## Update - 28th of April 2020

Most entries archived from my old website have been moved to my gopher 
server(!).

Nearly a year has passed since I turned off my old website. That 
website was a platform whose sole purpose was to promote the 
publications I had carried out as Richard Falken. The failure of that 
enterprise meant that the website was no longer necessary, and was in 
fact a burden.

The old website was built using a customized version of the Bashblog(!) 
engine, a static site generator that is useful for creating minimalist 
blogs. Bashblog did a great job, and is a piece of software I recommend 
to every geek who is thinking about running his own minimalist site. 
However, since I am planning to host a podcast with the help of some 
friends, I wanted a static website generator which was able to make use 
of predesigned RSS templates and themes. I have thus switched to the 
Jekyll(!) engine.

My old domain name was a bad burden too. My Spanish folks were never 
able to enter _richard-falken.com_ in the URL bar without making lots 
of typos. The hyphen in the domain name was definitively a very bad 
idea. Therefore, I have acquired the domains _seguridadoperacional.net_ 
and _operationalsecurity.es_, which are Spanish friendly and English 
friendly, respectively.

Many articles and much content has been imported from sources other 
than my old website. These entries have been tagged with the _Archived_ 
tag.
