Turn it off !

Not sure how many of you have watched the latest "Turn it off" campaign in the media. It says to turn off everything that will save energy when not in use. TV, light, fan, vehicles in signals etc., A good add on will be the computer monitor. Its the one that takes the major portion of the power when the computer is on and its a very very common practice to leave the monitors on! If you are a software professional or in your college computer lab, just look around you and the chances are you will definitely see atleast one unused computer monitor ON. When u r not using it, PLEASE switch off the monitor. Very little effort, huge savings. The next time you take a break, do switch off your monitor.

Save energy for a bright future. Black-outs are fun/romantic at times, not always !!

Block it !

Good to see the blogspot site accessible again! The block on some of the very widely used blog sites had caused quite a flurry in the indian blogosphere. With protests in the papers and wiki's, blogs have certainly become a source of expression nowadays. A restriction is being seen as a denial of basic freedom. How things have changed!!

But with all the hype and hoopla around, I was relatively immune to the complete episode. Blogs have not yet become a very integral part of me. I hope I can get a bit more involved in the blogosphere in future. A ban of this proposition will hopefully have an effect on me too!!
