What I have been doing

By Sahil Gupta | Feb 21, 2009

Doing all sorts of things except updating this place. Why so? no one knows. You know what, as I write this sentence I am being pinged on Google Talk by a friend who is asking a perfectly timed question: “Last post on TechnoDiary - Oct 20 ?? Why?”. Such a great coincidence because he doesn’t know I am writing this post.

Alright, lets find answer(s) for this post’s title. I have been:

Optimising sites
Making money online
Hiring freelancers
Shopping:
- PSP 3004 (trying to find a gamer in me)
- iPod Touch 2G (simply rocks)
- ASUS EEE 1000H laptop (gifted to my sister)
- Cheap headphone (works perfectly fine)
- 8 GB pendrive
Reading books:
- A briefer history of time
- The Google Story
- Let’s dive into Python
Watching movies
Hanging out with friends once in a while

The above list summarizes quite a lot of things which kept me occupied in last few months. Besides, I did have semester exams which I don’t think deserve to be in the list above. Cheers.

cool one, you have been doing many things. BTW why semester exams not listed in the list, you have gone through them as well :)

Ha ha ha…Yes, that’s me:)..It’s really amazing coincidence even many times I faced this kind of coincidence..

Rajat,

I always try finding ways to show my hatred towards our education system. What I wrote in the post is just an example of it.

Hardip,

Had you not pinged me.. I might not have hit the publish button. I have a peculiar habit of letting some personal posts decompose as drafts. Thank you :)

Naveen,

You are making me feel like a celebrity. :P

Sem exams do not deserve a place in the list.
Loved it :D
Fact :)

Good to know, you are learning Python. Hope to see more blog posts about Python soon.

Azhar,

If you are looking for posts on programming here, I am afraid you’ll be disappointed.

I just noticed that you’re updating your blog frequently now. Time to add one more feed to my RSS reader. :)

hey write a review for Asus EEE …. it is a rocking computer but interestingly it always gets gifted to someone else .. I bought EE for my mum , also shed some light on this phenomenon . Is it too small to be thought of as a laptop??(My theory)
coincidence - I also bought an 8GB harddrive
Read Google story gets boring after a point especially once you get to the changes that we have seen.That is after gmail etc.I have a similar book on Apple if you ever wish to read it …
Briefer history of time(what’s that about)
@Rajat : it would unfair to add exams in the list considering that we did not spend our time studying.
@Azhar: there was a freed.in meeting in JNU ,Delhi .. you might have liked to attend it because python seemed to be the major theme of the day. And since you are learning Lisp i think you are learning the major inspiration behind python.

oh and by the way if you are watching movies you might want to add Dev D in the list , it blew away, and take Delhi 6 out of it if it was ever there…

Amit,
ASUS EEE 1000H is a netbook infact, not for power users like us. We’ll discuss the phenomenon when me meet in college.

Just started with G’s story.

Briefer…time is a enhanced/trimmed version of Stephen Hawking’s Brief history of time.

DevD = Seen. (it’s good)

Delhi6 = Seen (Average)

Thanks
