Wrote a program, that after writing a blog post, would do all the commadline works for me.
It gistifies the post, then runs another program to add it to the sqlite db, commits it, and pushes it up the server for deployment.

Friday, 31. May 2013 07:19AM: Its strange, I woke up so early, and its strange even more, that I couldn't actually fall asleep anymore.
Friday, 31. May 2013 07:24AM: I'm trying give firefox os simulator a try, and just got brain dead. seriously, there's just a single red line saying, it's not available, for mozilla firefox 16.0.1. Nothing, more. Not even which version it supports and or any other alternatives. It would have been much better, if the mozilla people paid a little attention to these details. Even google, doesn't seem to have an answer. For now, am going back to sleep. Later, I might possibly try building the desktop client.

Designed and built a static website, for a local sports store, overnight as usual.
I owe bootstrap a lot.
It's been a long time since working with css/js stuff. This gave me a chance to revisit them again.
Did it for 1500 bucks, which might help me buy a better processor, good enough to run an Android Emulator.

I'm up with a product idea.
I need three things to get it atleast to the nearest prototype version.
- Android Smartphone - My software is going to fiddle with lots of hardware features, making a Emulator just not sufficient.
- Wifi-Router - The software's based on Wifi-Direct feature of the platform, and I will definitely need access to a wifi-network
- A Processor - My Pentium 4 isn't responding well to my computational needs since recent times. It's good enough for a typical webdev environment or a standard desktop software development, but it couldn't take too much more than a single instance of eclispe running. I'm definitely going to need this one.
All the above together is going to cost upto a 10000INR, which I'm seeing as an investment that I couldn't afford.
Since the software is targetted at big restuarant corporations, even if I could get a couple of clients, its gonna be making a small fortune for me.

Thursday, 27. June 2013 11:18AM: It needs bit more tweaking, and will be ready to be embedded in a mobile app, simply by including a webview in whatever platform I'll have to port it for
Thursday, 27. June 2013 11:19AM: #### Totally, worth a shot!

All this while, I've been battling with my ancient machine to run the power hungry, wicked, Android Emulator, with comes with the sdk. It wasn't worth anything. But, not anymore. I've found a more elegant solution. A way to run the emulator almost twice as fast, using a virtual-box and a Androidx86 image. I havn't run any benchmarks, but it's swift, purely functional and just what I need.

- On the go, to create a clicker like mobile app. Fancying it to be multiplatform, as it was meant to be put into commercial production.
- Started prototyping it.
- And ended up getting it somewhere here!
- And there was a bug. Not a bug exactly, but
- Started digging the source online, and found this to be the problem

One hot shot with my machine for 72 hours, and I got to complete what I couldn't( or perhaps didn't) do in 2 months. Built this by taking every meal as a break, and completely devoid of sleep. Honestly, it was as if, any more of staring at the editor and I'll fall into a limbo where buildings are constructed with statements, objects and semicolons. There was a moment at the genesis of day 2, when my mind started working as if its a virtual machine by itself! Unusual, crazy, interesting, frustrating, intermittently happy 72 hours of my life.

Monday, 08. July 2013 11:11PM: It's the death part of the day, and I'm deciding between enjoying a good movie and coke, or fiddle with the 'download almost finished' GAE sdk for Java :-/
Monday, 08. July 2013 11:13PM: Java is starting to lessen its intimidation and though I don't still embrace its verbosity, it doesn't scare me anymore as it did before me and android era
Monday, 08. July 2013 11:15PM: I've got to get rid of the remaining misunderstanding between us, sooner or later. GAE and J2ee might help :).
Tuesday, 09. July 2013 12:52AM: Well, just read through the basics of GAE, with Java and let me confess, Java is enchanting!
Tuesday, 09. July 2013 12:57AM: Servlet's provide a good way to put the application logics, in a Class, which in turn is mapped by the url routings defined in configuration file and it may or may not send the response directly to the client, in the latter case is when JSP's are used. So, JSP's are the good guys providing a nice templating system to put
