 My phone is turning more and more like my mind. Very smart? Genius? No, nothing seems to go away. There were 1100 photos yesterday. I deleted quite a lot and today there are 1600 photos! And then it complains that cloud storage is full. Stupid piece of silicon! What am I doing other than looking at old photos and watching British Netflix shows? Well, I try. And one of these days I may end up coding in 0s and 1s. That might be ultimate method of “tamper proofing” There is this play by oscar Wilde “the importance of being earnest” . Ultimate sarcasm. Each line is oozing with gems of sharp witty quotes.  Look at these samples   to lose one parent is tragedy. To lose both is carelessness  I am of the opinion that a man who wants to get married should either know everything or nothing

 I was talking to Siri in the morning. Siri if you have not already guessed it, is the virtual assistant which comes with your phone. And I talk to her occasionally about my daily plans. Yes, I make daily plans. Just like you make new year resolutions. And they are as much executed as your new year resolutions. Which does not stop me from making plans next day again.  So I was asking Siri to make a note of my plan in my phone. But it is actually Sira - because my Sirsi speaks in a male voice. I tried once to install a female voice, it did not work out and I left it.  So I was telling Siri to make a note of my plan. It noted. Then I asked him/her/it to add more items to that note. He kept on telling again and again that he can not find that note, like a robot. In frustration I told him I will kill him.  And his response was " That is not very nice". Poor little Siri/Sira By the way, he can tell you some lame jokes too, if you ask nicely.  What is the point of this post? Nothin

Not a dev

How many times can a person go from Fire to the frying pan? How many times and in how many different ways?  My IDE for developing programs was not working. I tried to fix it many many many times. unsuccessfully.  So I tweaked and tweaked my Ubuntu so much that  the  operating system broke down.  I try to fix it as I had done many many many times before . But this time it doesn't work. No login screen at all. And not even text terminals.  So what do I do? I try installing the operating system as I had done many many many times but surprisingly even this fails. Now I do not have my previous OS nor the new one. So this was how life will be.  Then  I got up in the middle of the night when only ghosts and owls will be awake.  I switch off the broadband router and I start fixing my OS and finally I succeeded in installing a 10 year old version of operating system and sacrificing all my data.  So now I have decided that I will no longer be an android developer, no longer be a developer, n
