Back
I decided to get myself a new host, instead of my ill conceived plans of ditching the site altogether. I realized how much I missed it all after this site went down last week.
During this time, I realized that these are also the times that stand through. It was heartening to see friends setting-up a mailing list, recommending alternate hosts, offer server space, provide helpful tips about certain hosts, so I could continue writing.
To me, this is most rewarding. The thought that you would be missed is—like the Mastercard ad—”priceless”. To all friends, you know who you are. A humble note of thanks for the care.
My new host is Site5. The older posts you see here are those that were written during my absence from this domain.
I would like to welcome you back—dear reader—to join me in my eternal quest of life, dreams, technology, perfection, rhythm and melody.
As predicted. Good to have you back!

Remind me not to believe you when you threaten to quit next time.

No, I wasn’t threatening (why would I, and who would care anyway). It was more of a frustration. To see the cruft coming in via a compromised server. The phishing stuff was annoying as well as scary. My site was becoming an involuntary host to phishing attacks and I couldn’t control it. For a moment, I thought it wasn’t worth continuing because of the implications.
May 16, 06 at 00:11I think we all know the answer to the second part of that question. Welcome back.
