    Recently my old laptop began to show its age, HDD was too slow, heating issues and other hardware faults. It was a Samsung NP550P5C-S02IN, which served me well for more than 8 years. So I started the hunt for its replacement. As I had moved primarily to console gaming long ago, wasn't too keen on getting a gaming laptop, gaming ability was just an additional plus point.

    Finally managed to dump the old data hosted at BlogSpirit in this new deployment of Chyrp Lite for nostalgia's sake. Posts as old as 17 years ago are now live (cringe alert!) Many older links, images might not work. Since my account at Blogspirit is long locked and the old Blog doesn't exist anymore, had to use Wayback Machine to manually scan for each old snapshot and copy/paste the old posts and dump them in the database. Things we do for backup. 😀
