Its HIGH voltage, I play with it ....

Service Engineering ... Thats what I do now. More precisely, a kinda reverse engineering. Identifying the faulty component and replacing it with a new. Sound quiet easy huh ? But guys ... .this is the damn-est job u can find in electronic industry.

yesterday I received one specimen with a small note on it. "No ip" - it means its dead. Its not working. I started working with standard procedure.

AC mains circuit - Continuity tested, No shortage. Next AC Filter circuit - its little weird, I'll check it later... Next Bridge rectifier - No burns or smoke trace. IGBT and gate circuit - Nothing wrong. uC - tested. Buses and cables continuity tested.

After 1 hour I cant find anything wrong with this thing. I assembled and switched on... Nothing. I cant even find any smell of burned component. I was like ...grrr. ' whats wrong with this thing. I was sure fault will be in the High voltage section. After the bridge to the GATE. I took and Hold the PCB one hand and took the tester and touched it somewhere on the lids. @@## FLASH ##@@

"Hey wake up ... Dont u need lunch today ?? " My friend is calling me. 'What happened ! Where in a world ..... ' "Its not good to sleep in duty time. U'll get scolding" - He advised me and walked to the door. I was still in confusion. I looked watch and its 1 o'clock. I looked my table and I just started to realise what happened.

I touched a fully charged capacitor. Since its a capacitor and dont have any amps it cant do any physical damage to victim. U'll be just blacked out. The same principle is used in stun-guns.

Anyway that was a nice piece of experience.

American Continental Airlines SUCKS !

YES... Americans sucks sometime.

This is pathetic. If this is the case of former president of India, as a poor citizen of India, what guarantee do I have that I'll not be forced to stand naked and asked to bend over for a security check ? Those days are not too far fellow Indians.

Indian laws exempt dignitaries like former presidents, ex-PMs, Chief Justice of India and even Robert Vadra from being frisked at airports.

"As Kalam was about to board his flight to New York around 10pm, he was put through ladder point security under which the former President was frisked completely. He was also asked to take off his shoes, despite accompanying CISF personnel protesting to the airline staff that Kalam was an ex-President and exempt from such checks. While the airline did not budge, the unassuming Kalam went through the process without any fuss. " --- Indiatimes

For me this is not just a protocol violation. More than just a humiliation.

Its great.. they apologised !

"“We have tendered a formal apology and we sincerely hope he will fly with us again,” Continental Airlines said in a statement.

“Our intention was never to offend Dr Kalam or the sentiments of the people of India,” the airline said. “We apologise to Dr Kalam for any misunderstanding and/or inconvenience caused related to the security check,” it added.

“We reiterate our commitment to comply with the regulations mandated by local authorities (Bureau of Civil Aviation Security) and US authorities,” the airline said. --- Indiatimes.

WHO NEEDS YOUR FUCKING APOLOGIES. U PEOPLE DIS-OWED THE VALUE OF THE WORD APOLOGY.
NOW WHAT ...?

REMEMBER.. ........So shall u reap.! Not every Indian is duff and dump.

Guy1: Forget mine, let us look for yours.

Engg method of Handling situation.

A Programmer and an Engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The Programmer persists and explains that the game is real easy and a lotta fun. He explains "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $5." Again, the Engineer politely declines and tries to get to sleep.

The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $50!" This catches the Engineer's attention, and he sees no end to this torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the game. The Programmer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The Engineer doesn't say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the Programmer.

Now, it's the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer
"What goes up hill with three legs, and comes down on four?"
The Programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. He taps into the Airphone with his modem and searches the net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to his co-workers -- all to no avail.

After about an hour, he wakes the Engineer and hands him $50. The Engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep. The Programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the Engineer and asks "Well, so what's the answer?"

Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the Programmer $5, and turns away to get back to sleep.

Words & Pics of Life !

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played
