when i love something, I love to talk about it.
So someone was cribbing about not including Galaxy S2 & including Apple's iPhone as one of the best phone in the "Best phones list" in post : http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/test-centre/mobile-phone/3210667/15-best-smar... .
Then I had to speak out. This is what I said :
I own a HTC One X , it crashed thrice and I lost my data ( which I didn't back up ). HTC support sucks.
About Samsung Galaxy, after an year, it started malfunctioning, screen has got dead pixels and tap isn't working on a few areas.
About Apple, It's an amazing ecosystem. I own a Mac, i had issues, I took it to Apple Care, they replaced the parts without hassles on priority. I have iPad 2 too, been amazing so far.
Apple sells not because of "The brand" but because of built quality ( check tech specs ) , amazing support, amazing integration among different devices.
- enough said
People are agreeing to it :))
PS : HTC Customer Care services are really bad in India & they should certainly work on that.
Basic Logic Unexceptional Result
Diaries, I love writing them.
Over the course of 4 years , I wrote about 7000 pieces of notes which included my diaries, random thoughts, my billion dollar ideas.
Quarter of them I got from my old E63, flat html files ( about 1500 of them ), rest of them were downloaded as archive from Awesome Simplenotes & Catch Notes making app which stopped their operations permanently.
I had to get them on track so I migrated everything to evernote.
First 4 files of each of these text file was appended with data relevent to catch.com not me.
So i had to get rid of it.
I ran following script in the folder where these txt files were present.
#!/bin/bash
for i in {1..8000}
do
sed '1,3d' note\ $i.txt > note12\ $i.txt
rm note\ $i.txt
done
Assuming I had to do this entire tedious task by myself, for each file i would have taken atleast 20s minimum. For 7038 files = 20*7038=140760 seconds / 60 = 2346 minutes / 60 = 39.1 hours
By doing research about SED command , bit of scripting basics and final execution, took me less than an hour.
In total I saved 38 hours and I was left with all of my precious notes which will be imported in my new notes app ( evernote, it is )
not living in a present moment
Do you remember the time when you were not living in the present moment. I do , I certainly do. I am sure I have to drop this nasty habit now !

fondness of *William Shakespeare*
i am fond of William Shakespeare . he is among a few authors whose book I started reading back in 2000s when I was 10 .
With so many amazing memories , all of the characters used to come in my dreams .
the way william used to write , making sense out of it was quite challenging at times .
some amazing lines from
merchant of venice
Ant.
In sooth, I know not why I am so sad:
It wearies me;
you say it wearies you;
But how I caught it, found it, or came by it
,
What stuff ’tis made of, whereof it is born,
I am to learn;
And such a want-wit sadness makes of me,
That I have much ado to know myself.
even now making absolute sense out of this is maddening .
but guess what , what doesn't kills you , makes you stronger ;)
