A Little Lunacy!

After a year long sabbatical and a brief flirtation with photoblogging, ‘A Little Lunacy!’ has returned to its roots. What started out as a personal blog slowly faded into obscurity thanks to lack of time and effort. Several attempts were made to breathe new life into it, the latest one being a full-scale conversion into ‘The Photohblog’. Needless to say, that didn’t go too well.

So it’s back to the drawing board, back to basics and back to where it all started. Flickr will take care of the photography while this place will contain the occasional ramblings/musings of a rejuvenated blogger (can I still call myself that?).

It’s good to be back.

Ah, feels so good to be back!

The past few weeks have been quite an experience. My website went down for 3 whole days. When it finally came back online, the site was looking utterly messed up, with outdated versions of installed plugins and themes. There was no sign of the theme I had tweaked to suit my needs. Instead, I was greeted with a look that I had discarded quite some time ago. I had also lost an entire month’s worth of posts, customizations and settings.

The reason for this unplanned time-travel into the past was that my hosting provider had restored the latest backup he had of my site – which was a month and few days old. And yours truly never backed up his site once, placing all his blogging eggs into one digital basket. Unfortunately my basket err… website was one of the several thousands of websites that were floored by a 0-day vulnerability discovered in HyperVM and duly exploited by malicious minds. You can read more about it here.

Anyways, the damage had been done. I felt that the loss was too much and the blog would never be the same again. So I decided to archive it and start afresh. What followed was a frantic few days deciding what to do and how to do it. After a bit of inspiration and its implementation, this is the new face of aBHi 24×7.

That’s it for now. Explore and see how the site feels like. I’ll be detailing and explaining the logic behind the changes in a subsequent post shortly.

Like the title says, welcome to the new home of ‘A Little Lunacy!’. I finally got myself a paid hosting plan and a domain to boot. As you can see, the theme has that personal touch to it and it’s still under construction. I hope by the time I’m done with it, the blog will be better than ever before.

I’m a little busy these days in building another site for me and my two partners-in-crime. That means this theme will take a little more time to be completed. I’ll start posting regularly as soon as I complete my pending tasks. Until then, sayonara and stay safe!
