Cheap life can have more quality

Interestingly, people bring to themeselves complications when there can be more simple ways (though not always) to do whatever they intend to…… (just saying) ……. after a brief reflection i noticed that :

- people buy expensive commercial albums from our leading pop stars , meanwhile they can have free quality (search-for-lamplight) musics from uprising artists (from mixtapes, demos etc..)

- people buy expensive wine which is more dangerous to the body than chip fruits and/or Mineral water;

- people hurry into accidents when they could just roll slowly and arrive;

-people buy expensive dresses just because an expensive brand is put on it; meanwhile the same thing is done elsewhere without the brand, less less cheaper

and u can keep naming the rest……………….

We really can do simple and gain enormously

Firefox Download Manager shows negative speed

was browsing and launched a download and i realized a very funny phenomena; the downloading speed was NEGATIVE………………. kind of looking like you’re uploading to the server (weird)

here’s a screen capture

A rapid search on google gives me 2 possible bugs from  mozilla’s site which are :

• Bug 270397 – “Download Manager shows negative speed and current download size sometime after 2GB mark is reached. “
  ~~> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270397
• Bug 250347 – “concurrent downloads of the same file cause a negative download speed”
  ~~> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=250347

At this moment, i’m on FIREFOX 6.0.2

Howto use facebook chat

hello friends,

writing this post because i noticed most of my facebook friends are no longer handling properly that option on facebook. They actually stay connected for several hours on facebook but remain invisible on the chat meanwhile they really want to chat

to use the chat option, click on this icon (bottom right):after clicking on that, the chat windows rises and clings to the right coner like this :

now click on

(1)  that opens up another sub window  with 3 options (check figure below) :

- “available to chat” : if activated (like mine – with a “tick”), then you’re online, else click on it

- “chat sounds” : it’s purpose is to get sound notifications when someone writes you

- “limit availability” : here you can go further to specify the people (or group) for which you should be visible or not (when you click, you’ll know how to configure from logical judgement).

Thant’s all for the option (1).

Since the chat list(side bar) remainds attached to that right wall, you can bring it down just by clicking on the option(2)….

thanks for reading…i guess i’ll see more & more people online……:p

Secure further your Facebook account

Hello fellow readers ; today i’m going to show you guys how someone can secure further his facebook account. I’ll go straight to the topic without literature .

I – Principle :

The principle beneath this technique implemented by facebook is this ; facebook saves (and notifies you through email) the devices (phones, tablet PC, PCs etc..) you use to connect with into your facebook account. When this feature is activated, login into your facebook account will now have two phases.

1 – entering of login (email)+ password

2 – entering of a name (desired name) that you give to your browsing device.

That way you always know and are sure of which devices are used to access you account and hence, the user

II – Demonstration

Login into your facebook account and access your account settings :

Configure your account settings on facebook

when the account page opens , on the « «settings »  tab, go to « account  security » and click on « change » beside

Account security settings

after clicking on ‘change’, this option expands and you can observe more details ;

Facebook security account settings Fig 2

activate the checkbox « Login notifications« ; noted on the diagram as (2)

you can now save the modifictions then, logout. Re-login again to see the difference :

after entering email + password ; you’ll be asked to enter the computer’s name ;

login into facebook

enter a name that you can easily recognise ; after this step validate.

NB : If this is your personal laptop and you’re the only person using it ; it may be useless to always be entering the computer’s name whereas it’s your own PC. In this case, tick the checkbox below saying «Add to your list of recognised devices « . (save the device)

you’ll now be logged in without a problem, if you check the email you use in login with into your facebook account, you’ll notice that you’ll be notified on the device used to access your facebook account

inbox

NB : when u save the device, facebook will not disturb disturb you with the second login phase whenever you use that device to access your facebook account. Now, when someone gets to log into your facebook account, you’ll be notified by mail, and if you don’t recognise the device (name + date + time + IP adress + region) as specified by the mail ; you’ll know that someone other than you uses your account, and can decide to take necessary mesures like changing your password etc….

Thanks for reading !! :p

Stop / disable email notifications from Facebook account

Good morning dear viewers, just decided to bring up this post ignited by my friends on facebook who’s got this problem, i’ll go straight to the issue;

go to your account settings :

Howto access account settings(facebook)

a page a appears, now choose the third tab with title “notifications”

the notification pages appears like the one below; now deactivate the check boxes that you don’t want their notifications to be e-mailed to you. Be careful, it’s not because you hate those mails that you’ll blindly deactivate all.

Read properly, the’re still somethings I think needs to be e-mailed to you like most of the check boxes under “Groups” for those already using facebook groups

which to choose: tutorials or textbooks ??

Hi dear readers; one thing stroke my mind last night; it’s about a reflex that us  IT people tend to have in this profession. It’s the way we  gather knowledge to becoming professionals. Two options generally : reading tutorials && reading textbooks.

“A tutorial seeks to teach by example and supply the information to complete a certain task.” (read more here); meaning people learn here by WYSIWYG (what you see; is what you get) or better; “LEARN BY DOING”……and it turns out that learning through this method is rapid. You’ll know many things when u keep reading tutorials (in a short while). But then; one aspect is left out:::: the scientific knowledge underlying the tutorials you’re reading is most at times left out; and people tend to be very competent but incapable to scientifically back-up their professional doings….funny but luckily; all that theoretical stuff is not needed at work places..lol

Text books makes one rather dynamic is the sense that; all concepts are laid down in books; and with a brain that works out properly: that person can deal with very much varying practical situations (unlike tutorials which teaches you specific methods to handling specific problems most at times). But one need to take time to go through and digest all these knowledge in books. And we all know “patients” is something hard to get these days, plus it seems like wasting time on reading ONE book that tackles ‘so deeply’ a specific concept meanwhile technology is rapidly growing out there

i particularly welcome comments for this post; thanks for reading…………..,

Shloch at AfroVision

AfroVision is where i’ve been working since begining july (lazy to go look at the date…loool); lately this last weeks; i’ve been working by correspondance w/ a client (programmer too) through the internet. Maintaining an online website; it’s been enriching me; i’ve learned to understand “versioning” of codes by SVN firstly with netbeans and secondly (through research) with a rich linux package specialised in this job called KDESVN. The next job i’ll be doing will be to take a design (in the internet for example ) and integrate in the company’s framework.

Something i left a little bit long time ago will have to be re-kindled because i’m about to go back into hunting knowledge in javascript. Just basics to be able to carefully customize all that ajax and jQuery stuffs in the web

while i was blogging this; didiblaise was sleeping; this is the proof::::loool ::
