Beauty lies in the eyes of Beer - Holder



Programmer vs. Developer ...

Somebody once asked me what the difference was between a programmer and a software Developer. Is there any difference ?...I answered following:

Programmer: A biological machine designed to convert caffeine into code.
  • Is someone who does nothing but code new features or fixing bugs
  • Someone who, if given a complete functional design, task, can code huge systems and do it extremely well.
  • They don't write specifications.
  • They don't write automated test cases.
Developer: A person who develops working systems by writing and using software.
  • People who will contribute in multiple ways to make the product successful
  • A developer is the complete package.

To be more clear....I am a programmer and my wife is a developer.

six Wonderful Google Games To Keep You Entertained

Warning: Google Games mentioned here may be highly addictive.

Google is not just a search engine...Did you ever click on more button
  1. Guess the Place - You are shown a picture and need to find out which country, state or city is being shown by looking at parts of Google Maps, or Flickr images of the place
  2. Google Mirror - elgoog - This site is like a mirror reflection of Google.
  3. Gwigle - What Am I Googling? - A very addictive game where you are shown the Google search results page and you then have to reverse guess the search query.
  4. Googlewhack - A Googlewhack is a Google search query consisting of two words - both in the dictionary, and without quotation marks - that returns a single result. The search will list 'Results 1-1 of 1'.
  5. World War on Google Maps - Online players (2-25) randomly receive a set of countries with troop hitpoints based on real world population data. To play: attack neutral and enemy countries in an effort to try to take over the world.
  6. Google Maps Flight Simulator - Nothing so advanced as the Microsoft Flight simulator, but this Googel computer game lets you fly a small farmer plane over any landscape created from a compilation of Google Maps images.

Help yourself

There are some interesting articles about body language. I've recently read and they center around "self help".

like the "Eye contact"...

I love reading about have eye contact ---"have eye contact, but don't stare" । But once you get it down - you start doing it without thinking.I do that.

excellent points there...

Just remembering...

read on internet...

Some things I’ve learned from TV

  • Cars and trucks that crash almost always burst into flames.
  • When you wake up from a nightmare, you will always sit bolt upright, in a sweat, and breath heavy.
  • Creepy music coming from a graveyard always mandates investigation
  • When you are outnumbered in a martial arts fight – your enemies will always wait patiently to attack you one by one (waiting for you to knock out their predecessor of course)
  • Having a job of any sort will cause all fathers to forget their son’s/daughter’s birthday.
  • All bombs have very large, red LED display so you know exactly when they will go off
  • When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other

Thank's Tom for all input's
