I wonder if humanity is destined to kill each other and destroy each other in the name of religion, politics , greed , power, their own ideology and believes ... being hypocrites. Looking at the way the world is heading, where groups of people take up arms in the name of their religion and belief... I wonder if the supposed destructions of the world ... or maybe not really the world but just the human race stated in myths... are caused by humanity itself ?
Maybe Armageddon isn't about fantastic crashing of meteors or messiahs descending to save humanity... but humanity struggling among themselves from being destroyed by each other ?

Ethical Robots of War ?
Refer to: http://hardware.slashdot.org/hardware/08/01/28/1638253.shtml and http://www.cc.gatech.edu/ai/robot-lab/online-publications/formalizationv35.pdf
Do you think humans would ever implement an ethical robot ? I think it's all big talks and makes things sound nicer. The very human nature is so predictable and corrupted, easily swayed when winds of changes move. I am not being a pessimist but it's about reality. If person or something becomes and follows ethical , it's as good as not doing the unethical (killing , using lethal force ...etc.) So those who thought up about this ethical robot thing , fat hope and I think you lot knows very well how corrupted our nature are. Time to wake up sleepy heads. If there's really ethics , we wouldn't have so much trouble and bad news around these days. Those who talk big about ethics ... are pure hypocrites and fascist ... save for a very small minor and rare ones. So far , I have not seen anyone who fits into the rare group yet.
There's an old saying, when people talk about morals , it's when morals are absent. When people talk about good governing , it's when good governance is absent. I forget who said it but I think this saying is very true. When a sage comes to teach about morals , it's when people are corrupted that's why sages come to attempt to teach. If everyone is not corrupted , then where do you need to have someone to teach and rant about ? If a country is well governed , people wouldn't be bothered to talk about good governance because good governance is already there. Only when there's a lack of good governance , that's when people come out to rant about it.

Electronic Insecurities In the Modern Era
As technology grows better , even home computers can be installed with decryption programs to decrypt/hack/crack the commonly use 256 bits AES encryption which is supposedly to be an international standard encryption used by companies , groups , individuals , organizations , governments ...etc . Those who understand and have knowledge of cryptography would understand the insecurities of these supposedly strong international encryption which is suppose to protect your data. Does it really protect your data ? NO !!!
So do you think your encrypted transactions , secure webs , encrypted text , databases , applications are really safe ? NO !!!
Those who think that current encryption is safe should start to feel the dangers looming just over the horizon as home computers , laptops , mobile devices and servers are nowadays equiped with multiple core CPU , better hardware specifications , better technology ...
Usual hackers are one thing to worry. The next thing to worry is those whom you trust most with your secrets. Why ? They can easily betray you. Computers can and would and have always been betraying us by 'accidentally' leaking our vital data out in many forms.
Governments around the world these days are outrightly denying us of our basic rights of privacy by sniffing our data we sent across the internet. In the name of war against terrorism, they implement such methods...which we have very little idea of their real intentions. Companies , groups and organizations do not usually keep their promises of safe keeping our personal data from others which we give them during our surveys or registrations. They always have good excuses to evade if we ask them why our data have been leaked. Some companies and organizations may go to the extend of doing 'under the table' trading of our personal datas they 'promised' to keep secret in contracts to those who are willing to pay them huge sums of money.
So you think by using encrypted instant messaging , encrypted databases , safe and secure SSL , TLS data channels to surf the net and downloads and send encrypted emails or do purchases over secure websites, you are really very safe ? Do you think firewalls , proxies , SELinux , AppArmor , Anti virus , anti spyware , anti malware are secure ?
I would definitely say NO !!! You are not safe with all these encrypted or so called 'secure' features. There is always ways to break it. Huge agencies and organizations have the money, resources , man power , brains ... all at their disposal to crack and break every single encryption there is today and in the future if they really start to become serious ...or should I say ..many have already started to do so ...
Do you really trust the applications you are running or you downloaded and installed in your computer ? Do you trust your Operating System would not betray your data to someone ?
NO !!!
So some of you may think I am crazy and paranoid ... but it's always better to be safe than sorry when real disaster strikes. So some of you might ask, if the world is really insecure, then what now ? Well this is how the world work. As long as there is us , humans , and as long as we become more powerful , we become more corrupted by power and become more power hungry. Yes , the ugly side of human nature. It's disgusting isn't it ?
So eventually and finally, there's NO SUCH THINGS AS SECRETS BECAUSE ALL SECRETS CAN AND WOULD BE KNOWN !!! Even the military grade encryptions are vulnerable because sooner or later , someone would crack it. Well, we have to live with it in an era where our secrets cannot be kept in a machine or on paper and neither in our minds.

