dollar [3, 750.000.00] which my head office are not aware of and will
never be aware of. I have since place this fund on what we call
SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without any beneficiary.

money,so this informed my contacting you for us to work so that you
can assist receive this money into your bank account for us to SHARE.
While you will have 40% of the total fund .

transfer,all I need from you is to stand claim as the original
depositor of this fund who made the deposit with our branch so that my

Dear John,
Thanks for your quick response, I also appreciate your
interest and willingness to help actualize this transaction. I want you to know
that this would be a bank-to-bank transfer, I also want you to know that the
management of my bank must not know that I'm involved in this transaction.i
contacted you so that we can work together with oneness and with your full
co-operation the fund will be released in your name. I'm a God fearing person
and I'm a Christian, be assured that this transaction will not put the both of
us into any trouble.
To clarify you more on the source of the fund. The
said fund is the Excess profit that was made for the year 2007 at the closing
balance of my bank last year. I have kept this fund in an escrow coded account
until this date. Since there was no any trace since about the owner of this
fund, I have now made up my mind to transfer the fund out of Ghana for our
benefit. Having packaged this transaction in a professional way to benefit both
of us, I will guide you on how to make this claim.
For this reason, I need for your assistance to stand as the owner and the fund
will be transferred into your provided account. All I require from you is honesty
and good co-operation as the fund would be transferred telegraphically
from our Corporate Head office in Accra Ghana. I will further require your
below information to make you the owner the fund.
1)Occupation
2)Full Name
3)Age
4)Telephone Number
5)And Your Country Of Origin.
Your above information will be entered into the customer database from my
branch as a foreign investor and owner of the deposited fund in my branch.
I will guide you on how to apply for the release of this fund from my bank's
corporate Head office and transferred to your receiving bank account.
As soon as I received your above information and after I have entered it on
our networked banking systems, I will issue a back-dated deposit slip prepared
on your name, as my head office might request such paper from you as proof.
After the successful transfer of the fund, I will start travel arrangement to meet
you in your country, or any country where you want us to meet for sharing according
to already mapped out percentage. I will expect to receive the above information as
soon as possible. Send me your telephone number to allow easy communication
between us. This is my private telephone number: *redacted*
.
With Regards,
Dr. Harry Moore

Dear John,
I thank you so much for your effort and your willingness to see that
we achieve our aim in this transaction. I have assured you that there
is no single risk involved in this transaction and it can never take us
more than two or three working days and every thing will be over.
So now that you have furnished me with the information i will be
going ahead to program your father's name as the owner of the deposited fund
and after the programming i will issue you an application form and a
back dated deposit slip which you will use to contact my head office
for an immediate transfer of the fund to your account.
But before i will do that i really want to be sure so that i will not
make any mistake because this fund is my last hope and i used all that
i have to see that i effect this transaction to get to his stage we
are now and because of that i want to be very sure of who am doing
some thing with so that i will not regret ever knowing you.
My dear i want to know if you can come to Ghana so that we can see
our self and build more trust on each other and from there i will
direct you on how the fund can be withdrawn from my head office. But
if you can not come there is no problem but is just that i have to
place the account dormant so that when you contact my head office the
will not ask you much questions regarding to the source of fund and the
fund will not be traced in any way.
The only thing that am sure of is that my head office will now ask you
to reactivate the account because is dormant and which i know it will
not be more than ($1,200) one thousand two hundred or less and the
moment the account is reactivated i will start coming down to your
country with my children and with all the necessary documents that
will back up the fund in case the government of your country ask us
any question regarding to this source of the fund.
I wait for your approval to enable go ahead to program your name in
our computer data system as the owner of the fund. Remember that my
head office is not aware that am involve in this transaction and that
is why i need your assistance to see that every thing goes on fine.
Waiting to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Dr Harry Moore
My Reply:
Hi Harry there are some things I dont understand this is going to be put in my fathers name you said? And oaky if you can mail me the application
form as soon as possible then we can get this started! Will this really make me money??!?
You are so awesome to offer this to me if you ever want your wii modded with homebrew of a free copy of homebreware i would be happy to help you out.

