Sybreon Ones Nought

We started our day by visiting the tribal people - Karens. These are those famous long-necked women that depress their collar bones for beauty. The thing that interested me more during our visit was their use of local engineering and technology. I observed that their roofs were made with regular dried leaves and they used water power for their machines. Such things interest me because I'm a hardcore ...

Okay, I thought that I should get this all written down while the memories are still fresh in my head. So, here goes. We left for the LCCT at the wee hours of the morning and drove two cars there. Since this was my first experience with AirAsia at the LCCT, I would like to put on record that it is nothing like my experience with Stansted and Ryanair. ...

I had recently been contacted by a final year undergraduate at my previous university, where I finished by Bachelor's degree. He was interested in continuing the work that I did there as an undergraduate and he would appreciate any heads-up that I could give him. He also had little knowledge in the specific area and asked me for recommendations on reading material. Seeing that it was someone from my ...

I successfully made it home in one piece, although there were several interesting things that happened along the way. I think that this is probably the most eventful flight that I had ever been on. So, I thought that I'd share a few of the things that had happened on that fateful day. It all started with the coach ride to the airport. When we left Stansted, the coach ...

A bunch of friends and I went to watch the Dark Knight last night. Although I lived closest to the cinema, I ended up arriving the earliest, a full 30 minutes before the show began. The cinema was packed full and we were lucky to get the seats that we managed to get. Right after they had finished showing the trailers and we were eager to get going with ...

For some unfathomable reason, a mailing list that I was running, decided to stop working last week. Whenever anyone sent an email to the mailing list, they would get a bounced error and fail. I was forced to reboot the server two weeks ago, but I had not changed any settings since. So, I was rather puzzled as to what was going on. The first thing I did was ...

This is just the most wonderful invention that I've come across in recent years. It's called the Vilcus plug dactyloadapter and according to the website, it was created to solve the problem: Create an adapter for sticking fingers into electrical sockets. Well, getting myself electrocuted on purpose isn't something unknown to me. I have done it several times during my youth and I have lived to tell the tale. ...

Alternative energy, especially renewable power, is an exciting area of work in engineering today. Everyone in the world seems to be interested in it. The trouble in the past, was that oil was extremely cheap. So, there was no impetus to push for alternative sources of energy. But the rising oil prices is changing all this and if it ever hits $200 a barrel, alternative energy technologies will ...
