Facework and not Facebook Lagos State tells workers

 



As practiced in most corporate organizations, social media network sites (Facebook, twitter, badoo, linkedin etc) are not allowed to be accessed on their corporate network. In the case that they do, it is restricted to a certain time of the day; usually from 4:00pm (or non-productive time of the organization).
Lagos State Government has joined our corporate organizations to bar its workers from using Facebook, Twitter and others.Staff are still allowed to access their personal mail like Yahoo and Gmail.

Workers who had attempted to log into their Facebook accounts on Monday were surprised when a login window popped up with inscription "Lagos State Internet User Portal".

A staff who spoke under anonymity, said government may have be pushed to take the harsh decision as some staff spent most part of the day on social networks rather than carry out their official duties. "Some staff use the office computer systems to chat on Facebook, twitter rather than doing their jobs when they come to work. Some come as early as 7:00am just to come and access Facebook and chat with their friends.

Windows Reserved Filenames

A colleague asked me to help name a folder with a certain name and when I did the name refused to stay. I kept trying and was so confused/annoyed as to why I couldn't rename the folder with the given name. I found out later that the name I was using to name the folder is a MS DOS/Windows reserved name that can't be used to name any folder. After the cut is a list of reserved names for Windows

Back N' Better

I learned another great lesson this past week: You can do without anything and anybody but God.
I started my blog a month and five days ago and I've been so dedicated such that I research everyday. I thought to myself during this time that a day will not pass me by without checking up on my blog or at least do some sort of findings on the "net". I was under the weather for a whole week and believe me, the only time I remember I had a blog was the first day. Thank God am BACK and BETTER and ready to share the little I know.

Hotmail, Microsoft free Web-based email system is to be replaced with its own email application that is part of the Microsoft Office Suite - Outlook.com.  Microsoft said Outlook.com will be compatible with mobile devices and social networking. This move is also to rival Google's Gmail service.
