Sweet deal !
A recent survey by BBC has revealed that more than 70% of the people would reveal their passwords in exchange for a bar of chocolate !! How sweet !! Hackers and other Network security analysts will be jobless if they know about this. I am not sure how many souls in NASA/Micro$oft/ISRO have given access to outsiders. If i get a chocolate for every password i reveal, i can start a confectionary store !! ( Sweet braggart :-) ) .

Budding Poet !!
Whenever i read something about Shakespeare or when i come across Thirukural( written by a Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar), i wonder how they would have written their first poem. The other day, i was talking to my colleague about this. He told me about his "Poetry writing skills" during his college days. It seems he once wrote an "ode" to a girl, it goes something like this :

" Fish cannot live without water,
Leaf cannot live without sunlight,
You cannot live without air,
And i cannot live without you ! "

The girl was really impressed and immediately gave a green signal !!

Training day !
I am currently attending( rather, forced to attend :-( ) a training on Six Sigma . The training sessions end on Friday and i guess i will be dead by that time ! The class sucks and i can't even sleep peacefully in the classroom ( Only 10 fellas are attending this training). Even the instructors know that the topic is dry, but why can't they put some life into their talk ?

Check out this site, it gives u numerous examples of bad design methodologies. I found it pretty interesting.

Ghost in my Machine
Atlast, the truth is out, my machine is haunted !! I installed Google toolbar last week ( pretty good utility, i hope it is famous). When i restarted the machine ( i normally shutdown when i leave in the evening, Fear of the "dark" ), the toolbar is gone. I checked all the settings and i was forced to believe that i hadn't installed the toolbar. I installed it again and when i restarted the machine, voila ! Its gone !!
Sometime back, when i was using IE, some software got installed without my permission ! I had to struggle a lot to clean up the mess. My machine wont shutdown, i need to "pull the plug" to bring it to a halt !!
