Last week Intellimon ltd the owner of xsitepro (web development software) release beta version of their latest software xheader. I was fortunate to get a copy. It’s a very wonderful, simple and easy to use application.

Xheader is a “no-nonsense tool for creating quality, customized header graphics.” If you want to have a professional website or blog site, with xheader’s collection of customizable templates and suite of heading tools within the xheader application you can achieve great result in minimum time.

Now I can save extra $40 to $80 dollars that I pay to create professional graphics header for my collections of website. I can now expand my virtual real estate faster. You can do the same too. As a matter of fact you can even start web graphics header creation service for people using this software.

When I made a post on my perception of starcomms Nigeria internet service, one of our subscriber suggested use of internet accelerator with internet service from any of nigerian networks. Actually, I am not a fan of most free softwares available online for security purpose. However, early this morning I decided to test starcomms latest invention iBoost.

iBoost according to starcomms is “internet accelerator designed to enhance your network connection by accelerating data transfer. It provides efficient data transfer even on low bandwidth networks, thus speeds up your internet activity. And it can be used with any of Starcomms data products, either Starcomms OneX or izap Superfast Broadband.”

“System Requirement and Supported Operating Systems:

* iBOOST Client Supported Operating System

* 32 MB RAM, 6 MB disk space

* Internet or network connection

* TCP/IP installed and configured

* For the iBOOST Client to communicate with the iBOOST Server.The iBOOST client is preconfigured with server name.

* Microsoft Windows

- 98 SE, 2000, XP SP1 or higher and Vista

- Minimum requirement: Pentium III or higher

* Apple Macintosh

- OS 10.3 and higher ( will be launched soon)

* Browsers

- IE 5.5 and higher

- Netscape 6.2 and higher

- Firefox - Opera

iBoost client runs automatically when you start your computer. However, you can turn it on or off as you wish.”
The size of iBoost app. is 7.6mb and it took me about 1hr to download using starcomms oneX service. I left home for office immediately after download the set up file so I haven’t use it with oneX service. However, using it with starcomms izap evdo I didn’t notice about 40% increase in the download speed which is not too bad. I will reserve my final comment till I test it on oneX which is same as dial up service.

You can download iBoost from starcomms website here:

http://www.starcomms.com/iboost.php

You will find installation guide on same page.

Yesterday one of their staff at toyin street office told me they offer download service in starcomms office. I don’t know how true it is. You may want to check them if you use oneX dial up service.

Download iBoost, use it and tell us your opinion here.

Note: Everything you post here I can assure you somebody from starcomms will read it. They’ve call me before concerning our comment on their service. We can help them improve their service by expressing our experience here.

Read First: This article is not about Internet Marketing. However, as internet marketer that will wants to take part in one or two industry event in uk, this article will give you great tip about uk visa. It is a guest article from www.ukvisasecrets.com.
Do you know that in 2006/7 the UK Border Agency handled 2.75 million applications? Of these applications 1,405,330 were application for Visiting Visa; 312565 Student Visas and 79030 work permits.

Here is the actual gist: 201375 Visitors, 98065 Student and 4335 work permit visa applications were REFUSED.
UK visa is the document affixed within your passport that allows you entry into the UK.

Thousands of Visa Applications are turned down weekly due to various reasons; chief of which includes: Lack of proper document presentation, Document Irregularities, Lack of Planning, Irregularities in Arguments & Evidence.

The collection of biometric data as part of the visa application process enables checks at the UK border to ensure that the person travelling is the same one to whom the visa was given. Biometrics are stored on a shared immigration database, making it easier to detect, detain, document and remove people who should not be in the UK.

Once your Biometrics Information matches, you could experience low-risk travelling to the UK. You experience faster, more efficient service from Visa Applications, and in the future as a trusted traveller you’d be allowed to pass through automated gates when arriving the UK.

Here’s a case-study on how Biometric Information can help make or break the success of your visa application; culled from the 2006/7annual reports of UKVisas:

“In Copenhagen, a Nigerian national permanently resident in Denmark applied for a visa for a visit to see his brother in the UK. He was a frequent visitor to the UK who had been issued with a visit visa on 12 previous occasions. The application appeared straightforward.

However, biometrics had been installed since his last application, and data revealed that he had claimed asylum in the UK in 1995 under a different identity. Further investigation revealed that he had been receiving benefits in the UK – including Income Support, Child Benefit, Child Maintenance, Child Tax Credit and Housing Benefit – in the name of the asylum claimant since October 2005. The visa application was refused, and the potentially fraudulent benefits claims are being investigated.”

To obtain a Genuine UKVisa with less than N20, 000; know the relevant documents required for your application, ensure these documents are well presented, answer questions on your application form with evidence and pay the visa fee to the Verification-Centres.

Why have I gone through this length to inform you of the above statistics? You could continue to make the same mistakes like the applicants above and join the long lists of applicants who are refused UKVisa weekly or make use of the same system that I use to get my clients their visa.

I was able to save a client over N450, 000 she would have paid to an agent who knew next to nothing about getting a UK Visa. We did it ourselves and ended up spending less than N20k for the Visa.

When we first post offer to take 10 Nigerians by the hand and show them in practical step-by-step how to start their own internet business or grow their existing business, many did not take us serious. But at last almost everybody wants to be part of the event.

The event was sold-out in 9 days. Our primary plan is to host only 10 people but we find it difficult to turn down 6 participants that paid into our account without informing us. However, we turn-down 19 people that came at the last minutes with their money.

We had the most wonderful event ever.

Why?

Because we had people from diverse age group, sex, business background, educational background, and cultural background. Participants came from sokoto, warri, Port Harcourt, Benin, Ibadan as well as Lagos.

When they came in on Monday, 95% of them had no clue on what it takes to set up their internet business but as at yesterday night (the end of 6^th day) they all had a well researched internet business up, ready to bring in loads of almighty dollars in weeks and months to come. Not only that, they learnt a lot of new stuffs, many of which they’ve never heard before.

You will have opportunity of reading from them. We are here in our office to celebrate their little success today Sunday 5^th of October. We will give them opportunity to share their experience here soon.
