Well, I have finally come to realize that I need to setup a personal wiki. As I mentioned in some earlier blog posts, I wanted this site to be more than just information about me. I want it to be information FOR me; and for anyone else who may need some answers to various/numerous web questions.
As some of you have noticed, I recently posted a few code snippets to help with some common tasks. However, Drupal doesn't seem to want cooperate with displaying the snippets properly. Also, doing it this way makes it a bit to cumbersome to keep track of these snippets. Instead I've turned to the
open-source MediaWiki project. This way, I can post examples on the wiki which will make it a lot easier to navigate.
This helps me, and you, find what we're looking for a lot easier.
In doing this I have realized that feedback cannot be given. To overcome this, I will still simply post up a code snippet describing what it does and how it works. Then I will provide a link to the wiki page that gives a step by step approach to using the code. This way, visitors can post comments on additional ways to accomplish what I'm sharing and possibly even better, more efficient ways.
I'm in the process of installing the MediaWiki software package now and will be configuring it over the next few days (weeks) before making it live. I will also go back and edit my previous blog entries that deal with the various code snippets. As of right now, they're kind of unusable.