My theory on codes of games...
I was having some free time so I decided to play Starcraft's multi player Original edition with the Top vs Bottom 4 vs 4 mode. I took a protoss as usual and one of my favourite race and the others are computers. While I was playing , I noticed that the computer codes were rather more bias to the opposition than to the players team. How do I know the codes are bias ? Because I am a programmer with some experience in writing programs so I made an observation on many rounds and I came up with the theory that codes are written for bias one sidedness. My theory was true because everytime me or my allies attack an enemy's base the nearest enemy's forces , and even as many enemy forces if possible with the local defending forces would swarm like ants and bees being disturbed to fight to their death trying to repel the attackers and they come in swarms. When my allies or me get attacked , we do help each other but not to the extend of like the enemies , generously swarming the attackers for you. You have to defend on your own most of the time and help arrives in a handful when you are about to die out. By then, it's too late to repel the invaders. Maybe my allies are not sentient or smart enough to react and are rather stupid entities but the frequent calculated and sentient like reaction of the enemies makes it even far more suspicious that the makers may have created it in that way .... hmmm.....
Anyway, I am just providing information and my theory, not creating a hate post. I would still continue to enjoy playing Starcraft anyway.
I noticed that I have to bend down to look at the screen when playing games and it causes my back of the neck and shoulder muscles (because my hands are resting on the tables), to ache. So those who are going to play games for a little more than 30 minutes, just pause it , do some stretching and basic exercises , walk around , look at other stuff like trees and plants for 10 to 15 minutes before getting back. Drink some water to hydrate yourself too .This would help to maintain your health.

Sensitive Pawns
Human sensitives and even normal humans can fall prey to the schemes and plans of entities who seek to manipulate world events or checking out how humans and others react to certain situations they wish to create.
An example is that some sensitives or someone may come into interaction with entities who claim they are so and so and that they are here to help or do something 'nice' or appear beneficial to people but you may not know if this entity is really who it claims to be or what's the true intend of the entity. This happens to anyone and can happen to everyone. No matter you are practising Dark Arts, White Magick , Grey Magick , Chaos Magick ... Ceremonial Magick ... any kind of energy or spiritual related or even non-spiritual related stuff... the entities can and would try to approach you. They may spoof identities , manifest in forms and signs to convince.
To the entity, the person who begins to accepts and listen to them are now the entities pawns whether they want to influence world events indirectly by these individuals or even groups or maybe they just want to check out and test and experiment on humans or they just want companion... there are many reasons. Some of these individuals even create their own sect or religion after being 'inspired' by these entities.
People without enough understanding and knowing of the nature of entities and of the True Nature of all things would easily fall prey to the whims of these entities. Maybe these entities truely wanted to help ? Who knows what are their aims.
I am not saying that these entities are evil because we cannot make a sweeping statement and since to entities of medium to high plane of level , the concept of Good or Evil doesn't exist because they understand the nature of all things and thus they are beyond the reach of duality. In truth , anything in the realm of duality is an illusion so Good and Evil is an illusion made by our minds and to make our behaviours predictable and controllable.
There are many entities and each is unique. Each entity have the capacity to influence humans at whims and can spoof identities very well. We have to sense the essence of their intend and be careful. Normal methods of divination and probing entities do not work on entities because entities would have already known what you want to divine and probe and change the results far before you can even set to find the answer.
Not all entities are as they seem and humans would continually become the pawns of entities as long as humans do not evolve and understand and know the True Nature of all things without dogma and pre-conceived notions.

