The Site is rewritten in Hugo

It’s been quite a journey—starting with the original website in Text and Geocities, then moving to HTML, PHP, and static HTML. Now, we’re back to Text. Full circle! This site is now powered by Hugo. Maybe one day, the blog will move to Markdown. Give it a try!

Blog has migrated to Medium

I wasn’t updating my old blog in a while, so I realized that I needed to clean the cobwebs and move it to something current. So I decided to move my content - Now it is served by Medium. My new blog is blog.karthikkumar.org.

Website is now on TLS and Cloudflare

I’ve been using Cloudflare as my host for a while now, and it’s been great. They offer DDoS protection, CDN/Edge caching, and TLS—even on their free plan. I highly recommend giving it a try. As for the .ORG domain, I’m still deciding whether to keep it, since it was sold to a for-profit company. Yikes!

Goodies!

Mom and Grandmom came to visit me. We went to Jaipur in the weekend and had a great \o/ time… After a while, I have uploaded some code today: An AJAX based online voting application, a tiny brainfuck interpreter, a JSON serializer, a JDBC configuration framework and a color cycling lines application; All available in this page. Eventually i’ll come up with a better way to organize my stuff, with versioning, upgrade and platform information.
