This is a disaster. Seriously warn you against buying this.

I paid for a year for Briefcase as they give you a discount. They do a free trial but if you decide to keep and pay, it is more expensive then if you pay up front. Probably because they know most people won't pay after the free trial.

Basically, the software doesnt work on my PC. I can't upload using Filezilla either. I tried to install on my Mac and this didn't work either. Furthermore, the installer fails if I try to uninstall. The only way I can upload is one by one on the website but obviously this is not practical for a lot of files.

No-one responds to emails and no-one answers the phone. I have no way to contact this company and the software doesn't work. The website says they respond within 24 hours - this is a blatant lie - they don't respond at all. It has been over a week now since I first contacted customer support and all I have had is an automated response.

High risk of losing your money on this. I strongly advise to stay clear.

The reasons why Blackberry went down...

Dear Blackberry...

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?

What's with the outages, is it cos your selling us all out and sharing your encryption secret with local law enforcement?

You haven't quite stepped out and said anything directly to your customers, an email would be nice (not just some random public statement that we have to Google to find) ... this annoyance comes out of love tho...

I have been faithful to you, why you treat me so bad...

OK, I'll give you credit, when my bold broke, you gave me another for free,

but OS6 does NOT work right on the Bold 9700! why did you rush it?
If your gonna rush things change your development team or increase it, or just create a new OS infrastructure!!!

By the way, I love the playbook... can I have one?


Its great that we can actually play flash videos on it!!! unlike the iPad... which is just a glorified iPod touch really, with a 14" TV attached! [that can't play flash videos... Fail]

Start listening to us Blackberry, start speaking our language, remember us... your loving and adoring fans who continually defend you against the Android and the iWaste... sorry I mean iPhone.

Stop pushing so hard on the corporate stuff, you already dominate that market, start pushing on the 'young and trendy' market.

Blackberry's are the coolest gadget that have just become a university standard. You just don't exist if you don't have a blackberry!


your marketing dept needs the sack (and i don't mean they need sleep)

here's an awesome company to market you correctly www.livity.co.uk - they have done amazing things with MTV, Ch4 (UK) and Red Bull just to name a couple of big fish they've swam with. Their campaigns are just off the chain and because of the other community projects they do in their building they have tons of access to your target demographic and the real creativity to pull of incredible stuff... call them now, ask for Sam... tell him Allan/ Knowledge gave you his number! +44 (0)20 7326 5979

OK, rant over now... back to what you were doing :)
(don't forget to call Sam though...)

Look At Me Now

#lookatmenow

After a entrepreneurs seminar with David Shosanya on Sunday 9th October in which he said, "whatever your skillset is, get external validation"

I actually had to really press in and have just (by the skin of my teeth) made it onto a once full degree in Digital Video and Broadcast Production @ De'Montford University (DMU)... Just!

So after 10 years of running away from education I know voluntarily sign up lol!

Talk about divine favour, two people had to drop out of the course cos they couldn't get financing!

Anywho, I'm excited, one of the key things in becoming the best you can be is continual learning in as many forms as possible; be it reading and watching tutorials and journals or actually attending an education institution - Keep learning or what you know will become redundant!

This is vital with tech based industries, but its still important in any other field or industry.

Stay up to date, stay knowledgeable - there is no middle ground; you are either learning or becoming stupider (excuse the poor English).

Now, on a sillier note... "whens my student loan arriving, I wanna buy a Audi A6..."


(thats a joke by the way)

*starts to do the dougie*

Look at me now... I'm a student - whoo hoo student discount for gym membership... and clothes... and other stuff I wont buy... yaaaaaaaaay!

boy meets girl, girl tells boy "you're gonna marry me" boy flips out (video)

this is just tooo funny

super funny kids!

be set free...

So many people are trapped in their minds and don't know it,

So many people are trapped in front of the TV and don't know it...

Someone said to me the other day "I just don't seem to have any time to read like I used to anymore..." this was the same person who sat in front of the telly for hours every evening...

Set yourself free by doing what you HAVE to when it needs doing instead of when you want to... that way you can do what you want when you want - Selah!

He [ God ] is on the edge of His throne cheering you on

God is literally extatic when you make strides forwards against fear and doubters,

He's fully on a big hype when you charge forwards, even while trembling!

Cos you are going against fear, you are going against every thing that was designed to stop you reaching your destiny!