Earth's Healing Progress
I personally felt that efforts trying to go green is too late for trying to reverse the adverse global environmental. It took humans so long to understand and become aware and even longer to get moving to go green. Going green is reducing...not cleaning up the mess. So the original mess still exist and even if a little bit more is added...it is as good as mess still existing. I think that we are on a road to irreversible 'destruction' and sooner or later , Mother Earth would have to hit the 'Clean Myself Up' button and launch some nasty catastrophic disasters to wipe clean. It's like having a sneeze to remove the dust in the nose and we are the dust and the sneeze is to clean up civilization from the surface of Earth. I felt that Mother Earth would not spare anyone when cleaning since she has little feelings to us and we have been treating her badly.
Sooner or later...destruction of humanity would come from the very hands of our ambitions or from Mother Nature.

Another of my rants... Upgrading yourself.
Currently is the cold / flu and cough season in my region and it's an irritating thing where many people around you fall sick. I thought it would be good to do an energy and body upgrade for my energy and body so that my body woould be more tolerant to all these nasty colds and cough and my energy would be stronger which helps to resist the energy of such irritating colds and cough.
There are many ways to receive upgrades for one's energy and body and one of the simplest way is to request from your inner self for some upgrades and feel with your intuition on what you should do whether you should just let the upgrades run on it's own or do you need to help in the process.It sounds simple but to be able to request some upgrades and rely on one's intuition to know what to do for the process of the upgrades is not as easy as one might think because many people would misinterpret usual thoughts as intuitions and their skeptism and not willing to let go and approach the inner self gets in their way. You may want to specify your upgrades or leave it generic but with some abstract 'wish list'. I personally do generic upgrades and let my inner self decide what upgrades to give since the inner self knows best what I need but sometimes I do pass some abstract 'wish list' to the inner self to get certain upgrades. Specific upgrades are not usually used because you may not really know what you truely need...unless you know what you are doing and your intuition is sharp to guide you well.
Most of my upgrades requires me to sit back and relax and some requires me to lightly focus on the generic 'wish list' or lightly focus and remind myself that I am taking an upgrade. Some of my uupgrades require me to totally relax and let the inner self take over the decision making.
After the upgrades I have taken till now, I personally felt an improvement in my energy, understanding / knowing, attitude/character... etc.
Do not expect dramatic results or anything. Most upgrades just 'silently happens' and most likely you don't feel anything but it's set inside you already.

Light and Dark ?
So you think the bright shining light or that infinite abyss of darkness is really light or really darkness ? Well , if your answer is yes , you are very much deluded . That light that you see ... all those comfy , healing , lovely , anti-darkness , anti-evil ...etc light which you see and know from all those movies , books , games , occult stuff are not even real light. Light workers and energy workers who keep refering to light and stuff like that are just interacting with a psuedo light and makes people all that hippie and lovely about it.
(P.S. if you are those "Evil" or "Satan" or "Dark" people , don't get too happy when i comment about those light people... I am gonna comment about you too.)
Those darkness you think you have expressed, those infinite abyss and whatsoever kind of stuff ... those are also psuedo darkness . Real darkness isn't like that. If you come in contact with real darkness , it is far lot more than those abyss or void , you would feel a very very different feeling far more different than the usual psuedo darkness. Thinking that pleasing some dark gods or whatsoever would get you more dark powers or more contact with darkness... wishful thinking. It's far lot further.
In fact ,the more you dwell and hold onto the psuedo light and darkness , the further you are from the real light and darkness ...but again , real light and darkness is there and not there, so it cannot be considered there or not there. Zen-like statement ? If you can understand the above , you would have known the nature of true darkness and light....then when and what's the need fro all those dark works or light works ? You wouldn't even bother about any of such works anymore.

just a thought about so called 'goodness'
I was pondering over what is 'Goodness' and I recalled some events where the so called 'righteous' and 'good' are plain hypocrites who just uses the name of 'Goodness' and 'Righteous' to operate and achieve their underhanded agenda.
One of them was an ex-friend who claimed that he was 'righteous' but his actions and behavious are inverse and tried to subjugate me to follow his path of believe claiming that i am evil. Ah well...that's overly ridiculous and I broke up friendship with him since he's getting more irritating and after that , according to my friends , he has been gossiping and spreading defaming words about me. Well...all these happened 3 to 4 years ago.
So, readers beware , those who claim 'righteous' or 'good' maybe one of the greatest liars and hypocrites in the world of humans.

