I can't stop playing games with software.....

Tools and software makes me crazy!!! I do really have soft corner for the software and their usage...
I always tried (& keep trying) to become a techno-wizard.
Now, IT profession has be forefront with the latest technology trends and software updates. One can enhance their skill by practicing on a Tool.
Once Einstein quoted that if a person spend 10000 hour of on one subject then he/she becomes specialist on it.
However, as in the case of Technical Writers most of us have to wear many hats of tools and software, and give their best in the crunch of deadlines. Even a person working in a single tool for many years, how many has explored all the available features. The fact is that, we keep doing the same task if there is no requirement or scope is within the boundary.
Sometime, mastering the similar tools simultaneously is difficult.

It is always challenging to work on multiple platform and technology. I put my hat off to those who do multi-tasking. In IT industry, we go ahead with a slogan as “Just to it”.
