As I had mentioned earlier, at work I was “strongly encouraged” to use Azure Service Bus, instead of RabbitMQ (which was the technology I had suggested.) RabbitMQ has good Ruby support. I had chosen Sneakers (Which uses bunny under the hood) Since Azure Service Bus also supports AMQP, I was trying to see if we can use these libraries with Azure Service Bus. But connection itself wouldn’t work. I kept getting FrameTypeError

Today I wrote (OK, copy/pasted sample code and modified) python after more than a year. (Is it a year or an year - confusing. I think either works) I had to start from installing python. Why did I use python ? At work, we are trying to connect to Azure Service Bus over AMQP. Ruby is not officially supported by MS anymore. Python is. But we wanted to try non-azure client.

I used something like following - which did not work * TODO Main task [0/3] - [x] Subtask 1 - [ ] Subtask 2 - [ ] Subtask 3 As we can see, I expected to see [1/3] but I continue getting [0/3] Correct way to do this is : * TODO Main task [1/3] ** DONE Subtask 1 ** TODO Subtask 2 ** TODO Subtask 3 With the correct syntax, I don’t even need to C-c C-c to update / in the main task.
Continue Reading »Yesterday, I started using org-mode for tracking my TODO items. I had tried it a long time ago. Org is very powerful, and it can list the TODO items across multiple files. But that gets (at least in past) overwhelming. So I started simple. I started with setting org-agenda-file to ~/org/work.todo That is the only file I’m tracking my work items. Then I use org-agenda to list all the open items.

I like Va. Pu. Kale’s stories because it has great balance of the story and philosophy. Just philosophy is OK for a while, but too much of it can get boring. I like Richard Bach’s writing for the same reason
My mastodon account is now verified with green tick 😄
I already had a link to my Mastodon account in the footer of this blog
for quite some. But did not have rel=me which I added today.
I also did not have a link to this blog from mastodon account - which I added just now.
As a result, now I have green check mark 😄
TIL that this is an E/N style blog I didn’t know that it was 😄 E/N stands for Everything and Nothing The content of this site means everything to the publisher (me) But it may mean nothing to some of the users (at some of the times) Quoting from the origin site The website’s author covers a myriad of topics. It’s not narrowly focused. The author writes about everything or at least everything that’s important to the author.

The other day, I had to look the syntax for begin_src - which is just 3 ticks in markdown. So I checked to see if there are note taking packages in emacs that support taking notes in markdown, and thus I came across denote

I’ve been programming in Ruby for almost an year now (Mostly Rails, which I can’t say I like - too much magic) TBH, speed of interpreted language has not been an issue (I worked in python for quite some time before Ruby) but Crystal also comes with statically inferred types. Since it is a compiled language - bunch of errors maybe caught at compile time, rather than at run-time.
