Weekly Notes 04/2026
I have a sore throat and a cold. I think I got it from Uma, and she got it from school. I have also been talking a lot in meetings this week, and that’s not helping. Also, it’s very cold.

Back to Basics on an old Bike
I often find something that still doesn’t feel 100% right. These days, it has been the cold start and the choke. After the bike came out of restoration, it had a cold-start problem. The usual solution was to use the choke without throttle, and that mostly worked. During the recent six-month service, I...

One Video Format
I have a bunch of screen-casts that I want to release. I have not found a good PeerTube instance to host my videos. I am happy to pay a monthly fee, and I hope one day there will be a platform that provides this. For now, I will add them to my site,...

Nagarathna Memorial Grant – 2026 Open for Applications
Welcome to the ninth edition of the NMG grant. I am grateful to friends (Nemo, Gangadhar, Shweta, Divya, Miss.Y, Mr.S) and other anonymous folks who have joined me on this journey with additional grant support. We do have some of them supporting us this year, too. Since last year, we have separated the...

Fantasy Consoles and the Joy of Limits
I came across PICO-8 sometime in 2018. The programmer and short-time gamer in me couldn’t control myself and had to buy it. I have not made any games with it, but I have enjoyed dabbling with it once in a while. The game, thankfully, is still owned by the same folks and continues...

The weekend and the week were busy as we wrapped up at Thrissur, traveled, and got back to work after the holiday season. Uma’s school also restarted this week after the holidays. We are back to regular programming.

Welcome to the new year. I didn’t do much on New Year’s Eve or Day, other than maybe sleeping a bit. However, I took some time to write and publish the year-end post. This is the 18th year of publishing year-end posts.

The Year that was 2025
The year 2025 has been a decent year personally. I got to focus on and spend time with family, friends, and on personal growth. The work has been decent. I am still able to explore, learn, and apply new things. It helped that I am mostly off popular social media, spend very little...

Weekly Notes 52/2025
It’s been a good but hectic week. Lots of work coming together, so it’s a lot of coordination, talking, and generally being busy. My painting project #30DaysOfWatercoloring is two weeks old now. It’s been going well. I am learning a lot. I am also happy that I have been able to keep it...

Review: ViaTerra’s Wayne Urban Riding Jacket
I got the basic riding gear, like gloves, a helmet, and riding boots, first. For some reason, it took me a while to get a riding jacket. Probably because I already have too many jackets and pullovers in my life and didn’t want to add another. But before the Kuppalli ride, Manju and...

Turning My Laptops into a Dask Distributed Cluster
I wanted a distributed system where the client submitting the job has the code and logic, but the workers don’t. They just execute the workload they get. I had used Dask in the LocalCluster mode, where everything runs on the same computer but in different processes/threads. It works well, and I have used...

Weekly Notes 51/2025
It’s been a hectic week with lots of things running in parallel, and some are set to conclude in a few weeks. It is the last 20% to 30% of the work that takes the most time. I think I will be swamped through the holidays.

30 Days of Watercoloring
I did a bit of drawing and painting when I was in school. I loved it, but kind of lost it when I reached college. I never got to learn it, though I always wanted to. Recently, when Uma started playing with colors, I thought about to learning watercoloring just for fun. This...

It’s been a good week. I got lots of work done. I am still lagging on some tasks due to dependencies, but I am almost there. I should be on track before Christmas. Also, I have been able to do two workouts at Stairs (P.T.), one generic session at Gold’s, and one pickleball...

Mapping My Motorcycle Ride Through Songs
Once I finished blogging my recent ride to Kupalli and back, I thought it would be great to map the songs to the location. I was scrobbling my music to ListenBrainz, and any GPS was logged as usual. Using the good old way of using timestamps to match things, I mapped location to...

Welcome to the last month of the year. 2025 seems to be getting over quickly. Work for me has been hectic. I have been busy. I think it will be until the end of the year. Hopefully, next month will be better.

Ride to Kuvempu’s Kuppalli
I wanted to go on a long ride at least twice a year. I was not even thinking of really long rides, just a decent three or four day ride. Last year, we could ride to Gokarna in WN-05/2024 and to Valparai in WN-40/2024. But this year’s beginning was very painful due to radiculopathy. It was so bad that I...

I am in Kuppalli, the home of poet Kuvempu. We rode today and reached this evening. We are visiting the memorial of Kuvempu (Kavishaila) and Poornachandra Tejaswi here. Over the weekend, we are riding to Agumbe, Karkala, Kudremukha, and back to Bengaluru by Sunday night.

Review: Scala Viper Gloves – Black Neon
I am reviewing this late, but this is the first gear that I bought when I decided to restart motorcycling. I still think that, after you get a decent helmet (in my case, borrowed), you should get a decent pair of gloves. I have never bought or worn motorcycle riding gloves. I have...

Bangalore has suddenly turned very cold, apparently due to a cold wave. It’s been at least 4 to 5 degrees colder in the early mornings. I had a bit of a temperature, a cold, and a sore throat most of the week, thanks to the weather and Uma. School kids are super spreaders....

Weekend ride to Kurubarahalli
I have not ridden a motorcycle for than a couple of kilometers since my neck pain started. Now, I don’t have pain. But I wanted to take a test ride with a heavier helmet before I go on my planned long ride. Also, I have not taken Yamaha on a long ride. And...

It’s been a good week. I have made good progress in general. I continued with my workouts as planned and played Pickleball on Wednesday. We played five games in 90 minutes. We’re all getting better and have started enjoying the game more now. Work has been hectic to say the least. I have...

Work, Hard Work, and Stupid Work
For me, work means utilizing all available tools, knowledge, and options to achieve a goal. You will need to dedicate time and effort regularly to acquire or to become better at them. Sometimes, in specific projects, these tools, methods or pieces of knowledge aren’t ready, complete, or acceptable. You adapt, do your best,...

We are in November already. Only about seven weeks are left in 2025. It’s been running fast, but at least it seems to be ending on a good note with Zohran Mamdani winning NYC. The Bihar elections have started. I don’t know which way it will go, but it’s good to see large...
