OKcupid tests...

What Computer am I? Unix Bigot You scored 195 skilled, 45 artistic, 70 gamer, and 60 conformity! If you don't run Unix now, you should think about it. Might I reccommend a flavor of BSD? You don't use your computer for playing games that much, so why not switch? Sure, it takes learning, but you probably have the skills to manage it. And you can always dual boot if that doesn't work out for you. Got this from Overclocked Fraggers Blog Unix user???I do use Linux...at times...but with no good audio and scarcity of codecs and lack of games for a casual but compulsive gamer who has a wide range of taste shirks me away... Man or Boy? Typical Male You scored 76 MAN points! You are the Typical Male. I don't mean that directly as an insult, but you can take it as one if you wish. I joke, I joke!!! You can probably cook a few average meals, your underwear is for the most part white, and you have on occasion made a woman feel like she was something special. Chances are you are g...

Weirdie Me!

Arti and Illusion has tagged moi! Tag Rules: -You must post a blog with six weird facts or habits about yourself. - At the bottom name the six people you will tag next. - Leave them a comment to let them know they've been tagged and to read your blog SIX WEIRD FACTS about me: Well let this be my Birthday Post! Its not very easy to think up this...What I consider as normal may be weird for another person! 1. At times I am obsessed with a partcular song...I would crank up the volume and hear ir (see if there is video available) A week back it was Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd ...I watched the video a hundred times atleast... Right now its How soon is now by The Smiths 2. Hmmm...getting hotter now! I am very absent minded...forgets about the most important things and lands in big trouble afterwards. But I do have this uncanny knack to get out of any situation unscathed...so I guess it balances out! 3. I go on long long walks...Thinking about the most nonsensical things...day dre...

Toothbrush and Teacups...

Yet another day in the class. Interesting stuff is what we are doing. Yesterdays assignment was to write the product specs of a toothbrush. Just the headings. Now don’t go ROTFL. It is a tough job. Do you know how intricate a toothbrush is? We have to write it for a person who has been in coma since birth and has just woke up. Interestingly though, the dude knows English and can understand things! Just that he has forgotten about toothbrush and the details regarding it. So we have to write something for a toothbrush, which is akin to a user manual! The dude thanks us: “I have more friends now!” Yeah sure…people can come within a mile radius of yours now! Why do we write such mundane things? A toothbrush! Why not some cool mobile phone or a new motherboard? This particular toothbrush it self has around 15 headings…when expanded it would certainly reach around 3 pages. So imagine a motherboard…dozens of ICs, many a function…it will be a large document… Wrote the specs of the toothbrush i...

The path of the damned?

Technical communication is the process of conveying information about a specific technology to an intended audience. Products that provide technical communication include user manuals, technical manuals, product specifications, process and procedure manuals, training, business papers, and reports. These are delivered to the audience using various media, including paper, video, and Web pages. From Wikipedia . Hiatus has come to an end I guess. My first day in the Knowgenesis certification programme. It was a hard decision to take. Spending 30,000 on a course at such a short notice. But if all things go well it may be the best decision I have taken in life so far. I always wanted to be a writer. This notion came to my head since…may be when I started reading more mature literature. (No pun intended!) But being a writer means that you have to have a passion to write and some creative influx of ideas. Even then it would be hard to make a living unless you are very lucky and extremely talen...

Back to business... Last.fm is a social networking site with a difference...by using plugin you can get the songs you listen listed on the site. Not just listed but formated in a terrific way...just see to get my point...and you have features like journal and can read based on the selection (Artist, song etc...) Confused???
