Saw this line in Orkut's Today's fortune section : Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.
An aha moment; guess want to say how appropriate, without giving too much away:)
On a different note though, over time have noticed Orkut's fortune section to have lines that immediately connect. Just wondering how this is generated, whether there is a kind of engine or whether it is a person(or team)? Whatever it is, is pretty effective feature, for am not a heavy Orkut user, but have logged on many times just to catch the Today's fortune section. Also have had similar thought been expressed by some of my friends. Given that make or break for a social network is stickablity with users, guess if this what gets people in the network to log on, it is great.
No? Maybe?
Any readers who have similar experience with Orkut? Also similar feature or application seen on Facebook?
Me back to work, on my game,charged up.
In movie, Last Samurai, Tom Cruise, after having been captured, has his first meeting with Samurai King. In this encounter, a few words are exchanged, like their individual names, but nothing of significance. However a certain tension between between captor and captive, between two warriors of different motivations, seems to ease. A simple exchange of words breaks through barriers of culture and context, connecting two humans. "It has been a good conversation", concludes Samurai king, smiling

Start Me Up
Okie so this is not a Windows* launch advert from over 14 years ago, nor has it anything to do with Rolling Stones song of the same name/title.
Just a small post, almost a note from myself of now to future self, of this process of changing gears, shifting priorities, setting of new goals and different directions.
From what can make out till now, it happens in phases, this 'conversion' if u will, from being an 'employee' to being a 'business owner'. Now just in case fore going words give a wrong impression, i'll say its fun, with surprises aplenty, and things in a state of (constant?) flux. And that is what attracted one in the first place, right? Yup. Totally bored of doing the same thing over and over, caught in a straight jacket, blocked from trying new things, doing it differently.
Well so here i am, researching stuff, making plans, figuring out finances, checking out competition, bringing up my daughter, wondering at what is happening to current generation of youth, and yes writing this, all at the same time and from comfort of my home.
Guess this is phase 0, a 'First Creation', where everything is in head, and anything looks possible.
Yo to that.
*Windows 95 launching in August of that year used the said song for its TV commercial
