Does it happen to you too?
I have this habit of learning various seemingly irrelevant things. And the funny part is, whenever I learn a new thing there comes a chance to use it! It started long time ago. But I noticed it after studying Group Theory. The day I finished the book, there came this mail about finding the modulus for an interesting hash function. And 'tat-ta' here comes group theory!
Now, the sad part of the story lies elsewhere. Sometime, without any earthly reason I pick up some book (If you don't count 'fun' as an earthly reason), start reading it, and then just stop reading! Again for no reason. And inevitably there comes this situation where it is almost essential to know what that book said!
These days I am encountering the second situation frequently. I have this book on DFT for one month now and I have just gone through the introductory chapter where they say all the good thing you can do with DFTs but I just didn't go thrugh it. Now here came a chance to use som2 DFT, but I am not ready!
Again, and again....
I wish I could kick myself.
So here's a new vow:
"I will not put down another book that I pick up for fun, unless I reach the end flap"
