Krishnan's weblog – an assortment of things. A scribble pad. A hybrid microblog. Mostly bread crumbs of an internet journey.
I had a great lunch at office today.
Basically it was tacos with chicken dumplings, cabbage shreds, tomato slices, pickled japalenos, guacamole, sour cream and a cheese rich sauce. After my rather large bowl was filled with this salad, I grabbed another box and threw in large slice of roasted salmon with yet another salad of broccoli, baby corn, carrot, peas and onions.
Food choices can become difficult for guys like me who don’t touch the stove. Also, we don’t eat everything that comes our way. Angus cheese burger – no thank you. Pepperoni pizza – no thank you. I can tolerate pieces of ham on my panini though.
All last week, I ate foot long submarines with white bread, mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce, tomataoes, onions and chicken every day for lunch. Today the very sight of good food at the next counter freaked me out and I just finished two really large bowls of salads.
God bless Skyline Deli.
There are said to be six major areas in the cognitive development process that includes: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
1. Knowledge is remembering previously learned material, from specific facts to complete theories.
2. Comprehension is the ability to grasp the meaning of material.
3. Application is the ability to use learned material in and concrete situations. This may include the application of such things as rules, methods, and concepts.
4. Analysis is defined as the ability to break down a problem into component parts so that its organization is understood.
5. Synthesis is defined as the ability to put parts together to form a new whole view or aspect
6. Evaluation is defined as the ability to judge the value of materials for a given purpose
I picked up a used Axim X5 from Houston’s craigslist.
This is just to get familiarised with the PPC platform. Its been reset to factory defaults. I’ve had it for over 5 hours now and strangely, I havent still installed a single software. This didnt come with any software 
The manuals are available at http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/aximx5/en/index.htm
I downloaded and installed graphing calculators for my Palm today.
Now I can choose between HP48SX, HP48GX and HP49G on my handheld 
The website version of Power 48 does not run HP49G.
There is an update available here.
Calculator ROMS are available here.
Trying to learn about RPN from Wikipedia, I landed here.
Voidware, hpcalc.org and HP calculator museum were interesting too.
The description of this moment is borrowed from the Fools garden:
I’m sitting here
I miss the power
I’d like to go out taking a shower
But there’s a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
While nothing ever happens and I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don’t want to sit on the lemon-tree
I’m steppin’ around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I’ll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder
Texans sure know Whataburger.
I’ve never been to eat there. What is in a burger, after all?
When I returned from office today, I just hit the bed and it was like 7 p.m. I can now faintly recollect my wife asking me what I’d like to have for dinner and me telling her something light, like the onion buns we picked from Walmart. She asked me if I would like to have chicken between the slices and I said yes. She asked if I’d like some cheese or butter and I declined. I dont remember anything that happened after that, as I crashed for some much needed rest.
8.30. pm. My wife woke me up and served me dinner almost by force. I refused to let her turn the lights on. I sat up on the bed without even slipping out of the blanket entirely and looked the sliced Walmart onion bun that was on my plate in a dim light that originated from the next room. I lifted the top half and to my relief found some thing filled in between though it didn’t add a lot of volume. I knew that filling would change the taste of my bun. Half asleep, I bit into it…and chewed on it.
Whataburger!
It had 1 cm cubes of chiken, a paste of potato, chillies, onions, coriander and traces of many other masalas all of which showed up at once.
I didn’t wake up after the first bite. But by the time, I finished half of it, I had the lights on and was pretty much conscious. My wife figured that I liked ‘it’ and and offered to make me one more.
After two “super Indian style ‘it’s/’whataburgars”, I demanded a large glass of diet coke to be served at my bed. No sooner than I finished my coke, I jumped out of my bed and reached for my laptop.
I am good now and fully prepared to take on an official call at 10 pm, which I’m secretly hoping won’t come. But it might.
“Ghar ka whataburghar” took me by surprise. Ghar ka khana can indeed open up new possibilities
I love Wikipedia for many reasons
- It is a dynamic encyclopedia
- It is free
- I can contribute to it
- It unleashes the full power of hypertext and enables the knowledge seeker to reach new limits effortlessly
Now there is one more reason to love it.
- It runs offline on my Palm.
I discovered the possibility just 5 hours ago. Thanks to the download speeds and possibilities in the U.S., Wikipedia is now running off-line on my Palm
Like antibiotics work on bacteria, music does work on me…
I’m the kind of guy that types faithhill.com in firefox and loses himself for 5 minutes. It happened today.
I just wish I could take a long break and unwind….
The Piel Frama case for my handheld was delivered to me today.
After spending 74 USD, I’m learning to love the new look of my Palm TX.
It occurred to me in an instant that I should write about it. At that instant, every thing about that faint idea was clear to me. I could see how it could make a difference.
Then time passed by. One, two, three … millions of seconds passing over it, reducing the idea that was already a voiceless speck of dust into something much more insignificant.
The idea is lost. My mind is blank. I know that the same thought will perhaps never cross me again. But my fingers seem to be typing this out to the utter amazement of my blanked out mind.
I’m sure you know what I’m talking about… perhaps, not.
Learning Daily is a personal blog that is just as random as my thoughts. The navigation bar at the top and the search box may be the only things that will help you find something.
My present interests lie in sustainability, peak oil, debian, Web after 2.0, creativity and epistemology. I learn daily. I learn about everything under the sun and even those beyond it. I am a perpetual student whose believes that wisdom is the real reward for learning.
