My Digital Online Diary

I just wonder why most people who commit adultery are men. Well, I thought it’s just out of the norms. But, I learned that they feel less guilt than women. So, having an affair with another woman is just a simple thing to do since they feel less guilt. Hmmm…

Recent research comes to show that men actually feel less guilty than they should. Conducted at the University of the Basque Country in Spain by Itziar Etxebarria, the study shows that middle-aged women (aged 40 to 50, to be more precise) are the most prone to feeling exaggeratedly guilty. At the opposite pole are men between 25 and 33 who were described, following the study, as the least sensitive of all age groups. The solution to finding a middle way that is successful for both groups consists of employing educational practices and a “range of socializing agents,” researchers say. Read more… »

Looking from the outside, our house is just as boring box as it could be. The plain white paint and the glass window don’t help at all. We thought about having it repainted with a little color just to give excitement to it. Then, give the window a little touch of life through window flower boxes. Red, violet and yellow flowers are perfect combination for my little window garden.

First, I must look for the perfect window box that fits the window. The category ranges from vinyl, wooden, metal and fiberglass. That is a lot to choose from, but that is just the beginning. After which, I now have to choose the best design and color. I have to be very careful in selecting as I want to add some zest and not just additional bulky boring item.

The good thing about having an internet connection is that I found a lot of garden window boxes in just one sitting. It saves me a lot of time. Plus, I can order any time I want whether it be night or day that if I already found the plant box I like.

However, for now I am still in the process of choosing as well as researching the right measuring tools used. I don’t want very big nor too small boxes. It is essential that I get it right.

Why do we need water softener? That is the question that bugs me every time I encounter the product. The water provider says that our tap water is safe. For that matter I truly exert a little effort to find the answer just to get rid of the question.

Thanks to the internet, it’s not difficult to find the answer I am looking for. So, here it goes.

Water softener provides better tasting soft water, free of dissolved magnesium or calcium. These compounds are good to us only at when taken at lower levels. Other than that it also benefits the washing machine as soft water clean clothing better since the mineral deposits are eliminated. Fabrics last longer and whites stay white without the dingy gray caused by hard water.

Also, bathing becomes more effective and the soap lathers better as a result hair and skin feels softer. Plus, there is no need to worry about scum builds up on shower heads, faucets, drains and more.

Well, those are just few of the obvious water softener benefits. For sure there are more if I dig more information. But, that would be another story.

According to the latest news, the group behind the world’s most popular smartphone operating system – Symbian – is giving away “billions of dollars” worth of code for free. The Symbian Foundation’s announced that it would make its code open source in 2008 and has now completed the move. This means that any organization or individual can now use and modify the platform’s underlying source code “for any purpose”. “This is the largest open source migration effort ever,” Lee Williams of the Symbian Foundation stated.

They believe that the move will attract new developers to work on the system and help speed up the pace of improvements. This might increase rate of evolution and increase the rate of innovation of the platform.

Ian Fogg, principal analyst at Forrester research, said the move was about Symbian “transitioning from one business model to another” as well as trying to gain “momentum and mindshare” for software that had been overshadowed by the release of Apple’s iPhone and Google Android operating system.