My view on vegan and vegetarian practise
The amount of vegans and vegetarians have been growing as the years pass. Some vegans and vegetarians restrict their diets for health reasons or for a healthy lifestyle which it has claimed to work. There are also vegans and vegetarians who restrict their diets for religious practises. Some occult , newage or magickal traditions practise vegan or vegetarianism in order not to kill lifes and also to collect good karma .
I personally felt that as long as you live, you are sure to kill something. The bacterials in the air when you breathe in, when you walk, you may accidentally kill some small insects and even microscopic organism. When you drink water, you kill the micro organism in the water. When you sit, you are also killing micro organism on the chair. Whatever you do, you kill something.
Vegetables contain living organism and vegetable has life of it's own that's why it can grow and some experiements have proven that plants and vegetables have the ability to feel emotions. In order to harvest a vegetable or to plan it, many insects are killed when the plough hits the grow or when insecticides are used. Forest have to be cleared for land to plant the vegetables and animals maybe killed in the process of clearing the forest to make farming lands. Flour are made from plants like rice and these plants, as I have mentioned above, can grow and can feel. Plants thus have consciousness in short and the ability to live. Isn't eating vegetables or plants as good as killing animals ? I personally felt that there's no difference between vegans or vegetarians or those who eat meat. They still kill, which they have always been trying to avoid. If you don't want to kill, then it's as good as not existing on Earth because existing means that you have to eat at certain time, you have to walk and drink which kills organism ... and many more examples too long to be listed here.
I personally don't see why there are rules for vegans or vegetarianism when it's also killing ? Does vegetarian diet really bring that "purity" which have been promised in religions or occult or magickal practises ?
I felt that such practises are for comforting the mind and only that.
This is my personal view of vegans and vegetarians in religious or occult or magickal practises.
This post DOES NOT seek to offend or insult any religious organizations, cult groups, magickal practises or vegans or vegetarians in any way other than me trying to express my view.

The Wandering Hermit
This is a poem I just thought of and I try to take as much out from my heart and put them into this poem. This is the first draft I penned down.
I wander past without a goal,
Carefree from the wordly affairs.
My own dreams, my own thoughts,
Beneath the clouds, I dream.
Without a care for what others might think,
I sail the clouds and streams.
On my own path I walk despite what others might think.
This a pathless path I thread,
Without worries, without care.
A spirit who wander through the worlds and space,
through the realms and places.
No restrictions and hinderances.
Thus I am truely carefree ...
In depths of thoughts I contemplate,
Who truely knows my heart ?
Few truely knows my heart.
Alone, I wander freely on,
Thus, I am the wandering hermit ...
I wander past without a goal,
Carefree from the wordly affairs.
My own dreams, my own thoughts,
Beneath the clouds, I dream.
Without a care for what others might think,
I sail the clouds and streams.
On my own path I walk despite what others might think.
This a pathless path I thread,
Without worries, without care.
A spirit who wander through the worlds and space,
through the realms and places.
No restrictions and hinderances.
Thus I am truely carefree ...
In depths of thoughts I contemplate,
Who truely knows my heart ?
Few truely knows my heart.
Alone, I wander freely on,
Thus, I am the wandering hermit ...

Contemplation on Lasting and Permanence
What is permanence ? What is lasting ? I think there are many of you who have contemplated on this issue. There are different depths of contemplation on lasting. Some contemplation is very shallow ... as I call...skin deep. Some are very deep contemplation. Some of you hear others or read about articles on lasting and permanence from someone else. Maybe an author, a friend, lecturers, philosophers, religious leaders ...etc. There are some who think deeper into the topic and there are some who just listen and think for a while to check if it is true and then accept it or there are those who merely accept it just because someone said it.
The passing clouds .... seperating and gathering...
Spring to Summer, Autumn to Winter ...
Life and Death , Death and Life ...
Maybe, our true nature is the one that last ?

