Old Home

This website it is built with 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 there, 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. Now I can keep everything off site on some server that I don't even know where it is.

I like to think of a wiki as liquid information. A phrase made popular in Wired Magazine. In my case, I write a section, then a day or two later edit it again if I see the need to. For example my 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. A further wiki feature which you could take advantage of is the fact that it is potentially editable by anyone. I have mostly closed this down but there are some collaborative sections that are either open or that I share the password for.

A note about browsers: When I originally set up this wiki, I was 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 pathetic, outdated browser. I surmise 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.
