New Computer

Happy New Computer (To me!) Finally it was time to get a new computer as the old one was not working any longer for my needs and about a month ago passed away with a broken Graphic Card. After saving a few $$$ and considering my budget I got a good balance of power-computer and price. Here is configuration of my new computer (Click on images to see full size): ...

What I have, and am busy with

Hey Folks Maybe you have noticed that Iā€™ve been less active here in my forum and there are some reasons for that! Over last 2 months (or maybe 3) Iā€™ve been busy with several stuff and on top of them with my website, so here is what Iā€™ve done so far or what I am going to do: I got my own hosting. [Done] Moved my website from Google Sites to my own hosting. [In Progress ā€“ some pages are left to move, some out-dated content] Moved TechBlog from Blogger to my own hosting. [Done] Moved LifeBlog (yeah, you are reading it now!) from Blogger to my own hosting. [Done] Moved EntBlog from WordPress to my own hosting and started posting again after years. [Done] Moved Forum to my own hosting. [In Progress ā€“ needs a new look, need to link accounts with QnA] Started QnA. [In Progress ā€“ needs a new look, need to link accounts with forum] Started Support Center with Email Piping support. [Done] Translating the site into Persian [My native language]. [In Progress ā€“ 150 pages are left] Translating the site into German. [To-do] It is not easy to move from one to another platform without losing contents to without breaking links, so I had to do so much coding and writing lots of custom scripts to extract old contents and import them into new platforms. Also even though Iā€™m done moving blogs or sites or starting the new systems, still there are a lot of under-the-hood changes and works that should be done. e.g. Forum needs a new look to match the new site theme, QnA too, oh, and since Iā€™m hosting the blogs and site etc myself, I need to make sure my sites are secure, stable and fast and those maintenance needs time too. And I donā€™t have a team, so working on all of these stuff needs time. ...

And ā€œA2ā€ is passed

Stuff that changed many things for me, and these changes cannot be undone, and I donā€™t want them to be undone. I will play it, I will take it and deal with it. Letā€™s see what happens. ...
