How do you do ?!
We friends met at a coffee shop recently. The conversation went on something like this…
All of it. Filled with cholesterol. We ate Dark Chocolate and Apple Pie

What makes a read interesting ?
I had to share this little post from my favorite Scott Adam’s Blog. He Wrote and I pasted here…
“The hardest part about writing is capturing your own inner thoughts. For example, if I ask you to tell me something funny or frustrating about your job, you’d give me tales of coworkers eating your food from the break room fridge, or tell me your boss is incompetent. But those aren’t thoughts, just observations. We seem to store memories in terms of actions and some broad emotions, but not thoughts. And it is the thoughts you generally don’t voice that make writing interesting.”
I get into this split whenever I want to post. What makes a read interesting ? An opinion, a thought, an observation, a bare fact….!?

Did you see my mobile ?
Am quite forgetful these days. Missing birthdays, day of the week, misplacing keys, rushing to meeting at last minutes are quite common. Not that I was doing better earlier, but things have worsened in past few months. I am beginning to think if am contracting Alzheimer. But a sigh of relief after reading the warning signs of Alzheimer’s.
I thought I found a good excuse but no, I am still normal, it’s just a age-related memory lapse.
Did you say something ??-

I remember reading brain prioritizes the information’s to be stored. The priority might be low for these information’s.

May be you are right. Brain is just ignoring these little things as insignificant. That tells me that am onto bigger things ?!

I agree with anon… absent-minded-ness is the first criteria of a genius. You know, the mad-scientist stereotype!!
Waiting for the next great bang theory…

My Dream car for the Blind
I met two boys from Tamilnadu. They gave me a ride to MG road in their self-designed car. On the way I kept thinking how they could drive on the road. Because that car did not have a transparent glass pane in the front.
Bizarre ? This is the dream I woke up with this morning. Just sat down to put that car on the paper. I later figured out that such a car could actually be used by blind people. Heights ?

MB and Mbps confusion
For those looking for answers to MB and Mbps confusion, I created this graphic. In fact I had another post sometime back.
Do you realise…that my fingers are itching and getting desperate to put my Graphic tablet to some good use. Need fresh ideas for illustrations. -

Understanding IPSec/IKE Phase 1
IPSec/Ike is a difficult-to-grasp security protocol. Because it is one protocol which does many things. Authenticates, encrypts and establishes a secure tunnel.
I have been trying to get a understading of message exchanges between the initiator (eg: mobile) and responder (eg: security gateway) before the tunnel is established. In the most simplified form this is how it looks. Six message exchanges, logically separated.
It’s a three two-way exchanges between the initiator and receiver.
- First exchange—The algorithms and hashes used are agreed upon in matching IKE SAs in each peer.
- Second exchange—This exchange uses a Diffie-Hellman exchange to agree upon a shared key. Diffie-Hellman is not an encryption algorithm but an algorithm for establishing a shared key over an unsecured medium.
- Third exchange—This exchange verifies the other side’s identity. The identity value is the IPSec peer’s IP address in encrypted form.
The main outcome of the whole exchange is matching IKE SAs between peers to provide a protected pipe for subsequent exchanges between the peers.
The IKE SA specifies values for the IKE exchange: the authentication method used, the encryption and hash algorithms, the Diffie-Hellman group used, the lifetime of the IKE SA in seconds, and the shared secret key values for the encryption algorithms.
