Oh, hi. You might remember me. My name is Chris, and I’m the guy who used to write an article a day here at Xadara, but over the past 6 months has cut back on this, much to his own displeasure. As much as I’m trying to get back to heavy writing, I wind up […]
May 2018 proved to be quite a productive month for me and my blogging – 29 articles, more than I’ve done since January. I guess I’m getting back into the swing of things. Of course, the 45th anniversary of the launch of Skylab helped with that, giving me a set of articles to write about […]
Yesterday new data privacy laws took hold in the European Union. These laws, known as the “General Data Protection Regulation” or, GDPR, very basically, and I do mean in a very basic form allow European Union residents to demand a company they have data with get rid of said data at that users request (or […]
The past 3 months have been quite a mess for this site – quite a bit less content, and some slightly different types of content out of what had been published were the norm. Certainly not how I wanted to start out the year, to say the least. While the slight shift in subject matter […]
I’m finally getting back into the writing groove, damn near a month after the slow down in production began. That’s awesome just on the point I’m finally getting back to writing for the site, which I honestly do enjoy, but it also means I can finally cover things that I’ve been behind on sharing – […]
As I mentioned previously, February was a very very light month for me here – i wrote barely anything for the site! It isn’t that I didn’t want to, I just didn’t feel like keeping my usual pace – something I hope to not be the case this month. This month will mark 11 years […]
As I’m sure a regular reader will be able to tell, the past year has been quite an interesting one for Xadara. Not only did it mark the first full year of nearly daily writing, which I’m almost certain resulted in nearly 400 articles (in and of itself quite the achievement, I think) but it […]
I felt like letting Xadara leave 2017 in style. After the rather low point I feel the site hit in December, why not end it on a high note right? To that end, I felt the best way to go about this would be with the 1986 hit song, “The Final Countdown” by the band […]
Today I finally got started on some of the long-overdue site updates that I mentioned the other week (see Coming Soon: Even Better Site Organization). These updates will make for easier navigation and discovery of other articles and more long-term content that readers may enjoy. Anyone who follows the site knows I tend to write […]
Alright, I just wanted to throw out an update post to let readers know that some good things are coming soon to the site. It’s been a busier than normal week for me, and I’ve had countless articles and projects delayed. I’ve got videos coming to the YouTube channel along with plenty of articles, more […]
