My New Dell

I have a new Dell Studio 1535. It was delivered just today and I like the way this computer looks and the way the keyboard feels. I think it will be sufficient to fulfill my needs for the next three years. Will write the full review after I have used the computer a little more. One thing though, Dell promised to send a $75 gift card with it and they didn't.
This computer is a complete copy of HP dv series notebooks. The exterior atleast is an effort to capture the HP market that was lost to style and sleek design. The screen is better than the HP notebook. The speakers aren't designed so well in the system and the sound is not as good in quality as I expected.
I like it that the power outlet is on the side and not on the back. This gives this notebook more mobility while it is attached to the power cord. The power cord is rather smaller than the Inspiron series.
The synaptic touch pad is made of different material than the usual stuff. It is coarser in feel. It is a little less sensitive to tapping but i presume that can be adjusted through Dell's synaptic support software.
The trendy wavy style on the surface and the shine give this notebook a very trendy look. I opted for the black exterior as I could not afford paying for the more trendy and colourful external designs that were available.
The most stylish feature of this notebook is that it has a slot load DVD writer as apposed to the tray based writers of the yore. This a new technology in the notebooks. But I dont know whay didnt anyone think of it earlier as it is very common technology seen in all kind of players and automobile audio players.

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...

Elections 08 V

In the election results of the year 33 former ministers who were closely associated with Musharraf have lost their seats. PML-Q has suffered losses to the seats of those who were stalwarts of the previous administration and were thought to be close to Musharraf himself. the results express more so a disgust and hatred with Musharraf and anything even closely related to him. Otherwise PML-Q has been able to win seats of those members who were not closely associated with Musharraf. So we can safely conclude that this is a an anti Musharraf vote and not a pro PPP or PML-N or ANP vote. In other news the Govt. is now thinking of letting go of the Chief Justice of Pakistan who has been kept under illegal house arrest since November 3, 2007. Aitizaz Ahsan was freed not until the last minutes before election and now Chief Justice's imminent freedom spell something very fishy. What was so important about him that he was not released before elections? What special situation has arise...

Pakistan Earthquake

It was terrifying to say the least. We have often heard the proverb being used again and again but this one was a real earth mover. It occurred at about 52 minutes past 8 in the morning while most of our urban population was still asleep in their homes. The jolts kept on coming for about a minute and 10 seconds and then there were lighter jolts in the evening. I was fulfilling my new found glory in the field of gardening when our tractor started shaking like mad. It was literally heaving its huge heavy body sideways like some shaky pendulum.    Then my father called in and told me that the quake had been hard on Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I talked to my relatives there to ensure that they were safe and away from harm's way. Afterwards I switched on the Television. Thus starts my cynicism for the whole event!    The anchor on the TV was so disturbed that he could not even tell the story right. At one point in time he is telling us all the reports fro...
