After having authored ~1400 blogs at blogs.oracle.com/arungupta (titled “Miles to go” and hence 2.0 in the title here), this blog cannot really start with “Hello Blogsphere” unlike my first blog on Aug 2, 2005. This blog would rather be a continuation of all the entries posted there until now. All the great content that you’ve seen on blogs.oracle.com/arungupta will stay there, but any new content will now be exclusively published on this blog.

I heartily welcome you to this blog!

I’ll mostly be blogging about Java, Java EE, application servers, cloud, PaaS, tooling options, my travels/conferences around the world, community building, running, and some more.

I’m starting a new job at Red Hat on Oct 21, 2013 as Director, Developer Advocacy and you’ll definitely hear about their technologies and products as well. I’d love to hear what else would you like me to blog about.

As always, feel free to leave a comment on the blog or ping me on twitter at @arungupta if you want to reach out.

This blog title is inspired by this lovely poem by Robert Frost …

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep…

And my version …

There are a tons of cities/countries to visit…
Plenty of User Groups to spread the fever …
Lots of conferences to speak at …
And miles to go before I sleep …
