14:58:10 <Varun777> done Article content scraping
14:58:26 <shrini-weechat> nice Varun777 
14:58:36 <shrini-weechat> share code and sample files in git repo
14:58:38 <Varun777> writing pipelines for storing data as txt and parquet
14:58:43 <shrini-weechat> good
14:58:47 <Varun777> ok shrini
14:58:58 <shrini-weechat> sugi: good. hope you can follow that class too
14:59:26 <Varun777> mundane task here, need to learn selenium for clicking buttons
14:59:53 <Varun777> pagination not supported on theekkathir website :-(
14:59:57 <sugi> yes Shrini, let me try my level best
15:00:33 <sugi> shrini-weechat: It is cool like some quiz also there
15:00:45 <shrini-weechat> nice
15:01:07 <Varun777> sugi: which website he done quiz
15:01:14 <sugi> shrini-weechat: kahoot
15:02:02 <Varun777> shrini-weechat: suggest syed any website for quiz except kahoot
15:02:25 <sugi> Varun777: //shrini-weechat: kahoot/ sorry, this is for Varun
15:02:50 <shrini-weechat> Varun777: why so?
15:02:56 <shrini-weechat> asking to know
15:03:01 <shrini-weechat> I never used kahoot
15:03:13 <Varun777> we have to change our tabs for each question to answer, which makes time out to answer question
15:03:33 <Varun777> read question from meet, answer in kahoot
15:03:34 <sugi> Varun777: yes true
15:04:25 <Varun777> shrini: I have attended saama meet on October
15:04:41 <Varun777> they have used some website other than kahoot
15:04:48 <shrini-weechat> share the feedback in the telegram group itself
15:04:56 <shrini-weechat> so that we can find some other alternates too
15:05:15 <shrini-weechat> can you eloborate more on the issue?
15:05:19 <Varun777> I have said to syed on wednesday's meet shrini
15:05:24 <shrini-weechat> oh ok
15:05:26 <shrini-weechat> fine then
15:05:30 <sugi> shrini-weechat: Shrini, Sethu got 3rd prize in quiz 
15:05:36 <shrini-weechat> wow
15:05:38 <shrini-weechat> thats nice
15:05:42 <sugi> :)
15:05:43 <Varun777> wow
15:05:55 <Varun777> :-)
15:08:07 <shrini-weechat> if you are attending the class from computer, then, should attend the quiz from mobile
15:08:12 <shrini-weechat> so that it will be easy
15:08:28 <sugi> shrini-weechat: Good idea
15:10:29 <shrini-weechat> explore if there are any good open source alterantes for kahoot
15:10:37 <shrini-weechat> so that we can host it ourself and use
15:10:45 <shrini-weechat> if not, we can build such tool
15:13:08 <shrini-weechat> sugi: are you exploring the PDFs I shared on the techical writing?
15:13:24 <sugi> shrini-weechat: yes shrini
15:13:45 <shrini-weechat> good
15:14:12 <sugi> shrini-weechat: those files i was trying to download, but its asking to sign in.  so just directly reading
15:14:57 <sugi> shrini-weechat: But shrini, I did not prepare anything for maths aptitude, english grammar as they specified
15:14:59 <shrini-weechat> yes
15:15:33 <sugi> shrini-weechat: in short duration, aptitude preparation is possible?
15:15:43 <shrini-weechat> slideshare joined with scribd with joined with linkedin
15:15:57 <shrini-weechat> not sure what login in required there
15:16:14 <shrini-weechat> maths, aptitude needs practise
15:16:22 <sugi> shrini-irccloud: 3 days to go
15:16:25 <shrini-weechat> just search on the basics
15:16:41 <shrini-weechat> so that you can know what kind of questions will be asked in a interview
15:16:49 <sugi> shrini-weechat: OK Shrini 
15:16:57 <shrini-weechat> knowing the patterns of questions will help
15:18:01 <sugi> shrini-weechat: English Grammar, Mathematical Aptitude, 
15:18:03 <sugi> Technical Awareness questions. 
15:18:40 <sugi> shrini-weechat: Technical awareness - what they mean, like current frameworks, or technologies?
15:19:28 <shrini-weechat> recent things in tech
15:19:49 <shrini-weechat> just have some skimming on the topics

15:53:11 <sethu_payilagam> I can now feel how much I was backward when I started my career. No awareness about all these meetups and discussions? during that time
15:55:41 <shrini-weechat> in our days, very less meetups
15:55:52 <shrini-weechat> we dont have much internet to know the events too
15:57:46 <sethu_payilagam> True shrini.. but it was during the same time people like you started these initiatives/blogging etc.,.. which was great!
15:59:04 <Varun777> Much excited to meet, malaikannan, But I can't attend this weekend due to some other busy schedule
16:00:19 <shrini-weechat> ok Varun777 thats fine
