Here is the config now:

  • media.somik.net : Gallery
  • pictures.somik.net : Drupal for gallery integration only
  • video.somik.net : Streaming videos
  • blog.somik.net : This blog

The pieces I have started building:

  • Blog (this) - Using wordpress here http://wordpress.org/
  • Gallery (media.somik.net) - http://gallery.menalto.com
  • Video (video.somik.net) - QT Streaming server and Quicktime .mov files
  • Trying out a content management system (content.somik.net) - Joomla. Before this, I tried Drupal. But I think these are too much for a personal site. So I will get rid of Joomla today. Removing content.somik.net domain as well.
  • I liked the way drupal integrated with Gallery though. So I might install drupal on pictures.somik.net and host my gallery there. Gallery by itself doesn’t look pretty or it doesn’t blend that well, I think.
  • I dumped wiki.somik.net already. I like blogging more than I like wikis.
