My first freelance gig paid N40,000! TECH STAR CELESTE OMIN ON HOW HE STARTED CODING A MUST READ

I first saw a computer system in 1997. My elder sister would take me to her office to play with it every evening when she was about closing. I’d sit there endlessly looking at this beautiful piece of technology. After she stopped working there, I didn’t get to use another computer again until ‘03. JAMB had just introduced their on-line result collection system. I went to a CyberCafe to check my result — and I barely knew what the internet was and how to use it — and the cafe attendant gave me the biggest embarrassment of my life at the time! I swore to know and learn about this thing called “a computer”. I later found out that a family friend had a Windows XP PC, and I would from then on go to his house every evening, and sit and use his PC all through the night. I had no money, so would have to walk there daily. The distance was similar to walking from Jibowu to MM2.

Per  Engadget Since stepping down as Microsoft CEO, Bill Gates has been  hard at work  trying to tackle the world's biggest health problems. One promising project that's caught his eye is  the Omniprocessor , a huge machine that converts sewer sludge (yes, that means human waste) into clean drinking water, ash and electricity. Of course, Gates was keen to visit one of the facilities to see, and more importantly taste, the results for himself. Oh my God I don't know about you but I do not know if I will be drinking this, unless of course I do not know where the water came from!!  now watch the video!!

SIX THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW AS TECH STARTUP FOUNDER IN AFRICA!!!

Image
Here are the important don’ts. 1. Don’t build a startup without savings Except it’s blogging, bulk SMS or web/graphics design/hosting which ones bring fast cash with smaller effort, don’t build a tech startup if you can’t feed yourself for at least 3-6 months. Or at least your family/friends can feed you. Especially in the beginning. You are most likely going to pour all your savings into the startup.
