How to productively procrastinate...
Only recently, I had written about a good flowchart to decide about procrastinating right away and hot on its heels, I came across this audio guide about being a productive procrastinator. Seriously, don't think of doing this later, just click here and click the Listen Now option and become a structured procrastinator right away. So what is my take on it? I will get around to listening to it first, and then comment about it :-) [via]
My dreams... fade away... so quickly...
People tell me if I have a dream, I should follow it... but then the dreams fade by the time I get down the stairs in my house... so wonder I am not achieving anything :D from xkcd comics

Best pecimen for a Turing Test
The Daily WTF is a website dedicated to giving a daily dose of what not to do in the IT field and life, in general... and though most of the posts are intriguing, this one simply takes the cake... A conversation between a HR lady at a company and a newly hired guy who was self employed before...
HR Lady: Can I have the phone number of the consulting company where you worked for the past 6 years?
New Hire Guy: I was self employed. I am the owner and sole employee of the consulting company and I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
HR Lady: No, I need to call to verify!
New Hire Guy: ...But you'll just be calling me.
HR Lady: I have to call — what's the number?
New Hire Guy: The number of the office is [my cell number].
(note: I'm standing 2 feet directly in front of her. She dials the phone and I answer.)
HR Lady: Hello — this is Paula from Initrode Global, calling in reference to Snoofle's employment.
New Hire Guy: (both into the cell phone and to her): I know, I'm standing right in front of you.
Her (into the phone): Could you please verify the dates of Snoofle's employment at VirtuDyne, Intelligenuity and Initech?
New Hire Guy: (reading from my résumé that is laying on her desk in front of her): VirtuDyne: a1 to b1, Intelligenuity: a2 to b2, and Initech: a3 to b3.
HR Lady: Great, thank you! *click*
New Hire Guy: (directly to her): ...Did you not notice that you were talking to me right here in front of you?
HR Lady: I know, but I have to call to check these things.
Sometimes you wish delusions last forever...
We all have been deluded one time or other, and being a single nerd takes it to a whole new level... I had once discussed the concept of dating a girl to provide her tech support (though it actually never happened to me in life) and was not at all surprised when such a sequence appeared in the Dilbert strips recently... here they are for your viewing pleasure...
