Inane ramblings of a wandering mind. I have merged the contents of this blog with my web-site. Be updating this blog any more. Towards the end of the year 2010, Anusha and I went for a couple of day-trips to places near Bangalore. The first trip was to Balmuri and Yedmuri falls, along with a visit to Brindavan Gardens. The second trip was to Belur. While we drove to the former set of destinations ourselves, we opted for a KSTDC. Bus-tour for the latter. Links to This Post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Inane ramblings of a wandering mind. I have merged the contents of this blog with my web-site. Be updating this blog any more. ICFP Programming Contest 2010. As has become customary for me, I participated in the annual ICFP programming contest. This weekend. I participated as a lone coder this time with the team name "rmathew". The contest this year was irritating and frustrating, not to mention quite humbling (as usual). Which boils down to:. LO = (LI - RI 3) mod 3. RO = (LI * RI 2) mod 3. The nice stru...

Inane ramblings of a wandering mind. I have merged the contents of this blog with my web-site. Be updating this blog any more. LCD monitor good enough to replace my old CRT monitor and I had to ultimately settle for a less-than-perfect replacement LCD monitor. LCD monitors are an instance of technological progress giving us something that isn't better than what it replaces (CRT monitors) in all. Panels and the quite noticeable degradation in display-quality as you look at them from a little to the side o...

Feel a little faster than its predecessor, though it's definitely not as snappy as Chrome. I should note that this is how Firefox 3.0 and 3.5 also felt at the time of their release, only to not feel that fast as time wore on and we received successive security and stability updates. I wonder why. While a multi-pr...

Suppose you take on a loan for P.

Inane ramblings of a wandering mind. I have merged the contents of this blog with my web-site. Be updating this blog any more. Like many people, I like watching films for entertainment. Unfortunately for me, it seems that the film industry is hell-bent on making this as difficult as possible. They have succeeded to a large extent - I now watch far fewer films than I used to a little over a decade ago.

Inane ramblings of a wandering mind. I have merged the contents of this blog with my web-site. Be updating this blog any more. A couple of holidays declared in the middle of last week afforded one of those rare opportunities where you apply for just three days leave and end up with a nine-day vacation. We spent most of this vacation on the beautiful island of Mauritius. Clean beaches with white sand next to a turquoise-blue sea - what more does one need for a perfect vacation? Nothing much, it turns out.
