# Weekly Notes 33/2026

I ended the Netflix subscription. We have not been using it for a long time, and we were just paying; finally, this month I ended it. [Sleep has won](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/apr/18/netflix-competitor-sleep-uber-facebook) for me. If required, I can subscribe again. We still have Amazon Prime, mostly because of the free shipping it provides. That said, in general my online shopping has also come down. I need to take a look at all my digital subscriptions.

- I have been using
[Tau](https://twotimespi.dev/)by HF as the coding agent. It’s very simple but has been very good. It’s just enough. This one is different from[Tau by dpc](https://tau-agent.dev/), which also looks good. I am yet to try it. It’s on my list to try. Work in general has been good, and I am happy about the progress I have been making. - They have started digging everywhere in Bangalore. Almost all the roads around our home have been dug up. I can see the work is getting done, but I don’t know why they had to do it on all roads at once. Now it’s an adventure ride to Uma’s school every day.
- These days, every Tuesday is a cupcake Tuesday for Uma. We stop at Cafe Da Costa Bakery on our way back from school.
- Saturday has become the rest day. Originally, I wanted to do a longer run on Saturdays, but it has not happened yet. Sunday was also mostly a rest day as it rained when I started running. Bangalore rains are unpredictable. So I immediately stopped and returned home. As usual, I did two P.T sessions during the week. I also started logging the main part of the workout on Strava for later reference and to measure progress. I also have a reliable partner to play now, so we played two games. I couldn’t run today as I was driving back home :( I do recognize that I can dedicate an hour each day to physical activity because I work mostly from home and save my commute time. A couple of months back, I got a
[pull-up bar](https://thejeshgn.com/sportneer_pull_up_bar/)for a door frame. Until now, it has been used mostly by Uma and me for dead hangs. This week I was able to do two proper pull-ups at home. I have been practicing assisted pull-ups during P.Ts, so it’s not a surprise. That said, I have not yet reached the[goal (WN 23/2026) of 3 proper pull-ups](https://thejeshgn.com/2026/06/05/weekly-notes-23-2026/). - I had an interesting conversation with Abhishek from
[OpenConsultancy](https://openconsultancy.xyz/)about Frappe and related products. I know about[Frappe](https://frappe.io/); I have used their libraries but not their main product. But it was good to catch up with Abhishek and learn more from a fellow FOSS enthusiast. - Tomorrow is a holiday, so only one class this week. I left at the wrong time today. At 5pm and it took me 3 hours to reach home :( that’s why no run.
- Appa was here over the weekend for his dental treatment. My dental treatment is almost done! Maybe two more months :(
- I have this book,
[Coders at Work](https://codersatwork.com/). I was wondering: with AI and agents, does it still make sense? It makes more sense than ever. Get a copy or borrow from me. I have a hard copy. You would have seen GPX/Map animation videos in my previous blog posts; those are created using a FOSS tool called[GPX Animator](https://gpx-animator.app/). It has lots of features to explore.
