Deepanjan Nag's Magnum Opus

Nothing like waking up to Ellington in the morning.

Asha has created a new blog... yet again! I hope the fit of enthusiasm lasts longer this time.

Why did social media have to steal me away from blogging? I'll make amends.

You sit on my lap as we watch a YouTube video on Bertrand Russell. #arihantnag

Will Windows Live Writer be abandoned for good? I hope Microsoft at least open-sources it.

The pizza flopped.

My Nexus 7 battery was draining at an alarming rate all of a sudden. It would drain 50% overnight even when I wasn’t using it. I’ve still not ascertained the culprit but I guess an app that forcefully stopped background-apps when the monitor switched-off was the reason behind the anomaly. I’ve uninstalled many applications just to be on the safer. Apps have the bad habit of running as background services in Android (not specific to Android though; is by design). I’m happy that the alarming running-out-of-juice has been finally fixed.

Google saved Blogger by buying it just when it was about to tank. For a while all was good. Google made some very obvious and much-needed improvements to the platform. And that was it. Since than, Blogger has been one of Google’s neglected babies. Blogger’s biggest rival - Wordpress, marches on. Blogger, on the other hand, sits idly.

Came to know just now that Arvind Raddi uncle passed away in 2011 after falling into a coma when a careless driver on a scooter knocked him down. I am deeply pained by this news. The cause of his demise fills me with anger.

 

The lights are low. Dexter Gordon plays right into my ears. The ambient silence makes the uninterrupted stream all the more music to my ears.
