What people I don’t know and 3 million miles away say about my baby. And I was so mean.
Sniff. Sniff.
Update: Oh so obvious site update. Report blatant flaws here.

Oh my god. Yesterday was one of the most funnest days I have had in ages. Yes, obviously my standards aren’t too high, but they’re all I care about. And yes, “no work” and fun are synonymous.
While idling most (no actually, all) of the morning (and afternoon and early evening and …) and catching up [...]

Today was one of the most unproductive days I have had in ages.
Slept in. I mean beyond late. Woke at 10:30 or some such? I don’t remember. I just remember feeling all nice and fresh. Sleep is good. Lots of sleep is better.
Spoke to my parents after a long time. (Where ‘long’ is measured in [...]

I read random stuff each day. Usually it’s just normal and not terribly insightful or exciting or useful or any such thing. But once in a while, I run into articles that REALLY stand out. This article on “Structured Procrastination” by Prof. John Perry for instance. It’s a perfect description of how I get things [...]

I usually don�t feel. I am quite cold. I am apathetic to events around me. I don�t get terribly excited or depressed or angered or anything by anything.
Usually.
For all my �engineering knowledge� and general life experience (It�s not a lot, I just said, �for all my�, conveniently hand waving my way through to making it [...]

I’m sad right now. It’s technology’s fault. Technology is evil.

Riding back up to north campus, I was continually greeted to the strong aroma of coffee. And then, as I attempted to use my bag as a cushion/pillow, I realized, it was me. My clothes, my bag, my hair. Looking at my watch, I realized I had spent some 5 hours at a coffee shop, [...]

Oh my god. I’m almost in tears. (In a moved, happy sort of way). This group that performed at the end of the conference banquet, the Amazing Blue, sung extremely well. I’m usually like the the filthy critic when it comes to commenting about (other) singers, but these people were just so awesome. They were [...]

(If you’re seeing this and wondering what’s the cause of this blog weirdness, there is none. It is me. This was typed in at a later time and suitably time stamp modded and inserted in this place. Though I finished typing it after the banquet blog, this is where it belongs, chronologically.)
Finally got around to [...]

Here I am, tralla lalla laaa’ing my way down to the uni (to finish up (start) some stuff on the now much talked about talk) when I ran into one of my neighbours. Apparently, she had observed my curious behaviour yesterday as I was taking Bug’s eye view.
And by curious behaviour, I mean lying down [...]

Gah! I just realized I’m almost THIRTY.
Yes, 7-8 years is not a really long period of time.

I realized I hadn’t updated the picture page in a while. So rather than idle while doing some mundanely choresey stuff (no, not preparing for talks) like laundry, I decided to take a few pictures of all the colour outside. Uploaded a few to the picture page. My favourite in this set is, “Fall, a [...]

Well, I guess I lied. There were no “frequent updates”. There however, has been an update to the picture page. It will have to do.

Thinking about my ‘not entirely high energy’ state for a while, I decided to try some stuff out. Probably it was malnutrition (aww), probably it was lack of sleep (aww), or probably I just needed to get my mind off stuff and go ahead and do something out of the ordinary. Probably it was a [...]

I am not doing too much. Rather, I feel I am doing a lot and nothing’s getting done. This week has been one of exceptionally low efficiency. I’ve been continuously “busy” and tired, and I can’t look back and see what was really achieved. Except of course, some FEAP stuff involving different platforms and different [...]
