@GoArtisanCoffee Is it possible for you to share an updated roast schedule so that I can order just before the roast day?
@GoArtisanCoffee Thanks, that explains it. Nearly a week old by the time I received it. Clearly you’re not going by flyingsquirrel.in/shipping
@GoArtisanCoffee Reason I raised it is because the coffee did not bloom well. So more interested in knowing when was it roasted.

@atti_cus Not hinting that. People won’t do that by themselves. There has to be an effort to nurture that culture. Reservation does the opp.
Offering seat to one in need should be a basic courtesy on public transport. Marking seats as reserved fuels exactly the opposite attitude.
A disabled requested for a seat in #DTC. Was asked to request the guy sitting on seat marked for disabled. Precisely why I hate reservation.

@arpancj It’s common to come across examples where people put in time and effort to build implementations that break the foundation.
@arpancj Most of the times I feel that businesses opt for a bad strategy because their understanding of the technology is limited.
Abhishek_Rai When journalists point out a problem, they are always right. When, they suggest a solution, they are mostly wrong.
@gonsalves_r Haha. :) @arpancj @madmanweb
@arpancj @gonsalves_r @madmanweb If anything, history only reaffirms that no scale is big enough for a new platform to storm in.
@gonsalves_r Aha, that’s a point of contention. Can imagine Google search app replacing a browser, but not these independent apps. Not yet.
@gonsalves_r Agree with desktops slowly turning irrelevant. @arpancj @madmanweb
@gonsalves_r Btw, I only say that because the reach of web is growing as fast (if not faster). Had it been a shrinking, it’d be otherwise.
@arpancj Have they? I think they should reconsider it.
@gonsalves_r @madmanweb Yes indeed.
@gonsalves_r If a sales channel creates an organisational overhead, I’d attribute it to the organisation than the channel.
@gonsalves_r From a business point of view, question is, will it cost more to serve the web than the revenue they make off it? @madmanweb
@gonsalves_r I know, which is why Amazon redirects you back to the website to make a sale.
@amitangshu @ishaparihar Just saw the first few items on the list. Now I’m hunting for a piggy-bank that’s tagged “Chemotherapy”.

@arpancj Umm, really? @gonsalves_r
@gonsalves_r But I value pixel density. @vamsee
@gonsalves_r Display space is a good to have but not deal breaker. I work more with code and rarely with tools that take up space. @vamsee
@vamsee Same one? 1080 for 27” doesn’t sound good.
@gonsalves_r Don’t doubt the display quality. To gauge physical size, stand height, optimal viewing distance etc. Haven’t worked with 27”.
@vamsee Any recommended model?
@gonsalves_r Nice. Let me see if I can take a look at the product. Wonder if any physical store would display this.
@kingslyj I’ve heard LG screen quality is inferior. Would you agree?
@gonsalves_r Haha. Okay, drop 1080 and recommend one. Will of course check Wirecutter, but at times availability here becomes a problem.
@arpancj @gonsalves_r @r0h1n @vamsee @gkjohn @madz314 @louiswu So much talk on screens. Recommend me one? Not looking for 4/5ks. 1080 works.

Just yesterday I planned my travel to Bangalore including a race in my itinerary. Today I find that they’ve changed the race date.
Bummer!
@nigelbabu The Run in the Sun folks changed the event date 14 hours back. It’s now on 19th Apr. Damn damn!
@mehulved Want to do an ultra too. But it’s a commitment that’ll impact the rest of your life. Contemplating if I can manage that.
@mehulved Oh man just go for it! Lists are for procrastinators. Though I’d like to know what else is on that list. :p @nigelbabu
@nigelbabu I hear Bangalore marathon is nice, but an experience I can vouch for is kaveritrailmarathon.com.
@nigelbabu Had done the Nehru Park one last year, so this time I’m going for runinthesun.in (in Bangalore).
@nigelbabu Yay! It’s a little difficult to reach the race start in Faridabad. If you don’t want to ride, I can pick you.
Haven’t run in a couple of weeks. Just re-realised that I only run when a tough race looms over my head.
@nigelbabu There are shorter options too. Don’t judge a webpage by its URL.
@nigelbabu There’s a Nehru Park one on Apr 12, an if you want to really challenge yourself train for this one: runningandliving.com/our-runs/gurga…
@nigelbabu Too late for which? The Faridabad one you can still join. If not 16, 8kms would be a reasonable challenge cause its on a trail.
@nigelbabu Nope. Not motivated to travel that far for a 10k. I’m running this one though: in.explara.com/beta/faridabad….
