Wireless experience

For the first time ever in my life I am connected to the internet through a wireless network. Wireless connectivity has always sounded like the elite thing in internet connectivity to me until the day I step foot in this dream land. Here it is the normal way of life and is taken for granted. There are many people sitting all around me in this library punching on their keypads and browsing the internet with not even a single wire coming out of their notebooks. And gladly I have joined them. I was trying to setup the network at my home but could not get through the technical gibrish that windows threw at me. Today I gathered all my incentive to talk to someone and the librarian was more than happy to oblige me. It took her five minutes to figure out the problem and ta da there it was the little hitherto elusive icon in the icon tray that has computer and waves coming out of it. This is my eye candy for the day or two to come (yes my levels have gone down considerably over the past two months or so).
The credit for letting me have this opportunity goes to none other than Santa Clara City library. It is so because I am sitting in the library right now trying to think and ponder over myself and my thought process.

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...
