    • In Favor of: Digident Solutions July 2, 2009
      First of all, I want to take the opportunity to thank my friend who mentioned my name in one of the pings on the right side :). I'm not sure if it was a criticism or a compliment, anyway, whatever it was, I accept and welcome it :) Secondly, I'd like to say a few things about DigiDent Solutions as it is DigiDent Solutions and not Digident Solutions […]

    • Against: Digital Juice June 28, 2009
      The Juicer software is some of the worst software I have ever used. A simple file for a composite that should take a minute to copy off the disc takes 30 minutes to render and ends up being 5 times larger than the original. New product has thousands of project files and source animation but all proprietary format. Takes up twice the space and render time an […]

    • In Favor of: Avenir Technology June 24, 2009
      I'm surprised by all the negative energy here! To me the organization is the most rewarding yet but of course I can't discredit other people's experiences. For me it was a very positive and pleasant learning experience. I'm going to miss everyone at Avenir so much!
    • In Favor of: Ticketmaster June 22, 2009
      I use to work for ticket master customer service, Ticket Master doesnt charge 50% more per order, They charge very little actually for the service they provide. If I remember right usually $2.30 cents per order. NOW what most dont grasp is Ticket Master HAS to charge extra for certain places, but thats because the place your attending the show charges that, […]

The Internet Addict: Yes, It’s Me!

Posted on January 9, 2008 by Qurratulain Akhtar

This post of mine has nothing to do with business, education or any other thing. It’s just my personal concern that I want to go under off topic. Probably it’s not that personal as it’s the case with many people who spend much of there time online. Online nature of work and my academic requirements have made me internet addicted. According to some rough stats I spend 13 to 15 hours a day on internet.

 I think I can browse internet and spend my time here up to three continuous days even without food, J. One of the reasons for so can be the availability of each and everything here, i.e. even printer ink can be found online. Well, this is not only my case, but many of my friends who use to remain online for 24/7. Once a member at grand CSS Forum has also commented for me that he wonders how do I M Possible, Muskan and me manage being available there for 24/7. Though some of my responsibilities have been shifted and m’ not that much active there now a days, but soon I’ll be back there. I’m really missing the hot discussions there.

 This entire scenario attracts me a lot, and I really enjoy both my work and studies. I wonder, I won’t have been able to manage all this if it all would have been offline. And being internet geek, I expect some online food system soon. Let’s see if we can have such!

    not a good thing to be online so much, one starts to lose touch with the real world in all this virtualness.
