A 12-year-old app developer

noreply@blogger.com (Shivanand Guness) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:19:00 PST

This is an interesting video by a 12 year old boy on how he started programming. I think it is great that kids are so into programming, after all this is the generation that already had desktop and laptops around. It would be interesting to see what great apps kids nowadays can come out with. I especially like the part where he is talking about all the different lnguages such as python, java etc that he already knows a little about.

Life as a PhD student

noreply@blogger.com (Shivanand Guness) — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 07:33:00 PDT

Hi;
I just wanted to offer a small insight into the world of a PhD student. I am currently using Web History on Google so as to remember the searches I have done and pages I have visited. Below is my Google history from the beginning of the year.

The first thing I notice from this is, when do I sleep?
On this note, bye I am going back to work.
