Update: Changes here and there

If you visited this website more than once last week, you would have met a completely different website on each visit.

Life, indeed, has been twisting me in all directions over the past two years — and this website, my principal medium of expression, has loyally been following along in each new direction I turn.

I’d like to thank all of you my regular and long time readers and friends who have stood by me all through it all. Here are a couple of updates:

For some really long term plans (long term = few weeks down the line!)… I’ve moved the blog (which will henceforth be called the journal :-) ) away from the homepage into a sub-directory — http://GeorgeAppiah.com/journal/. But no sweat … everything is tightly integrated, and there are links on both the top horizontal menu and on the left sidebar to take you there.

I’ve also drastically reduced the “blogging load” on me. I’ve sold off most of the blogs I’ve been authoring for some sweet little bucks, and I’ve given away others as gifts. Over the past 3 years, I’ve authored and sold (or abandoned) blogs spanning such vast topics as renewable energy, nude art, wifi, lucid dreaming, web development, country music, digital photography, computer history, fairy tales, oh my!

Anyway, I’m currently focused on two primary websites, which I’m going to turn into a real business to support my intended nomadic life. Here they are:

  1. http://www.Ghana-Travel-Guide.com: I don’t need to explain what this is about. Do I?
  2. http://www.GeorgeAppiah.com: In addition to this blog (which is going to get a lot more attention from this point on), I’m building lots of practical, how-to tech guides to help you wonderful folks out there. More about that later.

If you visit these two websites, you’ll observe they both spot the same basic layout and design. That’s by choice. I’m in the process of registering an LLC in Delaware, US. Why am I registering a business in US and not in Ghana where I live? Let’s reserve that for a series of posts later on :-)

And it seems I still love hacking cellular networks, and I’m likely going to take a second Masters degree in wireless communication engineering this autumn at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden. Yes… tuition is completely free, but sorry… deadline for admission into Swedish public universities was the first of February.

More updates later. Love you all.