| | [Tutorial] Stop the Madness!
|
There have been a surge in the number of tutorials released in the past few weeks. I myself have posted one, in an attempt to noobify the downgrade / backup loader process. Yet they keep coming and coming and are about easier and easier topics. I will try not to single out any threads as I wouldnt necessarily want this done to me, and ultimately I think these tutorials are being posted by well intentioned people who are just trying to help. Ask yourself before you post, has this been answered before? If so, am I adding anything new? If not, perhaps choose another topic! My intent is not to ridicule the posters of these inane guides, but to plead to them and all future guide writers to stop the madness!
There is a natural progression, or evolutionary process to learning most of the things here. One does not sit sown in front of the computer for the first time, press the power button, then jump straight into a seemingly complicated process like downgrading a wii and installing homebrew onto it. As the guides get easier and easier and cover more and more topics, we are putting powerful tools into the hands of people who do not have the capacity or at least the understanding to wield these tools responsibly. I don't care if an 8 year old CAN hack a wii, I dont really think they should (unless it was purchased with their own money, then have at er)
As I said, I myself am responsible for the noobifying of one of the popular guides on this forum, and in my defense I at least did so with the intent of A) helping people who were going to be doing it anyways, and to do it as safe as possible and B) I tried to inject a small amount of teaching into the guide as well so that it was not only as easy as possible but tried to explain WHAT some of the steps did.
I, to be quite honest, have only a very basic understanding of coding and what makes these hacks work. I was not spoon-fed the information that I try to now teach to others. I will not preach about learning for learning sake.. you shouldn't have to learn the in's and out's if they bore you, but you should feel the obligation to teach yourself to understand what you are doing. Understand the steps you are taking before you take them and not just blindly accept the words of some guy on the internet. Understand WHY you are doing what you are doing.
I see some pretty ridiculous things posted and I want to make sure people know the reason it upsets some of us that are more knowledgeable. If, just as an example, someone does not know how to decompress files, burn CD's or DVD's, use google, explain the problems they are having as clearly as possible (details details details!) then they probably should not be playing with files that could potentially damage their expensive console. The details one irritates me more than anything, because people are asking me and others to solve their problems, with as little to go on as 'X game isnt working! help!'
I want to be clear that most of us do not think that these questions themselves are necessarily stupid, as we have all been there, we have all been using something for the first time and felt stupid as hell compared to some of our peers. The problem is when someone creates an account here, posts 3 of 4 posts, all of which are questions that have been answered before, or would take a few minutes on google, and then is never to be seen from again.. Helping people like these is NOT helping our community, it is nothing more than wasting our time, and cluttering up an already busy forum.
I have no problems at all spending a half hour, an hour, or two hours, helping someone help themselves.
I don't have 5 minutes to spare for someone who wants me to do it for them.
Thanks for listening to my rant.

| | [TUT] How to create a tutorial.
| Okay, due to the dozens of tutorials I have seen lately, I have decided that there is one Key ingredient missing a tutorial on how to create a tutorial! After all, the most important thing about a tutorial is that it gets the message across. If noone can understand your tutorial, then it is useful to noone!
First off, have a distinctive subject in mind, and know your subject well. There is nothing worse than someone who doesnt know what they are talking about trying to teach others. Provide guidelines that are organized, easy to understand, and useful, both for noobs and for experts.
Secondly, once you have identified your topic, organize it into a series of logical steps. *Explain* your steps. It is more useful to everyone if people understand why they are doing what they are doing, and arent just blindly following instructions.
Lastly, dont be afraid to update your tutorial as new information comes along. Be flexible. Remember WHO you are creating your tutorials for, and if they give you feedback, dont be afraid to adjust your guide accordingly.
Thats it folks, have fun and play safe! |

| | Need Gamma help?
| Anyone who is having trouble setting up the Gamma loader or understanding the instructions just give me a PM and I will try to assist people on a 1 on 1 basis.
I am by no means an expert but I have spent hours sorting through these threads already and I think I have a decent understanding of what needs to be done. This is by no means a promise that I will get it to work, nor will I take any responsibility for anything happening to your Wii. As always you do this at your own risk.
I have just gotten it installed a couple times already and rather than posting new threads or pestering the Gamma creators I would be happy to help.
*EDIT*
I have compiled a couple different tutorials into one package and written a guide. If anyone who notices it misses any credits or anything please let me know.
None of the files were written by myself, only collected from a number of different sources and offered in one package.
This can help people who need to:
+Downgrade or Upgrade their Firmware Version (including 3.4)
+Install the Gamma Channel
+Install Homebrew Channel on any Firmware version (Including 3.4)
Anyone who uses my guide and has any questions feel free to post your questions to me below. Anyone else is welcome to pitch in but this thread is mainly for people who want me to help them one on one. |

| | For love or money
Work related dilemna
| The age old question. Do I go for love or go for money?
I have been working for a company for just over 3 years now. I love my job. I am in a sales field and at only 3 years I am one of the senior staff in a chain of stores that has maybe 12-15 locations or so in western Canada.. So, not exactly a mom and pop company but not a huge company either. I love my job because it is easy, it is stress free, and since about March of this year I have been paid to either sit at home while waiting for renovations to complete, or sitting IN my store (which still wasnt ready to open) and play DS, watch movies, and of course spend all day reading the consumerist and gbatemp posts.
With such an easy workload and such little responsibilities, this is a lazy guys dream. However as I am in sales, and I work in a slow location to begin with and now with no customers at all (due to constant renovations) my pay has really really suffered. Almost half my wage is commissions so even though I am making enough to live on, its just barely enough, and I dont have enough to save much extra to get the house I want with my girlfriend.
On the flip side, change is hard. I could apply at a similar job but I would be working a lot harder, having a lot more stress and a lot less fun in my days, and lose whatever seniority I have in my company. I know it doesnt mean a whole lot at the moment but I can be such a chickenshit sometimes and I worry I will be giving up a job I love for a job I potentially could hate, and might not be able to apply here again if things dont work out.
What to do what to do?
Usually I am one of those people who say dont be a pussy, no risk no reward etc etc. But damn Im just not sure I can move on, or that I even want to.
What would you all do? |
