A Return to Regularly Scheduled Programming

My last blog post on this blog was on 3 November 2023. Since then, I have been writing on another website. I did not post about it here because it was an experiment.

I am back now.

I had moved from WordPress to Blot. Blot is a service that allows you to write in an editor of your choice. You can then upload the document on Google Docs or Dropbox, and the Blot will publish it.

I had an itch to try out a service other than WordPress. I was partly impressed by the IndieWeb movement. I was in love with open source software. I was in love with simple software.

This is a post to help you catch up with what has happened since I last wrote here.

I am still living in Pune with my family. I went on two drives this year – one to Tamhini Ghat and another to Panshet Dam. I celebrated my son’s first birthday in Pune.

I had the honor of having two articles published in The Hindu – one on ISRO Chairman Dr. S Somanath’s comment on having more rockets than satellites, and a recap of space events on the occasion of National Space Day. Thanks to VM for the opportunity.

My reading has been slowing down this year. So has my listening on Audible. This implies that my writing has also been affected. My space newsletter writing has also not been regular. My work-related writing has improved after a slump in the first half of 2024. I am very happy with Q3, 2024.

I will move all the posts I wrote on the other blog to this one. I will link to them on my weekly updates so that you can read them.
