It’s been a long time since my last post. My posts are especially large and boring for readers and writer (me). I started few posts and they are still pending. Maybe this is the time I shorten my posts to post them regularly.
This post is about usage of personal computers. I always think computers are underused by most of the people (including me). I have seen people using one application at a time. If they want music they don’t use anything else, listen to song and switch back to application needed, which most of the time is browser.
I monitored my own usage of system at office for one month. Apparently I use less than 10% of my system’s memory on an average, except for few peaks of usage when Windows gets stuck.
In the process I monitored how much time spend on various application. I spend more than half of my time browsing, more than half of it is on RSS feeds and in the rest of the time major time spent is on Facebook. Windows Media Player usage is almost 100% (almost all the time).
Almost a Time Table
1) Start music (Background)
2) Login into OUTLOOK (company email),Gmail in browser(not using outlook as I need chat & buzz), Skype (+Facebook) (Background)
3) Look for RSS news feeds on outlook - Browse through feeds (priority 1)
4) Update sticky notes with TODOs (priority 2)
5) Start eclipse – for job’s sake (dynamic priority )
6) Write blog posts if there are any pending (priority 3)
7) Check downloads on Bit Torrent (optionally)
In more free time:
1) Organize files, especially on Desktop– at least dumping all files in one folder
2) Change password base –Changing passwords time to time
3) Add new RSS feeds – Best way to avoid remember visiting all the interesting sites
4) Check for new music – Grooveshark is better for trying out new songs, downloading them all is waste of time/network and hard to organize them all
5) Update Windows, antivirus
My practices on my personal system are completely different from my system in office.
