Hello World,<\/p>\n
I have restarted this blog after a long gap of 3 years. First my lame hosting provider went out of business without even bothering to send a notice. Then a few days after I changed hosting, all of my wordpress sites were hacked in a bulk attack which exploited some critical\u00a0vulnerability. Both of the incidents caused loss of quite a bit of data and posts.\u00a0Afterwards I was busy with new work and personal life. A very busy, funny, scary and enjoyable time period during which I felt too lazy to recover all the data and start the website again. All this while, only the homepage which is written in html was online. So the website as a whole wasn’t offline which provides some cold comfort.<\/p>\n
During the last three years, I have been to a few places, a lot of stuff has happened and a lot has changed too. Not everything needs to be documented, but a few things about the website are going to change. I used to write a bit about technical stuff, computers and network security in a seprate tech blog. Now my line of work is entirely different and I don’t have much time to try tinkering with stuff. It’s an enjoyable thing to do if you have spare time or while working in the same line and I still miss it. But I don’t think I’d have enough time to write on it anymore. So no more technical posts from now on unless something unusual happens and I will be moving whatever data I can salvage to this blog.<\/p>\n
In my spare time, I was writing some crappy horror stories. Apologies and sincere condolences to whoever read them. I don’t know If I’d ever have the courage or stupidity to do that again. There was a military story though which I was writing and stopped in between due to writer’s block. Maybe it’s time to check and see if it’s salvageable. Not high hopes though.<\/p>\n
Data from my general and defense blog is merged on this blog too. Both things still interest me a lot and I will be posting here regularly as much as I can. There have been some stuff that I wanted to write down, but without a blog didn’t. \u00a0I have been to a few interesting places \u00a0and the travelogues are not yet written. Will start it as soon as possible. I just came back from a long pending vacation to Goa and I think it will be a nice starting point while the memories are still fresh.<\/p>\n
The blog also needs a better look which will take some more time. I hope it doesn’t turn out to be tacky and complicated like last time though.<\/p>\n
Well, that’s all for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
