Inspired by Derek Sivers now page, here’s what I am doing right now (last update January 2025): * Ready to start a new challenge (more on that later). * Working on my latest side-project. * Reading. One goal is to read all Dune novels. I have finished the Legends of Dune trilogy some time ago and will start on the Great Schools trilogy later this year. * Building various robots. I have recently done a major overhaul of my Lego sorting project and the results are so good I have plenty of energy to continue improving it. * Learning Japanese, 10 minutes a day. I wasn’t able to make as much progress as I wanted. The goal this year is to keep working on it every day and hopefully read a few Yotsuba&! mangas. * My current videogame rotation: Fortnite (it is amazing how they keep reinventing themselves), Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Recently, I got an Anbernic RG 40XXV that I want to set up to play oldschool point and click adventure games on the go. What I’m not doing right now: * Making music. I’d really love to fit in more music-time in my schedule, but it is a very time-consuming hobby, so it is hard to get started. * Organizing my music collection using the awesome Beets. I’ve found a few options to integrate it with Home Assistant and thus indirectly with Google Home. * Improving my Home Assistant setup. I have many ideas, but there’s just too much to do. via GIPHY

Updated January 1, 2025

Hey there šŸ‘‹ My name is Vinayak, and I’m a software engineer based in Paris. Before moving here, I lived in Delhi, where I grew up. I enjoy writing useful open-source code and talk about the things I learn. I also enjoy running, climbing, and exploring the world through travel, food, and meeting new people. Let's chat! Towards the end of 2020, I joined June as the first employee, just before we started our Y Combinator batch. We were trying to build the best way to do customer support, and we shipped new features, improvements, and fixes every week. I'm currently looking for my next role as a full-stack / product engineer, as June is shutting down and the founders are joining Amplitude. I spent the fall of 2020 at the Recurse Center, my favorite programming community. I explored a bit of everything, but the highlight was learning how Python C extensions work and building wheels for Linux, macOS, and Windows. I wrote about what I did every day for 3 months while I was there. Before that, I worked at Grofers (now Blinkit), a quick-commerce service, where I helped establish the data infrastructure. This included building a replication tool to reliably move data to our data warehouse, and a notebook-centric data platform that enabled the data team to train models and build dashboards. During this time, I also organized the PyData Bangalore and Grofers Tech Talks meetups. Before that, I worked at Socialcops (now Atlan), a data intelligence company, where I contributed to building the DISHA dashboard, India's national data platform. This platform integrates data from various ministries, enabling the Indian government to evaluate key schemes and initiatives. I also developed tools to help the data team create products for tracking disease outbreaks in India, monitoring businesses' contributions to achieving the SDGs, and much more.

A /now page, for sharing what I'm currently working on. Updated 31 December 2024. ### Work Things are becoming more stable at work. I've moved through natural transitions between a couple of projects and am feeling like I'm able to contribute, which is crucial for me to stay motivated. There are a few events in the pipeline that I'm looking forward to. Pint of Science next week, which is a global science festival. I've been helping to organise the Turing's contribution to the event. In June I'm hoping to travel to Hamburg for ISC High Performance 2025. I've neither been to the event nor Hamburg before, so my expectations are somewhat open right now. Finally in July I'm hoping to attend a CUDA programming course in Oxford. Although I can claim to have some experience with GPUs and distributed programming, I've not done anything with CUDA and I'm genuinely excited to find out more. ### Rest I've been doing my best to fulfil my New Years Resolution of doing something fun outside the house at least once per week. Joanna and I are planning a holiday in the Forest of Dean as well as a trip to Alicante in Southern Spain on the Mediterranean to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in September. So lots of things to look forward to. ### Play My main outside-of-work activity recently has been developing a NewPipe app for Sailfish OS. As with my Gecko development process I've been writing a daily development diary. It's both exhausting and exhilarating having to do a chunk of development — and write it up — on a daily basis, but so far I've been making steady progress. There's plenty more to do, so I expect this to take up much of my free time for the rest of the year. I was gifted a really nice Nomadic P1000 gaming projector for my birthday. It's been a lot of fun throwing up movies, games and — perhaps most fun of all! — code onto the living room wall.

