cannot we will dispatch Line 2 officers to physical go and fix it. I can tell you 99.9% of time we can help them over the phone. Problems like I can't login, passwd expire I cannot connect to internet, my browser cannot read some special web apps i.e. download shockwave from macromedia etc.

Many companies are doing this to reduce cost and put people, IT prof out of job. So, be careful with acquiring all these certs and find yourself in debt or no jobs.

But CCNA, you can not do it remotely infact there is demind for CCNA, the course it though but if you can get it you are in bether position for job to MCSE. Typical jobs for CCNA

1. Setup ISP
2. Setup Enterprise Information infrastructure
3. Connection two different geographical company together (WAN) i.e Microsoft in CA to Microsoft in India CA.com=India.com
4. etc., challenging haa...

I will stop here for now

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Looking For A Challenging I.T. Job by sbucareer(f): 1:05pm On Jan 04, 2006

Hello Muhammed,

Happy New Year. Erm, before I start I'd like to know your particular area of interest. You mentioned Java and Linux emphasising your skills with series of cert.

Are you working for any organisation? or Who was your last employer? I am asking these questions as to give you my opinion on challenging Jobs in IT.

As you well mentioned in your write-up as a Mathematician embarking career in IT, you are in the better position to BSc Computer Science but not necessary better. Anyway, As you must have gathered Java is just a tool for developing suits of Applications like:

1. Standalone application
2. Distributed Enterprise Application
3. Network and Mobile Communication Application
3. Games and AWT apps (Abstract Window Toolkit)
4. Internet Application (HTTP, FTP, SSH, GOPHER etc)
5. Wireless Apps etc

You said your are developing a Linux application for Mobile communication using CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), a technology for digital transmission of radio signals between, for example, a mobile telephone and a radio base station.

With these I would place you in my list category of 3 (Network and Mobile Communication Application developer). With Linux environment you are better off developing for Enterprise Application. And don’t sell it, licence it per number of users and make sure you can detect how many users are using your application by using auto update you know what I am saying.

I am a software Consultant in United Kingdom. I have worked in many projects like SAP, Enterprise system development i.e. capital investment banking, Enterprise infrastructure deployment using these tools C++, Java Perl and Cobol. My last and new hobby now is system termination, integration and migration. And again don’t limit your tool to just java. Linux provides many programming tool like C, Perl, Shell, python and C++. Try and learn other tool with your amount of intelligence it will not take you more than two weeks to learn these tools.

If you are going solo and wanting advice this is what you’d to do. If you have access to dedicated Internet at home if not try VSAT, you could even supply surrounding friends and family and charge them to make your money, like your own ISP (Internet Service Provider) it is very easy to setup, google Internet and download materials on howto. Once you have dedicated Internet at home host your own web server you can even charge people to host their site. Make sure you use free software. You should be familiar with Open Source Software (OSS) since you use Linux. Secure and lock down you Linux only open port 80 and shutdown telnet, ftp etc. If you need remote login use SSH (Secure SHell). Develop your website and use paypal to collect you money for the time been till you become big to handle e-commerce i.e. credit cards. I will stop now, but I will write again when I hear from you. Good Luck

Business › Re: Global Business Outsourcing and Nigeria by sbucareer(f): 12:48am On Dec 25, 2005

I have finally arrived at a topic that could allow me to challenge the people of Nigeria and it governance. I know this topic is about couple of months old but I particularly hope that readers are still able to read comments added or the system has a way to send added comments to their members that participate on this topic.

First of all let be candid and courageous. Is Nigeria ever going to change for better? The best post I read was from Seun, I must admit he enumerated the tasks Nigeria and Nigerian perhaps have to undergo. The first one was “let concentrate on leadership”, well he said it all. What is leadership? And who make leaders? And what constitutes a leadership. Well if you ask me a lot and Nigerians is not taking that emphasis very seriously. We put any person in that post and we expect better of them. If you apply for a managerial position the requirements for that post must be meet with relevant experience, but in Nigeria any cowboy comes and rule us. People that is not even fit to be your friends and yet we allow them to rule us.

Let look at great world i.e Europe America china and the rest, they have all fought and die for their country and massive upraise from unsatisfied citizens. Nigeria CANNOT kill and imprison everybody if we stand up and fight for our good Nigeria. South African has done it and Britain has done it “The Battle of Banswick” etc.

We lack management and leadership, after the G7 submit 2005 in the UK, we were directed to a www.bbc.co.uk/ to leave feedback on the decision to cancel third world debt and Nigeria was jubilating and an unknown source said that Nigeria should be ashamed of herself that she should be the one cancelling debts for other countries. I came to realise that America owes $3.2 Trillion and is not complaining, don’t misunderstand me, I know it is all politics but the truth is that we lack the professional entity to guide us but we are prepare to elect criminals to lead us and tomorrow we start to morn.

Now let digress to social and economic, Nigeria do not represent its diverse culture in the house of Assembly, Rep and Senate. This is another important issue. As Nigerian we need to represent all states if we are really practising democracy. The entire National infrastructure is either at Lagos or Abuja, why? If any one knows about strategic planning in term of conflict, which will come when we decide to wake up from sleep. Other countries will like to challenge our ways of life. If at that time we have our entire infrastructure at on place, to disable us will be easy pee zeey. Why do a particular tribe dominates the federal post.

If we can amend and plan our country well in terms of infrastructure and political tertiary, then global business opportunity will become a necessity. Like one of my white friend said, that Africa is a sleeping giant particularly Nigeria and South Africa. I did not take his words because I know I will be dead by then.

The major fad a government has to do is to make everybody in its constituents accountable for their actions, even the office of the presidency. We need to know how much they earn, businesses they have before joining the office and we SHOULD have a public enquiry in all aspect of our daily life, particularly in public post. And for gods sake we should site down (top lawyers) and rewrite or amend the laws. We do not need Colonial laws it does not help us we need to make our laws and we need a very solid ways to create punishment for offenders and rehabilitation i.e. look at China program and strategic plan. I remember very well the world condemned China and called them barbaric, now they are the envy of the whole world. If a policy work why not use it and discard it if it does not.

Finally, if Nigerian becomes a better place to live and work and a good government policy and favourable conditions, believe me technology is second to Nigerian. I remember when we were growing up, my dad usually buys news paper on his way to pick us up try school at 1:30pm, which is around how his brake time. The newspaper is left behind whilst he return to work. I read a man (Ibo) built a helicopter what did Nigeria government did for him? I also learn that an Ibo man again actually a PhD lecturer have developed a full complete Africa car prototype and Nigerian is not helping him with funds and South Africa president is keen on acquiring the prototype. An Ibo man in America was the first guy to research and introduce what is know today as super computer. He is a Mathematician and a brilliant mind. I know there are other Nigerians like all these people. But there are all scattered around the world for economic migration and have produce tow to three generations in their respective settlements. But we can change that and we can challenge the world economy.

Mind you fraud stars to me are brilliant minds in a wrong profession. If these minds are put into proper use the reword is enormous, and this is what we need to focus. I will say this. Technology only comes from a stable mind and one should be thankful to have come from a stable country.
