If I was as Engineer

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Since my childhood I had a thing for engineering and I always wanted to be an Engineer, but the faith had decided something else for me. Anyways, I am not going to blame my faith for this because I love what I am today, I was a deep art admirer too and had good drawing skills while I was in school but I never realized that time that I could be an artist but later time made me realize it :)

I still love engineering and always keen to read and know about new inventions that guys come up with. Let it be electronic engineering or mechanical. If I had become an engineer instead of a designer then this is what I had been working on:

1- A vehicle that can be used as car and can also be converted into a bike whenever needed. It will certainly help a lot in traffic jams and parking.

2- A mobile phone that doesn’t need charger; instead, movement can keep it charged, like in the old watches. I remember my mother used to wear a watch which didn’t had any cells/batteries in it, she always set the time and wear it, it automatically starts ticking using the movement of hand.

How to stop Blog-Spam?

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

I usually don’t write too much posts but still my blog is flooded with spam messages/comments. I had to manually delete each spam comment every morning until I got the Wordpress plugin which does this job for me. Its Akismet Spam Blocking plugin. I just noticed that it has blocked over 12,900 spam messages since I installed it. As far as I remember, I installed it in the starting of 2008. So, its doing pretty good job for me.
