...I'l do anything...
Er... Permit to go a bit off-topic here... 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..."

Alright, back on track, I'd love to volunteer, but there're other obligations I have to fulfill at the moment. Maybe sometime later.

Vodacom or Vodafone? Because Vodacom came to Nigeria and left... Just wondering...
Webmasters › Re: Website Design Critique by shockreaction(op): 10:09am On Jun 30, 2005
Simplicity is the point, and I used CSS all the way. Plain is good too. I really hate bloat (excessive use of Flash and/or applets, flashy GIF animations, and such) that results in long loading times for web pages, and I don't want other people to experience that. I'm only going to put up a few good images that I can get ahold of later on. Besides, web design isn't really my major area of concern. It's practically a pain in the arse, but hey, if the pay's good, I'll have to improvise. It's basically web application development smiley

The ads are just there as an additional source of income... Nothing major. I'd probably reduce the size when I get something else to put on the homepage.

Thanks for the input.
Celebrities › Re: Most Beautiful Nigerian Actress/Actresses by shockreaction(m): 7:16pm On Jun 29, 2005
For me, the most beautiful Nigerian actresses are probably the less known ones. Yes, I actually do get to see some Nigerian movie previews (although I hardly watch TV, especially Nigerian stations), but just once in a green moon.

Anyway, sometimes, I get to see some oh-so-fine girl, who's more goodlooking than the five listed above.
Webmasters › Website Design Critique by shockreaction(op): 6:24pm On Jun 29, 2005
I've been working on a site with a simple design for my SOHO... web design and web application development. It's not complete yet. I'm going to put a bunch of more stuff on the right hand side of the home page, and the team page is empty. Working on that too. Every other thing (not as if it's much, lol) is functional.

http://www.definedworks.com/

So I would like everyone's opinion (if you can be bothered tongue) about the design, layout and colours, and what may be done to improve it.

Thanks.
Romance › Re: Torn Between Two Lovers by shockreaction(m): 9:08am On Jun 29, 2005
Well, it's either you let them both know the truth. Engage in a conversation with both of them (that is, all three of you together), and work things out. You may decide to marry them both (tho, this might cause more problems later).
Or, you will have to choose one over the other. You'd probably go for the one who you think would give you less trouble, and that kind of thing.

It's generally not a good idea to keep both of them in oblivion. Just let them know.
Romance › Re: Who should be the provider in a relationship? by shockreaction(m): 3:56pm On Jun 28, 2005
Uh... it's meant to be reciprocal. Both parties should try to support each other. Of course, the person with more money would provide more, and such.

Eh? I'm just "hoping" Nigeria wins. We're very "capable" of messing up. Look at what happened against South Korea.
Romance › Re: Proper Stages of a Relationship by shockreaction(m): 3:34pm On Jun 28, 2005
Friendship cannot be the first thing. Dating is the first.

Friendship comes if a dating offer is refused. For instance, I meet a girl that I like, I ask her out. She says yes, we start with the dating stage. She says no, but we can be friends, and I can decide to be friends or not to be friends with her.

From there on, it's intimacy and/or companionship depending on how the dating goes. Sometimes, friends can get intimate, which is unplanned.

So it's either
Dating -> Companionship/Intimacy
or
Friendship -> (rare) Intimacy -> Companionship.

There.

Nairaland General › Re: How Did You Discover Nairaland? by shockreaction(m): 3:58pm On Jun 24, 2005
Google Search for MTS First Wireless... was actually looking for their web site. Came across nairaland in the search results, saw some interesting topics, visited the administrator (Seun)'s homepage and the links from there, then decided to join.

Dude, you really need to move on and find someone who appreciates you. And here's an interesting read for you and well, everyone else: The Ladder Theory
Romance › Re: 15 year old Girl with a Boyfriend of 28? by shockreaction(m): 6:49am On Jun 24, 2005
There is nothing "wrong" with having a relationship with him. The only problem is the way the society sees it... Obviously, most people, if not all, will be against it because you will be considered too young. You've not even reached the age of consent (16, I guess) yet, so, yeah, the older guy may be considered a sick pedophile, by some people...
TV/Movies › Re: The Notebook (a movie) by shockreaction(m): 6:44am On Jun 23, 2005
I'm not much of a fan of romantic movies, but I'll see the movie... with a girlfriend... when I've got one. tongue
Crime › Re: She's been raped. Who is to be blamed? by shockreaction(m): 6:29am On Jun 23, 2005
There's this thing called "self-control"... Trust me, keeping yourself from having sex isn't that tasking. Just find something else to keep you very occupied.

No, provocative dressing isn't an excuse for a guy to carry out something as harmful/stupid as rape. It's just so inhumane. If the girl is consenting, then there's absolutely no problem. But if she isn't, you have got to respect her, and her feelings, no matter how she's dressed, even if she's completely naked (but that's just asking for trouble).

And for chicks, they know what they are capable of doing to a guy's mind when they're dressed like that... They most likely want to tease and/or gain the upper hand (need to put this statement in a better way), I guess.
TV/Movies › Re: Best Movie of 2005? by shockreaction(m): 8:46pm On Jun 22, 2005
Shaolin Soccer's old (although I haven't seen it). You should see Kung Fu Hustle, also by Stephen Chow!
Romance › Re: He saw me, so must he 'toast' me? by shockreaction(m): 8:09pm On Jun 22, 2005
Once again, the reason I find it difficult to approach girls/women in a public area to talk to them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a guy approaching a girl to get to know her and engage in any sort of interesting conversation and such.
TV/Movies › Re: What do you love about Gulder Ultimate Search? by shockreaction(m): 8:05pm On Jun 22, 2005
Nothing.

I hardly watch TV, really. Plus I really don't like reality shows - I guess that's what Gulder Ultimate Search is.

Seun:
If she reads this she will be discouraged and when we try to interview her she'll reject it.
Haha... You've got to visit Hollywood movie critic sites to find out how much they bash some actors... It's very painful, to say the "least". Besides, the actors aren't even bothered as far as they're making their money smiley

And no, I'm not bashing her. I'm only trying to point out that she should check her facts, well, so that she doesn't have to make ridiculous statements next time. I have nothing against her. Heck, I'd even ask her out if I got the chance, although I might get the "You're not my type" response, but that's another issue entirely.
TV/Movies › Re: Genevieve Nnaji for Hollywood? by shockreaction(m): 3:51pm On Jun 22, 2005
Hollywood is not better than Nollywood, it’s just that they have better tricks to make the movies look real...
First of all, anyone see a contradiction here?

Next, the statement, "Hollywood is not better than Nollywood" is the stupidest thing I've come across in a while now. Aside from the fact that 99% of Nigerian movies released are not original, they just don't cut it; well, for me that is. And what's with the trend of new Nigerian movies releasing parts 1 and 2 these days (I know, because my mum watches them, not me)? Almost 90% of the new ones I've come across have 2 or more parts. Gosh, it just sucks. Nigerians should be creative, and strive to be better, and try to do something of good quality and not redo the same thing over and over again, managing with very poor resources and such...
