A container for all my views with excerpts from technology, travel, films, books, kannada, friends and other interests. I am Thejesh GN, friends call me Thej.
This post is my 67th blog this year—the highest number of blogs in a year since 2009. I can only see it growing as I move away from social media. Currently, I use Twitter and Instagram, but my usage has reduced drastically due to blogging here and @thej@social.thej.in. I don’t remember when I logged into Facebook. So, all in all good.
After 15+ years of using Twitter, I am moving to a self-hosted, federated ActivityPub-based microblog. Too many buzzwords? They all mean something and something concrete. From now on, Twitter will be secondary, and the primary post will be on @thej@social.thej.in. If you are on Mastadon or any other ActivityPub compatible server, search for @thej@social.thej.in and follow me. I intend to follow everyone back in the initial period.
Sanchaya had organized an event around the release of Karnata F Kittel Font. I got to attend it. Some of his grand-grand kids were at the event. The amount of love I saw for Kittel amazed me. Kittel has a special place in every Kannadigas heart and mind.
It looks like I have injured myself. It seems like an RSI. Nothing to worry about; I met the doctor, who advised me of the remedies. The good thing is we found out early; it’s minor and complete recovery is possible.
It’s Kannada Rajyotsava week. I have been unable to work on Nithya Kannada for a long time. I hope to contribute in other ways; how about a bot that sends a Kannada word daily? It could be helpful to even Kannada native speakers. Let me know.