Updated December 31, 2024

Now --- Living ------ Living in a small town in Brandenburg after many years in Berlin. We're slowly renovating an 90-year-old house which had exciting original features like Third Reich windows and a DDR-era electrical system. The big construction stuff is done, now it's the making it look nice stage. Working ------- Right now, I'm on a break. The last five ten years have been pretty relentless; so after my previous employer ran out of money, I spent the back half of 2024 renovating chunks of the house, working on some side projects, and generally unwinding my head a bit. Eventually I'll run out of walls to paint, but I'll see where I'm at in a couple of months. One of the upsides of a relentless five years is a healthy "fuck you" budget so this time I can afford to be a bit more deliberate about what to do next. Reading ------- The Kindle backlog isn’t getting any smaller, because I haven’t been commuting since the Before Covid Times. I’m trying to add more German language into the mix, but it’s a balance between things that are too-far beyond my comprehension level which get me lost, or things which are easy to read but not well-written. The first 3 entries in the ā€œmost recentā€ list: Glenkill; \[Wool\](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silo\_(series); Poets of Matter Watching -------- Silo - I would never have looked twice at this if I’d seen the ā€ždystopianā€œ label, but I’m glad I did. The setting reminds me very strongly of Romania. Yellowstone: not a single sympathetic character amongst them, but still oddly-compelling. Slow Horses - slightly spoilered by having read the books, but worth watching anyway. Listening --------- I tried Apple Music as an alternative to Spotify for a while, but it didn't stick. My Spotify auto-generated weekly playlist changes so much from week to week bu it's more-or-less impossible to summarise, but there's a lot of Bach in there at the moment. It's maths set to music, which appeals to my inner nerd. The podcasts on rotation are \[https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl/episodes/downloads\](In Our Time), https://www.luxcapital.com/riskgaming and \[https://www.quantamagazine.org/tag/the-joy-of-why/\](The Joy Of Why) Coding ------ The various side projects of the last few years are still running, so I have a huge list of dusty half-completed ideas lingering on GitHub. The joy of a new old house is the chance to try to automate it all by retrofitting new technology to resolutely-analogue ausyems, so there's a pile of ESP boards and various sensors on one end of my desk. And I’m still trying to figure out the best stack and processes and workflow for keeping this site more up to date. Running ------- I’m still not back at pre-Covid levels after most of a year. That could equally be aging-related, of course. I’m deliberately trying not to overdo it this time. _this is a now page_

