When people come into your life for a SEASON
Its because your twin has com to share, grow and to learn
They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you never done
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy
Believe it! Its real! But, only for a SEASON.
Lifetime friendships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid, emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships,
And areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life!
If asked what's more important, my life or my friendship with you. I would sa my life and you would walk away, not knowing that my friendship with you is my life!

Apple patent application reveals an LCD with switchable, privacy-protecting viewing angles
Don't you hate it when the guy next to you on the subway is looking over your shoulder, watching you screw up in Fruit Ninja? Well, Apple could have predicted your discomfort -- back in November 2009, before the iPad was anything more than a unicorn, the company applied for a patent on an LCD display with adjustable viewing angles, explicitly designed to "shield the display away from unintended viewers." According to the filing, the display would include steering modules made of liquid crystal material, which aim the so-called scattering modules that sit on top of them. The top layer then redirects the light, making it possible to narrow down and alter the viewing angle. The patent specifically calls out cellphones and laptops, paving the way for discreet displays on MacBooks and iPhones, though the broad phrase "other portable electronic devices" leaves plenty of room for iPads and iPod Touches. No word, of course, on when or if Apple will secure this patent and if so, what devices might incorporate such screens. We may just be seeing this concept go public now, but it seems consumers could use this even more today than they did back in the fall of '09, when all they had to worry about was a stranger squinting at their 3GS' 3.5-inch screen.
Step by Step Guide to Setting Up a New Whm Cpanel Server for Web Hosting Accounts
This is a guide to setting up a new WHM cPanel Server to be used forweb hosting accounts. It is intended for web hosting company administrators and dedicated server owners. For under $99 per month, it is easier than ever to manage and run your own dedicated server. You can have guaranteed uptime from your datacenter, and outsourced support starting at $30/month. All you need to do is set up the server and get going. Whether it is for a web hosting company or a couple of personal websites, an inexpensive Linux server is powerful, reliable, and easy to setup.
Web Host Manager (WHM) is a common Linux based tool for managing websites on a server. Panel is a common control panel to manage an individual website. It allows you to add email accounts, view stats, make backups, install programs, etc. These 2 tools are the most inexpensive set used commonly to manage hosting accounts, and you will find them very prevalent in the budget shared hosting world. It usually adds about $20/month to the cost of a dedicated server but provides most of the features of the more expensive tools.
Whenever you order a dedicated server from a datacenter, you will receive a welcome email with details of theserver including the server name, ip addresses, and root password. This information will allow you to setup and configure WHM so that you can host websites and use your own custom Domain Nameserver instead of a raw IP address.and server contact email address.
1) Login to root WHM (http://:2086) 2) In the left margin, click Next to run the setup wizard 3) Agree to the end-user license agreement 4) Edit setup a. Server contact email address: info@yourdomain.com This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it b. Default Cpanel theme: x c. Default home directory: /home d. Home directory prefix: home e. Main shared virtual host IP: xx.xxx.xxx.xx (should be main IP of server) f. Hostname: server.yourserver.com g. Primary name server: dns1.yourserver.com h. Secondary name servers: dns2.yourserver.com I. Leave everything else unchanged j. Click Save
Next, you need to setup the system quota. To do this follows these instructions: 5) Click Next Step in left margin – system sets up initial quota. No need to wait for initial quota to setup….Click Next Step again 6) DOES NOT enable names ever. Click Next Step again
Now we need to setup the Resolve. This is specific to your datacenter and the information will be provided in the Welcome details for your dedicated server. 7) Resolve setup: a. Click Continue b. Primary Resolve: xx.xx.xx.xx (this is datacenter specific) c. Secondary Resolve: xx.xx.xx.xx (this is datacenter specific) d. Tertiary Resolve: leave blank e. Click Continue f. Click Next Step Not necessary to enter a MySQL root password 9) Click Finish
Initial setup is done, and you should now be able to login to root WHM. Now you can create the accounts needed to setup the name servers that you want to use on this dedicated server. 1) Login to root WHM again 2) “Create a New Account” (this is to be the main account: yourserver.com). Do not give this account a dedicated IP…. It will use the main server’s shared IP address. 3) Under “IP Functions”, click “Show IP address usage”. If only the mainserver IP is listed, that means you have to add the additional IP address to the server. Click “Add a New IP address”, and enter: xx.xx.xx.xx-xx Leave subnet mask unchanged, and click “Do It” 4) Click Show/Edit Reserved IPs, and check an IP to reserve it, and enter a reason (i.e. dns2.yourserver.com) 5) Under “DNS Functions” click “Edit DNS Zone”, then select yourserver.com and click “Edit”. Use the main IP address for the first 2 lines and the next IP address assigned to the server for the third line. A. Under “Add new entries below this line”, enter: server 14400 IN AN xx.xx.xx.xx (leave far right box blank) dns1 14400 IN AN xx.xx.xx.xx (leave far right box blank) dns2 14400 IN AN xx.xx.xx.xx (leave far right box blank) b. Note: The above entries are DNS entries for the two name servers being created, and the sever name dana.hostyourself.com. Once you’ve enter the three entries, click “Save” 6) If you get an “Error reloading BIND” error, go to “Restart Services” and click “DNSServer (BIND)”, then click YES to restart Bind.
That’s it! Now the server is all setup and ready to host cPanel hosting account with the name servers dns1.yourserver.com and dns2.yourserver.com. Of course you still need to go to your registrar and register these 2 new name servers and wait for normal propagation of 24-48 hours until the new name servers will work.
If this is a server being setup for a dedicated customer, be sure to tell them: 1) IP addresses of name servers so he can register them with his registrar 2) Root login information 3) Login info of main account you created for him 4) Tell him NOT to delete the main account, since doing so will also delete the DNS zones you setup above 5) New DNS zones should be added to the old server to help with DNS propagation.
If you follow these simple instructions once you get your server from the datacenter, then you will be ready to load websites and hit the internet. With cheap outsourced support companies available and world class datacenters providing under $99 servers there is no reason not to tackle the world of dedicated servers and webhosting for you.

Will You Be There
In my darkest hour
In my deepest despair
Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In trails and my tribulations
There are doubts and frustrations
In my violence, in my turbulence
Through my fear and my confessions
In my anguish in my pain
In my joy in my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
I’ll never let you part
You will always be in my heart
Copied from the song Will You Be There by Michael Jackson
In my deepest despair
Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In trails and my tribulations
There are doubts and frustrations
In my violence, in my turbulence
Through my fear and my confessions
In my anguish in my pain
In my joy in my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
I’ll never let you part
You will always be in my heart
Copied from the song Will You Be There by Michael Jackson

JCI Harare Be Better!
Being a member of JCI Harare, I have learnt a lot. The positive impact is bringing changes to me. The whole concept of this, get there and start a conversation. Naturally I don't like crowds and talking (as you might have noticed already) but chatting up with these young big ideas can bring light to your life. I now have a vision I never had, I have plans I never thought. I would think or was capable of thinking.
Now its all positive energy oozing in my system, adrenalin, hope, every positive expression or word you might imagine. I don't know if I'm a good active citizen as yet but as they say, BE BETTER!
Live life to the fullest whether business, school, music, or clubbing makes you feel fulfilled, do it and invit others to maintain being better and responsible!
xoxo

Disagree? (Lighter Side)
Long, unproductive meetings are often the bane of corporate life. My very funny boss at the software company where I work has come up with what just might be the perfect way to cut business conferences short before they start rambling out of control. There comes a time when he announces, "All those opposed to my plan say, 'I resign."
End of meeting.
End of meeting.
