This is a public WikiWikiWeb where I (or you, provided you have an account) can edit, add, and change whatever I feel like taking notes on. 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]].

Check out the most recent changes on RecentChanges; see SyntaxReference if you help need remembering MoinMoin's syntax (I do). 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.

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
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.

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.

To learn more about what a WikiWikiWeb is, read about MoinMoin:WhyWikiWorks and the MoinMoin:WikiNature. Also, consult the HelpMiscellaneous/FrequentlyAskedQuestions page. Wikis are great for keeping lists of things. Some lists of things I am keeping:
Line 31: Line 30:
This wiki is powered by MoinMoin.  * [[AdvocacyTaglines]]
 * [[BitTorrentTrackers]] lists public BitTorrent trackers
 * [[DebianChecklist]] is a checklist for configuring new Debian-based systems
 * [[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

This is a public WikiWikiWeb for 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.

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.
