Learning should be a continuous process. We never stop till we die. I have a few topics that I am very well conversant with. Those topics that I deem myself well worthy to be called an expert but I am shy so I don't. However, whenever I learn something new I get so excited. My experience in school was amazing, not because of the friends I made but because of the books I got to read at times. You see, my friends remained constant, but the learning, meeh! that was something. It changed every day. one day I am learning about flower parts, then parts of a bean, how to grow plants, have I mentioned the day they introduced me to computers?
My father always called me "engineer" tweaking his radios, watches, and repairing water pipes (this always went so bad). So my first day in front of a computer is damn memorable. It was love at first sight. Suddenly that childhood dream to become a police or doctor got revised. I wanted to work with one of those. And that I did.
To cut this long story short, I will continue it another day.
Today we had a discussion in one of my tech group of something that I have totally assumed.
Have you ever been in a situation where you think you know something for a fact only to be proven wrong? I have a love and hate relationships for that kind of moment.
Today's lesson or learning point was very simple.
FUN FACT: Do you know the '.' in your google email doesn't count?
If you have an email john.doe@gmail.com it is exactly the same as johndoe@gmail.com.
You should have seen my face when I realized I have been shouting or telling people not to forget that dot for no reason at all. 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲.
This does not work for all emails though. But if you have a gmail account the dot makes no difference.
Surprised ? Go try it out and see. Send an email from another email skipping the dot. Tell me what happens.
