What is this wiki about? This is a public WikiWikiWeb for [[SamatJain|me]] to add, edit, and take notes on whatever I feel like taking notes on. A geek would not be much of a geek without a page describing their [[ComputerHardware]].
Line 9: Line 8:
Interesting starting points:
 * RecentChanges: see where people are currently working
 * WikiSandBox: feel free to change this page and experiment with editing
 * FindPage: search or browse the database in various ways
 * SyntaxReference: quick access to wiki syntax
 * SiteNavigation: get an overview over this site and what it contains
Expect it to be very messy.
Line 16: Line 10:
If you're here to check out this wiki's new theme, look at pages with lots of text. I recommend such pages at [[HelpOnInstalling]], [[WikiWikiWeb]], etc.
Line 17: Line 12:
== How to use this site == I'm incapable of remembering too many little things in my head, so I've made [[CheatSheet|cheat sheets]]. [[DotFiles]] contains configurations for programs that I use.
Line 19: Line 14:
A Wiki is a collaborative site, anyone can contribute and share:
 * Edit any page by pressing '''[[GetText(Edit)]]''' at the top or the bottom of the page
 * Create a link to another page with joined capitalized words (like WikiSandBox) or with {{{["quoted words in brackets"]}}}
 * Search for page titles or text within pages using the search box at the top of any page
 * See HelpForBeginners to get you going, HelpContents for all help pages.
== Interesting pages ==
Line 25: Line 16:
To learn more about what a WikiWikiWeb is, read about MoinMoin:WhyWikiWorks and the MoinMoin:WikiNature. Also, consult the HelpMiscellaneous/FrequentlyAskedQuestions page.  * [[Theora]] discusses various ways of encoding Theora video via command-line tools
 * [[Zsh]] lists links to zsh files, configuration snippets, etc. I'm considering switching from bash to zsh. I also found interesting stuff about [[Bash]] in the process.
 * [[PetRabbit]] collects information on owning rabbits as urban pets
 * [[SSD]] has information on configuring a Linux desktop to work best with solid-state disks
 * [[Zeroconf]] has some tips and tricks for using zero-configuration networking under Linux
 * [[Apartment]] is a braindump about sharing chores and expenses with my apartment flatmates
 * [[802.11n]] chronicles my quest to find open-source 802.11n devices, particularly routers
 * [[Facebook]] documents various things about the social network, mostly at this point about their egregious treatment of user privacy
 * [[OpenStreetMap]] are pointers and information resources I use for mapping
Line 27: Line 26:
This wiki is powered by MoinMoin. == Lists of things ==

Wikis are great for keeping lists of things. Some lists of things I am keeping:

 * [[AdvocacyTaglines]]
 * [[BitTorrentTrackers]] lists public BitTorrent trackers
 * [[DebianChecklist]] is a checklist for configuring new Debian-based systems
 * [[GNOMEIsAntiUser]] contains list of various reasons GNOME sucks (with references), which I use as a reference when people force me to start trolling about how GNOME sucks
 * [[ProseSnippets]] are pieces of text I thought were written particularly well
 * [[UserInterfaceTerms]] contains a list of technical terms used in the user interface and information architecture design communities
 * [[Wines]] contains a list of wines/other alcoholic beverages I've found I like, and need to purchase again

You can find out more about me at my [[http://samat.org/|personal homepage]]. Stalk me on the Internet by finding me [[ElsewhereOnTheInternet]].
