The Next Breath… & Death!

I was sitting alone in my room. The lights put off and the sound of my breath hitting my ears in a systematic, periodic fashion. One after the other. I attempt to count them and the breathing gets harder. I count to a hundred and my mind can’t take anymore of it. The sound of my own breath becomes unbearable. I quit.

Ambient Networks: Seamless Switching!

A friend from Germany introduced me to an upcoming trend in the telecommunication industry, that of an Ambient Network. In an increasingly mobile world, we have a lot of networks around us. A network between two phones, a network between a phone and a computer, a network between two computers etc.

An Ambeint Network is basically a network integration solution to the modern-day problems of switching from one network to the other in order to keep in contact with the outside world. This project aims to develop a network software-driven infrastructure that will run on top of all current or future network physical infrastructures to provide a way for devices to connect to each other, and through each other to the outside world.

If you still have’nt grasped what it is about, let’s take this example. I often use my GPRS/EDGE enabled cell phone to connect to the internet using my laptop which has a bluetooth connection. This is how I connect:

Laptop -> ( via Bluetooth) -> Mobile -> (via GPRS/EDGE) -> Mobile phone network

Tagged?! :S

Okay, so I read this tagged thing at Ali Raza’s blog and I am trying to give it a try! So – I was tagged by Ali Raza Shaikh! I am still wondering how this thing works. Hmmm, about grabbing a book… The closest book to me right now is “Communication Electronics, Principles & Application”, written by Louis E. Frenzel.

Okay now, let us take a look at page 123 and its 5th line. The next three lines are:

“In the first case, multipliers of 2 and 3 are cascaded to produce an overall multiplication of 6. In the second example, three multipliers provide an overall multiplication of 30. The total multiplication factor is simply the product of the individual stage multiplication factors.”

Okay, and as the rules suggest, if you’re reading this post – you have been tagged and you are expected to put up a similar blog entry at your blog.

I guess this is it?! Did I get it right Ali?

I laughed at myself, I laughed at my surroundings, I laughed at what fate has in store for you and you never know what could happen in the next instant, I laughed at how fate can manipulate your life, I laughed at a number of other things – not that I was being ridiculous and laughing non-stop in public, I was laughing in my heart of course! How could I have ended up in Abu Dhabi in a matter of a couple of hours – totally unprepared and unplanned! (more…)
