That little project has been going well

Around 2 months ago, I wrote a blog post about a little project that I had been working on. That has been going well. I've been surprisingly engaged with it and finding time after my day job to work on it. While progress is slower than I would have liked, I am happy that it …

Wanting something without knowing what

It's quiet right now. I'm alone in the house and there is nothing to separate me from the quiet. There's no message, no call, no email from anyone. Just me, the background of the city, and my thoughts. There's a lot to do. There are plans by me, for me. I have them documented in …

My conclusions about the point of life…

...(at this stage in my life) TLDR: The point of life in our limited span of intelligence and consciousness is to live meaningfully.

Too many holidays in the week of the actual Independence Day meant that our over-enthusiastic HR decided to host the events on the next week. The day of the function was Appreciation Day where …

AltGrrrrr!

Quite a few laptops have the AltGr key on the right side of the keyboard. I always used to think that is just the Alt key. But today I found out something weird and also got the answer to a longstanding "weird behavior" I have observed on Windows. Pressing the AltGr activates Alt key being …

Re-Pi-t

A couple of months back I purchased a Raspberry Pi 3B+. It's a nifty little computing system, good enough for a lot of experimentation and interesting projects. I love that it is not power hungry but at the same time, an entire computer system on it's own powerful enough to rival even some major desktop …

The stupidest possible mistake while creating a tmux config file

I made the silliest possible mistake while creating my custom tmux config. What was it? The hint is in the last word of the first sentence of this excerpt.
