Hi all, I decided to try and write again.

Instead of using WordPress, I am trying out Ghost, a nice and lighter platform. I've also decided to self host since ostensibly it requires less maintenance compared to WordPress.

The last time that I seriously wrote was probably just before starting work. I want to get into this habit again both to chronicle life as well as to express gratitude for the things that we have. I may also write commentaries on topics that are of of interest to me.

In a sense it is returning full circle. I used to use "b2" self-hosted, and b2 was the predecessor to WordPress. I had to tinker with mySQL - no fun at all! Now with docker and SQLite, it's easier although some troubleshooting is still required.

As with many things, I hope that the technical interest to set up this new journal also serves as motivation to do the actual writing.

Here is to more musings and writings!
