The wife is all set to fly for the first time ever, and it’s going to be international! I’m sure there are tons of material already available out there, but thought I’d put together something that is more personalized; something that’s likely to make her smile, and still ensure she has a trouble-free journey. Since she’s going to be flying out of an Indian airport, there might be a couple of additional India-specific points, in an otherwise generic list.

prose.io provides a very easy to use, minimal, yet intuitive interface, allowing even people without git know-how, to easily wade through their site files and make edits, or create new posts. The separate metadata entry mechanism is nice, and the preview functionality gives one an opportunity to inspect stuff, before committing their changes/posts.

It’s been more than four years since I wrote about securing my home PC, back in India. Since then, I’ve both upgraded the operating system, and also changed the internet provider. The change of ISP also merited a change in the router, and I had not even the time to inspect the hardware, much less configure it to allow remote access, before I returned to Sweden. This meant that like earlier, I had to coax someone back home in India to help me get it done, and that someone this time around, was my wife!

My site is now at the point where I’m reasonably happy with it. I might still tinker with things, but that’ll likely be an ongoinging affair. It’s however at a point where it’s ready for actual posts, instead of lorem ipsums!

I’ve always wanted to have the ability to have separate blogs, by category, but since I don’t write were frequently, and certainly not enough to justify multiple distinct blogs, I gave up on the idea. When I started setting up this site, I realized that it would be easy to have multiple blogs, and still have them under the same system, and with a consistent theme across all of them, so it was too good to resist.
