i was waiting to hear from them before replying. courtesy demands i give you guys a feed back for your efforts.
well, i had once built a static page and knew html. so i used 'form' tags that accepted data entries like first_name, last_name, staff_id, etc to a database (didnt create d database) and included a simple php script that shows the time.i told them the extent i could do. i didnt have to lie. they checked online for d site i did. and they also gave me a simple prograaming task and said i could use any language to solve it but they wanted to see program flow (i broke them into blocks. yes, u all know subroutines). and they wanted a flow chart of the solution. flowchart na easykill.
they actually said they were ok with the form. d other guys for the screening were wondering why i had to go in with my laptop.

-they called moi! though originally the interview wasnt IT related, i am told i will be working in their it dept.

what i wonder is what i would have looked like to myself if i had gone there with nothing at all. i'd never had forgiven myself, turned out they only wanted to see my programming.they were more interested in my coding than the looks of the page itself.
they would have thought of me as simply not motivated. i had told that day i had not tried out a dynamic page successfully yet. and they still asked me to see what i can do.
tanks guys for your candid words. i appreciate.

@lojik -never say never bro. tanx

challenges help some to get better. at the very worst i'd try, 'never say never' is a motivator for me. besides, i'd have to learn it, if not now -another time which is worse. sorry to dissappoint but i'm going on with it. i'm not waiting to tell them i cant do it, i'd rather go with a trial.
it may be a chickenstuff for the gurus in the house to respond to but i'll be back with a success story -I ASSURE U!
cheers and tanx DualCore

i had an interview for a job in abj today. though originally the job vacancy wasnt ict related but when the interviewers cross examined me and learnt i read computer science in school. have once developed a salary calculator and happen to have designed a website before (though i told them it was only a static webpage) they requested that if i could develop a dynamic page and come with it tomorrow tuesday 20th, i'd be offered an immediate employment after screening (infact the webpage is my own screening). they infact asked me to go and get on it immediately.
now, d problem:
the static site i once developed was with dreamweaver and though i have been learning php (thanks to quadrillio's tutorials) i'm not certain how to begin this -developing d form. can dreamweaver effectively do this? and how? though the programming isnt much stress for me to write in subroutines, connecting to a db is an issue. the webpage should have a form that accepts data (basic info: staff name, staff id etc) and store in a db. my problem is the form which should appear in tree-like form. like and hierrachy of staff
plssss guys, i'm waiting for your responses. tanx

for those dat don't know wat this is called, open ur naija dictionary to NATIONAL CAKE. no wonder cake no even dey d list

Travelista:
Only in Nigeria would the father of a suspected terrorist be granted a private audience with the President. What on earth could the father have to say that he can't say to the nation? He and and his spoiled backside of a son have caused more than enough trouble; I hope he doesn't expect Jonathan to speak to Obama about his son's charges.

u dey this country at all? did u follow the story at all?     @22, the boy is a grown man and his father cannot take responsibilities for the boy's actions. besides, in my opinion the father did more than an average father would do in cooperating with security operatives and even informing necessary authorities before hand who did nothing on their part.i do not think the father is to blame in any way at all

on speaking to obama on the boy's charges, i guess we'd have to wait to know the knid of leader jonathan may turn out to be.
so far, good steps on parts of all concerned.

years ago, just after uni. i used to travel to up-country branches on official duties, then i was temporarily working with a bank. when i got back from such trips, i always gave my mom some cash like i was giving her. after a while i'd need some bucks again and teased her to lend out to one in need she'd simply smile and agree and bring the exact amount i had given her. didnt occur to me then till later on. she never used it but kept it [knowing her son would come back for this temporarily kept treasure to loot again]     
he he he makes me laugh at myself these days. . .
God bless momsi! momsi u d best!!

If you have the view that people can not hold a political view without being driven by sentiments or interests then you are simply betraying what drives your own thought process.

well said.

@ olafolarin

It was way back in the days there was this bloke on my street I fancy so much that each time we come in contact (passing by or buying stuff from the corner shops), my goes gbamgbam and wish he would just toast me there and then and my answer to d 'toasting' has been rehearsed in my head severally but omo boy no gree toast o.
Eventually,we exchanged pleasantries one day like that and he said there is something he will like to ask me. OMG dream coming true eventually,he said we should meet later on in d day.
I wore my best outfit,almost finished a can of perfume and even got there before him. When he eventually turned up, he asked if i've got the pacesetter novel-Wages of sin!!! To which I replied negative he thanked me and left, gaawwddd I nearly peed in my pant. I ended up hating him like poo and wouldnt even look in his direction anymore

hang on. . . there may be a matching story soon

kokoye:
I was 10 and my neighbourhood crush was 8. Of course we liked each other and used to play together like kids would usually do. A day after my 10th birthday party, I asked for a peck but  . . no! So I seized her book and would not give it back to her except I got the peck. The silly girl actually kissed me on the lips, gave me a very dirty slap and ran into her house! She locked their doors and started watching me thru a window, grinning.

The slap was painful but the kiss was rewarding . . check me out as I walked home - rubbing my cheek and grinning as well. Of course I spent the entire night thinking about the kiss.

All I asked for was a peck. What I got was a kiss and a dirty slap. was it worth it? Hell Yea!!

@worm, abeg repost ur reply

@question.

if they'd allow me use it, then i'm sure those swiss guys would know what to do with it and get me good returns within a very short time. but if i can't use it, then i might just as well return it immediately

thax alot pals. . . meanwhile
i was wondering why does some image file (.jpg) load into cpanel as text/x-generic instead of image/x-generic and eventually the image does not load when the index.htm url is run?
second, the <a href> link tags dont execute. when u click on the links on the homepage,it does not link to the page.

@omnipotence.
i personally use google alot. i'm no newbie to google. i spent sometime googling for it with differrent phrases but couldnt get the exact resolution. i just got manuals and tutorials. on the other hand, from people's hard earned experiences one could save time. reading through manuals and tutorials may not solve the issue. could be frustrating sometimes. i needed a sort of troubleshooting responses which some here have kindly helped out with.
thanks alot. will keep you guys posted if it sorts out
for me, NL buddies is faster and better as people actually answer the question directly when u're under heat to get things done fast.
gracias

how time+tech ridicles things

@ poster.
from experience, if you are a lady and u r certain he'll never find out, then stay mute, pls. personally, i always thot i cld handle such news (partner cheating) until i heard the news, FROM HER! ^{anyway d rest na story. . .} but if u're a guy, maybe u can consider telling her, nature's made it such that ladies forgive better without much damages _{after that day,i now wonder how they do it}

song title: Black Rain
artist: Incognito
album: No Time Like The Future
genre: Electronic
year: 1999

i read this write up wondering if the poster wrote all these sentiments-free minded or there's more to it. she certainly hasnt behaved like one who should be showered with much pity. in my own opinion, she hasnt conducted herself in a way that can provoke nationwide sentiment, or at least mine.
she'll serve to caution any reocurrence of her type in the near or farthest future, hopefully.  

can sade adu win grammy?

can seal crow win a grammy?

or maybe can sophia okonedo win oscar, ba?