We have an enemy, an adversary, some call him satan or the devil, he is just the evil one and he tries to masquerade like he's more powerful than us to decieves us into thinking he can stop up...

Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real and the devil is quoted to 'walk around AS a roaring lion... not that he ACTUALLY is, he's pretending so he can scare the living daylights out of the unknowing!

Most people dont even know that satan is afraid of God and His angels... who do you think EVICTED him from heaven?

The bible says he (satan) was dashed out in a flash of lightening... yeah that quick... and in the book of Job, satan 'snuck' back into heaven somehow and then had to address God as 'Lord'... - satan you're a wasteman!

Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah... a REAL Lion and satan is afraid of Him too!

Jesus has handed us the keys to power, and might AND fearlessness...

Wisdom states "courage isnt the absence of fear, its the taking action and walking out a thing REGARDLESS of the fear!"

...And God is right there cheering you on all the way!

Jeremiah 29:11

'I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope.'

Philippians 4:13

'For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength'

1 John 5:4

'Because everyone who is born from God conquers the universe; and this is the victory that conquers the universe - our faith'

Just know that God is rooting for you all the way, but we've gotta take the action here on Earth to fulfil our destiny, listening to fear is failure, fighting fear nurtures the conqueror in you!

Romans 8:37

'No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us' [NLT]

'Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us' [KJV]

'But we are able to overcome all these things and more through his love' [Bible in Basic English]

Hebrews 12:1

'Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us' [NLT]

Even our forefathers are cheering us on in heaven!!!

I like this guy... Herman Cain for president 2012

Black Girls Rock

#blackgirlsrock

I mean how could this even be disputed?

Black girls are absolutely amazing!!!

and its not only black guys that appreciate them, I keep hearing that Turkish guys 'really like' black girls, dont even ask me why I coulnt even begin to understand how it happens as they 'really' dont like black guys (apparently), anyhow thats me drifting off topic...

this video is sad and hilarious at the same time; gotta love Tyra Banks with the questions on this one...

How Bad DO YOU Want To Succeed

this video speaks volumes...

my biggest concern is my biggest motivator...

The thing that concerns me the most is ME being the reason I fail...

in anything, anywhere and anytime.

I have identified that I am very reflective in all I do and like to evaluate situations after they've happened and have stepped into the realm where I predetermine to win and to do the best I possibly can in the best possible way.

Its bred a level of excellence in me that has taken me far and its a quality I try to replicate in the folks around me.

I have now begun a journey in my life to really find my limit of hard work and motivation, listening to self help audiobooks by renowned goals setting and motivation gurus like Brian Tracey, Dr Peter J Daniels, Norman Vincent Peale and a host of other names.

I am very close to finishing a book called 'Outliers' by Malcolm Gladwell, one of the statements made in there rings in my head all the time; "He who rises before dawn almost everyday, his family will never go hungry"

WOW! is all I had to say when I read that,

I have made the decision to do the hardest things... and fast... and take them head on!

I am my only and biggest competition, I compete against my last level of victory and excellence!

I refuse to settle for the last level of achievement when I know I can do a little bit more,

I can work a little bit smarter,

I can go a little bit harder,

I can learn a little bit more that makes me that little bit more excellent!

As I said, its a journey and to be honest nobody on this planet can do tomorrows learning today, its all gotta be done one day at a time.

We are a product of what goes through our minds and we can change the types of thoughts that go through our minds, so in essence - we are limitless!

I cannot fail... if I do that means I wasnt thinking right and didnt do what was necessary to ensure success!

hard words, I know - but true non the less!

Focus...

I've learnt some really major things in terms of life and people of recent...

the very people you love and try to help and the very people who may well upset, offend and write you off!

Its a crazy one I know but the heart of the matter is not that it happens but how you deal with it!

One one hand you can actually get offended (and let the enemy win... and you and the people you are trying to help lose) or you can choose to actually continue in a walk of love and humility (and yes humility is a big one here... its pride that brings out the jack-ass in us sometimes, excuse the french,).

We ARE our brothers keepers and if we focus on being the best we can be to and for the people around us God is too faithful to let our lives be of waste.

Think of the lessons the offending person will learn in seeing you do that?

A scripture says "love those who hate you" - "by doing good to those who do you bad, you heap hot coals on their heads (conscience)"

When God asks you about how you treated His children, He already knows what they did what is in question is how you responded!

be a blessing!
