Way back, when leaving university, a couple of friends of mine and myself went looking for a place to keep our projects, personal homepages (yes, we geeks had those back then &#8211; sort of a facebook profile, but without the centralization and games). The end result was that we bought the domain <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalfanatics.org\/\">digitalfanatics.org<\/a> and some hosting.<\/p>\n<p>The years passed. From my side, I ran <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalfanatics.org\/projects\/qt_tutorial\/\">The Independent Qt Tutorial<\/a> there. Got a job, wrote a book, got a Qt job, etc. For the others, life also progressed. In the end, the result was a site with a broken wiki installation and outdated contents. So, I decided to take over the domain and do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>During the time that passed, I became a software guy. There is no point trying to resist that any more. I did study electrical engineering &#8211; microprocessor architecture, digital construction, etc &#8211; but I ended up a software guy. Now, I happen to have an urge to explore and write about things. This turned into a plan &#8211; Digital Fanatics would be a place where I could write about electronics and cool projects.<\/p>\n<p>The site has been running for about a month now, without any promotion apart from myself twittering now and then. Still, the average reader count has increased to 50+, and the peak day had more than 100 unique visitors. This is far better than I expected and a real inspiration to me.<\/p>\n<p>So, for those interested in smaller system, preferably open source, and such, feel free to visit the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalfanatics.org\">digitalfanatics.org<\/a>. And, yes, it will still host The Independent Qt Tutorial. It draws an amazing amount of traffic (1000+ daily hits) despite being Qt 3 &#8211; I really should find the time to update it for Qt 5 :-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve decided to bread life into an old domain, but let me tell the story from the very\u00a0beginning.
