Actually I am currently not looking as I am backpacking :)

I am just exploring the OpenCV library for fun things to do and in the process documenting simpler and smaller stuff for my reference. I do plan to have a follow up post that will automatically find the corners!

Yes, Indeed that’s the direction I am heading towards, but I am initially starting with simple posts to keep the flow ( for myself) and also easier for people to notice the simplicity of openCV.

I will update it with the intermediate step!

“or when the vehicle battery dies. That last scenario was the one my family and I found ourselves in, though we did not know it at the time.”

Also, plan to soon start photoblogging about my travels.

You should gain more experience in programming before quitting your job.

Instead, during your free time implement one of your ideas and break down the feature set into a simple MVP. Come with a timeline, implement, learn, and see if you can stick with the plan. Once you end up building the product, next you will have to work on finding users (sales, marketing) and convincing them to keep using your product and pay for it.

If you have persevered for this long and also maintained your job, you really have the passion and discipline needed to build on your vision. A lot of times I have noticed my friends (FAANG) talk about various idea, get excited for a day/week but never build it out.

PS: I quit (ex-FAANG) a few years ago to travel, relax, learn foreign languages and now currently working on some SAAS side projects. My 2 cents, you need to have a lot discipline along with tons of motivation, and inspiration to keep fueling the energy to work on your ideas.

Yes, on my iPhone as well!

PS: I am also constantly learning new technologies in AI/ML/NLP/Alexa/Google Assistant/AWS/GCP etc as I find those fun :)

Hi Adora, This is awesome. I just applied for it. How many hours of lectures will we have in a week? As it’s an online course - do you recommend being in one physical location/geography?

You should expect a minimum 3-hour commitment a week: roughly 2 hours of lectures and 1 hour of group office hours. Lectures you can watch at your own leisure.

As for location/geography, as long as you have a device with internet access you can be wherever works best for you. We'll do our best to align timezones so scheduling is easier for you and your group during the course.

Thanks sandslash!

I actually met a friend of mines recently and unfortunately due to a head injury lost his ability of smell. The doctor’s didn’t realize it and neither did he for quite while till one day he got sick eating fish from his refrigerator that was stale and he couldn’t figure out. So, it definitely plays an important role. On the positive side he doesn't detect any bad odors, but that means he wouldn’t know he is stinking either. He makes sure he is well cologned/deodorant-ized :) Also, he misses the smell of delicious food and other good things!

It says a lot about your friend that he didn’t notice he’d loss his ability to smell!!! Not a man who cooks or drinks wine or beer?
