Publications, Return to Study, A Sense of Social Life
Finished off my notes on IT Development in East Timor and my paper on citizenship, decentralisation and universal rights, both of which have been submitted to the Development Studies Bulletin for publication in a special issue on the conference. Also have finished and submitted a paper on Windows 2003 Server and Release 2 for the SAGE-AU journal.
I've reduced the number of hours I'm working because, in all honesty, I need the time more than the money. People keep giving me contracts however, with another three this week alone. I have to pick a Wiki for a local council. At the moment I'm using the original for the trial. Any preferred models?
As part of this venture I've decided to have another crack at getting a CCNA by enrolling at NMIT. This is, of course, on top of my list of unfinished projects, not helped by my decision to keep on working as convenor of Labor for Refugees and to rejoin the SAGE-AU executive.
Went out drinking last night with the crew from 2600.au,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caseopaya and new gamer pal, Andrei, who has kindly let me HeroQuest which seems a lot better than the first edition, Hero Wars. Other gaming goes well, with the pbem group finally reaching Borobudur after encountering Hanuman on the way.

It runs on top of Apache, MySQL and PHP. For the sysadmin, it really is stupidly easy to install - unzip the tarball into your htdocs directory, open permissions on the config directory, open the setup page in a browser, close permissions on the config directory.
If you're in an environment that demands Windows, it runs fine on that too. It's about a quarter of the performance, but once they're hooked you can just slide the OS out from under and substitute your *nix-of-choice and immediately everything's four times better ;-)
Other advantage: because Wikipedia uses it and it's really easy to install, it's becoming very popular indeed for new wikis. So if people bother learning the syntax, it'll be useful to them on lots of other wikis.
Disadvantage: it's not quite a wiki the way the PPR is: it's optimised for building reference works. This depends what you want. Mind you, lots of places use it for live documentation and coordination of technical teams okay.

Ahh, my favourite 'diva icon. ;-)
*nods* I thought as much, and it's actually been my recommendation that they set up MediaWiki.
I just did something that was quick 'n' dirty and took no time or effort to set up so they could see what a Wiki was. That and the fact I had now idea who I was even doing it for!
Still, the feedback has been very positive so maybe something will come of this..

OK, I'll get on to that tomorrow.
As for the corporate question (yes, I get that as well), it is, of course, not very difficult to set up a password protected directory. Not that such a particular ability has anything to do with a wiki per se, but such subtleties are probably lost on corporate sponsors...

OK, feesch, what am I to do with this? Get some dip, a bottle of wine and have a picnic?

We may have to "force" a meeting rather than operate on our obvious close trade winds. Do you have a day free next week?
