        This is my first blog post after getting my new thinkpad, My macbook died, :(
        Yesterday was my CAT 1 exam of Microprocessors and Microcontrollers.
        I hope I did well :P, as this is my re-registered course, this time it did ignite my interest in the
        subject,
        I do hope I score well. I have also planned to build a custom table clock using a Microcontroller.
        It would be a cool thing to build.
        Happy independence day to all my fellow <span style="color: #FF9933;">in</span><span

        i'll leave home on 4th of july, this time holidays were for 2 months, i dont think i would ever have such
        long holidays.
        i've really enjoyed being home this summer.

      <p>In order to improve, you first have to understand what's wrong with you. Only then can you start working on
        it.
        I rarely get motivated by people, but recently I came across <a href="https://bradfitz.com/"><span
            class="term"
            data-tooltip="Brad Fitzpatrick: prominent open-source software engineer, creator of LiveJournal, Memcached, OpenID, and core Go contributor.">Brad
            Fitzpatrick</span></a>, and he genuinely inspired me.
        Looking at what he's built and achieved makes me want to build more, learn more, and constantly improve my
        own work.
        So I'm starting a new series. I'll be building tools completely from scratch, taking the time to understand
        the underlying concepts and principles behind each one instead of just making them work. My motive isn't to
        collect
        projects, it's to become a better engineer. I've put together a [not-so] curated list of tools I want to
        build, and
        I'm planning to work through them one by one. I'll probably write about the process and what I learn here as
        well.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I built this site to make myself feel that i am leaving some of my imprints behind.</p>
      <p>It makes me feel good. also one of my motives was to bring back old days of blogging.
        People used to make their own simple, plain sites, and then they used to post blogs on them.
        It was a nice thing, and i kind of wanted to be a part of it,
        well i born too late for that, but i think time is just an illusion, so here iam, making a blog.
        I wonder how many people will read this, if anybody.</p>]]></description>