IdeasBank
Here I am ...back from a long absence from blogging. I am not blogging for the previous months because I have two course projects and a Major Project to handle including a End of Semester exam. That's a lot of stuff to handle and it keeps me busy.
Now the exams and projects are all over and it's a one month or more holiday, I have sufficient time to rant here as and when I wish.
I think I have come out with a new idea for the programming and development communities out there on the internet. Why don't we create an IdeasBank ? It is a database of ideas for programming and development. There are people who run out of ideas on what to program and create and I am one of these people who goes out of idea at the wrong time. With an idea database, you can store inspiriations, ideas and suggestions when the ideas arises and when you need them, all you do is to login and refer and search them. Others can also read through your ideas and use your ideas you posted there if you want but you can also set conditions on who can use your ideas or some sort of access restrictions and terms and conditions on using the ideas so to prevent others from using your ideas if they happen to.
Hmmm...I think this idea is something worthy but I need to find some willing sponsors to sponsor a free web hosting together with a database hosting and Java servlets and JSP page hosting for free as I don't really have the financial resources to get any expansive hostings and the site should be protected from general intrusions and good security too.
I would rant more later :) ...
Now the exams and projects are all over and it's a one month or more holiday, I have sufficient time to rant here as and when I wish.
I think I have come out with a new idea for the programming and development communities out there on the internet. Why don't we create an IdeasBank ? It is a database of ideas for programming and development. There are people who run out of ideas on what to program and create and I am one of these people who goes out of idea at the wrong time. With an idea database, you can store inspiriations, ideas and suggestions when the ideas arises and when you need them, all you do is to login and refer and search them. Others can also read through your ideas and use your ideas you posted there if you want but you can also set conditions on who can use your ideas or some sort of access restrictions and terms and conditions on using the ideas so to prevent others from using your ideas if they happen to.

Earth Healing ?
Sadly to say , as everyone knows , our climates changes , Earth gets polluted by so many irresponsible people and environment change , destruction of animals , habitats ...etc...and in the end ....humans would become pulled into and the blow back would be very had on us . We created all these crap and yes...the blow back is going to be very very great and we are going to regret it ...
Some people think that healing the Earth or becoming aware of the environment now would be going to do the difference and changes and hope for the better. I personally feel that we have already long cross the line of no return and what we are currently doing is but a futile turn back when we have gone to the point where it's hard to return .
Ice caps melting ...global warming increases extremely quickly , the once snowy Himalayas becoming black piles of rocks and soil and mounds....these signs have already been researched by scientists and activist long ago but only in recent years then did the warning start to be taken seriously. It took so long for us to notice all these warning but by the time we noticed ...it's too late . Ice in the artic have already become water and how do you propose to freeze these excess water back to it's original ice so that there would be less water and to make it worse , the temperature is going up . So try freezing the ice back when the temperature is high . Nice try ...but well...no way ....it's just futile effort .
Well ...what I see of the next time is that Earth would send lots and lots of disasters to us and thus sallwoing us back and destroying us (which is exactly what it is doing right now) and in the process , reclaiming and also actually healing itself because when a disaster strike , the Earth is actually doing a self cleansing by removing the toxic away and reprocessing it . It may sound very cruel ... but aren't we more cruel to the Earth and other life forms ? Aren't we more selfish .
I am not advocating people to give up hope , but to understand what when wrong and quickly stop all these tortures to the Earth . She is in very great pain and when she is angry , her wraith is unstoppable . Maybe , healing the Earth combined with very quickly and swiftl stopping all these tortures to Her , would in the end reverse the process of destruction ? Let's not hope it happen ...but rather than hoping ...start doing NOW !

