It pays to start with a real problem. What's the problem you're trying to solve, exactly?

Thanks. I think they are also known as "Actors".

You should probably befriend other teachers in the school and ask them for tips.

Congratulations, our Superb Super Eagles. We are so proud of you! Your humility and focus are contagious.

Congratulations, Stephen Keshi!
Congratulations, Nigerians!

God Bless Nigeria!

Super Eagles are soaring, and so would Nigeria". You have reignited that belief in every Nigerian. Thank you! Thank you! And Thank you!

My friend says it's working just fine.

@artistree: deactivating deposit/withdrawal alerts is a bad idea, and it may not necessarily stop them from sending birthday and holiday alerts.

Admin officer jobs.

diluminati: go to your bank and tell them to stop sending you alerts. there is no need blowing hot air

That's not a good idea, in my opinion. Alerts are very important or security reasons.

Most banks probably don't do that. What's the name of your bank?

Feelings for her? Give be a break. You wish to bleep her. You are experiencing feelings of horniness. Stop trying to sugarcoat it! Anyway, you've not told us why you've decided not to ... do ... what you want to do. "Being professional" sounds like a very weak reason to me. What does it even mean?

Horrible, if true. What's the source, though?

Decryptor: Why am i seeing Valentine threads all over NL Frontpage? It's not 14th yet and it's like this? Mayb on the said day, seun will change Nairaland page theme from green to pink. NL mods and Seun, i hail una o SMHID

If believing in love is a crime, then we are certainly guilty!

Hmm.

Goal! 3 - 1!

Nairaland's initial slowness was due to locks and deadlocks as a result of our decision to use InnoDB's strictest transaction isolation mode to protect the integrity of our database. We mitigated the problem a bit by breaking up long transactions, and tried to improve performance further with caching, but we still had to deal with occasional slow transactions locking up the forum a few times daily. So we switched to a system that uses the InnoDB's faster default isolation mode for hot, read-only pages. Writers block each other, but readers never block. This approach solved our problems and has scaled well with our increasing traffic over the past 11 months.

sarutobi: I don't know waht database he is using but I think he will be using mysql (that is what the previous platform was based on anyway). He could also be using sqlite. This database is very fast.

We use MySQL/InnoDB. It is much faster than SQLite and handles concurrency infinitely better. The query planner is not smart, but you can work around that.

Also I think seun is doing a lot of caching at the page level. Using tools like memcached or varnish to cache entire pages not just database results.

We don't do page-level caching. You can't do that on a forum like Nairaland. We do cache some hot queries, slow python functions, and page fragments. The idea of caching pages for an arbitrary amount of time (e.g. 5 minutes) is unacceptable to us. When people visit a page on a web forum, they expect to get the latest version of the page.

U will notice this when u log out of nairaland, the topics u see on the front page are not as up to date as wot u saw when u were logged in.

In our system, cached content is immediately invalidated when the underlying data is changed. We no not display stale content. When the contents of a page are changed, all cached items related to that change are instantly invalidated. If you notice this problem, it may be an issue with your ISP. Are you on the Etisalat network?

Ileke-IdI:
Smh so many scammers on NL. If Seun is not too careful, NL will become famous for 419ers

You've got it wrong. The fact that so many scammers have been publicly exposed on Nairaland is a good thing. When scammers are exposed, it becomes much harder for them to cheat people. By the grace of God, we will continue to expose scammers. Scammers will know Nairaland as the place to avoid if they don't want to be exposed. We won't stop exposing them.

Dudu_Negro: everything you witness in nairaland is a mirror of the way we are in society. ....the good, the bad and the ugly of it. the lack of sustainability you witness here is part of the reality in society - we dont know how to maintain.

This is false. We are merely re-assessing our priorities.

Well let me not blame the .net guy much because I don't know between him and Seun who first started.

You can check when the domain names were first registered.

I am against rape. I think it's detestable, horrible, and wicked. The act should be punished severely by every society and government.

[s]Generally, I don't support life imprisonment for any offence except first degree murder, because innocent people can be convicted so easily in Nigeria.[/s] This is incoherent. I will explain my thinking on the issue later.

Definitely second-hand.
