LED Faucet

Tired of the same old monotonous water? Bored with water that does not look like futuristic alien mouthwash? Need to make your midnite bathroom appointments more exciting? Then you need to get the LED faucet light attachment from ThinkGeek. You can activate any faucet in your house as a stream fantasia of techie-bliss in minutes. How does it work? Simply attach to the end of your faucet (Universal adapters included), and when the water flows through the magic chamber, it simply turns on the the LED and illuminates the stream with reassuring powerful hues.

There are also different faucet color to choose from:

• Blue LED - Always streams BLUE LED's

• Blue/Red LED - Normally streams BLUE LED's until the water temperature hits 89 degrees after which the LEDs turn RED!

Also included in the package:

• Chamber with LEDs

• Batteries pre-installed plus a set of spare batteries (uses G13-A style watch batteries)

• Instruction Sheet

• Two universal adaptors included. (fits most standard faucets in USA. Not recommended for faucets outside of the USA.)

• Dimensions: 2.25" tall, 1.25" diameter.

*Now this is the kind of faucet i want to have in my crib.*

The Day Mr. P. Niss asked for a Raise

I, Mr. P. Niss, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:
I do physical labor.
I work at great depths.
I plunge headfirst into everything I do.
I do not get weekends or public holidays off.
I work in a damp environment.
I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation.
I work in high temperatures.
My work exposes me to contagious diseases.

Sincerely,
P. Niss

The Response:

Dear P. Niss:
After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:
You do not work 8 hours straight.
You fall asleep after brief work periods.
You do not always follow the orders of the management team. You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen visiting other locations.
You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.
You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift. You don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing.
You will retire well before you are 65.
You are unable to work double shifts.
You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed assigned task.
And if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags.

Sincerely, V. Gina

Blogs and Search Engines

Why blog? I think blog is for everybody. For everyone who wants to read a lot, for those people who loves to surf the net and to met other people as well. Everybody can benefit from it. People who like to learn, people like to hear what you think and people who like opinions. So how does can somebody create a good blog and be a successful blogger?

I have read and searched for some Internet marketing professionals, which I think are credible and offer free advice. And i have learned from them to focus to these things and consider the following.

1. Content is King -> The content of your blog is the key to success.
2. Your site should have a Unique Selling Proposition (USP). -> Your blog should be unique.
3. Think of the users first, search engine second. -> Think for your reader and then the search engines
4. No link farming.
5. After launching the site, resist the temptation of checking the site regularly on Search Engine Results Page (SERP).
6. Link exchanges are not necessary. In some instances, it is beneficial but in terms of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), it has no value.
7. Domain name does not matter in SEO.

Definition of Software Life-Cycle

In the IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology the Software Life-Cycle is: The period of time that starts when a software product is conceived and ends when the product is no longer available for use. The software Life-Cycle typically includes a requirements phase, design phase, implementation phase, test phase, installation and check-out phase, operation and maintenance phase, and sometimes, retirement phase. (IEEE, 1995)

Software Life-Cycle Model is the blueprint of activities that occur during software development. Some software Life-Cycle has a series of phases which help managing the development of the project. It helps the developers understand the basic activities and characteristics of the project during development. It describe the period from the time a software product is conceived, and ending when the product no longer performs the functions for which it was designed. The software Life-Cycle is typically decomposed into various phases, such as requirements elicitation, analysis, design, programming, testing, installation and maintenance.
