Weekly Notes 16/2026
It feels like a long, tiring week because it’s been a busy one, or most probably because of getting back to regular life after vacation, or because Bengaluru has been hot this week. Anyway, its been a busy and hectic week.
- Uma started playing football this week. She is just getting used to it. I am still not sure if she loves it. But she likes going out, running around with friends. Football is a good way to do it.
- I have been working on NMG applications. We should have results on 22nd. I am late by a week this year.
- I started my regular gym sessions. This week, there were two sessions with my trainer and one on my own. I also played a game of pickleball. I am looking for more players living in and around me so that I can play at least twice a week. But I can only play when Uma is asleep, so it has to be either before 7 in the morning or after 7 in the evening. It’s not easy to find partners.
- We have a beehive on our balcony now :)
- I want to do a long ride on the NX500, at least a day ride of 200+ Km. RoyalBrothers, where I usually rent bikes, used to have it, but they don’t seem to anymore. Could you suggest any other place where I can hire it? Also, if you own one, can you ping me? I would like to talk to you.
- I used to host on MediaTemple, which later got acquired by GoDaddy. Two years ago, they also moved the platform to GoDaddy. Overall, it’s been okay, though pricey. In the last six months, they have been working on performance ( I know because it has improved, and I can also see they use Cloudflare CDN), but it’s been breaking my media hosting. often. The recent one is my GPX files, they have been serving it with the wrong content-type. So most of my GPX maps are broken as of now. I will have to think about it now.
- I think it’s fun to act like an AI bot for a while and chat with humans. If you are a ollama user, you might want to know this.
