867I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.
I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...
Lived in: 🇱🇰🇸🇦🇺🇸🇳🇿🇸🇬🇲🇾🇦🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸🇵🇹🇶🇦🇨🇦

Rose-Ringed Parakeet
2023 03 10-11, 18 day 266-268 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off). Seven day gap in there – I was sick. Again. Because this is apparently how I roll now.
Today, I’m painting a rose-ringed parakeet. This species of parakeet is common in Sri Lanka. In fact, in one house we lived in, we had a neighborhood pack of these parakeets numbering at least 50. They loved the orchid tree we had in front of our house. They loved hanging around on the banana plants and the dead tree in the next door lot, too. I loved watching them and hearing them chatter.

King Fisher
2023-03-09 day 265 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).
I decided that today, I would do my own thing while applying the lessons from yesterday’s tutorial. Today’s subject is a king fisher. This bird was a frequent visitor to our house in Sri Lanka, so I feel a bit of affinity for the bird.
I didn’t do things exactly the same as yesterday’s digital painting, of course. Nevertheless, it is done and I’m quite happy with the results.

2023-03-07/08 day 263/264 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).
This is a watercolor tutorial by Joel Create. I like learning different techniques and styles, and I want to learn better watercolor techniques, so this was perfect.
I had fun! I want to become better at digital watercolour anyway, and Joel’s tutorials are always good. I loved painting this bird and I’m happy with the result.

Desert Sunset
2023 03 05/06 day 261/262 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).
Today is a migraine day along with tonnes of joint pain, especially in my fingers and left arm. Did I sleep wrong? Is it just that kind of day? Yeah, I dunno. It is what it is. At least the migraine isn’t that bad compared to my teenage years migraines.
This piece just did not work for me, though. I can’t get it right. So I’m taking a break and will finish another day. I’ll do another post when it’s finished. Whenever.

Palm Tree Sunset
2023-03-03/04 day 259/260 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).
Admittedly, I like sunsets and sunrises, and oceans, and palm trees. I even love the idea of life on a tropical island. I can’t handle the heat at all, though, and that is an entirely different story.
I can pretend that this is from a photo I took of the Indian Ocean from where we lived in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It isn’t, but it’s not far off at all. And it’s fairly likely I’ll do more along this theme in the future.

A digital art creation of two blue and gold macaws in-flight through the dense jungle flora. A fun avian creation where a tropical theme is desired.

Quite a few Indian movies are either political/crime thrillers or a slice-of-life/family story. Then, there are the love stories which usually occur in the intersection between the above two categories …
"Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha” (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21338696/) seemed to have all of these elements in some measure and at first, it looked like a movie that I’d really like. But as the plot progressed, it kind of bogged down in way too many plot elements that mixed in confusing ways …
I haven’t finished the movie yet, but I’ve hit the portion of the movie where just too many absurd things happen and so my guess at the moment is that this might not be one of my favourites … but I guess we’ll see once we get to the end 😛

I haven’t been posting much recently, or doing my daily #MachileLearning paper readings, since the wife and I got sick. I’m mostly recovered (the wife a bit less so) but then the month of Ramadan began, and with it, fasting.
So I’ve been taking things a bit easy and not adding more to the workload. I love reading the new stuff that’s happening in #DeepLearning and machine learning, but going through all the papers each day is time consuming and I get a little obsessive about completing stuff. So I figured it might be time to take a break while fasting 🙂
There’s a bunch of exciting things happening with LLMs and I’d like to try some experiments but that’ll probably have to wait till next month.
For the time being, I’m trying to catch up on my missed out Indian movies and there’s quite a few mini reviews that I’d like to write … and perhaps I will do a few of them as time permits?

2023-03-02 day 258 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).
This is complete experimentation on my part. I see things I would change if I were to do it again, and yet, I still like it.

2023-02-28 to 2023-03-01 day 256/257 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).
I’m not entirely happy with this, but I wasn’t making it any better, so I said enough and I’m calling it done. No doubt I’ll try this again. Later. Sometime.

From 1974 to 2003, the head of the Catholic Church in the Philippines was Cardinal Sin. When he had visitors, he greeted them with the words ‘Welcome to the house of sin’.
