Weekly Notes 49/2025
Welcome to the last month of the year. 2025 seems to be getting over quickly. Work for me has been hectic. I have been busy. I think it will be until the end of the year. Hopefully, next month will be better.
- Wrote a blog post about my ride to Kuppalli. It’s a picture-heavy blog post. You have been warned. It was a good ride. I really enjoyed the route and company. I also uploaded a bunch of images of Kavi Shaila and Kavi Mane to Wikimedia Commons. There is also a map view of these contributions.
- Uma has started developing a sense of self (ego). So now, for almost everything, first she says “no”, and everything is about “me” or “baby”.
- Cold weather continues in Bengaluru. I know winter is here, but even for winter it’s cold.
- I am back to workouts at Steps. I couldn’t play this week. But I got to spend some time on the treadmill for cardio outside Steps, which was good.
- Uma likes to draw at least a couple of times a week. I have not drawn things in a long time. I found these simple line drawings by Shihor, which are fun to draw with Uma. Add her to my blogring as well.
- Netflix, which helped create screencasting (then called DIAL), is silently killing it. With Amazon, Hotstar, etc., inserting advertisements, I think we are entering an era of the end of streaming services. MatterCast on top of Matter looks interesting, but it’s a long way to go before it reaches all home devices. If you like 2600, you will like PagedOut, a free online magazine about programming and hacking. If you are a Bangalorean (ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗ), then the K100 waterway project could be of interest to you. You may prefer to watch a video.
