Curious, I never did an #introduction post here. I'm a coder by profession, who loves to read & write. I have been a blogger for more than 15 years, but lost touch with writing when Twitter was at it’s peak for a while.
Now I work on a lot many Indie projects & write my heart out at my blog.

I have been away from the Arc browser for a while now—basically, the sidebar interface. I tried going back to it with the Zen browser, and it’s frustratingly ineffective. It’s not the best view for the tabs. Kinda limits me.

It’s long past midnight and I am still unable to go to sleep. There’s a lot of noise outside and within. I have got nice sleep music playing in my ears, but when has that helped to cut the noise within? This is rare, but I hate when this happens.