Salut. I'm Parimal, a designer, writer and occasional musician living in Berlin. I also go by FĆ©lix. I'm interested in communication, languages, cross-cultural exchange, aviation, computer history, information systems and the European Union. Neustadt.fr is my personal website, a tribute to the creative web of the 90s. New music ---------- Listen to the new Snow Circuit single Burnover, a psychological thriller in synthwave form featuring singler Liliia Kysil! Currently ---------- I work as a UX/UI Designer at OpenProject, a secure, open-source project management software that respects your data and your privacy. **Snow Circuit** is my retro synthwave project. I was previously a student pilot and host of the Ground Effect aviation podcast. Writing ------- This is a selection of essays I've written over the years: * In Praise of Dive Watches, an eloge to the humble dive watch and why the timing bezel makes them a particularly useful everyday tool even now, in 2024 * Rediscovering the Small Web, about how, despite the dominance of the commercial web, a fun, creative and informative _small web_ designed by regular people still exists and is worth exploring, 2020. This essay was featured on the front page of Hacker News and has been cited elsewhere. It seems to also have played a role in the development of Kagi's small web lens. * Against an Increasingly User-Hostile Web, about how not to replace an open web that connects and empowers with one that restricts and commoditises people, 2017. This essay was on the front page of Hacker News twice, in 2017 and in 2020, quoted in a Swedish book by privacy experts (page 174), recommended reading in a Berkeley course and cited elsewhere. * A Beginner's Guide to Crafting a Blog with Metalsmith, a hands-on tutorial on creating a blog using a node.js-based static site generator, 2016 * Teaching Myself German, a guide to self-learning Deutsch, 2016 * 32c3 - Chaos Communication Congress, highlights from the 32nd edition of the biggest community-run hacker meet-up, 2016 * Physics in Metal, a scientific lyrical analysis of metal songs that deal with concepts in theoretical physics and cosmology, 2015 * Island (At Long Last), a poem about murderous sea-dwelling nymphs, 2015 * China: One Nation, How Many Languages?, an academic paper about the development of the Chinese language, also somehow one of the primary sources for the Wikipedia article on the Beijing dialect, 2010 Music ----- I make retro synthwave music as Snow Circuit. Dark, melancholic and sometimes hopeful, Snow Circuit brings elements of rock and metal to an 80s-inspired synth-driven sound. Other music ----------- I mostly listen to progressive metal, powermetal and old school heavy metal, but also enjoy synthwave and pop music. Some of my more experimental musical creations: * L'appel du vide, an attempt at creating a soundtrack for a horror film, inspired by what Italian metal band Goblin did for Susperia, 2023 * Terminate, a cover of the legendary Terminator 2 movie soundtrack created entirely on a PO-133 Pocket Operator, 2022 * DĆ©confinement, retro synth track based on an old composition, 2020 * Einstein-Rosen Bridge, instrumental electro-metal, 2016 * To Hell with Heaven, instrumental old-school metal, 2015 * Navigate the Seas of the Sun, Bruce Dickinson cover, 2015 * The Machine Stops, based on the short story by E. M. Forster, 2012 * Il Ć©tait une fois, inspired by Yann Tiersen, 2012 * Vita, morte, miracoli, meant to be a morning wake-up alarm, 2012 * In My Life, Beatles cover with my brother Parag on the guitar, 2012 * Return of the Ghost, with two guitar- and one keyboard solos, 2012 * Dreams to Illusions, once described as "power game music", 2008 * Threads of Time, dark introspective rock, 2007 * Age of Mist, mid-tempo instrumental about not knowing, accepting, 2007 * Fallen, 4-chord song about valiant (but incompetent) warriors, 2007 Retro Stuff ------------ I grew up with the internet of the 90s and early 2000s. It was chaotic, irregular, flashy, gaudy, peppered with animated GIFs, but most websites were made by people like you and me who wanted to share their interests and hobbies. Luckily, I'm not the only one nostalgic about the Geocities era. There's a lot of us! Click the icon below to enter my Retro Collection page full of links to websites, tools, Winamp skins and other cool stuff from the past. Guestbook --------- Don't be a stranger. If you have a comment, suggestion or simply want to say hello, you can sign my guestbook. Or read what others have written. You can also get in touch with me via email (felix@neustadt.fr). —

I love \[…\]

