About ramg

I'm Ram Iyer.

I've worked in tech for a number of years and took a break to do something different. I wrote a novel:

https://www.amazon.com/Retribution-Ram-Iyer-ebook/dp/B09VP2L2GR/

and am working on a second novel. If you do read any of my book(s) feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or want to provide feedback. Heck, if you want to embark on your own writing, I'm happy to share what I've learned.

    Does the Monument device have the option to share albums/folders across the Internet? Do I need to open a hole in my firewall for this? Edit: I've reached out to the Monument team …

    Did I read that right? You have no other woodworking tools? edit: and if I did read it right, share some of your woodworking projects!

    Your rock climbing post was not fun to read and scared the crap out of me :-( I'm sorry that it happened to you. I enjoy your writing style!

    This is not helpful. Why not suggest a more appropriate workflow without the chastising or denigration? C'mon, you can be supportive.

    I like this idea! Thanks for sharing. Will I be able to point it at any podcast? The ones I saw look interesting but are not what I normally listen to. I assume you can take any au…

    What is the camera mounted on? Do you have a picture of the setup?

    We use gcc/javac/etc almost daily and having some understanding of what your toolchain is likely to be very beneficial. Here are a few things I've done with my compiler knowledge: …

    I like to know how much incremental disk space I'm using so I have a series of scripts that tell me the files which have been deleted/added and outputs to get the sum (yes, I know …

    This is really cool. I use 'bc' in a small script that I run almost daily.

    Ok. You convinced me to update my profile. I'm mostly a lurker on HN and now I feel like I should contribute more.

    I wrote a novel (action / psychological thriller). Second book is again a thriller but with time-travel, but it isn't sci-fi. I haven't tried writing science fiction but enjoy read…

    Can you talk about your two books? Fiction, non-fiction? Genre. I'm always curious to know more about successful writers and what they did - even if I'm not wired to do the same. I…

    I've now self-published one book and have started a second. I haven't made enough money to even pay for the cover art! But I'm doing this for myself and if it results in a back cat…

    I wonder if you and I read the same series. https://www.amazon.com/Not-Gentle-Book-One-Discovery-ebook/d... Mark's writing style really pulled me in and I'm bummed he didn't finish…

    I self-published my first (and only so far) novel last year. It's an amazing feeling when you see your printed book. I still sometimes wonder to myself, "did I really do that?" I w…

    John, thanks for the detailed write-up. Much appreciated. Unfortunately, they are out of stock now. I have the tab pinned and will refresh it daily until it's available. Did you or…

    Pinecil: Would you recommend this if the soldering job were more than just a few wires (e.g. circuit assembly)? I've had a couple of cordless soldering irons in the past and they w…

    I published my book via Scrivener - both print and ebook. I'll admit it wasn't straightforward but once I "learned" it, I saved that away as a template for my next book. There's a …

    I'm very surprised that this submission didn't get any traction. Google and Meta will fight this, of course, and their lobbyists may be able to help. I do wonder if we've reached a…
