QD BD

I am not performing very well on my tests in Qbook lately. Rather I am too poor to mention. But considering the state of mind that I am in I think I will do better once I start feeling better. Those tests are freakingly difficult. Junaid freaked out of pathology and so did I. I have to really convince myself of their usefulness to attempt one and thats a pretty difficult ask.
I am using a countdown timer that I downloaded the other day. It runs on my computer screen just like it would in the original test and gives me a good simulation of the passing time. I am too fast in doing my questions. Just yesterday I finished a test with 26 minutes to spare in the clock. I need to check my speed and adjust it according to the number of questions. Anyways this countdown timer has an option to play a selected audio file at the end of the countdown. I had earlier chosen Led Zeppelin's Stridor. I have a 20 second audio file of the group shouting "stridor" and this serves the purpose of an alarm well. But just today I was listening to Pink Floyd's 'Another brick in the wall' and now I would change my audio file to this song. It would be nice to hear them shout 'we don't need no education' at the end of the hour when I am all too annoyed with the exam and all.
DrPak has not blogged for a long long time now. I think he is deep down in his studies. I hope he is doing well InshaAllah.
I completely rocked today. MashaAllah. Did about 200 pages of microbiology and that too in 6 initial hours of morning study. There was no electricity and by the afternoon it was pretty warm. I was sweating but stuck to my task and alhamdolillah for once achieved my target. Pray that I can keep this speed since I have some lost time to make up for.
I am taking medicine for my heartburn these days. It is getting worse by the day. Now an aching pain in the epigastrium just below xiphisternum keeps on disturbing me. My homeopathic doctor is hopeful that it will go away with his medicine regimen and I am giving him a chance. If things do not improve I will go back to my time tested remedy, Omeprazole 20 mg QD. But this time around I think I will have to press a little on the accelerator and increase the dose to 40 mg BD.

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...

Gluttony

There has been a recurring thought in my mind over the past many many months.  Every time I sit on the table to eat food with my  family  I thank God for giving me this opportunity to sit down and enjoy one of the basic needs of living beings.  Apart from the ability to sit down and eat with family I also do enjoy the absolute variety of tastes that are reaching my taste buds.  It is indeed a fact that our table is almost always stuffed with different  flavours by virtue of quite intricately cooked foods with lots of love.

XBOX ONE controller

I have been using the new xbox for many days now. The most important part of the console is obviously it's controller as this is the part we interact with most. In comparison to the xbox 360 controller the build quality of this controller seems slightly compromised. There is little counter weight in the wings of this controller and therefore it does not feel quite as sturdy in hand as the old one. However the shape has been elongated a bit and this actually probably compensates for the weight issue. All the buttons are within reach of my fingers which is good. One thing I have liked about the xbox controller is the snug fit in my hands. This is unlike sony's six axis controller. Those are obviously made for smaller hands. The sony controllers are much sturdier as I have learnt over the years I have had the play station. They took a lot of beating but came out winning. I don't think I expect same quality from the xbox controllers.  Also I have been getting a taste of Microso...
