Urox's Journal: The rebirth of a webpage...

All those of you who didn't ID me already on orkut, I'm messing up the Dec 20th reference. :P

In college I had a webpage. And things were fine. Graduate said college and no more webspace. Buy two domains (one because it came with the webspace and the other because I didn't trust the webspace provider to let me retain the primary domain name I desired). Now I have happy private email again. Except for the web contact points. Which get spammed mercilessly. To addresses I don't even have set up except under catch all.

Why do I still have catch all on? Because I found out that my bank sent my financial details to a different account in that domain because of an email address slip-up.

Back to my original mind thread. I don't have webpages set up now. The pages from my college years aren't really applicable and I'm not even sure I want to put out the information in that format again.

I attempted at a light webpage: links I want to keep track of, wines that I enjoy, and a statement about the RIAA. That last one was definitely a mistake as the statement turned into an essay discussion on why they are shooting themselves in the foot and making us pay for the hospital fees.

So still no personal web pages.

Then something like Orkut comes along. I'd love to direct people to my personal web pages to find out more about me rather than post everything and anything on orkut. But then they'd have my domain name. The smarter ones would be able to link my domain to other places as it is not a widely used name. So the idea is to friend link so that I can lock that information. Well, Orkut has a history of leaking information, my email for example. It isn't so bad having my email visible here, but with a real name and photo attached, you're just asking for trouble in giving one more piece of information.

Back yet AGAIN to the thread I wanted to get out. How do I start up my web pages again such that they're scalable? Another reason I have the two domains is so that I can have one with my IRL identity intact and family update friendly and the other with more of my esoteric pursuits (and that would have my religous monogomous family at odds with me) but not my real name nor my gender.
