Yuvi

Keeping a running list of things I want to learn!

I’m attempting to now blog at http://words.yuvi.in, using hugo rather than wordpress.

I ran into this thought provoking though when randomly attempting to relax this weekend.

I went to the protests at SFO last weekend.

I’ve unfollowed everyone I follow on Twitter, and am slowly starting back up from scratch.

I’ve started taking a Coursera class on Conflicts from UCI.

Note: I’m trying to spend time explicitly writing random side projects that are not related to what I’m actively working on as my main project in some form.

I’ve recently started reading more academic papers, and thought it’d be useful to write notes about them and publish them as I go along!

http://www.lua.org/spe.html is a pretty nice read!

localhost is always 127.0.0.1, right?

Clearly I missed an entire week.

Probably going to take it easy and chill.

Today looks like a day of finding, reporting and fixing bugs in WikiChatter.

Haven’t done these in a while, let’s see if I can get this back on the wagon!

I’m writing this post in an attempt to catalog the list of things I own so I can evaluate if I really need them and get rid of them. 15″ rMBP Kinesis Keyboard Apple Trackpad Moto X Kindle Nexus 7 (To be returned to the WMF) Broken Nexus 4 (To be backed up…

“Green Stuff” TIL that Gregory Kohs was actually allowed to post on wikimedia-l at some point in the past.

is now slowly happening, and I am the test subject!

(Funniest, at least!).

DevLog for Jan 5, 2015 Trying out the ByWord app, since it has MarkDown support and also publishes to WordPress.

Nothing much going on… Continue reading Real World Haskell.

Woohoo, 2015!

Was a great idea!

That was a long break.

Back from an awesome vacation.

The message icon was flashing obnoxiously.

Missed DevLogging for a while.

Chill weekend.

Let’s see.

Not very code heavy Couple of pull requests(#1 and #2) for the Atom Autosave plugin.

Wooooo!

Back in Glasgow!

Was in Edinburgh again, missed writing it as I went along.

In Edinburgh!

Woke up at 11AM again!

Here we go again.

(As requested by Jean-Fred) One of the ‘pain points’ with working on deploying python stuff at Wikimedia is that pip and virtualenvs are banned on production, for some (what I now understand as) good reasons (the solid Signing / Security issues with PYPI,…

I’ve started paying for IRCCloud.

I’ve started the habit of opening up a devlog post each morning and just filling it up as I go along.

Devlogs again!

This is a best effort translation of the song ‘Clubbule Mabbule‘ (Drunk in a Club) from Tamil to English.

In Welcome to the Machine there is a line that goes “provided with toys and scouting for boys”.

Another nice, one off Discworld book.

Finished that yesterday.

Pro Git is a nice book I recommend to newbies – yet I hadn’t fully read it once.

I’ve been reading a lot over the last few months (Discworld + Foundation gives me about 24 books in the last 3 months), and figured I’d extend that for the next year with a little more underlying planning.

Contains a list of Discworld Novels.

You had to admire the way perfectly innocent words were mugged, ravished, stripped of all true meaning and decency and then sent to walk the gutter for Reacher Gilt, although ‘synergistically’ had probably been a whore from the start Going Postal, Terry P…

From twitter

“Write once, attempt to debug everywhere” is probably way more accurate than “Write once, run anywhere” – at least for GUI apps.

Prettier, faster and more feature packed!
