Learning...

I have been planning to learn quite a lot. But it does not seem to happen. I still have the final exams for two of my courses, Strategic Management & Cost Benefit Analysis of Technology Management. By end of the first week of Decemeber, I should be done with my courses. I will try to catch up with the learning part once I am done with the classess, hopefully !

Programming for kids

My son wants to learn programming. What's the best that he could start with? I am not sure. Any ideas?

No Fluff

It was that time again, time again for No Fluff, Just Stuff. I was not as much as excited as I was last year, when I went to attend it for the first time.
A couple of reasons...
- Weekends are turning out to the best(read, only) time for quality family stuff..
- Who ever who registered my name got my email in right, so no reminders..
- I messed up the dates, I had a quiz to take this weekend, for which I was yet to prepare
- Checked out the sessions, saw some repeats, oh no, please don't..

But then, I went to attend the conference starting friday afternoon, Two sessions of Dave Thomas back to back ( racing sheeps.. & Ruby) and a keynote on "Art in programming", got me back to senses on why I am here during this weekend! Oh, now I know why they repeat the sessions.. Dave was here last year, with the same session, but guess what, I was listening to someone else during that time.. It was a very interesting talk. Thanks Dave!!

I am still not sure whether I will attend these sessions next year, (not because of anything about the conference, but mostly because it would mean, missing out on a weekend with family which is turing out to be very very much needed...) but I definitely would recommend this to anyone interested in learning something during a weekend!!

The truth is.....

Its been a long time... A lot of promises.. none fulfilled...

That's the way it has been for me off late. All these ideas, dreams of much much to do and look what happens! Absolutely nothing done!!!

Its easy to make excuses, and I hate making them. But you know the truth is...
