I use Google Suite or whatever it is called these days (Google Enterprise or Google Workspace?) for my company's email. Although I would love to setup my own mail server but setting up an email server is a pain and too much hassle. May be in future. I have this Google Suite legacy free 10 user account so I don't pay for it, too be honest Google mail or Gmail is actually quite good. To create an account for someone is simple and they are up and running in minutes. I am sure in 2022 there is an Open Source email solution with these features, I need to explore. Getting back to the point.
Why am I worrying about my email going to spam?
I moved my sites from webfaction and dreamhost to my own VPS. So I don't use these shared hosting providers anything. I was very happy with their services…
There are lot of passionate people out there doing wonderful job of sharing there knowledge by making tutorial videos, writing blogs or even helping others on the community. In 2019 I started #ExpertTalks when I asked my good friend to be the first guest on channel and share his wisdom on Cloud computing, but then since 2020 there was a long lockdown here in UK and I was also a bit occupied with work, but I thought I don't have to do this ExpertTalk face to face and I resumed this series online. It makes sense to do it online but whenever possible I will surely do this in person.
In the last couple of months I was able to find time and have done few of those sessions again. I don't want to restrict myself to experts in Atlassian ecosystem but I definitely want to focus first on…
Today I upgraded my production site ravisagar.in to the latest recommended Drupal 9.3.0, the site was running on 8.8.2 which was not too far behind but I wanted to not only upgrade my site to 9 but also want to add more features. The current sparxsys.com website is on version 8.6.3 which is a bit old but instead of upgrading it to Drupal 9 I have now other plans.
Well this site has all the videos, blog posts and twitter syndications. It is an integral part of what I do personally and also at Sparxsys so I have decided to move sparxsys.com website to the same codebase. However instead of running both the sites on multisite configuration I will have the same database and shared content. This can be achieved using domain access module in Drupal which is something I did for a client in the…
Running a company is not easy, a lot goes into making a company successful. For me it is not new. I was running a company in India and now I just have to repeat those things here in UK. There are so many thing that I need to do, I can think of the following immediate tasks.
Updating company website, it needs a bit of revamp and Drupal upgrade. I need to mention all the services that we want to offer.
Make sure I spent regular time in app development. I already have 2 server apps but those needs an update and we need to work on their cloud equivalent.
Create regular video courses on YouTube.
Ensure all the company documentation, templates etc. are up to date with UK operations.
Need to find an accountancy service here in UK.
Need to promote Sparxsys services in India.…
