Linux the Future - Yippe I Will Eventually Have a Job

With the economy uncertain and Microsoft Vista failing to gain overwhelming acceptance, many IT departments are considering a migration to Linux. Reference

I don’t know when it will be, but its coming quick. The simple reason that companies need to pay for WIndows product will lead to abandonment. Why pay for products when you can get the same work done for free. Linux is clearly the solution, and with rapidly developing systems such as Ubuntu, there is no reason in the near future to continue to pay the large license requirements of Microsoft products.

Ubuntu has faster security updates than Windows, and is substantially at less risk to infection and spyware. Right now Linux implementation seems to be a no brainer, but corporation are stubborn and are hanging on to the tail of a dying elephant. Windows products are paid for by corporations because there is an underlying notion that paying for a product gets better support; but this metholodoly is quickly failing. Open source product have the benifit of millions of eyes to fix bugs, and make improvements. Open source will produce superior products by all means, and all that is needed is a little more time for the status quo of Open Source products to reach the stability and reliability requirements of enterprise applications. For servers Apache is the status quo; open source. For desktops Microsoft still reigns because the software requirements are much more daugnting. With projects broken down substantially, such as Gnome, and KDE desktop environments the development of independently stable applications is inevitable.

Wireless Electricity - What Tesla Started

Started over 100 years ago by Nikola Tesla, the concept of transmitting electricity wirelessly is catching on fast. The dominant player is intel, but smaller companies such as Wild Charge prove that there is something substantive and viable making the recharging of devices easier and more convenient. While Wild Charge does not transmit energy wireless it does substantially simplify the recharging process.

Resonant inductance can sync magnetic fields in such a way that power apparently flows, or jumps, empty space. Based on the fundamental properties of inductors and magnetic fields devices that require recharging will not require a direct connection to draw power. A rechargeable device can be situated nearby the power source, and without a wired connection can successfully draw enough energy to recharge the device.

Tesla was a big dreamer and envisioned this type of technology transmitting energy all over the world. He wanted to sync the Earth’s magnetic field with devices; now thats big. Without a doubt he was ahead of his time, and there were and are definitely effects on biological systems. The extend that genetic, and molecular damage can occur is unclear, but without a doubt the concent originated by Tesla is effective at transmitting energy wirelessly.

What if your Dream is Impossible to Achieve?

Where should the line be drawn between dreaming and and being delusional? How long should someone wait before realizing a dream is impossible? How long should someone try to attain a dream before realizing time is being wasted?

Sometimes I have a great sense of unease contemplating these topics. I have dreams, big ideas that I would like to achieve. Are they reasonable? They are indeed rational and possible, but are they likely? I don’t know. They are definitely not going to happen right now. I will have to wait, but waiting is not easy, and it continuously breaks off pieces of your soul.

What is peace of mind? What does it feel like? Is it that feeling when you just wake up in the morning? Is it excitement? I find life strange. I don’t think there is purpose to life; although its obvious that people can assign a fabricated purpose to it. Assigning purpose is a means of justifying desires and ones existence. If a person has no purpose, and there is no reason to exist that definitely leads to depression. Having a purpose is exciting, but achieving your designated purpose is not always instantaneous; and waiting is frustrating.

I guess a lot of how I feel is because of the economic meltdown in the US. I basically graduated college and the US job market evaporated leaving little opportunity to achieve big things. Basically the job market is in survival mode, meaning that if you can bring in 20-30K per year you are lucky. Minimum wage jobs are even hard to find!

What Can I do? Why is it so Tough? Options, What Options?

There are millions of people in America with millions of dollars that do not appreciate what they have. They waste money on large homes, stuff, items, and cosas. Its simply incredible and nauseating at the same time. I wish I had the opportunity to achieve such a level of wealth, and can assure that the opportunity would not be wasted. I would save and not run debt. I would create and not only consume. I would produce and not destroy. I would provide and not take. I would help and not only receive. I would strive and not just be. I crave accomplishment and I cannot achieve; my current employment is incredible soul destructive. I am making no progress, not a single step. I save peanuts, a little bit of money. I completely understand that savings, what so ever, is more than most Americans can do; but I have always consumed less than I want. Wants are irrelevant, and needs are few. Never surmounting your needs there will always be leftovers to save. But saving a little bit of money is useless; and will not lead to philanthropic liberty.  Without a gross accumulation of money it is impossible to achieve the freedom to be a philanthropist.

