Change your Thinking

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. T hey spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

God vs Project Manager

April 30, 2006 – 1:15 pm

One day a man was having a conversation with God when his whole life flashed before his eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time. He saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult periods of his life there were only one set of footprints. He asked god “You said you will be with me throughout this journey, but why have you deserted me during the most critical times of my life??” to which god answered “Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you…you see only one set of footprints because during those difficult times in your life, I was carrying you”

Another day a S/w Programmer was having a similar conversation with his PM when his whole project flashed before his eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time. He saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult times in the project there were only one set of footprints. He asked his PM “You said you will be with me throughout the project, but why have you deserted me during the most critical times of the project??” to which the PM answered “Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you…you see only one set of footprints because during those difficult times, I was sitting on your head!!”

What is Sudoku

January 4, 2006 – 3:15 pm

Sudoku (Japanese: 数独, sūdoku), sometimes spelled Su Doku, is a logic-based placement puzzle, also known as Number Place in the United States. The aim of the canonical puzzle is to enter a numerical digit from 1 through 9 in each cell of a 9×9 grid made up of 3×3 subgrids (called “regions”), starting with various digits given in some cells (the “givens”). Each row, column, and region must contain only one instance of each numeral. Completing the puzzle requires patience and logical ability. Although first published in a U. S. puzzle magazine in 1979, Sudoku initially caught on in Japan in 1986 and attained international popularity in 2005.

Rules and terminology

The puzzle is most frequently a 9×9 grid, made up of 3×3 subgrids called “regions” (other terms include “boxes”, “blocks”, and the like when referring to the standard variation). Some cells already contain numbers, known as “givens” (or sometimes as “clues”). The goal is to fill in the empty cells, one number in each, so that each column, row, and region contains the numbers 1–9 exactly once. Each number in the solution therefore occurs only once in each of three “directions”, hence the “single numbers” implied by the puzzle’s name.

Similarities between :

Girls and Windows

oBoth have a great UI.

oBoth consume large resources and do less work.

oBoth crash unexpectedly.

oBoth are not easily portable on different architectures (environment).

oBoth can’t work on low resource architectures (environment).

oBoth are costly to maintain.

oBoth give mostly unexpected outputs.

oBoth’s working often contradicts with their documentation.

oBoth are easily prone to viruses (rumors and doubts) (and they (viruses) do spread very fast in windows based networks).

oIn spite of all above disadvantages, both are liked.

Boys and Linux

oBoth have an average UI.

oBoth are robust.

oBoth are highly secure.

oBoth can be easily modified to support new concepts/features.

oBoth are efficient.

oBoth are easily portable to any architecture (environment) no matter how low are resources.

oYou can easily guess the output for your input (in Linux just open its code, for boys they are mostly transparent by nature ).

oBoth provide large support for development (work environment).

oBoth are poorly documented.

Thoughts to keep u thinking!

We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space that makes it livable.
