Windhu - "Pulse"

A photo I took from my phone recently when I visited Thulusdhoo, in the Capital District of the Malidves. Extra-ordinary natural beauty, which just gives me the calmness and inner piece. I had to wake up early and walk 45mins to reach this place in the Island so I can take a nice picture without getting anyone else in it. When I look back, I felt I have left something behind. Something I am very passionate about. Writing and sharing my thoughts. I first started this blog as a way to learn how blogging works. Now that I have had many years to think about this fact, I have decided to start doing what I am passionate about. Last night I was wondering about. I had no direction within me. Like any of us when we feel bored little bit, we start using our smart phones. I was no different. I opened Netflix and did not have any enthusiasm to go watch any episodes. Then my second option is always YouTube. I was drifting away and was suggested a video of Tony Robbin s. I must say whenever...

Fabrication of resume is not an uncommon act. Many are guilty of that. Especially in an environment where, there is no means to cross reference the resumes, have left many people who are guilty of such a crime in high positions of the government and other commercial sectors. How often do we cross reference the letters or certificates? How often do we check the given serial numbers or at least the actual certificates when the copies have been submitted? Many times there is even no way to check a tracking number to see whether the person is telling the truth. This is where the importance of databases comes in to action. Central databases play an important role in reducing such frauds by giving the opportunity for everyone to at least check the serial numbers to trace back to the original. Many times what happen is that people who are 'smart' and wicked enough to commit such crimes play nicely. They won't fake an entire certificate or document, they just change the part they w...

Have you ever imagined a 'no windows' world? In a world where you don’t have to deal with any Operating Systems like windows? Sounds exciting aren’t it? Well, Microsoft has imagined it. They called it cloud computing. Steve Bass writes… It's true: Microsoft has confirmed that it's abandoning Windows as we know it. Cagey as ever, the Microsofties won't say when it'll happen, but they have talked a little bit about what the next OS is going to look like--or not look like. Microsoft code-named the project Midori. As best I can figure, its cloud computing: Everything, including applications and data, is on the Internet. What Exactly Is Midori? My colleague Elizabeth Montalbano, with the IDG News Service, tried making some sense of it in " Microsoft Prepares for End of Windows With Midori " and Erik Larkin, our crackerjack OS and Web guy, has plenty to say in " Cloud Computing, Microsoft's Midori, and the End of Windows ." There ar...

Toni Bowers writes... In the movies, all you need is access to the Internet to change someone’s bank account or to launch nuclear missiles. We know it’s all for effect, but how much is too much? ————————————————————————————————————— I love movies. I love television. But if you knew only of the world what you saw in those two media, you’d be one delusional person. For example, going by movie and TV alone, here’s what you would think you knew about the medical profession: Nobody ever comes into the ER with anything less than a rare condition brought on by the bite of a insect that is one of only six left on the planet. Writers write this way because an hour-long episode about a tetanus shot wouldn’t be worth watching. And TV’s view of journalism is seriously flawed because it implies that newspaper reporters are always running around chasing down important stories that involve some secret government conspiracy. When in reality, most reporters make a living writing obituary copy ...

Robert McMillan, IDG News Service writes.... You knew the argument had to come up sometime: survive the economic down turn by using open source to help you save money. Now Computer World blogger Steve J. Vaughan-Nichols makes that claim in his Linux Will Save Us blog post. The title almost has religious overtones. I found Steve's article thanks to blog posts by Alan Shimel and Michael Farnum . Whether it's iPhones, Linux vs. Microsoft , or Macs vs. PCs, there's always a group who are so overly passionate about their favorite hammer that everything else looks like a nail. I've developed many products on Linux, Windows and some even on Macs, to know that taking your favorite technology too seriously creates other blind spots in your logic and decision making. That said, I can't claim I've never done the same, but hopefully I've learned from those experiences. (My picking on Apple is all in good fun, btw.) Okay, now back to Steve's post about ditching...

Wisdom comes with proper belief. It is always the team work which goes beyond the one man’s effort. We have seen and witnessed that. So did we find out what was the problem? Why one party went beyond the expectation and others were just spectators of their success? Surely we have seen a wonderful performance. But was it just a single person’s effort? Managing a team is a hard work; it can be the most difficult of all the tasks. Just having a good team or crowd doesn ’t work, it is always the guidance of the leader and support of the members which makes the team work. Teams can only be put to work with a people oriented manager. A manager who tries to understand and tries to listen to his team members can go beyond an ordinary person’s expectation and even can break the limit of human barriers. So it is up tous to decide what we want to be. Just knowing doesn ’t work and we have seen it by experience. The point here is very simple. Knowledge and wisdom are two different things. Just kn...

Author: Jason Hiner Writes... It’s become horribly cliche to talk about the importance of IT-business alignment and the need for IT professionals to become much more business-savvy, but Gartner’s Tom Austin (right) takes it to the next level. He believes that the IT professional of the future will be less of an engineer and more of a social scientist. What? Yes, you heard that right — the word “social” will become a key part of the IT professional’s job description. It flies in the face of most of the stereotypes about techies and it sounds a little corny, but Austin does draw some interesting conclusions that are worth a look, if only because they are so unconventional. Here are some of the most salient quotes from Austin on this subject (from an interview in Fast Company ): “The problem with IT today is there are too many engineers and not enough social scientists.” “Too often, we have measurement and reward systems that are focused on how many transactions did you process, how man...
