How to understand who did what

Web 2.0 solutions like Twitter are really useful for observing trends and looking for social network peaks. With a passive approach to situations and a deliberate attempt not to watch the news, you can pick important elements of society happening around you by just passing through social networks on any day.

You can check Instagram and see what people are posting about. You get a sense that being…

How bad do you want it?

It’s a question of how bad I want it.

Will I continue typing on my blog day after day without getting it its own domain?

Shall I keep on watching YouTube video after another?

Are there days when I want to quit, only to realize I quit long time ago by listening to naysayers/

I have questions, but for now, I am inspired by my mentors and what they are able to do. I am inspired by the outcome of my…

The lady at 10.30

It’s from what I get watching U.S. marines in Afghanistan. Two o’clock is a direction and so is 11 o’clock. Based on this understanding, I think she is 10.30 on the hour mark. That is to say, I am not using the minute hand. She was initially at 11 o’clock then moved after that spot was free. I just notice her because of her shoes; they are meshed and I can see the part of her natural sole.…

I have found the secret of productivity but it wound open

I do not want to be a bother. That is what I thought. I was standing next to him as he peed. This is a bad place to start thinking about this, but I still thought. What if I would just ask what makes him this productive. I might never get an appointment. He claims to be a busy person. He is always locked in his office. He comes out after two hours or so and comes straight to this washroom where…

The future is here, your celebrity crush cashes on your oogling

Wow! These days you can make money by being yourself.

You have to know a little about your beauty, be it the clothes, ass, eye lashes and heels. It can be your own, or the one you own. I have just read a story of Wired.com about Kylie Jenner having her app as number one on the Apple Store.

Yes, people have downloaded her app in numbers, and she is getting rich. Woe unto you who gets a college…

No longer a morning person

A while ago, I blogged about watching YouTube videos very early in the morning, because I had compelled myself to wake up early.

I am no longer a morning person. I hate waking up in the morning and having to squint my eyes. I like the sleep that comes in the morning.

I have a job that may let me sleep in occasionally.

Over time, I have been trying to sleep early, by 10pm and wake up at 6am or…

Watching YouTube at 4am made me a morning person, here is how

I finally allowed myself to just be lazy, so that I could be a morning person and wake up early.

My goal was to stop feeling sleepy at 4am so that I could get my writing done.

However, waking up at 4am felt like a lot of work, and often, I would tell myself that I am just going to sleep a bit. After all, the work that I have pending for the day was not that urgent.

At the end of the day, I would…

Frustrations abound when you have too many expectations and too little resources. It can be a result of hurrying things up. After all, some people work best under pressure.  I have an experience with frustrations, and I can tell you something for sure, they suck my energy. I hate frustrations, especially when they are about a tool that I am using to accomplish a task. I am always talking about my…

You now have power to be a media creator, not just a consumer

You can be famous because you complained loudly to the government. With that fame, you can go on to be a YouTube celebrity and with that, it is possible to launch an eBook, sell it and become rich.

No more need for well known god fathers and the right background education in the right schools for you to be the biggest star in your niche. High speed internet, highly capable smartphones and you.…

The disapearance of the banner: Stop relying on your website structure and care about its content

A banner gets people’s attention. unfortunately, it only does so when people see it. with your content being syndicated outside your blog, this option is not available.

I am going to argue that with banners, you are relying on people to come to your website. Without website traffic, your banner campaign on your website is not working. However, people are interacting with the content of your…

I never thought of myself as a teacher let alone a dedicated instructor. However, today I find myself with students and followers. They depend on me for guidance on how to go about  various aspects of life. In many cases, it’s something to do with using computers or dealing with life. I have blogged here on christianokwena about several topics on using computers. Some have come out in a helpful…

Looks like you will have to revert to Google search after windows 10 upgrade

A thing about Windows 10 is that is gets your account and signs you into almost all services that you use on your computer. Good so far.

When you start searching something on the start menu, or on Cortana, you are directed to Bing. You also get results from Bing presented to your start menu.

Now, here is a screen shot showing the same search phrase on Bing and on Google, which will make you…

How to get inspiration for writing your post

Inspiration is something that comes to you at anytime you summon it. There are some things that I use to bring up inspiration. They work most of the time. This morning, I was just lazing around, not willing to get out of bed. I had just shut my eyes and opened them for the umpteenth time when I realized later that it was only five minutes to 9. I should be in church, I thought. Then I though, why…

Things I have thrown out

Do not call me a minimalist yet, because I own so many things, and keep buying so many stuff.

Anyway, here is a list of some things I remember at the top of my head that I have thrown out.

Shoes – some I have given to guys who do batter-trade (mali mali) but without asking them for anything in return

Phone – was not working so well, but was worth several thousands when I disposed it

HDMI cable –…

Flux, a story of a laptop, eyes, and writing

My friend,

“Monica, come home to me, yea come home to me my dear… Teresea, I’m tired of lookin’ bae, I’m into you, your rear”

That was part of the chorus on the song Dresser (Lil Boy) by 2 Chainz and Young Thug

Terrible, this is not something I want to have written on my deathbed, yet I am finding out that my laptop is actually a good thing for writing, and I love it. I end up writing whats on my…

Bluetooth portable keyboard use update

Earlier I had told you about a Bluetooth keyboard that I was using. You know, sometimes its just boring to have a laptop sit on my laps. A portable keyboard would have been a good solution to that problem.

Unfortunately, it was not. Everything did not go as I expected. Having to move from one to another was easy, apart from the setting up of the Bluetooth keyboard. I dreaded that part.…
