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.
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.

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.
 * A geek would not be much of a geek without a page describing their [[ComputerHardware]].
 * [[Theora]] discusses various ways of encoding Theora video via command-line tools; [[WebM]] does the same for VP8/WebM
 * [[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
 * [[Java]] various tidbits about Java
 * [[OpenStreetMap]] are pointers and information resources I use for mapping
 * I collect quotable [[Quotes]], a page which functions as a staging area till I import them into my quotes database (ever wonder what powers the quotes at the bottom of my e-mails?)
 * Braindump (or rather, browser tab dump) of working with the hell that is [[GNUMailman|GNU Mailman]]

To learn more about what a WikiWikiWeb is, read about MoinMoin:WhyWikiWorks and the MoinMoin:WikiNature. Also, consult the HelpMiscellaneous/FrequentlyAskedQuestions page. === Lists of things ===
Line 27: Line 31:
This wiki is powered by MoinMoin. Wikis are great for keeping lists of things. Some lists of things I am keeping:

 * [[AdvocacyTaglines]]
 * [[BitTorrentTrackers]] lists public BitTorrent trackers
 * [[CheatSheet]] is a list of cheat sheets. Popular ones includes one on [[CheatSheet/OpenSSL|OpenSSL]], etc
 * [[DebianChecklist]] is a checklist for configuring new Debian-based systems
 * [[DotFiles]] contains configurations for programs that I use.
 * Car service information at [[Vehicles]], such as [[Vehicles/MRoadster]] for my convertible
 * [[FrequentlyUnaskedQuestions]]
 * [[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
 * [[ProgrammingIdeas]]
 * [[ProseSnippets]] are pieces of text I thought were written particularly well
 * [[TEDTalks]] are notes and summaries of TED talks that I thought needed to be jotted down
 * [[TitleIndex]] lists all the pages on this Wiki, many of which are not linked to from the FrontPage
 * [[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

This is a public WikiWikiWeb for me to add, edit, and take notes on whatever I feel like taking notes on.

Expect it to be very messy.

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.
