Heh, she was just probably mentally unstable at that point in time.

I'll date any woman that's capable of pushing my buttons... or what's that expression again?

I used images for the links so that the text would appear spaced up equally. The other alternative to this will be to use tables with text, but basically, using tables for layout is deprecated, following the standards. Also, note the size of the images, they're not huge. Just below 2kb. Meaning: No bloat.

- You have a website about web design, so you need to show people what you can do. i.e., show some features that are hard to be done by amateurs and that might attract customers.
Most "unique features" can be achieved through the use of third-party tools which are accessible to just about anyone.

This thread is to criticise your website, so when you get a negative feedback, try to think and ask about the reason, and not defend your work. There is no smoke without fire. This means that we wouldn't be saying negative things about your work if there was nothing wrong with it.
I shouldn't defend my work? There is a reason for the things I do, and that's what I'm trying to make clear to you.

Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. Your opinion is that the site is not professional and does not demonstrate that DefinedWorks is a professional Internet and Web consulting company specialising in Web Application Development and providing solutions for companies who want to establish a web presence.

Well, first of all, you should know that the primary focus is not web design. The sentence clearly states "professional Internet and Web consulting company specialising in Web Application Development and providing solutions for comapnies who want to establish a web presence."

So what's wrong with the work I've done on the pages? The layout? The design? The colour combination? The fonts? The lack of use of images? The code (which is compliant with the XHTML1/CSS standard by the way)?

Nah, I don't have to use Adobe Photoshop for anything. Besides, it's very expensive, meaning I don't have enough money to purchase it. And no, I'm not going to use a pirated version. That's illegal. You do NOT need Photoshop to be a "web designer".

Animation and rollover effects don't necessarily make a site any better. There're a lot of examples out there which make use of this, and they're no where near impressive.

"Control that guy in your pants"

Easier said than done man...

Behold

Well, except he wore some expensive Armani suit and extremely expensive underwear (?) to the "grocery" store, I don't see robbers stripping him bare as a plausible explanation.

And after being robbed, the "bed sheet"... Where did he get that from?

Or it might just be a practical joke by the guy...

Lol IAH... The "I think" part is good Just try to casually ask one of them on some random day if he's interested in having sex with you.

Well, according to the Ladder Theory, "A guy cannot be friends with a girl that he wants to sleep with".

Everyone should check it out. It's an interesting read at http://www.intellectualwhores.com/masterladder.html

Ok then, explain romance to me.

Longhorn looks interesting. I've read up a lot about it, and following up on the news. However, I won't bother installing any of the betas due to the reasons cited above a la slow with lots of bugs and crashes.

Oh yeah, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/longhorn/default.mspx too.

Yeah, me too. Especially the ones that say my love life won't be good if I don't send it to people. Generally, a chain letter doesn't continue past me...

Wait, what? I thought Bakassi was my backyard...

It's simple, really. Just go like this, "Will you marry me? Do not say no, do not say you'll think about it."
Then fart after asking. If she says no, then she doesn't love you. Move on.

Of course, you know you shouldn't take this post too seriously

Oh boy, another strangely interesting thread... It just keeps getting better!

I asked one of my female friends (who I met on the Internet, known for 2 years now and counting) what she finds romantic? From what I can recall, she replied:
- Walks on the beach at night (preferably moonlit)
- Holding each other sitting on a couch, looking into each other's eyes, and generally spending time together
- Spooning, kissing and such.

I don't see how any of the above-listed have financial requirements. Yes, you can be romantic without having to spend a freaking dime! You don't need to buy the whole world for you to be romantic. There are the little things that we don't usually pay much attention to, that are considered romantic such as playing with the girls hair, and some other examples which I am unable to come up with at this moment.

@danasco: No, taking your girlfriend to parties is definitely NOT romantic. You call your gf every two hours? Wow, quite a *cough*good*cough* use of money. Why not just go to see her? Spend quality time together, that kind of thing. Calling her every night to say goodnight is understandable, tho, if you're not living together.

Woo her back?

Haha, seriously, I'd respond positively if I'm interested in her, and if she's goodlooking and all. But then again, I'd need to be careful about what kind of person she is before I start getting really involved. Relationships are, well, unpredictable sometimes.

The thing about "love" (which I believe is what brought both parties together in the first place), is that one should be able to forgive the other no matter what has been done. And also forget too. And keep trusting in that person which is a quite naive thing to do, logically, but hey, love is something we'd probably never understand fully.

I don't understand. How is it going to affect our lives if we all stop speaking our native languages? Are we all going to die or what? English is the mostly accepted language around the world. Most of you Nigerians want to leave this country to explore, study, work and make money, and trust me, your native languages are next to useless outside Nigeria.

April 8. Now no one has an excuse for not giving me something on my birthday. I want 5000 Australian dollars, a laptop and one of the new gaming consoles.

There's actually no "best" way to break up. Ending a relationship is (should be) painful, for both parties, unfortunately. I'd recommend you do it in person. Meet her, talk to her, explain to her and be nice...
If she starts crying, try to comfort her, but do not go soft and decide to change your mind.

Hiya Desola. Welcome to Nairaland. Hope you enjoy yourself and have fun, etc, etc and the usual babblings...

By the way, I don't really get the concept of telling a girl/guy "you're the only cockroach in my cupboard"... Cockroaches are pests, right? And they're irritating, right? And they're meant to be killed, right?! Just pondering...

Heh, an interesting fact: The older a woman gets, the harder it is for her to reveal her age (in most cases). Sad, but true. Yes, I'm talking from experience, and other people have shared their experiences with me too.

I'm 18, by the way.

No, marriage isn't compulsory.

It's really not a good idea to say, "I'll do anything" because it may give some bizarre impressions to some (obviously) bizarre-thinking people... Anything means "Anything"... Anything! Just for emphasis. It's better to use "I'll do anything I can..."

shock.  are you satisfied that I've removed the post completely?

Aww, come on. You didn't have to do that. I was only playing with you.

Last time I checked, every man has a heart... so there's no way a man won't get to cry at one point or the other. Heck, I cried the first time I saw Gladiator, at the end where he died. Not cry as in out loud, but tears were just running down from my eyes. It was, strange, but anyway...

Wait, do you mean SQL?

If you want to get started with Oracle, http://www.oracle.com/technology/new/index.html is a good place to begin.

As for Linux, there're several Linux resources around, but I don't know of any good ones for beginners from the top of my head... I'll advise you to do a Google search for Linux start guide or Linux tutorials.
