You can never give up and stop learning. In this post I will describe how I installed Hadoop and the issues I encountered. Continue reading “Issues while Installing Hadoop on Windows”

Crash Course in Python – Part II
It is Friday. Many stressful things are happening in different fronts in the past few months. Most of the things are out of my control. It seems like I need to find a way to relax.

I read the first five chapters that I was interested it at the time and moved on to the next book. Continue reading “Crash Course in Python – Part I”

Castor Framework
My wife and I are going to attend a wedding on July 5th. I am going to wear black dress shoes. A week or so ago while at Nordstrom’s at the MOA I was going to get a pair of shoes for the occasion. My wife mentioned that I have a pair of never worn black shoes still in their box. This morning, my wife gave me the shoes. I decided to wear them at home for a few days in order to make them mold to my feet. Seems like most of the times I wear new shoes I get blisters on my feet. I am the type of person that wears thick socks even when wearing sandals. Will see how things went after the wedding. Continue reading “Castor Framework”
