Started a blog under HexHoot

-
I think it is for the best to start a separate blog under HexHoot. This will help me promote the project by making lots of content related to it, which could eventually drive traffic into the page. I really am betting on HexHoot taking off. I see a lot of potential in the project. Check it out:  https://blog.hexhoot.com/

Yet another impulsive domain purchase - HexHoot.com

-

I was doodling on my sticky notes, and I came up with a few hexagons that looked like an owl. I found it quite amusing for myself and decided to go to a domain registrar and search for 'hexowl'. I found that the domain was already taken. I did a few more searches and I eventually found that 'hexhoot.com' was available. I showed my drawing to my sister and I explained it to her, and she told me to buy the domain.

I don't know what I am going to do with this just yet, but let me hold it for a while to see what I could do with it.



I have hosted it on Blogger itself. I find that the page works as in the screenshot while opening from a desktop, while a default blogger template gets loaded while opening it up from a phone. That is interesting. I think I need to get back at that.

Originally, I created the logo using an image editor, exported into PNG. Just now, I re-created the same to create an SVG. I am sure that SVGs can be scaled to any dimension while having a very small size for the file.

Check it out at www.hexhoot.com.

P2P Zero-Knowledge-Proof based Opensource Social Network - HexHoot

-
I find that the domain name that I purchased on an impulse, hexhoot.com, would be the ideal name for the p2p social network; both of which I described in some of my previous posts. I have been working on it during my pasttime for about a month now, and I decided to make it opensource. You can have a look at the project using the following link: https://github.com/zenineasa/hexhoot I have attempted to follow all the best development practices as much as I can. I have written tests, and, enabled continuous integration feature in GitHub to run all the tests, lint and copyright checks for the code changes that is being made. I also have captured all the foreseeable tasks in a Trello dashboard. This helps me keep track of all the bugs that I have detected and all the important tasks that need to be completed. There are quite a lot of tasks left to make this bug-free and feature-rich. I hope I will find enough time and motivation to do the same in the coming days.

Regarding a Covid-19 related project that I worked on a few months ago

-

A little over a year ago, I had written a blog post in this blog titled " COVID-19 Disease Spreading Simulation ". That was something that I worked on in a very short time frame. A few months after that, during a conversation with an old professor of mine, Dr. Jimson Mathew, we discussed modifying it further to create something really interesting. We started working on creating "A Framework for COVID-19 Cure or Vaccine Distribution Modeling, Analysis and Decision Making" in October 2020 and finished creating it and drafting a research paper about it in the first week of November 2020. We had submitted this to the Journal of Simulation, but the reviewers rejected the paper citing more information recently. Of course, we will be editing the paper and re-submitting it; however, I thought it would be better if I uploaded the project in the public domain so that anyone who would like to use it can do the same without having to wait. I have made this available on GitHub.

Bought a new domain - chickfort.com

-
A couple of days ago, I bought a domain named 'chickfort.com'. I have been wanting to own a '.com' domain for quite a while now, and I didn't want to buy one from a reseller. Every now and then, I used to go to one of the domain registrants and search for interesting names that would come into my mind. This has been going on for quite a while, and I finally found a domain name that is short enough and is a combination of two simple English words. The aforementioned is not the main reason why I chose to buy this domain. The words 'chick' and 'fort' coupled together could be loosely translated into the endonym of my hometown, Kozhikode. Additionally, I believe that the domain name could be potentially used for a wide-variety of purposes. The interesting thing is that, I have been receive calls from a few software and web development companies after I made this purchase. I wonder if the domain registrar is secretly sending the data to the marketing team
