I do confess that i really like this photo and style of the vehicle. Looks somewhat wicked. Yes, it costs me 1,500+ rupees a day.

This is meant to be a caustic observation on the quality and type of posts on LinkedIn. I consider LinkedIn to be the ultimate narcissistic, pseudo humble boasting and fake content of all websites i have visited - which to be fair is not much.  The only reason i maintain an account on it is to see some technical developments. The latest posting trend to arouse my ire are the ones posted by

 A Whimsical Purchase and a ride mapThe BackgroundRather late in life, the courage to buy and ride a two wheeler came. Most males, i think are fascinated by moving machines of some kind. Being no exception, i bought an automatic scooter. However, that was nice for a while and reasonable kudos to the TVS motor company. However, for a few years i have been observing the advent of the Honda

 Anyone who has been reading my infrequest blog posts will not be surprised by the extreme levels of the contempt and disgust i have for fakers - especially the corprorate fat cats. Two things - fake humility and boasting both are annoying. There is a word for fake humility - which i forget. Examples abound in that useless platform (suitable for narcissists) called LinkedIn - "humbled to be

 It is very well known that a large part of the modern proportion of the software industry is built on open source software; i do not know how much of it is really on stolen software. Of all the industries, the software industry is the greediest - licenses are getting more and more cost sucking. to draw a parallel, how would it be if these software cfo had to pay for every turn of the wheel

For many years i have been facing this simple problem. I download a lot of PDFs; usually they are papers, electronic academic books in the PDF format and the life. There may have been a few non academic content, such as fiction. Earlier I used to categorise them while saving them on the local storage. As an aside, this local storage is the hard disk but this can also be a network drive which is
