Personal space: Nucleus, DokuWiki, POP3, ..

It's been silent for a while again, mostly due to a lot of time going to my new job.

One of the things I've come up with lately is a new personal blog to share some of my consultant experiences. It's written in Dutch however, since it's less technical and more personal :)

Technical posts will still come up here, and here is a small one:

Becoming a consultant, I had the idea to set up a dedicated server to manage everything abroad.

Stuff like subversion, blog, wiki, imap, smtp, pop3, ...

But due to a cost issue, I stepped away from that idea, although it remains quite nice ;)

However, most of the above ideas can be solved on only shared webhosting space!
  • Nucleus CMS as a personal blogging engine.
  • DokuWiki as a personal wiki.
  • And I'll code something in PHP to check my pop3 boxes and make them available through a centralised site, since apparently most solutions are either IMAP-only, or looking ugly.
The only missing thing is Subversion, but I can live with that.

Dokuwiki is quite nice, I'm sold for the idea of keeping a personal wiki. Documenting everything work related in a nice, presentable way. Easy to access, and only one place, instead of storing everything scattered through my filesystem, emails, papers, ...

I'll also try to use it to document all my future public projects, to complement this blog.

Currently, there's not much public information on it yet, but you can check out the blog and wiki at:

  • how about a linux host like dreamhost for the wiki / subversion etc.

    watch for special price codes around the web for that one, but if you want a server in the sky with lots of space and backup space that's probably the one to go for.

  • Well, I have my webhosting space already, so I'm not really going to pay for only the subversion part.

    I've been using the wiki a bit more at my own webhosting now, and I like it, so I think I can manage fine without subversion for now ;)

  • Yeah, but I don't like a third party handling my mailboxes :)

    I don't have a lot of trust when it comes to others managing private email :p

    Having something on my own makes me sleep peacefull at night ;)
