Sun running the Cells | The Pakistani Spectator

I read this well researched and thought out article on the often not so authentic TPS today and found it to be very informative.  the writer has been very elaborate.

Telecommunication industry is developing very fast in our country.  For a strong and stable telecommunication industry a constant and stable supply of electricity is essential.  In the backdrop of current supply shortages we must look into alternate sources of energy.  Given the extensive tower infrastructure of the telecommunication companies all over Pakistan it is easier and more feasible for them to use solar energy for generating electricity for meeting their local infrastructure needs.  This will help them in two ways.  It will reduce their dependability on more expensive and polluting sources for the same energy and will also reduce the operational costs of the units in the long run.

It is also important for the same industry to explore this avenue because they have money to spare and thus money to spend unlike most of the industries in Pakistan.  Once they start using this source of energy it will result in bringing down the costs of installing solar panels in general and will help other sectors to follow suit.  In every situation it is a win win situation.  I think I have mentioned in one of my earlier posts on this blog that to meet all the energy requirements of our country from solar energy we need a solar plant of the are of about 39 square miles.  Obviously it can not be done as a single installation but if stand alone smaller units are invested into the cost of such an operation will be much less and also infrastructure would be more stable and reliable.

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...
