Welcome 2016

I realized only now that the previous entry on my blog was posted almost an year ago!

Looking back, a lot of good things did happen in the year of 2015 - both professionally and personally; but blogging was definitely not one of them.

This entry is basically an attempt (yet another attempt is more right) to break the shell and to start writing again - here’s hoping that there would be a lot of posts that gets added to this blog in this year!

Happy New Year !

iOS App for Malayalam Bhagavad Gita

iOS app as a Malayalam eBook on Srimad Bhagavad Gita

Published an open source iOS app last week that is a port of my earlier Android app - essentially an eBook in Malayalam on Srimad Bhagavad Gita:

Download on the App Store

The source is available on GitHub - https://github.com/floydpink/BhagavadGita-ios

As mentioned in the earlier post, this started out as an Apple iBooks project that unfortunately did not get through the Apple review system for the reason that Malayalam is not yet a supported language for iBooks.

Had fun with developing this for iOS8+ devices in Apple’s new language - Swift

Hope this would be useful for some!

Résumé

#Haridas Pachuveetil

I love Stack Overflow, probably because I am passionate about technology. Photography, music, spirituality are my other passions and all of these together makes me feel I am alive.

I try to write a little on my blog about many different things - check it out here

You could also read a little more about me at my about.me page.

Stay beautiful !


I am currently employed and not actively looking for a switch, but feel free to let me know if you have an offer that you think I cannot resist!

Android App for Malayalam Bhagavad Gita

Android app as a Malayalam eBook on Srimad Bhagavad Gita

Published a new, open source Android app last week that is essentially an eBook in Malayalam on Srimad Bhagavad Gita:

Android app on Google Play

The source is available on GitHub - https://github.com/floydpink/BhagavadGita-android

This started out as an Apple iBooks project that unfortunately did not get through the Apple review system for the reason that Malayalam is not yet a supported language for iBooks.

Planning on porting this as an iOS app for both iPhones and iPads soon.

The Story Behind Mantis CI

Mantis CI

Mobile Application for Travis CI


tl;dr: Mantis CI, is a free app (available for both iOS/Android) that attempts to be a mobile-optimized client for Travis CI. Please install them and share your feedback.

Mantis CI

For a while now, a mobile port of the Travis CI web application that I packaged as a PhoneGap app had been available for Android on Google Play.

Quite recently I managed to wrap the same HTML5 app into an iOS app as well, thanks to detailed guides at PhoneGap and a lot of good questions on StackOverflow.

It was a good experience in trying to the do similar things that worked on the Linux/Eclipse/Android on to the Mac/Xcode/iOS.

Click on the buttons above to download the app from one of the stores. Also you could find out more about the apps and get to the open source repositories etc. from here.

Below is a short (self-centric) story behind these apps. :-)
