I have been asked why there has been little activity on this site off late. Are all the problems related to the perceived threat of the Internet as a medium in India over? Have the laws and the method of functioning of the CERT-IN changed to reflect a greater understanding and respect for democratic processes?

Far from it!

In September of 2006 I returned to the UK to puruse a PhD program . I have been caught up in the process of settling down and setting the groundwork my PhD, which happens to be a technical nature, rather than something related to understanding and influencing policy making and the like.

This does not mean that this site will be allowed to die a slow death. In fact, I renewed my contract with my web host for a further 24 months, yesterday.

I also intend to use my time in the UK to find avenues to take this little cause further. I am painfully aware that I am a small fish in the sea of activism and I don't really know what impact my efforts have had so far. I know there are many others who are individually and in groups doing their bit for similar causes. I hope to utilize my time here to better collect and galvanize ideas and put them into action.

Over the last few months, I have been observing the landscape from a vantage point and I will have more to say on things soon.

To those who have encouraged me and helped popularize whatever little content there is on this site, I offer my thanks.
