A Hacking Day
I look outside at the gloomy rain clouds. Strains of ambient forlorn music echoes in my ears. On one side of the laptop rests my mouse and smartphone. On the other, an empty coffee mug. And such the scene is set. I type these words. Today tingles with anticipation. The anticipation of work done, task…

Linux… the Future of Computing
I’m a Linux user. So I always like to strain my ear to hear news about Linux. But this I didn’t expect. Caroline and I did a bit of computer shopping before going to watch a film together on Saturday. While we wandered the aisles in the nearby Futureshop, she turned and asked me what…

Weekends in Toronto, Weekdays on the Run
The sun is way up in the sky, already changed its colour four times (red, orange, yellow and now whitish yellow thanks to atmospheric effects on the light of a Class G star). I on the other hand, woke up, scrambled to get ready, drank a coffee and am trying to catch up. My life…

Running Along the Mirror’s Edge
I apologize for not posting anything yesterday. For once I could not write anything useful, incitiful or positive. So I decided not to write. Or rather my inaction made it so I didn’t. Today is different. Emotions now ran their course. Tranquility. This morning I decided to try something different. I bought a copy of…

Your Shipment of Fail Has Arrived
Today I am producing and delivery shipments of fail. Late, missing meetings, missing the point, having to reschedule due to my perception of time (or the lack of more accurately) et cetera. I have exceeded my expectations of how absent minded one can be. So apologies to everyone. Today is not going according to any…

The Challenging Trek Ahead
For lack of a better use of time before work starts, I am blogging. Or rather I am trying to wake up and be alert for the day ahead. Coffee helped revive some of dead nerves. Writing hopefully will get me thinking in a coherent fashion. I have to do this because I have a…

Looking Forward, Looking Back
I’ve blogging for a while now. This particular site and setup doesn’t suggest that I’ve been blogging since 2005. Of course nowadays, I blog more often than I did then. But the fact remains. I noticed this because when I imported my old Blogger blog to WordPress, I did a messy job of importing my…

Hitting the Ground Running
Before I left for my leave, I left a bunch of thing half-done. I also had planned tasks too. But I never got around to doing them earlier. Life’s twists and turns surprise you and throw all your carefully laid plans to the wayside. Now I’m back, I can get back to them. Time to…

Back in Toronto, Back to Blogging
Yesterday I landed in Toronto. I’m home again. Back to the normal and ordinary. But even as the airplane hit the tarmack, I knew things will never be quite the same. The things I experienced, saw, heard and understood during my short stay in Europe, has changed my perspective, attitude and expectations. I won’t go…

Parting with the Somber
I changed the theme for the blog again. Back to the nice calm, natural feel that I so very much enjoy. Also I am parting from the somber mood. Maybe this is a bit premature. Maybe not. But I can’t help it… I want to bounce back to my cheery, crazy self again. Maybe I…
