The Procrastinator's Affair

As the words embed themselves on the paper, I must confess, I've been meaning to voice my thoughts through ink for quite some time but alas, I remain as lazy as ever.

I commence now, with my Procrastinator's Affair -- an affair not-so-sought after, atleast by myself.
I fell in love with Passing Time. Oh! How so thrilling it had been! It wasn't long until it moved in with me. Yet, it soon bode me unwell. It became my sole company, and its'.
I stayed,relentlessly staring, glaring into the void of Nothingness and somehow, that became our golden age.
My former lovers sat, unopened, warmed by the dust that clothed them, on my desk.
Reading! Out of question! New authors rise everyday don't they!? And also, one must understand -- what with the coming of the New Age -- that TEXTING is also a literary art, as for a while I thought it to be one too.
But now I've realised that I mustn't embrace that spiteful lover but instead must dwell deeper into those pages of knowledge, wisdom and art -- which waited patiently till now, for their spines to be cracked open and their words to be cherished.
I have a resolution : ink shall flow more than ever now, so much that I wish to see it do so from the tips of my fingers! Elegant scrawl is yet not a compliment and thus it shan't ever become one.
Maybe -- just a possibility of a might, I foresee a future too brightly lit with many a glowing candle. Nevertheless, one should understand before he lighted it, that candles burn and do not glow.

Context Last year, I read a book called "How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning, and Thinking – for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers" by Sönke Ahrens to improve my writing and notetaking skills. This blog post is meant for anyone who has never heard the word "Zettlekasten" or "Commonplace Notebook", and wants to get better at extracting and maintaining the information they consume. We need four tools: · Something to write with and something to write on (pen and paper will do) · A reference management system (the best programs are free) · The slip-box (the best program is free) · An editor (whatever works best for you: very good ones are free) — Sönke Ahrens ...

How to: Quantum

As a continuation of the last post ( Newer Horizons Indeed ), this post will serve as a list of resources that are useful to study the basics of Quantum Computing, a few events that I personally enjoy tuning in to, and a general update about the Qiskit Summer School and the Qiskit Advocate Program. Resources for Learning These articles are a cornucopia of wonderful resources (such as John Preskill's lecture notes ) on how to get started with Quantum Computing, developing a better understanding of Quantum Mechanics, as well as some resources for pre-undergrad (so mainly highschool-level) material for students to follow. Learning Quantum Computing Entry Points for Learning Quantum Computing The following resources are ones that I have used (before I'd come across the aforementioned articles, thanks to my mentor): Quantum Computing for the Very Curious by Andy Matuschak and Michael Nielsen It's perhaps the most unconventional "textbook" I've ever used. It aims ...

Poor Richard's Journal

Fill me with your words and dreams Tell me the secrets you want to scream Write in me about what you'd like to know Draw me those places you'd want to go Let's traverse your mind, you and I Pen those scary thoughts; as I bleed and you cry Turn the page and forget them still Those memories you've buried under the mill Of your head where such thoughts are ground Into mere ink on paper browned Come later and see the story unfold A great story indeed, this story untold
