If I click on a link, I am initiating an action. If I fill in a form and press a submit button, I am initiating an action. But if I move my mouse over a page element, I am not initiating an action. Chances are I’m on my way to initiating an action (like clicking a link or pressing a button) but if I brush past a link on the way, that does not mean that I want something to happen in response.

With complete backup done, all notes / serials and documents organised, life seems so relaxed. I will now work on my other resolutions for this year that include achieving a high end security certification, write one research paper, one article in leading technology magazine, cover as many states in India and plan a trip to Europe. Other resolutions such as look after my health, quit junk food and exercise daily are left for the next year.
