Yesterday was my day. Became a man by Nigerian Standards. I thank God for the 21 good (Ayf, I must admit) years. They were great years. Even though, like Oliver Twist, I might be dissatisfied, sheer reasoning has got me to realize that God had really favored me even though I did not merit it. Unmerited Favour. Lessons. Falls. Ups. Wonderful years. That's what I thank God for. And great friends. Having recieved more than 30 sms, numerous calls and another over 45 Facebook wall posts, gifts, and messages; I am wowed and humbled. Thanks a million. To those who celebrated my day in my absence, you're too much!!!

It was the bomb. Christopher Gardner is really amazing; his life story surpasses the movie. Here is a man, whose tall finger on the right is so darker than the one on the left because of dialling those old telephone (lol) boxes almost 200 times a day. For all of us, who were there, we know what we felt. My gains, I bring to you. Chris Gardner's son in reality at that time was 14 months old; he was made 5 in the movie because of the dialogue. The suffering, the sleeping in train stations, ghettos and airports were real. Chris was not new to money; this was a man that made $25,000 a year (not much either), but knew that life had better things in stock for him. He desired to be just two things; a stockbroker and a wonderful father - And he stuck to it.Most of us find this part disturbing; as opposed to some people with no goals, some of us have numerous dreams such that we cannot fulfill all in 7 lifetimes. Bro, Sis - it's time for us to focus, know what we want and desire, live it, and love it to the end. Happiness, attainment of this ...

Be on the lookout for spam e-mails spreading the Storm Worm malicious software (malware) which mention "F.B.I. vs. facebook". The e-mail directs the recipient to click on a link to view an article about the FBI and Facebook. Once the user clicks on the link, malware is downloaded to the Internet connected device and causes it to become infected and become part of the Storm Worm botnet. A botnet is a network of compromised machines under the control of a single user. Botnets are typically set up to facilitate criminal activity such as spam e-mail, identity theft, denial of service attacks, and spreading malware to other machines on the Internet. The Storm Worm virus has capitalized on various holidays and fictitious world events in the last year by sending millions of e-mails advertising an e-card link withinthe text of the spam e-mail. Be wary of any e-mail received from an unknown sender. Do not open any unsolicited e-mail and do not click on any links provided. Culled from IC3.gov

Custom Login Page A lot of folks have been asking me how to create a custom login page for their CPanel, Webmail etc. Here is it! It saves some people the 'so-called' rigour of having to type /cpanel or /webmail. In the old days you could simply redirect a user to  http://user:pass@domain.com:2082 to log them into their cPanel interface.  However recent security enhancements to web browsers now prevent this. You can embed a cPanel, WHM or Webmail login on your own web page if you so desire.  It's actually fairly simple. This functionality requires cPanel 9.4.1 or later. This is how? <?php  // Uncomment the   //  lines below  //  what you wish to  //  login to. Only 1  //  section should be  //  uncommented.  #cPanel  $protocol = 'http';  $port = 2082;  #Secure cPanel  //$protocol = 'https';  //$port = 2083;  #WHM  //$protocol = 'http';  //$port = 2086;  #Secure WHM  //$protocol = 'https';  //$port = 2087;  #Webmail  //$protocol = 'http';  //$port = 2095;  #Secure Webmail  //$protocol = 'https';  //$port = 2096;?><!-- Code Listing Continued --><html><b>cPanel Login</b><br><?php  if ($_GET['failed'] == "1") {    echo "Your login attempt failed!";  }  echo "<form action=\"" . $protocol .
