Its seven days now since I began my rehab on facebook addiction, and I promised to be back today which I have already updated my status saying am back for facebooking. As I said before I began my break, I would read two books and finish my application for masters at KAUST , I did the two and waiting for some documents to get ready in order to complete my application before Jan 1st, 2010. As a Student of IT and IT professional in the making, I have some websites I would suggest to aspiring IT professionals, they are being updates as they get their news, they have very good articles about whats happening with Twitter of Facebook, You will be amazed with what they have. These sites are the first thing I check before checking my emails after I wake up, the first one is ENGADGET , followed by GIZMODO , then LIFEHACKER , also TECHCRUNCH and finally MARSHABLE For those aspiring to go into IT management and Security, I will suggest you look at CIO.COM , an online community where Chief Inform

Its two days into my facebook addiction rehab, its not easy leaving something you do for more than 12 hours daily, but its 48 hours now since I left it. Its never easy but I was just holding myself back, trying to instill the discipline into myself, but its never easy to stay away from all the happening on facebook, reading status updates, viewing the latest pictures, profile updates and lots more!!! On the first day, I became lonely like a baby whose mom left him at home, I was tempted for more than a dozen times, but something in me kept holding me back, its like a gravitational pull that is pulling me away from it, I grabbed my book and began to read. After reading a chapter, I went back to the PC, but I could only check my email and I left after 5 minutes. Its really not easy doing away with this addiction thing. I went to bed early because I have nothing to do afterwards, I couldn't even watch ManUTD being beaten by Aston Villa talk-less of La Liga matches or Read Blogs entrie

In the last few days, interest shifted from facebooking to SELF_LEARNING, I began to learn technical things and Ethical hacking and Penetration testing via Tutorials I downloaded, I am now having more time learning what the HOW of what I learnt in my previous two courses (Network Security and Cryptography & Secure Applications)at school. I became very familiar with opensource tools developed by hackers to practically see how it is done, tools like NMAP , CAIN and ABEL and lots more, some of them are Browser based while some are standalone applications, but my favorite is CAIN and ABEL, because it allows you to do alot of stuffs. My favorite show these days is HAK5 , Its developed by a band of IT ninjas, security professionals and hardcore gamers, Hak5 isn’t your typical tech show. We take on hacking in the old-school sense, covering everything from network security, open source and forensics, to DIY modding and the homebrew scene. Then we wrap it all up with a healthy dose of cock

It really tiring and frustrating to always be on facebook, I want to have time for the two Novels I have for this Holiday, am half-way reading "The Prince" while I have to get "The audacity to Win" as well, Two novels in a week and no facebooking at all!pls bear with me! I'm becoming addicted to facebook, with 1300+ friends , I think its time to have a new plan on facebooking, timing is essential now, but I will miss alot in this one week, I feel like its not possible to stay away from it for a week, But I will do it Insha Allah. Salihu Tanko said 7 days will be like 7 seconds, but I will make it look like 70 days. I would like to complete my masters application at KAUST before the deadline, I have to get a reference letter from the school and then send it to them to complete my application. I have to write a statement of purpose as well, so this week will be fully educational and entertaining as there are some exciting football matches to watch over the weeke

The issue of what you post on your social networking page is very important in today's world, I was chatting with a friend in Nigeria and he told me that he just saw my picture on Vanguard Newspaper , I asked him whether he is sure its my picture he saw, fortunately, it is the same picture on my MSN messenger, I asked him to help me send the picture, He snapped it with his phone and emailed it to me. After downloading the picture, I saw my picture and with a name "Ahmed Dasuki" attached to it, I then asked, when did Sadiq Safana become Ahmed Dasuki? I got to know that they copied the picture from my facebook page and used it to get money for themselves. I would like to offer an advice, please know the type of picture you post online, because you dont know the next person that will see it, employers now go to these social networking sites to check on applicants profile to see the kind of things going on on their profiles, which means what you post on facebook might determ

Ever since Mr President left Nigeria for Saudi Arabia due to the state of his Health, alot of Nigerians began to pray for him to recover from his ailment through many forms, the senate president called for a 9-day prayer while a group was started on facebook calling on people to Pray for him. The membership of the group is one of the fastest I have ever seen on a Social networking site, the group now have more then 2000 members in less than two days according to an email sent by the group creator Aminu Muhammad Ofs, It is really important we include Mallam Ummaru in our prayers. I would like to call on all Nigerians to pray for Mallam Ummaru to recover on time and also to be well so that he discharge his duties as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Until then, You are always in my Prayers Mr. President, include him in yours too.
