I spent most of the July 4th weekend playing with my home server, and also moving all my domain names to a new hosting company/registrar. This re-kindled my memory for the fondness of tweaking with technology and also the urge for rebooting my blog.

Facebook, twitter and other social media outlets have lost their charm (for me) and I have almost completely stopped visiting these sites. The number of “Friends” and “Followers” on these sites makes the experience very public and not personal at all. I much prefer to have a fewer set of friends and family see what I am doing and limit access to my photos and activities where possible from the internet.

Here’s to hoping that the fourth try at making a general blog sticks. The plan is to write technical postings on topics that may not interest anyone but techies. All personal activity updates and photos will likely go to Google+ or a password protected photo sharing tool (not sure I want to host this myself, but may do so as a project over a long weekend).
