Stop Talking and Start Doing – IBM Ads
Nov 20, 2008 Fun, Technology
I was looking at the IBM campaign called “Stop talking and Start doing” found it really interesting, planning to put that i practice, lets see if i can avoid talking more and start “coding”.
It talks about how enterprises can overcome problems with innovation implementation overcoming issues with existing processes.

What is carburetor? – Honda Dio
Yesterday i had some problem with my bike (Honda Dio). I have been consulting everyone in office about what that problem could be, i know an equivalent of nothing about bikes. Karthik started off making fun of me saying, that “you don’t need to do automobile engineering to ride a dio, you can give 20rs to a mechanic and get it fixed”.
But engineers yaar, you can’t change mindsets, I would like to know what the problem is , how someone fixes it , what is the alternate solution, whats the mechanics behind it, blah blah blah… you cant change the way we think. Then someone told me that it was a carburetor, which could be causing the problem, so i read up about carburetor and came to know that it is a component which controls air flow for combustion. Wikipedia is helpful. Cleaning it up will solve the issue, but why risk that if you don’t know what you are doing, and Wikipedia doesn’t cover the steps to do it. So i have given my bike to a mechanic now.
Moral of the story: Wikipedia is not enough to study Automobile engineering
Solved the Rubik’s Cube
Aug 23, 2008 Fun, General, Technology
After a half’s days effort today, i have been successful in solving the Rubik’s puzzle. It is really not that hard to solve the puzzle, although it looks like it is. just that you will need to have a step b step approach and use some simple algorithms to have the output. you will also need loads and loads of patience to get it done.
Steps
Step #1 : getting the first row right.
I have no clue of what algorithm to use here. i did it on my own so it should be simple.
Finnish off one side right and place it in the bottom so the completed side faces the bottom. Now we will do completion towards up.
Step #2 : getting the second row right.
Two algorithms here, left one and the right one
Left one: Ui Li U L U F Ui Fi
Right one: U R Ui Ri Ui Fi U F
Step #3: Now you should have completed the bottom 2 layers
Creating a cross on top, either from a center piece, or from a L or from a line
===> F R U Ri Ui Fi
L should face towards North West
Step #4: Aligning the cross Elements to relevant center pieces
When you complete the cross which has ‘four center pieces’, at least two of them will be aligned to the center pieces of the the four sides, if the aligned pieces are adjacent to each other place one aligned side on your opposite and one on right and do this algorithm, if they are opposite to each other try this algorithm to get adjacent pieces and then repeat the step as detailed.
===> R U Ri U R U U Ri
Step #5: Aligning the aligning edge elements to their positions
===> U R Ui Li U Ri Ui L
up , away from you (r) , up inverted , away from you (l), up , towards you (r) , up inverted , towards you (l),
Step #6: Super rotation
===> Ri Di R D
Note: nothing will go wrong in step 6,don’t be afraid, if you repeat step 6 – 6 times, the cube will come back to its original position. also when you align one corner piece on the topside, rotate the topside anticlockwise to get a new corner to be aligned, don’t rotate the whole cube when you align one corner price in step 6
After a few attempts you are done. See the completed version of my cube here.

the Zilla ! vs Business User
Jul 20, 2008 Fun, General, Technology
“The Zilla” has become my new nickname in office (with all credits to Collen for this amazing initiative) after I have started with bugzilla project to manage development activity at Chennai office. And the same guy says that I talk in C++ when he talks to me in English. I was wondering what makes me/us different from others, I think i have spend more time learning business process engineering, on-demand businesses, web design and marketing then with learning PHP or AJAX. So I thought of comparing the software that we use everyday to see if I can find any key differences in the way we work
An assumed list of tools that a business guy will use
Technologies/Concepts that they work with everyday

List of tools that I use everyday
Technologies/Concepts that I work with everyday

From the above comparision (length of the list)we infer that they are obviously doing lesser work then developers (he.. he.. i know i m gonna get kicked when collen sees this). They have fancy names for thier software, the only well known name in the list of my tools is firefox. But I never managed to understand what EFQM means???