* * * Ā **Ben Tibbetts Studio**Ā  Ā  Ā  Home Ā  Ā Services Ā  Ā Archive Ā  Ā Students Ā  Ā About Ā  Ā Contact Ā  Ā Now Ā  Ā Store Ā  Ā Subscribe * * * **Now** _("So how have you been? What are you up to now?")_ **_Last updated on December 21, 2024_** Here's some of the stuff I've been up to in 2024. **Teaching** My teaching studio has grown a lot. This time last year, I had about thirty students. Now, I have about fifty students. That's because I started renting my office full-time, so I had a lot more time on my hands to work. The recent student recital video is now on YouTube. I thought that was the best student recital so far. I saw improvement this year from all my students. That recital featured about half of my studio, since the other half are adults. They had some performance opportunities, too—informal ā€œMusic & Mingleā€ parties—but those events aren't filmed. **The _Curses_ Concert** The first event this year was a concert called _Curses_. This was a collaboration between the poetry group Typewriter Rodeo and a group I'm a part of, Central Texas Composers. Curses was an eclectic mix of art songs inspired by the word "curses." For example, one song was about magical spells; another was about cursive writing; and another was about swearing. The song I composed for that concert was called Ode To Cursive. The full concert is available on YouTube. Please be aware there's a lot of adult language. **Developing A Video Game With A Student** I helped one of my students compose music for an original video game. We began the project last year, and it was released this past spring. My student Vaibhav wrote all the music and we designed the game during the last ten minutes of our piano lessons. I programmed it in GameMaker and it came together nicely. You can play it at www.glitchmountain.net. **Music for Jani Putzker** I composed some music for an animation by my friend Janina Putzer. The film, which is called _Hook In The Mouth_, is still in production. **_Not Yet_ by Ashten Falter** I arranged music for a music video by my friend Ashten Falter. Ashten is a local filmmaker, actress, musician, and dancer. The film is called _Not Yet_. It features the Debussy piece, _Clair de lune_, arranged for piano, flute, and cello. It was filmed at Mozart's Coffee Roasters in Austin, and featured Sheila Va and Caroline McGee. **One Ounce Opera: Valentine's Day** Early this year, I accompanied vocalists for a Valentine's Day concert organized by One Ounce Opera. The concert featured Carlee Abschneider, Katie Winchester, and Kevin Arratia-Diaz. I will release those videos later. (I want to add lyrics on the screen, but it's a slow process for me.) **Inversion Ensemble** I had the privilege of performing with the Inversion vocal ensemble this year. The first performance was at the Austin Public Library, called ā€œInversion at the Libraryā€. The second was at the Here Be Monsters Festival this past summer. For that latter performance, I was on stage with an electric organ premiering an original oratorio by James Tecuatl-Lee called _Godric And His Demons_. Please be aware that this piece contains some graphic descriptions which are not child-friendly. **Sam Levreault's Doctoral Recital** I also had another opportunity to play with the flutist Sam Levreault. Sam is pursuing her doctorate at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I flew up there to perform a couple pieces in her Doctoral Recital. We performed the Prokofiev Flute Sonata, a solo piece by the contemporary composer Amanda Harberg, and a virtuosic showpiece by Alfredo Casella. **Young Artist Competitions** Another highlight of the year was playing for several young artist competitions in the area. These were at Cedar Park, Cedar Ridge, and Vandegrift high schools. These are basically school-wide competitions where student musicians perform sonatas, concertos, and other showy solo pieces with piano accompaniment. **Orchestration Lessons** This year, I worked hard to improve my orchestration abilities. I took orchestration lessons with my friend Keith Allegretti. Keith has been providing a lot of helpful advice, but more than that, having a deadline every two weeks to produce something has been incredibly useful. Here are the pieces I produced this year, if you'd like to listen: * In The Cave * Humoresque * Cold Blood Overture * Joy Ride **Aria in the Style of Mozart** A few people from Central Texas Composers were commissioned by One Ounce Opera to produce arias for the Here Be Monsters Festival. The lineup included Graham Yates, Carol Brown, and myself. We were given considerable freedom in what we could create. I chose to write an aria in the style of Mozart. It was a parody of the _Queen of the Night_ aria, titled _The Queen of the Morning After_. It was beautifully performed by Elise Leung Kotara and Benjie Dia. That video will be released on YouTube. **The Riddles Recital** In September, I participated in _The Riddles Recital_. This was originally the brainchild of my friend, Amy Herman. Amy was seeking public domain text to set to music, and she happened on a set of medieval poems called _The Exeter Riddles_. In the end, she, Keith Allegretti, and I set a few of these poems to music. This was my first time writing music in Old English. It was hard, but it was fun! The video will be released soon. **Personal Things** This was a busy year. To make my work schedule easier, I moved to an apartment near my office. This was a good call. It's right down the road, about a 3-5 minute drive. I've been learning the guitar. This has been fun. I think it's making me a better teacher, too, because it's reminding me of what it's like to be a beginner on an instrument. Scarborough Fair was a recent project. I’m still playing at Trinity Church every week. I’m grateful for that because it gives me an opportunity to perform regularly, which ensures I don't let my chops slip too far. (Thanks for putting up with me every week, Tim.) Instead of New Year's resolutions, every year I pick a word or phrase to remind me of something I want to focus on. This past year's phrase was ā€œNetflix or Bustā€. I wanted to participate in something on Netflix or another streaming platform—to be connected, in some small way, to show business. I sort of managed to fulfill this, since earlier this year I was an extra on the TV show _1923_. It'll be on Paramount, not Netflix. That'll be coming out in February. Someday, I'd like to snag a scoring job for a show, or something similar. That would be amazing. Being a film composer was a childhood dream of mine, and as an adult I still have a strong desire to tell stories with music. I don’t know what my New Year’s theme 2025 will be yet, but things are looking up. **Musicians & Organizations** Here are all of the musicians and organizations I mentioned in this update. I've included links so you can find more information about their work if you're interested.