Healing and Computers
I have noticed that many of us , when we return home , especially the teens , we would always switch on our PCs as our routine reaction when we enter our rooms . It seems that many of us have been addicted to the PC and we have to switch it on no matter if we have anything to do or not . How does healing come into the picture ? I have noticed that some people who know healing are quite addicted to the PC and they would forgo their practises to heal themselves even if they are a bit not well . Ok , this above scenario is not always applicable to everyone who knows how to use energy to heal , but to some specific people I shall not mention .
Such laziness is caused directly by the PC and so I would propose a plan where an individual should meditate and do their regular routine and have a break before using the PC or have some sort of a day or a period of time where they have some sort of a retreat from PC or have as little time spent on PC if possible and only use the PC if absolutely needed .
Firstly , this would encourage them to kick PC addiction and also save some power and bills in the process and next , they would be encouraged to uphold their routine of meditation and meditation during retreats like these are good since it makes up for all the rush meditation and times when meditation should be done by either it is not carried out or done half-way . Think of this as some sort of a patch up period for their spirituality and for them to sit down and contemplate . Also , the most important thing about the retreat is to give them that time needed in the hectic material world where the material distractions like the PC have managed to eat into their time for their own self-healing . Individuals should make use of this time of retreat to make-up for the time they need to rest and heal themselves and again , take it as a patch up time where they patch themselves and make up for the time they have missed when they should be repairing themselves .
So overall , the retreat is no other than self-repair and heal themselves and also for them to be more aware and increase their spirituality , give them time to work on their spirituality , for them to seek solace in the hectic life and to find tranquility and also for them to kick the habit of PC addiction and reliance on PC .

Be like Gandalf: Mix with the Hobbits , Dwarves and Elves
So , by reading the title of this post , I guess some of you might catch my meaning and understand , and there are some who would not . What do I mean by 'Be like Gandalf: Mix with the Hobbits , Dwarves and Elves' ? To put into terms that everyone would understand , in the show , The Lord of the Rings , Gandalf is actually a high Spirit (some sort of high level being) , older than the Elves themselves and are the ones who took part in the shaping of the Middle Earth . If you read more about Gandalf , he's acually a Maiar spirit , a helper of the 'Deity' in the Lord of the Rings , Eru Illuvatar . So he is actually far more superior than the Elves themselves but he came down to the Middle Earth in the form of a Wizard and thus , his abilities are being restricted . Although he is a high being , he doesn't show that arrogance and say:" Hey , why should I stoop and help such lowly beings like those elves , hobbits and dwarves ? Why should I ever mix with these fellows and dance and sing and drink and merry make with them ?" He doesn't do that at all . Rather , he enjoy the company of the 'lowly beings' and make merry with them and drink and dance and enjoy .
So , what have all these to do with today's topic ? There are practitioners who have attained a high level of realization in their practise and I know some of them who would have that attitude like "Hmmmmm....why should I stoop low to these silly practise of these lame people ?" Yes , these are reality and saddly , I unfortunately know some practitioners who think overly too highly of themselves and not stoop for a while and enjoy .
So what if you have practice such potent practises and regard the mixing of herbs and potions as mere useless elixirs and the writing of charms as a limited way of magick and speaking of chants and mantras speaking foolish tongues whereas , they , can will power with a single thought and cause the Earth and the spirits to tremor at their powers . Well , sometimes the speaking of incantations , the making of charms , the mixing of herbals and potions , which are regarded lowly to these powerful practitioners , are sometimes , enjoyable and gets you in touch with the beings of the Earth . It's grounding to put it this way . I don't know , it's just a feeling that brings to mind the rainbows and the still lakes , the flowing streams and the night when the mooons are full . The thought of dancing fairies and elves and dwarves ...such enchantment and such sugar like sweetness and such earthliness . Just a thought .
It is such a wonder to be in touch with such .
(No offense of whatever is meant to anyone by this post.)

