About the site recovery

The site you’re viewing is being rebuilt from what was available on the old domain battlehorse.homelinux.net . It will take a bit of time to rebuild everything, since in the meantime I’ve also moved to a new wiki/blog/project management framework, built by myself in the last few days, called Borg .
