Peanuts

I am upto my throat in peanuts. No, actually they are coming out. That is what happens when you have home grown edibles. I have enough for the whole winter. Not the best quality but the best quantity for sure.
   In other news my backache has returned. This time with some considerable bang. Its really frightening since I will have to sit and work on my chair for quite some time to come. I think this time around I will kill it in its infancy with adequate analgesics in my system.
   I just can't do more than three chapters a day from my Pathology book. Yea I know pathetic speed but can't help it. Not that I am a very big internet addict just that I tire easily and need distractions to keep my brain engaged. Maximum concentration span has thankfully increased from a few seconds to a little over a minute. No, I am not kidding. I passed medical school with these attention spans. There are no under or overstatements. If you don't believe me ask any of my friends. Murtaza will be a good person to refer to.
   Hussain found out that his Behavioral Sciences DVD's were not working properly. I had to tell him that there was problem with the sound in first few lectures only and that it would go away. Nonetheless that is what you should expect of pirated stuff.
   I wish I could study more. And no, this phrase has not been stolen from DrPak but is coming from the dark corners of my mind. Really it is a wish that I never thought I ever had! Strange times!
   I just realized yesterday that I was wasting about one and a half GB of my disk spaces on stored, uncompressed, images. I compressed all of them so that I have ample space on my disk to play with. This reminds me that I need to buy a hard drive some time soon to complement my present storage capacity which by no means is something to boast about. I do miss a flash drive too and a DVD writer and a good graphics card and a sound card. But then I miss many more things.
   I must go now and read some good fiction or poetry or I will die!

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

iPad 2

The new iPad is worth it's money. Sleek slender design is a plus and so is the light weight. I am not really impressed by the camera as the pictures with both front and back cameras are pixelated and very amateurish looking. It's handy in the sense that I can carry it around while making rounds and access patient information on the go. This makes life easier and for someone like myself this means much less paper waste. I think one added advantage is that I will waste less time on writing down all the information on a piece of paper every morning and will be able to pull it up anytime I want to do so or need to do so. This gives me more time to think and reflect on the patient and spend more time with the patient rather than time in front of a bulky computer. There are new apps I am discovering every day. However there is still dearth of good medical apps that have been modeled for iPad. This makes the productivity of the iPad a little less but still the benefits of having a w...

Elections '08

Parliamentary Elections are just 12 hours away in Pakistan. Unlike all previous elections i have reached the voting age for these elections. Now i can use my right to vote to select a candidate that i think represents future and progress. I can be part of the democratic process. I can be a miniature vector of change or towards change. But i will not use my right to vote. that means i will not participate in the process of electing representatives who will rule my country and my fate for the next five years, even more if they get their way like this present dictator, Musharraf. In doing so i will loose my right to object to any actions of the 'elected', more so selected representatives of this country. but this can be debated and in most probability i will not pass from any opportunity to pointing out wrong doings and mischief in the character of those who lead my unfortunate country in the future. I will not vote because i know the outcomes of the elections have been pr...
