The Portal

Do I contradict myself?/ Very well then I contradict myself,/ (I am large, I contain multitudes.)

Walt Whitman

I’ve begun to take my writing more seriously and so I am eager to do the business of writing. The business of writing is a nice way of saying generating content. I’m like most amateur writers in that I enjoy thinking of an idea more than actually committing it to paper(or mySQL database as the case may be). I started to spend time exploring my various interests and recently created subdomains in order to make it more accessible. In a sense, it creates different compartments of my interests and that appeals to me. Not only that, instead of a few large databases, I have 100 small databases. If I could, I’d redo all the sites as a PostNuke install with multisite mods. I would invision it to look like Slashdot or something similar. That would allow me to login once and write to many places. Unfortunately, the db problem is hard to overcome.

Just in case, though. Don’t use pinakidion.net for a while. I’m going to play with converting all this into a portal using the *.pinakidion.net addresses. Right now, all the subdomains are on *.pinakidion.org. If it works, that will be great. If not, well, I have to login to six different places.

On a side note, a friend suggested that I go into the naming business. After all, google searches on pinakidion and sycarion point overwhelmingly my sites. Pretty soon, I’ll have a third. If you need to name something, let me know. I won’t charge, I promise.
