Yeah finally! 🙂

I’m so happy. It’s all set. Rebellin v3 is ready.

During the previous release, I’d uploaded the ISOs to SourceForge before giving the release news to DistroWatch. While I was working on the site people had already started downloading the files. I got bombarded with tech support emails and that took me away from the website work.

Not this time. I’ll fix the site first and shall then upload everything. So that I’ll be ready to help all of you to the best of my abilities.

Just a little itsy-beetsy-teeny-weeny wait. 🙂

It was a fantastic year. Personal life is going great. This year gave me my wife and I’m so thankful to God for giving me this amazing woman. I’m now a married man with my own family. Quite a transformation!

Business wise, no. Not that good of an year.

Anyway, I think from this post onwards, I’ll be writing yearly reviews and sharing statistics with all our users. You guys should have a clear idea of what I’m doing and exactly where everything is going.

Rebellin v2.5 was released in February. It was excellent. Customer support is the best part of my business. I love to help people. It’s hard. Finding a solution to a specific problem requires a lot of tinkering on my own side to emulate the situation a user is facing. But when a user gets a solution and he responds positively, that’s when you realize your effort was worth it! The compliments and the sheer joy and satisfaction of helping someone gives meaning to my business.

Rebellin v3, which was due in August, has been delayed. A lot. And a lot many times. This was not cos I was lazy to work on it. But cos I was getting too many ideas and was running in every new direction I could think of. Not good. I need to focus a lot more on getting things out there instead of a string of silly, unfinished projects. Momentum. I lost all of that.

That said, I’ve become wiser and more efficient over the course of time and this should reflect in my work ethics as well. 🙂

Plans for the next year!

So here are my plans for the upcoming year.

1. Launch Rebellin v3 and the shiny new user guide that will help everybody to master Linux in the most fun filled way!
2. Start the Rebellin University. I love teaching and I’ve decided to offer some great books and training kits to all our users.
3. Be more open about Rebellin and related stuff. I’ve decided to write one blog post every day. I think I can make it. Let’s see.
4. Build a new service for Rebellin users. A tiny service with a big impact. Give me some time. I’ll let you know the details soon! Service will be launched by the end of April 2016. If I go along with my schedule properly, I’ll be able to launch it without any delays.
5. Build an app around the above mentioned service for PC as well as Mobile Platforms.
6. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus on ONE thing only till it’s done! Too many things at once and I get nothing done. Focus. I need to learn to focus.
7. Travel more. The only time I travelled for the whole year of 2015 was my honeymoon trip to Thailand. My wife loves to travel and that’s when I discovered I love travelling with her! So now that’s a priority! Keep some time for travelling around the world. Seychelles is our next destination!
8. Fitness. I’m almost 6 feet tall and weigh just 65 kg. That’s bad. I’m on the thinny-skinny-boney side of the spectrum. Gotta fix that. I’ve decided to put on at least 5kg of muscle by the end of the year.

That’s all. Eight goals and I sure hope to crack all of them. In time.

Thank you so much dear users for the support you guys give me on emails. Love to hear from all you people all the time!

Oh I almost forgot!

Happy New Year!

The live chat module is not working. I’m working on this. Shall be fixed in sometime. Nothing to worry. We’re right here if you have any issues. Please use the contact us page to get in touch with us. You can even use the Question-Answer Module to ask any questions you may have.

Inconvenience is highly regretted!

A little tiny update to the site. I’ve removed the forums. You can no longer post anything there.

But no worries, the question-answers module is all set, with categories and tags. You may use it to post your questions. I’ll be monitoring that so you should get answers very soon if not immediately.

What the hell am I up to? What am I doing? Am I gonna release Rebellin v3 or not? Am I even working on it or not? Have I abandoned the project? 🙂

It’s 11.42 PM, November 25th as I’m writing this. So what exactly is it that is delaying this project? My marriage!

I’m getting married on the 27th of November, that is this Friday! Long story short. After marriage I’m shifting to a whole new city and beginning a new life. Everything has changed. Just a month ago I got myself a new apartment. This whole shifting thing and the whole ‘husband transformation’ (oh my God!) took away a lot of my time. This new development has delayed all my ideas. But I think it’s worth it.

I’m very lucky to have an amazing wife, an amazing family and a truly awesome customer base! People like you! Thank you so much for believing in this project and being there. This really motivates me and solidifies my faith in what I’m doing.

Once I settle down in my new home, I’ll be giving my complete attention to Rebellin project. You can expect the new version of Rebellin to be out by the end of December. I’ll be launching all my projects one by one. Trust me. I want it all to be out there as soon as possible.

Now without wasting time, here’s a picture. Aditi and me. 🙂
