William Grenville, 1st Baron Grenville
I saw this new bench in front of Burnham Park Hall and it has really interesting inscription on it. One of UK's Prime Minister 200 years ago was from Burnham so this bench was installed here to remember him. If you want to visit this location you will find the location here. Burnham Park Hall is in front of Burnham High Street which I find really beautiful, there are interesting shops that look really old. In fact I am sure these are very old buildings. It is good to see that old buildings are preserved. Ye Olde Swan is a bar, I have never been there so I guess I should. Looks interesting from outside. May be I will go alone. On the high street there is an old fire station building which is now a beauty parlour :) Outside Burnham Park Hall there is a monument as well. Autumn makes the…

Jubilee River
First time I got access to the internet in late 90s and since then I have been quite active online. Until late 90s there were no popular social networking sites but there were chatrooms (Yahoo, IRC and AOL), file sharing sites (Napster) but it was in early 2000s when sites like myspace and orkut became popular and I like many other used them. I finished my school in 1999 and my engineer in 2003 so honestly there was not really a big need to connect with old friends. Usually we used to call our close friends or just go to their houses. That was pretty much it back then. However these social networking sites provided a way to peek into what your old school mates are doing. It also provided a platform where you can share things and seek approval from other in a form on likes. I also…

Learning Node.js
So few weeks ago I started learning Node.js and made a URL Shortener. I am quite happy with the progress so far but I am struggling to keep myself motivated. Apart from learning from some YouTube videos I am also doing a course on Udemy. I do that everyday in the morning. However I get bored very easily from following a course. so I thought why not I share my journey. I think the best way to learn something is to also share what you learned. Without wasting any time let us try to understand what is Node.js? Wikipedia says  Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, back end, JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside a web browser. So it means I guess that you are using JavaScript code in the backend and not just for doing fancy stuff with HTML elements…

RaviSagar.com
Head over to RaviSagar.com & and you will see a site, my site :) yet another site but this one is different. This site has a dot com domain which I wanted to get for a long time. Believe it or not this domain was on sale for $2500 something dollars for years. I guess nobody bought it all these years and it was released in the market. I bought it immediately. Now since I already have this Drupal site and one more www.ravi.pro which I publish using only Emacs Org Mode, I wanted to do something different with RaviSagar.com. This site is 100% HTML, CSS and a bit of Javascript to pull in my latest posts from this site. I searched online and found some script to convert RSS XML into HTML. I modified them little bit and wrote this one. $(document).ready(function() {     //feed to parse…

2020 DIY Standing Desk
Feeling a bit nostalgic today. Let me share my desk setup of the past few years. 2020 - Standing desk setup. Yes it doesn't look fancy but it gets the job done :) This is a DIY standing desk with several boxes placed on top of each other to achieve the perfect position. Try it out it is cheap - just need some of your time to setup and it is satisfying :) 2009 - I spent lot of time that building some personal Drupal sites. This year I got serious about doing it professionally and started the process of registering my company. I used to workout from my room where I had bench press and weights. 2011 - I have no doubt that this year I worked really hard. I still feel guilty that I don't work hard enough now like I used but I guess it was needed that year. 2012 - My daughter was born that year…

Raining
As usual the rain is very specific about when and when not to pour. It rains a lot in UK, a lot and now I understand why people look forward to sunny weather :) You can count on fingers the days when the weather is good in UK.

Church Inside Barbican
I spent quite lot of time working near Barbican. I got to spend lot of time walking on the high walks, which is an elevated pathway inside Barbican, connecting each and every building. It is a good walk. The reason why I like Barbican is because of the architecture. Not everyone will like it but if you are a fan of Brutalist architecture then Barbican is your heaven. Each and every building there is grey and look really cool. You can reach Barbican in different ways, Barbican, Moorgate and Bank station being the nearest. If you walk on the highways you will get to see some portions of old London walls still in existence. These benches are there in case you want to have your lunch. London Museum is also there and it is free (except some events). This building seems very old is right next…

sinhagad fort
This is Pune which is a really beautiful city near Bombay, there was a time when I used to travel quite a lot in India. Many years ago I started providing consultation around Atlassian tools. I consider myself lucky that I got the opportunity to travel and also to work with many companies across India. I was hoping to travel to India this month but as we all know things are different all across the world. AUG Pune invited me to speak and do a session. Although I would have loved to do that in person but I will settle with an online session this year. Topic: Improve Jira Ticket Quality with Dynamic Fields in ScriptRunner Date: 23rd August 2020 Time: 10:30 BST (15:00 IST) RSVP: Click here Let me share more pictures :) Session pic
