  • Poem Highlights: Why Computers Sometimes Crash!


    [You gotta read this one out loud]

    If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port
    And the bus is interrupted at a very last resort
    And the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort
    Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

    If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash
    And the double-clicking Icon puts your window in the trash
    And your data is corrupted cause the index doesn’t hash
    Then your situation’s hopeless and your system’s gonna crash!

    If the label on the cable on the table at your house
    Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse
    But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol
    That’s repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

    And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
    So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse
    Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang
    ‘cuz sure as I’m a poet, the sucker’s gonna hang.

    When the copy on your floppy’s getting sloppy in the disk
    And the macro code instructions are causing unnecessary risk
    Then you’ll have to flash the memory and you’ll want to RAM your ROM
    And then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

  • Story Corner: the Lion, the Snake, and Honey


    Once upon a time there was a man walking in the beautiful jungle admiring the tall trees and enjoying the scenes in it, SUDDENLY he was startled by a big ROAR he looked back to see a BIG HUNGRY LION running towards him so, he started running as fast as he could, he saw an old well infront of him so, he jumped into it to avoid the hungry lion, he grabbed on the rope that was in the well.

    After he cuold hear the lions roar no more, he suddenly heard the HISSS of a BIG POISONOUS SNAKE from beneath him in the well, so he tried to climb up using the rope , SUDDENLY, two MICE, one was WHITE and the other was BLACK, the two mice started nibling on the rope to cut it so, the man started swinging the rope and bumping on the sides of the WELL.

    As he was doing that he hit something soft, he reached his hand and touched it, IT WAS HONNEY, he liked the taste of honey so much that he started eating it and forgot all about the lion and the snake and the two mice, SUDDENLY THE MAN WOKE UP.

    It was only a DREAM …

    The man wanted to know what his dream was so, he went to a wiseman and told him about it. The wise man smilled and told him that:

    The LION was the angel of death 
    The WELL and the SNAKE in it is his grave 
    The BLACK and WHITE MICE are the days and nights that are been counting his life 

    So the man asked the wise man “what about the HONNEY”, the wise man said: this is LIFE itself, it is so sweet that it makes you forget that there is DEATH and JUDGEMENT.

    The Moral of this story:

    • We live in this world enjoying every pleasure in it that we sometimes forget the real reason we are created for !!

    Google has bought GrandCentral Communications, a fledgling Internet firm that gives people telephone numbers that essentially follow them where ever they go.

    Google did not disclose how much it paid for the Silicon Valley start-up but said the technology will give users of the popular Internet firm’s services another way to communicate.

    “We think GrandCentral’s technology fits well into Google’s efforts to provide services that enhance the collaborative exchange of information between our users,” product manager Wesley Chan said in a posting on Google’s website.

  • Some Rules cannot be followed !


    A lady manager of a big reputed office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into her office.
    “What is your name?” was the first thing she asked the new guy.
    “John ,” the new guy replied.
    She scowled, “Look… I don’t know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority.
    I refer to my employees by their last name only … Smith, Jones, Baker …that’s all.
    I am to be referred to only as Mrs. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?”
    The new guy sighed, “Darling …… My name is John Darling.”
    “Okay John, the next thing I want to tell you is . . .”
