Basket Case: New & Old

http://abhaga.blogspot.com/2014/01/new-old.html

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about. - John von Neumann. Wednesday, January 1. Almost 10 years ago I started this blog. At 273 posts, it amounts to 1 post every 2 weeks. I can't think of any other habit that survived that long with that consistency. Of course, just like all statistics, this hides more than it reveals. For the past 3 years, I have written 7, 7, and 5 posts respectively. Welcome 2014. Hope we will have a good time. Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

Basket Case: April 2013

http://abhaga.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about. - John von Neumann. Tuesday, April 9. शहर के फूल. छोड़ कर शाख क्यों सड़कों पे चले आते हैं,. फूल मासूम हैं, नाहक ही सज़ा पाते हैं।. स्याह पड़ती हुई इस शहर की बेनूर शकल,. रंग दो पल को झलकते हैं, गुज़र जाते हैं।. भागते दौड़ते इस शहर के कुछ वाशिंदे,. साल भर फरवरी की याद में बिताते हैं।. फूल इंसान की उम्मीद के सितारे हैं,. आँख उठती है दुआ में, तो नज़र आते हैं।.

Basket Case: March 2011

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about. - John von Neumann. Monday, March 28. हार कर उठने की क्षमता अब नहीं मुझ में रही,. वो ह्रदय की मधुर ममता अब नहीं मुझमे रही. अब तो मैं संसार के वारों से होकर छिन्न-भिन्न,. बन गया हूँ रूद्र हिंसक आर्तनादी नरपशु. अब मेरी सब इन्द्रियां रक्षा में मेरी व्यस्त हैं. मधुर गुंजन मधुप का गांडीव की टंकार है. दामिनी का दमकना अब युद्ध की ललकार है,. Links to this post. Thursday, March 17. The Saga of Static IP. After realizing that we ...

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about. - John von Neumann. Thursday, August 11. Technical Goals for 2011: Mid Year Review. Although we are already 2 months past the middle of the year, I decided to do a "mid year" review of my technical goals for this year to see how am I doing. Here we go:. HAML, SAAS & Coffeescript. SproutCore & BackBone.js. I realized that "finishing" beautiful code is not the right way to approach it. I read it one chapter at a time ...

Basket Case: The Impostor and Impostors

http://abhaga.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-impostor-and-impostors.html

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about. - John von Neumann. Thursday, April 17. The Impostor and Impostors. I am not a registered voter in Bangalore. There I said it. I am sitting here diddling my thumb as others around me go and elect their government. Nobody seemed particularly engaging or worth choosing. Whomever I voted for, seemed like a compromise. The choice was an illusion. Did she think they should remain in house to be safe? Even if you support a mo...

On the Nature of Knowledge | Srivani's blog

https://srivani.wordpress.com/2008/11/17/on-the-nature-of-knowledge

On the Nature of Knowledge. These were the thoughts I had penned down a long time back after watching this outstanding movie Solaris by Andrei Tarkovsky). Today, I watched Solaris. It raises questions about the nature and limits of knowledge, something that I had thought about for a long time now. We see and understand everything on the basis of the knowledge we already possess. No matter what we think – it always seem to come back to the concept of numbers.

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about. - John von Neumann. Tuesday, July 29. Travails of a Lazy Kannada Learner. Old Kannada inscription dated 981 CE. In Vindyagiri hill at Shravanabelagola". Without knowing the script, he cannot read the newspaper which is a good cheap source of plenty of reading material. Reading the newspaper in a language also provides a good sense of the environment in which the language operates, allowing one to connect with the pu...

Basket Case: January 2011

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about. - John von Neumann. Saturday, January 1. The Technical Resolutions for 2011. When running you own company, every year is full of new challenges and learnings. And so was the 2010. However looking back, I am feeling that I didn't gain so much on the technical side. HAML, SAAS and CoffeeScript. Explore SproutCore, Backbone.js. Learn Haskell - write a non-trivial application in it. Since I started learning Python last year...

Basket Case: May 2011

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about. - John von Neumann. Tuesday, May 10. The saga of plain text password. Recently, one of the major Indian payment gateways, CCAvenue was reported to have been hacked. Medianama has good coverage. Of it including an interview with the very bureaucratic sounding CEO of the company. Has a good little primer about things to read. This is my attempt to clarify some of the things involved. On to the specific questions. Basicall...
