weekly notes 24 2025
As summer is here, the days are long. We are going to nearby park in most of the evenings.
Viyan started to play basket ball. I am also learning it along with him.
Got a kids guitar for him. He started to practise it daily.
On Last saturday saturday, Tamil classes concluded for kids, for this academic year. In this month end, we will get 2 months holidays for kids. There will be more outdoor, park, library visits.
TossConf25 ( Tamil Open Source Conference) is happening next month. July 18,19 2025 at St. Joseph’s Institute of Technology, Chennai. Dont miss it if you are in or around chennai.
Interesting talks and workshops are planned. Book your ticket now here – https://TossConf25.kaniyam.com Thanks for the organizing team for the awesome efforts.
I am collecting huge tamil corpus from around 200+ websites daily. Getting content from RSS feeds are easier than scrapping. But need patience to build the huge text content daily. From 200+ websites, getting around 10 MB text content daily. Colelcting the new words and frequently used words, to build the base
of tamil spellchecker.
I am thinking of hosting one more FreshRSS instance with all these RSS news feeds.
We can read adfree news with RSS Feeds.
On exploring the news websites, found the below things
- Too many advertisements. Signal to Noise ratio is too high. We will lose interesting reading with this high amount of advertisements.
- Many websites dont provide RSS feeds. The custom platforms they use dont have RSS feed feature.
- For few of the wordpress websites, the admin disabled RSS feeds.
- Few site feeds provide only headings on the feeds.
- Cloudflare prevents feeds to be read by any feed reader, except the browser.
- Many writers have their websites, but not writing there frequently. But so active on social media.
They should atleast keep a copy on their websites,blogs.Used the below plugin to get the RSS feed link from the websites. – Rsshub Radar – https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rsshub-radar/kefjpfngnndepjbopdmoebkipbgkggaa
Sad to see that Google is showing only 7-8 pages of text content websites. After that, for all queries, we are getting only youtube video links. Whatever we write, google will show only form the mainstream websites.
I am reading more about the copyrights and Rss feeds.
Is it fine to get the full text rss feed and open them all to the public for free reading?
It will be super good to read text without any advertisements, banners, popups, and distractions.
But, the copyright is tricky here. Writers will agree to send their content via email for subscribers, via RSS feed for any personal feed readers. But, may not agree for public feed aggregators.
is it okey to give login credentials for users, to read the content?
I will check with few friends and mentors on what they think.
Reply here on what you are thinking on this.
Here is a screenshot of freshrss shows content from various websites.

Work is going super busy with many new activities. Lot of new learnings on AWS and networking.
Published a video by Nithya on “Basics of IT” in tamil. Watch it here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7sMgZZw0CY
Slowly building local tech community. There are many neighbours interested in learnig tech things.
Will do a python workshop for adults.
Will plan for few tech trainings for kids in the upcoming summer break.
Achutha, nithya’s friend is going to give a demo on azure pipeline this saturday evening.
How are you learning new things? If you have any tech people around you, how are you creating a community of learning together? Share your thoughts.

> It was mostly kids and me at home this week. Managing full-time work, kids, and housework by myself was tough. Four kids (okay, one human toddler, a parent, and two pets) are a handful, even when you have regular support.

> NMG/2025 results are out. It took me a while to go through the applications this time. But finally I sat down and closed. There are some emails and follow-ups left; otherwise, it's done. I'm pleased with how this year's grant turned out and the number of people who participated. #weeklynotes
