Don't Pull A Zidane ... It Hurts!

Ok, so when I showed up to work yesterday the AC wasn't working. I have to deal with a faulty thermostat all the time at work ... so this wasn't something new. However, what was new was the fact that all 3 ACs that service my office were out of commission.

Luckily, I was able to grab the building superintendent outside the office, and he told me that he was already working on the issue. ... And 5 minutes later ... the AC on the other end of the office activates, while mine was still dead!.

A Filter-less Central AC

I'm sure by now, everyone has heard of the Dyson Vacuum Cleaner. But do you know how it works? More specifically, do you know how it is able to seperate the dirt from the air without a filter?

Well it uses a process called Cyclonic Filteration. The air inside the vacuum cleaner is forced to spin so fast that the dirt/dust in the air literally just falls out. Now this is super cool.

Like this:

Ultimate Stag = Ultimate Paintball

So my buddy Mohsin is getting married in August, and we all decided to go paintballing in celebration. Somehow, someone found an outdoor paintball field that's not too far from Mississauga (if you call Milton not too far).

It's called Ultimate Paintball.

Just a word of caution ... take some insect repellent when you go there .... I've got 3 mosquito bites on my left hand and 4 on my right ... and 3 on my head.

Oh No! My Desktop Died!

- Doctor, Doctor! What do I do!?!?

- Well son, first you've got to tell me what the symptoms are.

Don't Pull an "Ash"

Ok, I've got a cowerker here named Ashutosh (Ash for short). Ash likes to build interest on many different technologies that he randomly finds online.

For example, there's an opensource Content Management System called Typo3 that is very powerful and scalable. Ash, naturally, was very quick to propound upon the many positives of using such a powerful and complex system. Of course, he neglected to also indicate the very steep learning curve associated with this CMS. In effect, he pulled an Ash.
