The post about the blog

Sunday, March 16th, 2008 by Ari

When I first started my website, I bought the domain www.angelsofsecurity.com with the intention of it being an information security focused site. I initially wanted to stay anonymous, using only my first name on the site, and I even kept the content outside of the blog updated for the first few months. (This is when I was in grad school and had the time). The blog ended up being more personal than I originally intended, the content updates lapsed, and since only my friends were reading it, anonymity became an afterthought. When I was getting married a few years ago I pointed the web domain www.elias-bachrach.com (which I had previously only used for email forwarding), at my site and created a wedding directory. This way I could have wedding related content on the www.elias-bachrach.com domain. The unforseen consequence of this was that I had now merged my personal website and what was initially supposed to be my professional one. That problem has now been rectified. Over here at www.elias-bachrach.com I have a family webpage replete with pictures and have moved the blog over. The blog will also be getting a new contributor as Rebecca will begin blogging soon. (We’ll see how long she goes before she tires of it). Angelsofsecurity will become what it was originally supposed to be – a site focused on information security. I probably still won’t be updating the content, but I will at least have the blog.

At this point the move is done. I have a little work to do still on making the formatting and fonts on the main part of the site consistent and readable, and many of the blog posts did not convert properly, but the latter issue at least is of low priority.

I’ve also used this opportunity to do some housecleaning. I’ve integrated my flickr stream with the blog (as you can see on the right), and cleaned out a lot of the links to old blogs that were no longer functional. The comics page (since I know at least a few people other than myself read it despite the fact that it was never mentioned anywhere in print), has been moved to the www.elias-bachrach.com domain, so if you accessed it at angelsofsecurity.com, you should start reading it here.
