Show of hands: Japan residents? Gaijin or Japanese?

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 05:14:00 +0000

This is really just a shout out to residents of Japan (Japanese or not) and to anyone who can speak Japanese and English.

Where abouts are you, how long have you been in Japan (or, "how long were you in Japan", if you've left)?
how good is your Japanese?
Did you have trouble when you first got to Japan (buying food etc)
- especially if you've got special dietary requirements, eh?!

me first:
I've been living in Nagasaki-ken for a year and will soon be going home.
Language ability is medium i guess - 3kyu JLPT level?
had some trouble buying some items (and following recipes) until i got the awesome DS japanese dictionary :p
my GF is a veggie and we had serious trouble finding her stuff in the countryside!

anyone else?

I've played guitar for eons (don't know about past lives, but I'm sure there was a lute involved!) and am now the Guitarist for Ken Morris and The Misspent Youth. I'm also a Cartoonist at: www.comicssherpa.com/twisted Mind, A.

Twisted Mind? Oh yeah. It's all good in a Friendly Universe.
Hit me back and tell me what's great in your life right now :)

Biffy Anyone?

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:25:27 +0000

Anybody else in florida hear Biffy Clyro's 'Puzzle' CD? Amazing work by a Great Scottish Band.

Check out 'Living Is a Problem Because Everything Dies' and i think you'll agree.

Viva Biffy!!!

Fragmented Galaxy- Release 1.4.0.31 - Includes in-game wiki

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 05:54:17 +0000

Come test our Mac and Windows MMORTS game (That's Massively Multilayer Online Real Time Strategy). There are still tons of bugs, and very few features, but it actually works (sometimes). Currently it is not much more than a map viewer, but our map is a galaxy of (currently 400) stars orbiting around, each with several planets (also orbiting). It shouldn't hurt your computer, but I'm not going to promise anything. Also, it is quite likely to not work (especially the windows version. I'm going to make a more computable zip for it soon)

http://f-g.wikidot.com/

I just put up this new release a few minutes ago, so we haven't updated all the screen shots and videos yet.

We not only use wikidot for our public site, but nearly all the behind the scenes collaboration is done across several private sites, and we have in game wiki help powered by wikidot. It is still certainly a work in (early) progress, but it is going very well. Eventually we will be combining the game server's database and possibly client side generated data with the in game help wiki. We already have our http://f-g.wikidot.com/server-status page that directly connects to our game server. We also have http://fg-encyclopedia.wikidot.com/tech:test which is in a category where every page iframes a file corresponding to that page off our game server. This will be used for loading stats and such for items in the game. This is done by having the nav bar (hidden) iframe a java script on my server which redirects to a modification of the referring URL.

Wikidot can do a lot of things, collaborative sites, product presentation sites, interactive sites, embedded sites, and more.

Got anyting?

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:52:13 +0000

♥~Thx~♥

Right-to-Left UTF-08 Languages

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 00:47:15 +0000

Does anyone have any idea how I might use Wikidot.com to publish a wiki using a Right-to-Left languages using the UTF-8 character set?

Anyone have a PS3?

Wed, 14 May 2008 02:32:49 +0000

I wanna add you on my PSN. This is for anyone who has an online account made on their PS3.

Who wants to rule the world?

Sun, 11 May 2008 18:33:46 +0000

I'm looking for one, just one good person to be my wiki partner in the development of wc.info

I've said it once, I've said it twice, that wiki is collaborative. Without that, all you have is content management software.

You will get your ads on ALL wc.info wikis until (if) individual ad support arrives.

Do We Have a Ground Zero Wiki?

Fri, 09 May 2008 06:13:46 +0000

Do we have a ground zero wiki for testing things out? I don't mean the sandbox. That's for beginners. I mean something where we try out various things and record the results. (Yes, a perversion of science.)

FireFox as an RSS Reader

Tue, 06 May 2008 15:36:59 +0000

I have to use firefox as an RSS reader. Any suggestions for a better one? I have to monitor the changes on about a gazillion forums / recent changes daily. Is there any RSS reader that will show me only the new posts since I last looked?

Wiki Madman - 02 May 2008

Fri, 02 May 2008 21:27:21 +0000

Editorial : ARGG!

I'm happy to say that gabrys has been running around talking to members and fixing things. Now that gabrys has gotten to work on wikidot proper, he's a bit difficult to keep up with. :)

I, on the other hand, have found myself in a maze of tasks — in other words, my general disorganization will no longer do. I missed yesterday's Madman because I'm disorganized. I'm fixing the problem today.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Be seeing you,
— Shawn N. Hartnell, the extremely disorganized wiki guy

Wiki Madman - 30 Apr 2008

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:15:34 +0000

Editorial : The Wheels of Progress Begin to Turn

The wheels of progress have begun to turn, despite nay-sayers. Want proof? Well, first, I have to say Pffft. to those people who responded with a "We've heard that before." I'll let this speak for itself :

Page	Description	Misspelling	Correction	Status
http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc9	Start of second sentence describing bulleted lists.	To increase indent	To increase the indent	Fixed.
http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc14	5th table row down	Ducumentation	Documentation	Fixed.
http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc16	End of Sentence.	[#anochor-name text to display].	[#anchor-name text to display].	Fixed.
http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc23	Sentence above Advanced (custom) tables heading.	For a newline inside the table…	For a new line inside the table…	Fixed.

In addition, several other corrections have been made, Gabrys just corrected them as he went along. Next we will deal with the errors in the wikidot interface. These are a bit more difficult as they are hard-coded.

Community Manager

It's official. I'm "Community Manager", which is about an official of a title I seem to be able to obtain these days. However, my responsibilities are not limited to the wikidot community proper — such as hunting down spam sites. Grrr. Evil spam.

Dev-List

A google group has been set up as a temporary dev-list where we can talk about ways to improve wikidot, how to fix bugs, and other such things. Here it is :

http://groups.google.com/group/wikidot?hl=en

I encourage everyone to join.

Extra Points

Monicans and Breegans are symbolic of something to do with the future of wikidot. Can anyone guess what it is? :) Once this has been established, I'll reveal the plan to deal with spam wikis. I'll give you a hint, an old girlfriend used to use "Trevor Goodchild" as a pet name for me. Hmm…..

Be seeing you,
Shawn N. Hartnell, sayer of "Pffft."
