Wifi and this blog

I have posted entries from this blog from many sources. In the
beginibgg it was cyber cages of chennai, then came the reliance r
world facility, then I posted from mobile phone then gradated to a PC
again. After this leveled up to a laptop and now I have shifted to my
iPod touch. I am uising it as my primary writing device. Withe the
onbuilt wifi capabilities I am thinking of by passing my limited
Internet connection.

I am out of India now so for a week or two I will adjusting the posts
and they won't be as ordered and regular.

Have you found Free magazines?

A few posts back i posted about how to use this blog effectively. I don't know about i fired up my browser and tried few combinations to see what i'll get from the blog and this try brought me couple of blog entries that i did regarding free aerospace magazine on net. It also landed me to the post that points to an online ansys magazine.

Want to see the links?

Here it is http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=magazine+free

my experiments showed me this links once again. What have you found? Do try!

Next week

Next week my circumstances, my environment will have a drastic makeover. I don't know if i'll have any internet connection, so this is just a warning post to let you know that in the next week i'll have some hard time to post. I'll definely write the post offline and post them when i get a chance. Ok then till that time you enjoy the ipl!

Well this new circumstance and situation will be a new experience for me and i hope i'll have some new fresh respective to share with you.

Keeping reminders

When i was studying for aesi, making time tables was easy, setting time for study was easy, putting in the time also came along. But many a times i missed the goals i set, the tasks i assigned, I felt bad about it latter but it was always that some immediate new thing of some different nature that distracted me. Be it a new movie release or a juicy controversy that emerged from gie.

After a long struggle i discovered that many a times i simply failed to do my tasks because i forgot about them, i never realised i had to do it at that time. The main reason for me was that the constant new distractions overflowed on my task list.

So what's the takeaway message?

Keep reminders. Reminders of your goal. Yes it a simple step but makes a lot of difference if implemented. For my present goal of writing one blog post everyday, i have set my own reminders. Every time i stare at this mobile from which i am writing this post, i see the calendar to do item. Further more, after brushing this is the first thing i do. This two simple techniques has kept me on track of this goal. You can apply this to your own goals.

If your goal is to master catia or nastran, then resolved to practise it first thing that you do when you boot up your system. If studying a subject is your goal, then every morning set 30 mins to study that subject. Make it the first thing that you do in your day.

So you got the idea. So now get going and implement.

Criticism is easy

I was reading a blog, where the person argues about critics and criticism. He says criticism is easy, making and doing stuff is difficult. Critics are abound and doers are thin. So i wondered what my readers are? Are you a doer or critic? Tell me.

Be a doer if you can!

Experiments and tutorials

There are two ways of learning. By experiments or by tutorials?

One involves reading everything about the subject and beinging to do the tutorials and the other approach is getting a basic idea and jump into an experiments.

As you might have realised i follow and vote for the experiment approach. It works for me. Without settling down on theories. I get the basics of what can get me started and jump into the tool to conduct my own experiments.

With the new fem software that i was introduced, i got so many supporting documents. If i had read them line by line and everything, not only would i have made the progress that i have made so far but also would have stuck somewhere because of the jargon. So mine technique was read or browse quickly. Get the basic idea of the steps involved and then begin your own experiments.

For the fem software, i began by modelling a 2d plate, meshning it, applying force and getting the cool coloured contour profile. Learning and experimenting with one feature at a time.

So if you find yourself not making progress in your own tool learning, then try experiments. The cool thing about experiments is they always teach you. Even if they fail, they give you insight of the process. So experiment!

Want to Stay updated on AeSI’s website

Avionics is the hottest stream in terms of job opportunities

Avionics is the least mentioned stream of this blog, but right now seeing the trend its the hottest stream in terms of job opportunities.

What's good about avionics stream of aesi is that when you opt for it, you lay a foundation on a path that you want to follow in future. Aero-mechanical stream and other streams are there but what avionics offers is a track that you can utilise for skills development.

When you opt for this stream, you are sure you have to have knowledge of c. So learning c and having an interest in electronics for you becomes a must.

The path for a fulfilling career means that if you want to be good in this field you need to have this skills. You need to love embedded systems, you should love electronics. You craze about the controls and semi conductors.

So you get it. The opportunities make it hot but its your passion in the above mentioned stuff that will make it great for you.

Someone said, follow your passion. This is what will fuel all the abundance that you desire!!!

Embrace your limits

As regular reader of this blog will know, my mobile is dead and i have little access to net. This has put a limit to the kind of post i can post here in this blog. It cannot be bigger than the text field of my old mobile. The links are not coming correctly and i have no control over the formats.

But this limits has given rise to some unexpected benefits, like now i post whatever i have in my mind. Previously i thought writing just a small post on the link for aerospace news was a waste but i did it in my last post. Another benefit it has done is that i got so many small posts ideas that i'll share with you in some of the up coming posts.

Yes i do miss the big posting and writing from my laptop but till this limits are there i'll continue to enjoy them. So what are the limits that you are facing right now, why not take advantage of them, why not turn them to something positive. So embrace your limits
