I also have a keen interest in Aviation and Flight Simulators. Oh and I&#8217;ve recently become interested in cooking too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I started this blog as a collection of my adventures on my Flight Simulator. As I started expanding my Flight Simulator hardware with some DIY components, I started blogging about that. The most notable being a 3D Printed Flight Management Computer (FMC) for X-Plane&#8217;s Zibo (see <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.shahada.abubakar.net\/?cat=211\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to that, between 2011-2019 I had been ranting and nattering on in Google+, however all that disappeared when Google shut down the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And even before that, I was mostly posting on Facebook Notes, at least until Facebook shut down the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In late 2021 my flight sim blog&#8217;s  hosting provider started having issues, so I decided to shut that down for a while and rebuild the blog around WordPress.  The results of which is what you are seeing now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the sake of posterity, I also decided to import all my earlier content from Facebook Notes and Google+ into this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s  still a work-in-progress &#8212; there are a hundred or so Posts in the Drafts section for me to go through &#8212; so things are probably in a bit of a mess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For technical reasons, I&#8217;ve temporarily disabled comments on all posts (it will be reactivated eventually), but if you need to ask me anything, feel free to contact me directly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Keeping Up With Blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of ways to keep up with the blog posts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use an RSS reader and follow me via the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.shahada.abubakar.net\/feed.xml\" target=\"_blank\">RSS Feed Link<\/a>.&nbsp; [broken]<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Receive an e-mail notification via the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=abubakar\/aTDW&amp;loc=en_US\" target=\"_blank\">feedburner subscription service<\/a>. [broken]<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#8220;Follow&#8221; me on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/shahada\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>. I will usually do a public post with a link to new blog posts. (Note: I&nbsp;tend to reserve &#8220;Friends&#8221; on&nbsp;Facebook for family and people I have met face to face, as I also use it to share&nbsp;stuff I don&#8217;t want to post publicly. So if I do not know you personally (yet) please do not be upset if I do not accept your friend request. You probably won&#8217;t be interested in the non-public stuff I post anyway).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At the moment, there isn&#8217;t any way to separate the meaningful from the meaningless on the blog using these feeds. So if you&#8217;re only interested in flight sim stuff, you will unfortunately have to put up with my other nonsense posts as well. \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More About Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I can also be found elsewhere on the Internet at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/dotsha747\">https:\/\/github.com\/dotsha747<\/a> &#8230; Source code I&#8217;ve put online<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/easyeda.com\/dotsha747\">https:\/\/easyeda.com\/dotsha747<\/a> &#8230; Electronics Stuff I&#8217;ve  dabbled with <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinkercad.com\/users\/ahgZx4eoq6M-shahada\">https:\/\/www.tinkercad.com\/users\/ahgZx4eoq6M-shahada<\/a> &#8230; 3D stuff I&#8217;ve toyed with<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/15841392-shahada-abubakar\">https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/15841392-shahada-abubakar<\/a><span style=\"color: initial;\"> &#8230; Stuff I read<\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.last.fm\/user\/dotsha\/library\">https:\/\/www.last.fm\/user\/dotsha\/library<\/a> &#8230; Stuff I listen to<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contacting Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions regarding my flight sim builds or other projects, or any other random topic, it would probably be best to leave a&nbsp;note in the comments section of the post. Quite likely someone else will have&nbsp;similar questions and will benefit from your asking it publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>If you want to contact me in private, you can do so via the methods below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>email me via <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/mailto:shahada@abubakar.net\" target=\"_blank\">shahada AT abubakar.net<\/a><\/li><li>message me on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/m.me\/shahada\" target=\"_blank\">facebook messenger<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both these methods however have their spam filters and your message might end up there. If you don&#8217;t get a response and its been weeks, probably leaving a comment in the blog to check my spam filter will help &#8212; i get an alert every time a comment is left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me I&#8217;m Shahada Abubakar from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
