Hello there! My name is Ravi. This is my corner on the world wide web. There are many like it, but this one is mine. And it reflects my eclectic collection of thoughts, hobbies, and activities.
I used to have free time, lots of free time. I used that time to work on a variety of geeky, nerdy activities and blog about them. Ranging in topics from technology to philosophy. Well written summaries to poorly written junk. It is all right here.
Did I mention I used to have free time? Movies was a big pastime during that period and here are a collection of movie reviews from that time. Accompanied with bright movie posters.
I love to write. When the thoughts count more than words, you will see me heading over to my blog. But when the structure and words count just as much as thoughts, I usually write an article, poem, piece of fiction or a travelogue.
In early 2021, our family discovered a card game called “War”. Watching the game I figured it would be good to just watch the game without mechanically doing the steps. So built out a simulator with HTML and Javascript.
I was not great with solving Sudoku puzzles by hand. I wrote a brute-force method, but failed. This is my second attempt at using a standard recursive algorithm.
Infix and postfix expressions were my first serious algorithms. I've always wanted to actually implement them without all the 'do it by hand' business. This is an attempt.
A hangman (and Wheel of Fortune) based word and phrase guessing game. A simple game to practice guessing.
Everyone wants to play Wordle. But you need to wait a whole day for the next game. What if you did not have to? Built this by borrowing the look and feel + word lists from Wordle. The logic implementation is all mine.
