You’ve heard that many times, haven’t you? However, do you understand its essence?
Many think it’s all about being perfect. Believe me, if you aim for perfection, you will realistically never reach it.
We can’t pour in unlimited resource into something. We can’t spend all of our time on one specific thing. Look at Chess. You need a lot of time to think, but you still have a time limit.
Understand what the time limit of your task is. And put your full efforts and dedication to the task during this little “time limit,” and more if possible.
In short, do a task not because it has to be done, but because you want to do it.
In the end, if you’re satisfied with your efforts (not just the results), then you’re on the right track.

Every student geek who first learns algorithms wants to create the next big “complex” thing. We all think that more is better.
Software with more features, more settings, more customizations and more of everything else you can ever imagine.
However, the latest trend is about less being more.

WordPress started out as a simple blogging platform. Nowadays, it competes with other leading CMSes. All the credit goes to it’s continual improvement over time, a dedicated community supporting it, and the endless stream for plugins to make practically everything possible.
Anytime anyone thinks of creating a website, WordPress comes to mind.
However, WordPress is not everything. No, I’m not talking about using any other CMS instead of WordPress. The point is, why use a CMS when one is not required? [Read more →]

One of the coolest thing to do with a guitar (regardless of your level of play) is to jam along with others. Now, not all of us are members of a band.
If you try playing the guitar alone, it may seem dull. Now, let’s boost up your enthusiasm and level of fun.
While playing any song, there is one little important thing that makes the song lively… beats.

When you start learning guitar, you’re excited. You may have a favorite artist. You’d want to play like him.
You might even have a favorite solo you might want to ultimately play. However, this path has a lot of roadblocks. That’s why many people starting out with guitar give up easily. It’s because they realize they can never play like their favorite stars, or so do they think.

I’ve been writing about mystery parties in this blogs. However, I believe visitors are often confused by the different categories of posts they find in this blog. It’s easier to find all the mystery stuff on a dedicated site, which I’ve mentioned below.
This site is called, well, Mystery Party Scripts. Apart from scripts, it has some good articles on hosting, visiting and actively participating in a mystery party.
Since most of you might want the list of scripts, here’s some quick links to them: Mystery Scripts for Kids, and Mystery Scripts for Adults.
Enjoy!

I’m glad that you want to learn guitar. It’s a wonderful instrument. Imagine playing guitar for your friends and family. It’s really a nice experience. Also, I’ve read many a times that playing guitar (or any other musical instrument) helps relax yourself.
Now, learning guitar takes time and effort. However, if you learn to enjoy the learning process, you’d make good progress. There are times when you’d learn something fast, or sometimes, you’d get stuck on something for a long time. Never give up! That’s why you should NEVER compare your progress with someone else’s.
All right, let’s begin. Below is the Table of Contents for this article. You can jump to a section of your choice or read this post from top to bottom (recommended).

All right, you’re all tuned in for learning guitar. And you’ve probably decided to buy some sort of systematic courseware rather than learning random things on the internet. Good decision.
I bought Jamorama quite a while back (the old version.) That time, Jamorama Maestro was used to surf through the Jamorama course, which enabled easy playing of supplementary videos. However, in the new version, Maestro seems to be obsolete.
One day, I went to the Jamorama website to find a completely new design. That’s when I realised they’ve made Jamorama even better.
Now, onto the review…

PPC is the next big thing. PPC is synonimous to advertising online. It’s the only effective thing, many claim.
Gurus from all over the world claim banner advertising is dead. Their explanation is very cunningly satisfying. “Do you ever click on banner ads?”, they ask you. “Nah, who even looks at them? Clicking them is far from the picture…”, you say to yourself mentally.
The magic has happened, and you’ve been convinced that banner adveritisig is prehistoric (in Internet time, that’s the late 90s or early 2000s.)
