I started it in December. The first 28 were completed in 34 days. The last two took almost two months. Though I would like to credit this delay to work becoming hectic, it’s mostly me not being able to prioritize. The work is still hectic, but I can take out 20 mins and...
I have been teaching a course at APU that includes Bash scripting. I have a love-hate relationship with Bash. It’s a weird combination of a programming language and an iterative CLI. It’s confusing, easy to make mistakes, and hard to debug, but on the other hand, it’s available on almost all systems. It...
Work has been hectic. But I can see the end, which is good, I think. Also, my orthodontic work is coming to an end. I should be free of steel cables in my mouth in three months.
ನಿತ್ಯಾನಂದ ಬಿ ಶೆಟ್ಟಿಯವರ ‘ಅಳವು ಅರಿಯದ ಭಾಷೆ’ ಪುಸ್ತಕಕ್ಕೆ ಇಸ್ಮಾಯಿಲ್ ಅವರು “ಕೇಡಿನ ಭಾಷೆಯೇ ಆಡುಭಾಷೆಯಾದಾಗ…” ಲೇಖನದ ಮೂಲಕ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯಿಸಿದ್ಡಾರೆ. ಸಮಯ ಸಿಕ್ಕಾಗ ಓದಿ. ಆ ಲೇಖನದ ಈ ಎರಡು ಪ್ಯಾರಾಗಳು ನನ್ನ ಮನದಲ್ಲಿ ಉಳಿದಿವೆ. ಆ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕರಾವಳಿಯಿಂದ ಪ್ರಕಟವಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಸುದ್ದಿ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ‘ಅನ್ಯಮತೀಯ’ ಎಂಬ ಪದ ಈಗ ಕನ್ನಡ ನಾಡಿನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮಗಳಲ್ಲೂ ನಿತ್ಯವೆಂಬಂತೆ ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ‘ಅನ್ಯ’ರಲ್ಲಿರುವುದು ಯಾರೆಂದು ಈಗ ವಿವರಿಸಬೇಕಾದ ಅಗತ್ಯವೂ ಇಲ್ಲದಷ್ಟೂ ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ....
We wanted to check whether we can ride for long hours if required. Also, just to check our physical condition. To do this, we had to ride a loop around Bangalore, covering different types of roads and elevations in a day, and at least 600 km. We had an idea of the route,...
The work has been hectic. I actually don’t like hectic mode. I prefer being prepared and doing planned activities. But I do understand that not all real-world things can be planned, so one will feel stressed about time. I think it’s going to be like this till the end of March. So at...
Uma loves singing. Recently, she has been humming ಬಾನ ದಾರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸೂರ್ಯ ಜಾರಿಹೋದ. I wanted to create a karaoke version of it.
