Sunday, January 23, 2011. The Trek to Tada Falls. On the way to forest office. On Sunday, 9. Jan, I and 6 more friends from IITM went to Tada falls (aka Ubbalamadugu Falls - 13° 36′ 35″ N, 79° 50′ 34″ E. Near Nellore in Andra Pradesh. We took a bus from CMBT to Tada (busses to Nellore and Sri Kalahasti go via Tada), where we reached by 11.30; had food at a Tamil Mess (irony! We used to eat @ Andhra Mess near IIT when bored of our mess.) Then we rode in an open share auto till the forest office gate.

Coding Aviator: The next books update
http://blog.akilan.in/2014/04/the-next-books-update.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2014. The next books update. This time I haven't read as many books as last one. I haven't found time for the promised re-read of The Last Lecture. I have read the third and final volume of Dork. A good book for those who are looking for subtle comedy. I started reading Managing Humans. By Lopp but didn't find it interesting to finish. Started reading How We Die: Reflections of Life's Final Chapter. Entered by Akilan R. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Coding Aviator: June 2011

Monday, June 27, 2011. Gnu/Linux v. Mac. I was searching for something else when I ended up in this Ubuntu forum ( http:/ ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? Where I found this comparison. It's to the point, correct and lets you. To choose what you think you need rather than actually choosing it for you. I thought I should preserve it somewhere very accessible to me so I can show to friends(esp. Anup) when they ask. So which operating system is better? It just depends on your priorities.

Coding Aviator: December 2011
http://blog.akilan.in/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 16, 2011. Forty years ago, this day, Pakistani forces surrendered to Lt. Gen. J S Aurora and Bangladesh. Became truly independent. As Daily Star (Bangladeshi newspaper) wrote, the false premise of communalism was broken and Bangladeshis 'were proud witnesses to a restoration of their secular heritage'. That saw targeted killings and rape of Bengali people, especially Awami leaguers, Hindus, and intellectuals. Let's hope this will bring justice to them. As Indians, it is also worth noting...

Coding Aviator: Mylapore Middle Street
http://blog.akilan.in/2011/05/mylapore-middle-street.html
Sunday, May 29, 2011. Recently I went to Mylapore for a work and I reached too early. Not knowing how to spend nearly two hours, I roamed around the place. One could spot pristine, upper middle class houses on one side of the road and slum on the other! I have never before seen so much difference on two sides of the road. எங்க குடியிருக்கீங்க? நடுத்தெருவுல சார்! The most interesting thing that I spotted (and the namesake of this post) was the street in the photo;. Entered by Akilan R. Me is a nerd; likes...

Coding Aviator: Google Plus
http://blog.akilan.in/2011/09/google-plus.html
Sunday, September 25, 2011. Google Plus has completed 100 days now, and it has many users but the problem is there are no posts! Well, at least not as much as Facebook. This post started as a switching guide for those who wanted to use Google instead of FB but are not doing it since there's isn't much happening here. But now, to celebrate it's open to all feature, it contains another part first. :-). The New Features in Google Plus. The photo sharing is just cool. If one views using G interface, it's...
