Thanks for your support and encouragement ...

I had many ups and downs in the month of April. In all these, I have recieved plenty of supporting voices.

First, we had the start of Ramadan. I feel fortunate to be able to fast in this holy month. However I had to break my fast for two days because I suffered by Vertigo. Luckily I recovered very fast, thanks to ALLAH s.w.t.

As you all know, I have started taking part in the weekly challenge after rather a long break. Although I am only sharing solutions in Perl for the time being. Soon, I would start doing in Raku and Swift. Having said, I started live coding regularly in recent weeks. Please find below the links to all videos that I created last month. I use OBS Studio to create live videos. Someone recently complained about the audio quality. So I bought the Blue Microphone Snowball Ice. I noticed the audio quality was way better. Feeling brave, I started making changes to the configuration to make it even more crisper. While doing so, I broke the standard settings. I panicked. I asked for help on Twitter and within no times, I had plenty of help. After fierce fighting for a week, I got it working in the end.

There is another big news that I would like to share with you all. After nearly 9 years with NTT, I decided to move on and accepted an offer from Oleeo. I joined as Senior Perl Developer on 4th May 2021. I was fortunate to receive the grand welcome by everyone. I was plesantly surprised that so many people knew me already. I met familiar faces as well e.g. Andrew Solomon (Geekuni) and James Raspass (Code Golf). Thanks to Julien Fiegehenn, my induction went very smooth.

Any new projects in the pipeline?

Well, there are two, one in Perl and another in Python. I will share the details in the next monthly report as I am still preparing the ground.

That's it for now. Stay safe and healthy.
