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.

I'm incapable of remembering too many little things in my head, so I've made cheat sheets. DotFiles contains configurations for programs that I use.

Interesting 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 GNU Mailman

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • TitleIndex lists all the pages on this Wiki, many of which are not linked to from the FrontPage

You can find out more about me at my personal homepage. Stalk me on the Internet by finding me ElsewhereOnTheInternet.
