A Marriage Story

            My husband is an Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature, and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.

           Three years of courtship and now, two years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.

   I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings, I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband, is my complete opposite, his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about love.

One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.

Know if someone is hacking your computer/ Trace a Hacker

Want to know if someone is hacking your computer? Command Prompt can help you find if someone you don't know is connected to your computer stealing private data. Just execute netstat -a and the command prompt will return a list of computers that your computer is connected to. In the results returned, Proto column gives the type of data transmission taking place (TCP or UDP) , Local address column gives the port with which your computer is connected to an external computer and the Foreign Address column gives the external computer you are connected to along with the port being used for the connection. State gives the state of the connection (whether a connection is actually established, or waiting for transmission or is “Timed Out”).

Creating a ZigBee Smart Energy Device with the MSP430F54xx and the CC2530-ZNP (ZigBee Pro Network Processor)

The paper describes how to create a ZigBee Smart Energy Device using the MSP430F54xx as the host application processor to the CC2530-ZNP (ZigBee Pro Network Processor). The physical interface between the MSP430 and the CC2530-ZNP is discussed, as well as the software application framework used to drive the CC2530-ZNP. This paper assumes that the reader is familiar with basic ZigBee concepts and terminology.

The CC2530-ZNP contains the core ZigBee Pro stack and exposes API interfaces to the host processor for configuration of the stack and data transfer. In the sample application installer that is provided by TI, these APIs are abstracted by an application framework called the ZAP (ZigBee Application Processor) framework, which makes it easy for an application developer to write sophisticated ZigBee Smart Energy applications, among others (e.g., Home Automation and manufacturer-specific profiles). TI has provided an extensive framework to make application development easy and thus re-use of this application framework is highly encouraged. However, for application developers that choose to use the CC2530-ZNP but still want to build their application framework from the ground up, the ZigBee Smart Energy sample application suite serves as great reference code of how to interface with the CC2530-ZNP.

Online Resources

Have you ever wondered that there are a lot of virtual resources available on the internet? The present age is an age of ‘CLOUD’. No need to have own pc, no need to buy a software and no need to install it, if you want to work with it. Without having all the above (PC, software and installation) you can get the things done. Yes! Its 100 % true. Here are some examples.

1.  To give a presentation you need to have Microsoft office and a pen drive to carry it. But using the CLOUD resources like GOOGLE DRIVE and SKY DRIVE (from Microsoft) you can do it online and store it in the cloud. You can access the doc from anywhere and at any time, provided you have an account.
2. Sometimes we want to test a circuit or suppose we want to know the working of a circuit, we need to buy all the components and test it physically. And a small change/ damage to any component will lead to faulty results. But using some software you can do it virtually and get the results. But the software needed may be too costly and you need to pay a lot to get access to it.  How about having a virtual software that doesn’t require any buying and installation but still serves our needs?  Isn’t it a great thought? Of course someone like you and me had thought about it before us and came up with a new ONLINE CIRCUITSIMULATOR

FPGAs 'vs.' ASICs Basic Idea

FPGAs 'vs.' ASICs - Basic Idea

The debate on FPGAs vs ASICs has been around for quite a while now, but not without a good reason. The choice could have a significant bearing on the success of your product.
    What you will find below is one opinion of this long in vogue debate, by Vijayakumar Regupathi and Manisha Mankar,  architects - digitaldesign, at Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions.

We will hold our jump into the debate, in order to first define the two entities to be discussed. The Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer or a designer after manufacturing—hence the "field-programmable" prefix. On the other hand, an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is an integrated circuit customized for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use. FPGAs and ASICs can both be configured using the Hardware Description Language (HDL), and most logic functions that an ASIC can perform, can be implemented in an FPGA as well.

How did it all begin?
A little bit on the background will help to set the context for our discussion. In the bygone era, IP routers were, by a great extent,