What options are available? What decisions can be made to take a different path in life? What else can be done other than going to college? Is is pure luck to be a successful entrepreneur? Is employment the maximum potential achievable? Even making 100k per year does not result in philanthropic freedom.

I break it down in my mind like this. Making a small amount of money allows you to live and not perish. Making anywhere in between, up to hundreds of thousands and millions allows people to be completely selfish, consume, patronize, ect…. It takes such a gross amount of money to become a philanthropist. Is it wrong to want to be a philanthropist? Is it wrong to be the opposite of selfish, and want to help other people? Is it wrong to think of other people more than yourself?

What is the path to success? What is success? Success is obviously defined subjectively, but in general objective success involves making progress of some sort. I dream of achieve my subjective success, but I cannot even achieve a modicum of objective success; I feel like I am making zero progress. I’ll say something like this to my father and he will say writing this blog post I am actually making progress, and I shouldn’t feel this way. But I do feel this way, and his subjective opinion that I am making progress does not satisfy this unachievable craving I feel to make something, or do something, or achieve something. I can definitely say it is a strong feeling of unease. I do not believe its anxiety because I do sleep and can relax. But always in the back of my mind is a sense of frustration, which is bordering on dam near failure.

How Tough to be With Your Boss

It completely depends on how much leverage you have. If you perform a service that absolutely, undeniably cannot be replaced by someone else then you have the most leverage possible. I will elaborate on my current situation in that I provide computer services to a company that pays be $12.50 per hour. I can basically do a lot for them in that I can make web servers (Windows, and Linux) as well as graphics design, (x)html coding, the integration of fancy javascripts and a slew of other services; no way in a million years they will find another tech savvy Engineer to work here for this salary. There were two employees previous to me Emil was first, and he wanted 30$ per hour to do a fraction of the work that I am currently doing. I saw a document on the companies computer that detailed what he was going to do for that particular salary; wow. Then came Mike, I’ve heard that he was not very good and various things; ie. slow ect… I don’t know weather he was fired or not, but his salary was definitely company to my current salary. Although I doubt that he has a college degree and nearly the functionality that I provide to the company.

I am just documenting in my blog how I feel about the services I provide my current employer, considering the salary of receive in return. Its a joke. When I worked as an intern on the Williamsburg Bridge there was a computer tech guy sitting in the office all day long. He did absolutely nothing. He waited for people to have tech problems, which was rare; otherwise he was relaxing all day long. I have no doubt that his salary was relatively tremendous as compared to my current salary. he was probably receiving well over 20$ per hour, and since it was for a Engineering consulting firm he was most definitely receiving health and other benefits. My situation is a joke compared to this, being that I provide services that are on a whole other level. There are people receiving hundred if not thousands of dollars per day for website design, and management; this is what I provide this company. And that’s just for design, and management. Graphics design is a whole other level, and they receive thousands for quality time intensive work. What about the catalogs of hundreds of pages that I work on for the company. I finished on catalog that is over 140 pages, and started another that will be more. I am so sick of doing such work for such pay that I do not intend to finish the second catalog.

Google Adsense Profit - LOL

Dare I write a post about this topic. Google Adsense profits, is there such a thing. Is it possible. There are over 500 posts of original content in this blog, is it a money maker? I won’t give a direct answer, but the answer is implied. It is obvious, and intuitive how to be a success; thousands of pages, thousands if not millions of pageviews, and a 1% clickthrough rate. How many people have achieved this? How many people have written thousands of blog entries? How many people receive millions of hits per day? This blog has excellent Google indexing primarily because I deal with Linux topics and there are relatively few Linux focused blogs that are SEO optimized. I get the speciality clicks where someone is searching Google for something in particular. This crowd that I am attracting is internet and computer savvy and they are most likley not going to click on a stupid Google ad. What can be done to change this? I ask because the answer is not clear, and I do not know. I would like to change this situation; while I do like maintaining my blog to provide free applicable and pertinent information to the Linux community, it does not bring in a substantial income.

I have an Electrical Engineering degree. The US technological economy is dead, especially in New York. There are basically no high paying jobs with benifits, and there are also few regular minimum wage jobs. It cannot just be my luck, there has to be other people in a comparable situation. Right about now I would like to make some money online. Without saying how much I was making a couple of months ago, I would like to return to those numbers; and god if you listen to people talking on the internet can I return to those number and maybe more