Unorthodox ?
Ok , what is orthodox methods of practise (energy work , religion , science , philosophy,medicine...) ? If you look at the so called orthodx approach , aren't these orthodx approach , after all ...just an approach to do something ...or maybe , just a more commonly used practised or so called , 'norm' ?
Orthodox is no more than just a label . So what's unorthodox then ? If orthodox is the 'correct' way , then unorthodox is the 'wrong' way ? Nope . It's the dogmatic mindset and the persistant , rigid and stubborness of our limited and unenlightened view that differentiates orthodoxy and herectics .
Essentially , all paths are just paths . There is no orthodxy or unorthodox ways in the beginning . It's when the limited mindset of people , trying to relate to things and events , this is where they start to classify things and start giving labels .
(I don't mean that doing harm to others is encouraged . Contrary , I strongly dislike and disagree on harming of others .)
Although I practise my energy work and spirituality by mixing my experience and what I know and learned together , seldom sticking around and just walking on the path I feel comfortable , many would regard as unorthodox . I would like to defer and say that ...I am just walking my own path ... and that's all .

hypocrites
I personally know of some people , and I shall not name them ... and some of these people are closest to me , these people are hypocritical . On one hand , them advocate morals and values , and on the other hand , they themselves go against what they said and do things against their preachings and rantings .
Hypocrites can appear in any field ranging from office work to belief systems and even some New Age movements . I would not go further into belief systems as it is a touchy topic and I don't wish people getting hurt and I don't want to get into any trouble with anyone .
For people who are looking for masters teaching them in anything , and especially skills of meditation , magick , belief , energy work (including Reiki) ... I should say all fields , beware , there are many hypocrites and I have seen and read more than my fair share of such hypocrites , on one hand , they preach about this and that and on the other hand , they turn their backs and secretly engage in acts against what they had been preaching .
For now , I shall speak till here . I hope readers become more careful about such hypocritical person and are more aware of what's going on around them and not allow hypocrites to fool them .

USB Thumbdrive - A Hassle and Trouble ?
Now a days , as technology improve , so does our devices . Thumbdrives have rapidly reduced in it's size and increased in it's capacity to hold data . Although our devices are getting compacted , it poses us some discomfort in a common way . The discomfort which is so common and so troublesome is the ever increasing cases where people lose their thumbdrives whether is it they plugged into a OC , turned around to do something and someone sneaked away with it , or whether is it a case where thumbdrives are so common and part of our lives and also , thumbdrives have become so small , that we forget to unplug it after work or school and left it behind . When we leave a thumbdrive behind , especially those branded type , it's a big attraction for those who want to steal it and sell for some profits , or who couldn't afford it ...or other cases .
We need a common solution so that such discomfort could be radiacally reduced . Here , I would propose some ideas and I hope some software programmers or companies ... or even large companies like Microsoft , Sun , Apple ... could do something to address this issues .
Let me first chip in some feasible ideas i thought of to improve the 'ugly' situation of losing thumbdrives .

Let me first chip in some feasible ideas i thought of to improve the 'ugly' situation of losing thumbdrives .
- Operating System makers like Microsoft could include a kind of a software in their plug and play feature which would scan the USB ports for storage device and alert the user before shutting down .
- Operating System makers like Microsoft could also include a software in the USB Host , when someone right click on the USB and clicks on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' , after selecting the drive to be removed , a pop-up could remind the user to unplug the device with a voice .
- A software could be written in the thumbdrive which could be always listening if it's going to be detach and would remind the user to remove the thumbdrive .
These are some of my suggestions . More could be done to prevent the lost of thumbdrives...although thumbdrives are getting cheaper ...but the personal data can be very valuable in it . No matter what software you write to guard the contents , there are always to by-pass it . It's best to prevent than to cure ... So , the prevention is to ensure people would not be so careless with their thumbdrives and to treat such a portable and handy device as a piece of themselves ... so they would not want to loose it again .

Python GUI
This morning , I have nothing much to do and I decide to explore how Python GUI wasw done . I had been using Python programming language for nearly half a year a year ago for my Operating System course . The Python language seems to be faster and easier than other languages as long as you know the concept and know the basic programming concepts . I have been doing Python and all the 'println' code which is the command prompt kind of input where you have to type your inputs in but this time , I wanted to learn the GUI format . It seems that I only took some research and some hands-on experiment and finally , I created a GUI version of a desktop URL browser launcher where you type in a url in the GUI console and click 'ok' and it opens a default browser and goes to the desired site .
Altogether it only took some what 1 hour to understand some basics and to create the web browser launher . It was some what pretty quick .
Anyway , that web launcher maybe upgraded to handle basic Google Search ...lol .
This is all I want to say for today . Blessings .
