Here i’m doing another recording using iPad app, being all alone at home. I’m rambling about how the month of January 2018 past by for me. By no means this is again no great quality of podcasting.
Here I’m my second attempt learning to produce podcasts. I recorded this while sitting in my favourite spot in the couch at home short while back. As I said while recording, I have to admit I’m no where near in production of good quality podcasts. Not yet at least. This time around, I used ear-phones that came with my Galaxy S7 for recording. After converting mp4 file to mp3 on the smartphone, instead of emailing; I uploaded the file to Google Drive, from where I picked up on the iPad to upload here.
I captured this quote from a recent article appeared in HBR, by Annie McKnee. 
Question is Will I ever be able to get there…?
I think, 10C and the technology available to us is truly amazing. Earlier this afternoon, I recorded a less than one minute podcast using my phone’s voice recorder while driving. Well, actually I pulled the car to curb side and stopped. When I got home, I converted the mp4 file to mp3 using a file converter app and email it to my self on Newton app on the phone. Then I switched to my iPad and accessed the emailed file from Newton app on iPad. Saved the file to iCloud Drive before uploading it to one of my other private blog sites here on 10C. Beside, emailing part, the entire process was seamless, which is truly amazing
About two years back I wrote about this 2016 being the first year of the new team was appointed, the team has been active and there were quite a few interesting activities organised by the team. I also was inspired and motivated to get involved in most of those activities. Come, 2017, it begun to fade my motivation in getting involved as I did in the previous year. Beside, in terms of activities, there wasn't much either.
When it was announced a couple of weeks ago, that elections are due to select a new service team, I made a decision not to be included this time around. I did not feel like that I have the motivation and inspiration to serve. I emailed about my decision to the core Team and politely requested them to remove my name from the list. However, I sent in my votes for 7 memeber Team, naming those people, who are spiritually be able to contribute and serve the Lord much much better than me. I’m pleased that all the people whom I voted were selected. I wish them god’s blessings in their roles!
It was one of Mrs's girl friends' half century party with a ? theme. 
Inspired by Jason's DDM podcast, a few days ago I asked Jason about the basics of getting a podcast recorded and uploaded here. So, here I'm my very first podcast attempt while on the move this morning in the Flight Kitchen. I have to admit, this is very low standard, so please don't listen. I'm sure, over time I will improve. At this stage I am curous about how will this come up on the site :)
Since last couple of weeks, I had removed Apple smart keyboard cover from iPad Pro because it started to act funny in most cases it did not function. It also has allowed me to make use of my i Pad in portrait mode more often ever before.This is also a good thing, in that I am using my Apple Pencil more,not only with Note taking apps; but also with Myscript Stylus 1 APP, that replace the virtual keyboard and convert my handwriting to text. The beauty, it works with any email app and also web interface, if I want to write any text.
Right now, I am writing this very blog post using My script stylus A P P and my Apple pencil directly onto 10C blog interface on the web. How cool is that?
Alternative for virtual keyboard on iPad
Christmas lunch at Niranjan & Priyanga's place on December 22nd, just before we returned back to old home town. It was good fun to being able to bond with extended family.
