There are things that I wish I could be reminded on a regular basis but I forget about it and then I am lost. I really hope this will help me remind me what's critical and not get lost in the maze of life.

My mind is restless. It just don't sleep so I thought of emptying it here.

The Music Teacher
One night I was out with my own thoughts.
I walked past posh clubs to reach where I got to be
A local bar where I was comfortable holding a beer alone
I was swaying to music and the honesty the place held
Someone later came and sat next to me
She was swaying to music like she really gets it.
I was intrigued and I was eager to talk more
I made an excuse and that was the spark that lit the fire for the night.
We spoke for hours and we spoke passionately
We spoke as if we knew each other for years
We spoke as friends who were long lost.
We spoke our heart out as if only us can understand us.
We talked about our unpleasant upbringing
And how the trauma it inflicted upon us, harmed us.
How our fathers were not kind to us
How we had to scrape the years of abuse to be where we are.
We talked about power of therapy
We talked about our privileges
We talked about inhuman medical insurance that held people hostage
We talked about how your math wizard brain can take you only so far.
We laughed on simplicity of life and how we fuck it.
She shared her fears and I shared mine
She listened more... I talked more,,,
The night came to and end.. We hugged and parted ways.

Quality of Life in Software Engineering World
Until now, I say I would say.. be able to balance work and personal life.. be able to have a free weekend with family and friends is what would constitute QoL. Well, I have learnt some lessons today.
I am working on 4 node cluster which I need to work through deployment process for all of them. Means.. run the same bunch of scripts through all 4 nodes. In my old world, I would have done it like grandfather style by going to each terminal one by one and then executing them. I can say.. a ten step would effectively be 40 steps. You will be spending N * # of Steps times the amount of time doing the same thing.
Today I discovered CSSH : Cluster Administration Tool. As usual when I first came across it, I tried and it didn't work. My first thought was, "Will get back to you later". Then, I realized that I need to finish this task before I move on to others and that made me go look back the installation steps again. I found few Perl packages where missing. I was again feeling annoyed but chugged along to get them all install one by one. When I finally got it all done, I wasn't feeling superbly great. Then I played with it for a while and suddenly realized that the tool is a great comfort and big time saver when it comes to doing the kind of task I am doing right now. My whole processing took less than 30 mins and I already feel very comfortable using it. I don't think I can go back the old model unless I am forced to.
I also learnt that even though I have to spent some time to get the QoL tool setup, this is a big saving in future. Maybe looking at it more small cost for big saving is the way to look at it. This saving of time can be employed to other task and make myself more efficient.
Enough about it now.
Bye now.

How can I say something silly?
Pay attention to mind.. it plays with you even when you have no idea. It is not you.. its someone else who is there making you do stuff your other self may not wish to do. Don't follow your thoughts blindly because it could be the other mind speaking to you at the moment :).
