  21. Weekly notes 22 2026

    Weekly notes 22 2026

    Writing the weekly notes after a long time.

    I am sad for the recent changes in Tamilnadu politics. Wanted to get back into life and keep things moving. Started to read books and hear music.

    HiFi Walker H2 Audio Player

    This tiny musical device is showing a new world of music. All the mp3 songs I have heard so far, are so fresh when hearing in this device.

    FLAC and WAV are the complete song formats, where the MP3 seems to give only 60% of the audio content.

    If you have time, interest to enjoy good music, invest some money, get a music player with DAC processor and a good headphones. Then, you can live in a wonderland.

    Wrote more about this here. https://goinggnu.wordpress.com/2026/05/30/immersing-into-music-with-offline-flac-music-player/

    Resuming French learning

    My french course was stopped due to recent India trip. Reading the A1 course content again to continue. Hope will continue the course soon.

    Learning Go language and RAG

    My friend Syed Jafer is conducting many online courses. Joined the courses for RAG and Go lang. Go is interesting language. With the simplicity and power, it can do all the backend stuff. Rewriting the python projects in Go is a good exercise to learn Go quickly.

    Thanks to my Chennai Linux Users Group friend Mohan, to push me to learn go. He has done many projects with Go already. I enjoy the go projects like gotosocial, hugo etc. I like the compilation into single binary and pretty formatting.

    Will write on my learnings soon.

    AI webinar series in Tamil

    Recently, organized a 8 session online webinar session on “Architecture of Artificial Intelligence” in Tamil, along with University of Toronto, Scarborough Library and Kaniyam Foundation.

    org-social

    On searching on alternate social media platforms, found org-social is interesting. It is a social media, based on the emacs text editor’s super feature org-mode.

    Wallabag – Save and classify articles. Read them later. Freely.

    As part of my reducing doom scrolling social media and reading random articles, wanted a system to save the articles to read later. Seems Pocket service by Mozilla is shutdown. Found a open source application to do self hosting. It is called ‘Wallabag”. Installed this in my desktop and saving all the good articles I come across online.

    Now, it is easy and peaceful to read the articles I saved already.

    It is easy setup. It has good extensions for firefox and chrome. Explore more here – https://wallabag.org/

    Hospital visits

    Last few weeks were busy with multiple hospital visits. The annual checkups are showing mostly good, healthy conditions. Still I have B12 and D vitamins deficiency. Got loads of tablets for these. Restarted my exercise at Gym. Need to focus on having good food and more fruits.

    Learning Car driving

    Started to learn car driving. The instructor Pushparaj is so kind and patience. I am still trying to follow his guidance. Still I am in learning phase.

    Summer is here

    Finally, summer came to Canada. Life is super busy with lot of outdoor activities. Viyan is practicing basketball daily. Iyal and Paari are with volleyball and cricket. I started to play Pickle ball with Viyan and friends. We visited central island and few local parks in the weekends.

  25. Weekly notes 22 2026

    Weekly notes 22 2026

    Writing the weekly notes after a long time.

    I am sad for the recent changes in Tamilnadu politics. Wanted to get back into life and keep things moving. Started to read books and hear music.

    HiFi Walker H2 Audio Player

    This tiny musical device is showing a new world of music. All the mp3 songs I have heard so far, are so fresh when hearing in this device.

    FLAC and WAV are the complete song formats, where the MP3 seems to give only 60% of the audio content.

    If you have time, interest to enjoy good music, invest some money, get a music player with DAC processor and a good headphones. Then, you can live in a wonderland.

    Wrote more about this here. https://goinggnu.wordpress.com/2026/05/30/immersing-into-music-with-offline-flac-music-player/

    Resuming French learning

    My french course was stopped due to recent India trip. Reading the A1 course content again to continue. Hope will continue the course soon.

    Learning Go language and RAG

    My friend Syed Jafer is conducting many online courses. Joined the courses for RAG and Go lang. Go is interesting language. With the simplicity and power, it can do all the backend stuff. Rewriting the python projects in Go is a good exercise to learn Go quickly.

    Thanks to my Chennai Linux Users Group friend Mohan, to push me to learn go. He has done many projects with Go already. I enjoy the go projects like gotosocial, hugo etc. I like the compilation into single binary and pretty formatting.

    Will write on my learnings soon.

    AI webinar series in Tamil

    Recently, organized a 8 session online webinar session on “Architecture of Artificial Intelligence” in Tamil, along with University of Toronto, Scarborough Library and Kaniyam Foundation.

    Dr. Tamil Arasan did a wonderful job on the training. He explained the things with neat presentations. Thanks for him and his family for the great support throughout the period of 2 months.

    All the recordings are available here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-PHk6fQ1AI&list=PLIez9dJD6K9YJVjckIwQbq3ebP97OSH-f

    Get the slides and google colab note books here – https://tamilarasan.io/talks-toronto.html

    All the course content is available as Tamil ebooks to purchase in amazon kindle. https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0GTLYPZ6F

    Happy to be part of such good initiative.

    org-social

    On searching on alternate social media platforms, found org-social is interesting. It is a social media, based on the emacs text editor’s super feature org-mode.

    With org-social, we can use emacs editor to be part of a decentralized social media org-social.

    Here is my public org-social file. https://host.org-social.org/shrini/social.org

    Wallabag – Save and classify articles. Read them later. Freely.

    As part of my reducing doom scrolling social media and reading random articles, wanted a system to save the articles to read later. Seems Pocket service by Mozilla is shutdown. Found a open source application to do self hosting. It is called ‘Wallabag”. Installed this in my desktop and saving all the good articles I come across online.

    Now, it is easy and peaceful to read the articles I saved already.

  31. I have added to the Org Social specification the possibility of having invisible posts for bots (`:BOT:`).

    In this example you can see an implementation for playing chess with the `chess` package from Emacs.
