Yup, embedding this tweet so poorly is a violation of ALL principles of website design. I hear you.

The motivation for getting a personal webspace was to play with various buzzwords and technologies. But it didn't happen until fall 2009 that I started developing an interest for web programming when I wrote my first CSS powered info page for a local cultural club. Passion for learning keeps me going and I strongly believe that in this day and age, one is better off being a jack of all technologies than a master of one (worse, if it is vendor specific). Over the years, I have experimented with various programming languages like C, Java, C++, Objective-C, Ruby, Haskell, Python and Perl in varying depths, but my favorite programming langauges right now are PHP and C#. Under the current circumstances I am working with ASP .NET by the day and PHP by the night (besides acquiring new skills in CSS and jQuery). The goal is to write clean and easy-to-maintain websites, web applications and widgets where functionality and standards are given importance over cosmetics. Ideally, I want to attain a level where any website or app I write comes across as elegant and reliable. I also enjoy writing technical documents (that's right, I enjoy documentation)... you know, things like tutorials, user guides, design documents, coding standards etc. My blog has a few samples.
About me
Since this is my personal website, I will take the opportunity to yack a bit about myself... I was born and raised in Kolkata (Calcutta), India and immigrated to Canada in Y2K.
I did my bachelor's degree from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
By profession I am an engineer and develop software for living and leisure. It's going to sound like a cliché... I dig muscle cars,
gadgets, nature travel, road trips, little bit of photography and I watch Simpsons regularly.

| I have been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for about a year now (with a few exceptions when I was in India last fall). I am not against eating meat (or maybe I am, I don't know) but I am strongly opposed to factory farming. If you are not the faint of heart, I insist that you watch this gruesome video of animal abuse in our industrialized societies. |
