Last week, while going through the HTTP status codes I found a teapot ๐Ÿ˜.

The client error response code 418, seems to be introduced as an April fools joke ๐Ÿ˜.

418 I'm a teapot

Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code "418 I'm a teapot". The resulting entity body MAY be short and stout.

If you're looking for a quick cup of tea, head here to Google servers will serve you a cup of tea ๐Ÿ˜.

click the teapot on desktop or tilt your phone to the left icon left tilt phone to serve tea!

I was sitting out at my balcony on a clear evening sky, just gazing at the sky looking at the bright starts. I noticed a moving bright ligth in the sky and disappeared at the end of the horizon, was it a moving star, it got me curious.

It turned out to be the ISS International Space Station, the station is visible as it orbits the earth at an average altitude of 400km, Its almost the size of a football field link

The good part is that you don't need to keep looking at the sky in randomness to spot the station that could take forever ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. The website - Spot the station https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/ allows you to signup for notification about the time and date of fly by. The website also has live map of the station

The notification will have details of duration of visibilty and direction of the station's appearance and disappearance as shown below. use a compass (mobile app should be good enough) to know the direction.

Next time you look at a bright light beaming through the sky, it's most likely the International Space Station โค๏ธ

Start Bloggingโ€‹

There is a voice in my head that keeps telling me to start blogging.

It was a long time ago when I decided to start a blog and every time I wanted to do it, I couldn't quite master the ability to start. Putting it off for sometime later, was my excuse.

The only way to start a blog is by just starting, It need not be great, need not be good, its a step towards progress.

So here we go.. I am happy to share my thoughts..

Cheers !!

Happy blogging !!
