Miss Bijlee

Miss bijlee has been eloping with her favourite star Mr. Wapda the whole day today. There was a scheduled shut down from 8 in the morning to 12 in the noon. But then there was this unexpected break down in the humid hours of the afternoon. No electricity for 3 hours in the afternoon really cooks up a lot of things in the sun. This lead to me spending very little time on my step 2 prep today. I hope i am able to make up for the loss tomorrow inshaAllah.
My modem is broke and i have asked for a new one from lahore. I hope that i get it by tomorrow (actually it should be today now). Without a mdem there is no life. One can't put the computer to any use unless there is connectivity.
I asked for GPRS activation on my mobile and i have been obliged by the vendor. Its an expensive proposition for the customers of mobilink. They charge almost seven rupees per MMS whereas Warid charges much less. Similarly the charges for surfing the net are also much higher than all other vendors of mobile phone connections. The company is pathetic and i have let known my anger at it multiple number of times.
There is news that mobile number portibility is coming to Pakistan as early as October this year. But the only major hurdle in the process is Mobilink. They don't want the system to come to Pakistan since they fear loss of major clientel. I hope that they are made to taste disaster in this country since they have been looting their customers for a long time now.

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...
