https://njs.com.np I started writing about security but eventually started blogging in my own company’s resources/blog so there’s not much. After around a decade of plain simple site, I settled with Wordpress and also wrote about why I did that here. https://njs.com.np/uncategorized/why-wordpress/

I used to run this on wordpress when it was first released. Built a few terrible looking themes for it too. This was a redesign from that time. It was doing using the YUI toolkit. Phones were not a thing then so I didn't consider that. Many of the ideas were taken from snippets of CSS Zen Garden. It's generated using Jekyll and has disqus for comments. I wrote an emacs mode https://github.com/nibrahim/Hyde to manage the blog. Much of the content is outdated. I don't actively blog anymore.

This is hosted on a shared hosting service called hcoop which I got onto in 2001 or so and have been on ever since. The domains were registered on an Indian registrar (net4) which went under and I migrated them to namecheap a month or two ago.

Built my website as a fun project over the holidays and experimented a little with fun to use UI/UX elements while trying to preserve as much backwards compatibility as possible.

Copy/paste uses markdown, which is used to generate the static site, print stylesheets, responsive layout, an interactive avatar, a crypto scavenger hunt, konami code, zerg rush, and works without javascript or even in old browsers like links/lynx. CV uses web crypto api to preserve secrecy etc.

Wanted to maybe build a little OWASP CTF for it at some point, too...

I’ve been blogging since 2004 and the site has been hosted in LiveJournal, Blogger, brief experiment on Medium, Jekyll on GitHub Pages, and now Hugo on GitHub Pages as well (but planning to go to Netlifly).

And because I see people talking about personal projects as well, I’ll also mention https://endbasic.dev/ which is also “a website” and is keeping my early mornings quite busy :)
