Individual Entry
wiki
I was thinking of setting up a wiki on my new ludologizer.com domain, because it seems like the cool thing to do. Then PBWiki launched. In an instant it ended my plan, thanks to its simplicity and easy set up. So I'm using that for my wiki now while the domain, once again, returns to a state of duh. Not sure what to do with it. Again.
The hassle-free set up reaffirmed in me the useful goodness that Wikis can provide. I then followed the links to see the source code that PBWiki is based off of, only to be reminded of the horrendous abuse that they can be subject to.
It's no wonder that the pbwiki wikis are password protected.
The whole ravaged wiki thing reminded me of the good old days of MetaBaby. I remember when it was pure and innocent, before it succumbed to the inevitable internet flood of prolapsed anuses and crap-flooding. But even that sight was better than the modern spammer mess. Back in those idyllic days, spammers were limited to email and weren't (actively) targetting HTTP posts (weblogs, comments, wikis, referer logs.) I miss those days.

Oh wow! Your temp ludologizer site links my old portfolio site, which is now my old flatmate's Parkour site, because the portfolio was cringeworthy.
June 8, 2005 03:59 AM. Posted by: Aubrey.Nowak, It'd be good if you could get some sort of archieve page or a search function going on here. I wanted to link to one of your older posts but couldn't find it.

The link can be found in individual posts because I figured it was unnecessary clutter for the main page. And I had search for a while, but it added nothing and I thought it was open to abuse.
But google works

:)
And as for the wiki, it's just for personal notes and references and thoughts. It doesn't matter whether it's public or not, it's just for personal use, so I don't need to worry about being strict in maintaining it.

Wikis are great. I use them for design documents internally.
However, you have to have a pretty massive amount of discipline in maintaining them and foresight in planning them. I don't know what you are using them for, but be sure to think very hard about the way you want people navigating them - relying on a recent changes page, and hyperlinks within documents is never enough. You need to make use of category systems (if this one has them), wrote, hand made indexes etc.
Wikis as a concept rock. Wikis, in theory, rule. But a wiki is only as good as the people contributing to them. Me, for example, I'm coming under critisism for our internal wiki being hard to navigate, and I end up just having to write normal documents for some departments who aren't as close to the project. Just sayin'.
