A Day I Would Love to Forget!

I don’t know how many of us can foresee an eventful day when we wake up early morning. I couldn’t either and hence this article comes up :-)

It was like everything had to go wrong for me right from the word ‘go’. When I was taking mummy to the hotel from the hospital, the taxi driver took a longer route and I ended up paying out of my shallow pockets. He didn’t have the necessary change to give me too. Then on my way to the office I encountered another driver who did a similar thing by taking a longer route. I guess every one was briefed about taking their passengers on a ‘joy ride’ today by the Taxi Union. By the time my day was over and I met mummy again at the room, I took another taxi ride to the station. This time the driver didn’t have even 2 rupees to pay me the extra change for Rs. 20. So I obliged by fishing out the last penny that I could find from my big bag and yet it was 50ps less which he didn’t mind :-)

Fairly Relaxed Today

A friday is a day when you actually are free from all the worries of the past week and are looking forward to spending time on the weekends. At the office though, we have been undergoing some horrific moments over the Banking website. Nevertheless, today was really a wonderful day for me. For a start, it was after a long time that I wore my favorite Provogue shirt :-)

Squirrel Mania

SquirrelI would not have written this piece but for this cute little bushy tailed sweetie who comes everyday to visit us. Mom has been feeding her for sometime and I have got used to her presence now. I am talking about a squirrel who has become like a family member now. Her favourite area is the pot where we have a flowering plant standing tall amongst the other lot.

Interaction Design, here I come?

This HAS to be the most frustrating of experiences for every avid internet lover (like me). I am still facing constant problems with my internet and I spent 2 days without it. This has become routine now and I am wondering how I am going to spend the longgg weekend which comes this week.

Anyways the good news is that I have started to take a lot of interest in Human Computer Interaction (HCI). I had said earlier that I want to make my career in HCI and Usability and thankfully there are a lot of resources available on the internet to read. I presume I might also buy some books on Interaction Design in the coming future. Essentially interaction design could b the difference between a good and a bad systems design. The very term ‘interaction design’ is vast and has a lot to do with how humans are adept at using interactive products.

In the coming months I would contribute to this blog by presenting some of my thoughts on HCI. Likewise I am pleased to announce my partnership with Cybaba. We have realised the need to give an impetus to HCI and usability and we will be focusing mainly on thses issues on the cyBLOG. So do keep visiting the website :-)

WeBreakStuff.com

Webreakstuff Let me be honest and confess that I lost the URL of this fabulous website and lost all the hopes of finding it on the superhighway. I only knew a few things about it on my first visit which were “portuguese”, “designer” and the fact that it was made entirely in “WordPress”. I managed to “Google” the keywords and I ‘excavated’ this website once again :-) The website is called WeBreakStuff and I always mispronounce it as “Web Break Stuff”.
