This blog or website or whatever you want to call it is built on Paul Michaud's flavour of wiki technology: Pm Wiki.

I'm a bit ambivalent about using my name as a website. However, I couldn't bear to see somebody else own this domain so I bought it. Since it was just sitting ther, I decided to use it to try out some wiki technology. Slowly it became my main place to keep stuff, outside of my cluttered home and college offices. It's great, now I can keep everything off site on some server that I don't even know where it is. Well almost everything. Everything except my guitar, books, computer, desks, video tapes, countless papers. Yes, all my digital stuff but still lots of hardware that is not quite wikiable.

I like to think of a wiki as liquid information. A phrase made popular in Wired Magazine. I will write a section, then a day or two later edit it again if I see the need to. For example my recent bicycle crash was edited several times. It still might change. In this way, information is not fixed, but ever changing and improving I hope. This is but one very humble example of how information could be called liquid.

About this website: I have created this website as a personal tool....

A note about browsers: I originally created this while using Safari and soon switched to Firefox after this. They both work fine but actually Explorer worked best. I am not happy to admit this, because it is otherwise a pretty awful browser. I only assume that Paul Michaud the creator of pmWiki used Explorer in the development. Opera looks the best, when it doesn't totally mess up the formatting, which happens much too often.
