Poem: Goodbye My Dear Friend

I’m not good in writing poems but I decided to write this one today (23.02.16) dedicated to my former teacher, mentor, toastmasters coach and a special friend, late Mr. Jun Pasilabban.

Goodbye – My Dear Friend

Written by Picky Airi

Morning tea today

Wasn’t like any other day

Why switch to Windows 10? Why not open source?

While it is good to have Windows 10, I doubt the stability of this OS. I have used Windows 8 and 10 only recently on one of my machines and its (Windows 10) lack of stability is really an issue for me unlike the experience on Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1. And based on tech forums and articles I'm reading, I am not alone. Example here

Although Windows 7 has been granted a 2 year extension on the shelf  (Microsoft's sales life cycle), the move has been on snail pace for many users from Windows 7 to Windows 10. 

Another one of those must have tools for the "eTeacher"

As a teacher who relies heavily on ebooks as reading resources and reference material for students, I download a lot of ebooks from the internet. One problem I have come across is how do I split the PDF to extract only the pages I want to give the students and leave out the rest.

Rather than copying the entire chapter and pasting to word which I used to do before I decided to do some googling to find out if there is an app that can split the PDF and give me just what I want. (This feature is built into adobe pdf but you will have to register to use it which I couldn't.)
