₦airaland Forum

Hello everyone. First of all I will like to say I am glad there is a site like nairaland. I have spent a couple days on this site and I am very impressed. A few months ago I was in a discussion with some people(I am based in the US) about Nigeria. I was amazed that a lot of people still see africa as an undeveloped continent.

That got me thinking of putting together a site(mynigeriapics.com) that showed all the beautiful and developed side of Nigeria that we don't see on the TV.  It is still in Beta mode and I need your input what you like and don't like. What you would like to see on the site and what you don't want. Also if you have any good Pictures  or imaged of Nigeria please Upload them.

Thank you for the input

Did anyone Vblog the event. Wish I could have been there.

Thanks Dlux for your Reply. I am just curious why more people in Nigeria are not using Open Source software. they are mostly free and they Provide better Support. For example I found a site called Zimbra.com that offers a cooler email application than Outlook and exchange and it is free. Also all this new open source application are Compatible with Microsoft files.

I will also suggest as one the poster already suggested, do some research on google.

Also try,

w3schools.com/asp/default.asp

Have they created any innovative Software?

I noticed there are few programmers in here and I was wondering what kind of software/Application have you made and on what platform?

If you haven't worked on any contract work or designed a website for someone else. I will suggest setting up your own site to show case your talent and do a couple of free work for some people just to start to build you Portfolio.

Xp is better now.  Vista still has a bunch of bugs in it. I will wait a Year more before switching. Give em time to fix  the bugs.

I was was wondering how many people use open Source software instead of Microsoft Office in Nigeria. Or How many will switch to a Open Source Software that is free and Works almost like MS Office

For example:

OpenOffice.org VS Microsoft Office

Mcafee