About worldnews24.tv -------------------- Last updated: 2024-12-19 Why I Created This Site ----------------------- In a time when society polarizes and political tension rises, we need to see the news from different perspectives so that we can build informed opinions. The local TV channels I watch mostly focus on local issues, and lately they seem to be getting more one-sided. At the same time, paying for cable to watch world news can get really expensive. So, I started looking online and found that many international news channels are actually available for free! The only problem is, each one has its own website. Opening 10 or 20 tabs just to watch the news isn’t exactly convenient. That’s when I thought, ā€œWhat if I could bring all these channels together and make it easy to flip through them, just like regular TV? How I Picked the Channels ------------------------- Here’s what I considered when choosing the channels: 1. **World News** – I wanted channels that give a bigger picture, not just local news. 2. **In English** – Channels in English so more people can understand. 3. **Popular in Their Area** – I tried to pick the big ones from each area – while they may not represent everyone’s opinion, they are influential and widely followed voices in their regions. 4. **24/7 Streaming** – So that we can watch from around the world, around the clock. 5. **Open to the Public** – Only channels that stream publicly on their official sites or YouTube, showing that they want to make them public. 6. **No Embedding Restrictions** – I only include channels that don’t ban out embedding; if a channel disable embedding into this site, I respect their decision. 7. **Free** – The channels should be viewable for free on their official sites or YouTube. I don’t want to offer pirated content. How To Use ---------- You can switch channel by using: * ā—€ ā–¶ (on keyboard) * ā†šŸ‘†ā†’ : one-finger left/right swipe on the player window (on touchscreen) * ā® ā­ (on keyboard or remote control), or * CHā–² CHā–¼ (on remote control) even in full-screen mode.

Hi, I'm Mark and I'm a software architect & developer ----------------------------------------------------- I have been working in the IT environment for 17 years. As part of my current work at konzentrik GmbH , I plan event-driven applications as a software architect, as a full stack developer I write the appropriate frontend and backend code and as a good agile evangelist (you build it, you own it) I am responsible for operations. Of course not alone, it's just good to understand and master each area in order to discuss solutions with colleagues at eye level. In various agile teams I have often experienced heated discussions about which values makes up the team. A good approach to ensure team cohesion. I always try to incorporate my values: reliability, neatness, excellence, composure and curiosity. The good thing about values ​​is that they are lived in different forms and in nuances can be described in a modified form using other words and thus in the team values can be accommodated. In my teams, respect and appreciation were almost always the top priority. I see this as part of reliability - everyone in the team can rely on that I listen to and take into account his or her opinion with due care, keep my promises and thus advance common issues. I live in Hamburg and play DnD ------------------------------ I was born in Hamburg and, apart from a short trip to Reinbek, always stayed in Hamburg. I am rooted in the north and enjoy the green surroundings in Niendorf. When I was young, I loved spending hours on weekends and holidays playing DSA and DnD. Since 2022 I have been with a few friends and my son to get a group together again with which we can celebrate our DnD 5th Edition campaigns once or twice a month. Most Saturdays we start at 6 p.m. with a delicious meal that I prepare for everyone - there's nothing like a big pot of chili con carne. Then we go into the basement into the games room with digital cards, atmospheric music from the Anker Box and our figures. I play table tennis ------------------- During the Covid pandemic it happened that we put a table tennis table in the garden. What started as a small hobby with my son has developed into an enormous passion. I joined the local club Niendorfer Turn- und Sportverein (NTSV), started training and taking part in league games. Because only a few people engaged in the club, I became team captain, sports director for the men and, since May 2024, department head for the table tennis division. My son trains a lot and is aiming for a professional career. Through many great coincidences it happened that he will be training for a month at the Luneng table tennis school in China in September 2024. I accompany him and I have to say, it's an amazing experience. I read a lot of (fantasy) books ------------------------------- I love reading fantasy series on the scale of Wheel of Time. I usually read a few series at the same time so that I can enjoy them for longer. Since 2024 I have discovered the self-published author Pedro Urvi with his series ā€œThe Path of the Rangerā€. At the same time, I enjoy the well-known series by author R.A. Salvatore (Dark Elves series), David Eddings (Belgariad Saga) and Brandon Sanderson (The Stormlight Chronicles). And for a change, Lee Child's new volume from the Reacher series finds its way onto my bookshelf every summer. And for the winter I'm thinking about picking up a Jack Ryan novel again. My career journey so far ------------------------ I work at konzentrik GmbH as a technical lead, software architect and full-stack developer. For more details, check out my CV. Download CV 1. May 2005 - Apr 2014 Swisscom Conception, architecture, development and support of a platform for processing and displaying electronic program data (EPG). 2.

I am currently here in my journey :D A simple stack that you can always trust ---------------------------------------- I've been a software developer for over 17 years, and while my stack has shifted over the years, I kept coming back to the same technologies. The following is the stack that I've developed & honed over the years as a software developer.
