Computers —
A few days back, I was lazily browsing the net - when suddenly I discovered that I have Schizophrenia.

Ever since I had a monitor, I wanted another. Its true that I bought three other monitors after I bought my first one - but I bought the rest of the computer along with them. So I never had a chance to have two monitors for myself. That is until this Saturday.
I just bought a [...]
As I said in the last post, I now have six sites. But having six sites is not enough - it must have content. To pressurize myself to create the content, I have created another site - BinnyVA.com.

I have been meaning to by “The Mythical Man-Month” by Frederick P Brooks for some time now. Yesterday, I read a post on how to be a better programmer which recommended this book. That was the tipping point for me. Today, I went to Ernakulam and bought this book.
I bought it from “Computer Book Store” [...]
