I got a book!

without comments

Okay so this guy from FedEx calls me up.

“Sir”, he calls me (immediately kindling my interest ;) ), “You have a package from the States”.
“Ah! yes. I’ve been expecting it.”, I shout happily.

My friends Jerry and Pradeep came along with me to the local FedEx office. They gave me a book shaped package tightly bound in a white, synthetic, plastic-like cover.

Yes, I knew it was a book!.

Google had sent me a gift to congratulate me on my acceptance into the Google Summer of Code Programme.

I hastily unwrapped the package and showed off my book to my pals with a huge smile on my face.

I had been sent ‘Beautiful Code’ from O’REILLY.

I held it up proudly. This was proof of a dream come true. :)

Go Neko……

Check this out.

Pyneko -cat out of the bag.

It is a project initiated by my guru Pramode.C.E to teach programming innovatively. The project is just in its first-steps stage. The current version that will be available to you all will require python running from a terminal controlling actions of neko using built in functions.

It should look something like this:

It occurred to me that it was quite a drag to have to write code in one window and watch your cat run around in another. I decided to muffle the grumbling and integrate to the UI provisions to write and edit code for neko, run single commands and watch neko perform, all within the same window, complete with a skeleton help index and tutorial.

The newer version will soon be available as soon as I’m sure that the code will meet with Sir’s approval.

Meanwhile, try putting neko through its paces, and rest assured that it will be cured. :)
