March 22, 2007 (PST) from TESOL in Seattle. My mother always had one drawer called a "junk drawer" in our house. Odds and ends that didn't quite have their own place were put here. Erasers, scotch tape, foreign coins, a never-used ash tray, a part from some long gone kitchen aid. This wiki of mine is something like that. It's kind of my place to put stuff. Hopefully some others can find something useful among the useless stuff. Good luck with that...
Jan. 8, 2007 (JST). This site is based on wiki technology. I'm currently thinking that a more bloggy format might be more useful, or maybe even a bliki. I'll have to do some research. Currently, I'm using wordpress over at our dicussion group here in Osaka Japan, and it seems that wordpress is winning the blog battle in terms of private installations (in contrast to Blogger for instance, which you have to use through their website).
I'm not totally impressed with Wordpress, at this point it seems too basic for our needs, but maybe I'll have to buy the pro version, learn how to use the plug-ins I need or go to another blog/wiki/bliki to get what I want. A person I have a great deal of respect for regarding his judgement on things linguistic and computational, Mark Liberman, uses Movable Type on his blog "The Language Log".
What's wrong with Movable Type? There seemed to be some doubts about continuing support for Movable Type and others don't like the fact that it is built on PERL which is a language I have never bothered with. I'm still not totally committed to a blog technology, so I'll wait and see. I just found Bill Poser, another person I have a lot of respect for, uses Word Press? for his blog. So a very limited subset of experts leaves the vote tied. Time to make my vote, but maybe I do actually need a bliki! Hehe... But I don't even know any names of Bliki setups. No hurry to decide.
What I don't like about the wiki? It's easy to get stuff all the heck over the place. Two levels sounds nice as the Home Page two levels you see above. This wiki also doesn't take html easily, which is nice for external paste-ins (see my Classes.Phonetics on the bottom where I pasted in a dialect survey).
Old Home Page includes contact information and "about" this website
