I think there would be a little bit improvement in my English( I hope so LOL), its obvious because am in UK now. I find it worth coming here to study about User eXperience Engineering (UXE).

I was always desired to study about interesting stuff and voila UXE is very interesting. I find it very challenging especially when it comes to learn about Users who use the system (whatever system from consumer product to computer applications), because people are really different and their perception differs from each other. But there is always few common things across every human regardless of people who are little bit exceptional in few cases. This sound really weird or obvious . For instance, there are musics which everyone likes (e.g those which gets maximum hits on youtube) and few exceptional people say “that music sucks” , people are different across the world in culture, languages, or whatever. But what makes that music so popular or viral ? (You could guess lots of examples for viral musics – “why this kolaveri ?? ” LOL ) there would be something special about the music, either the music which gets people pumped up(happens across the culture) or the lyrics of the music(people who knows that language) is at its best or both together. It is all exiting when I think about these ! It is quiet interesting to learn about what makes people love things, give them satisfaction , they feel the specialty of the thing, hold strong in the memory, sentimental touch , or whatever that make people comfortable.  Apart from these, there are few other stuff like safety , security, ergonomics, usability, simplicity ,how things are easier to understand, easy to follow and so on. There are many other things like methods to do research , get data about users, how to analyse them ,measure them, design , graphics, etc. All together I can call User Experience Engineering.

However, there are several myth about UXE, people usually misunderstand that it is all about designing UI for the applications. But this is just a small component of UXE, there is lot more including the stuff which I said above.

I am still in IT field, not shifted to any biological stream nor geographical stream to make this post. I realize something wrong happening everyday , every minute and of course every second , everywhere. There is something called Homo Sapiens ,which is a biological term for Humans, that is , ‘we humans’ literally killing this earth. It is well known that population across the world increasing rapidly. This earth is 4.54 billion years old, it took so much of time for life to come on earth. Plants came 475 billions years ago, it took so much of time for this. Like that one by one, things came on earth NATURALLY and SLOWLY! but , now , very fast , faster than these things appeared (especially plants),  are getting destroyed artificially everyday. Not only plants, even  animals, the atmosphere, and so on. For example, I take Bangalore , I been to Bangalore when I was kid, that time when we go bangalore we feel like we are going to an hill station , a place were we can enjoy at parks, and green everywhere. But now , there is a rapid change, IT is growing one side (well that is really good. people like me got job here ! we earn money !!) and environment is getting destroyed another end, more people , more the traffic, cutting of trees to broaden the road, making flyover, building up the metro train project, due to that so much of congestion in traffic, vehicles move inch by inch by spitting and sneezing CO2 through their silencer. All these things, are making me to fear about the future. It is really difficult to stop. I read in some news article that people who are all working for making flyovers most of them get oral cancer!! This is true..surf in Google typing “pollution in Bangalore” ( am sorry , lost the link where I read about this news , probably in “THE HINDU” I think). Anyway, In Bangalore itself this much pollution and what about Chennai , Delhi, Mumbai , Kolkatta , and other major cities around the world? It is a slow(Very fast compared to age of this earth) poison to this Earth. Not only pollution , people killing the animals like devils, that sucks the green environment more faster and faster.

There are so many organisations like greenpeace trying to make awareness for this, but still its like trying to make the sea to get sweet by pouring a bag of sugar on it. Whatever, check out these videos and links , it may tell you something more than my blabbers here.

Air pollution

Global Warming.

Animal Agriculture

Water shortage.

as well as see this Meat the truth

Greenpeace inspiring action.. How many of you are aware???? they hardly trying..

Well, pollution and green environment in one side, Hunger and terrorism the other side and in the middle rich getting richer and poor getting poor. What a world! Money is reason for all this, isn’t it ?

Oops, today I blabbered too much , don’t think me got mad.. Trying to figure out the truth. This is what really happening.

Finally , I stepped in to the corporate world , my track totally changing to something beyond my skills, well, the corporate pushed me to software testing.  However, testing and finding bugs (Job of criticising and blaming the developers) suits me too. Hope I can overcome with that. still, I don’t wish to keep my design skills out from my mind. it is still there, going to continue my design works in another track parallel to my corporate life.

Blabbering.. to be continued…

Well, I am going to start blabber about myself soon .. anyway , There is a corporate environment in my path now ( “Enter the Vikku ” ) , going to join Wipro next week as a student , yes , they call us as WASIAN, because it is Wipro WASE program, an superb scheme that help B.Sc and BCA students for their awesome future.

“The WASE program is a pioneering initiative in the field of higher education in India. It offers B.Sc, BCA and BCM students the opportunity to immediately take up an MS course in Computer Science without having to complete an engineering degree after graduation. Students gain invaluable industry exposure and develop their technical skills by working on live projects on weekdays for the duration of the course.”

well , my blah blah starts from now , I am waiting eagerly to taste the corporate world , I am going to learn and experience many things , will share everything in this blog ( no matter who reads it ).

Hankering for an SSD that’s as big as your traditional HDD? So is Intel, or so we hear. In fact, we’ve been hearing whispers that a capacious 320GB solid state drive was in the works since January, and now those whispers have been upgraded to library-like voices. According to the generally reliable Golum, Intel’s so-called Postville SSD family is well on its way to reality, and with them should come much needed price drops. The new series should top out at 320GB, with an 80GB and 160GB version falling underneath. Word on the street has it that both of the smaller two will be around $100 cheaper than the same-sized X25-M drives, though there’s been no leaks on the 320GB model’s MSRP. Still, Intel has a golden opportunity here if it’ll just get these things to market — a cheap(er) SSD with a brand name like Intel could blow the solid state market wide open.
