##master-page:FrontPage #format wiki #language en #pragma section-numbers off This is a public WikiWikiWeb for [[SamatJain|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. === 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 * [[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]] === Lists of things === 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, and EconomicsTerms lists technical jargon for marketing & economics * [[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 [[https://samat.org/|personal homepage]].
