<< | HomePage | >> Tamara Temple's Wiki

This site is my personal wiki, implemented in Pm Wiki. Here I keep all kinds of things, from Books I want to read, Movies I want to see, and Music I want to listen to, to Food and Lifestyle and Health concerns, to Management and Consulting topics, to Computers, Software Development, and Internet things, as well as various collections of things I've accumulated over the years.

I apologize for the unfinished nature of this wiki. I have been slowly porting over entries from a previous wiki system and it is boring and time consuming. So bear with me!

A Wiki is like a normal web site, except that you can edit the content in your browser

  • "Wiki" is short for "wiki wiki", the Hawaiian for "Quick"
  • The idea originates from Macintosh HypercardExt, via Ward CunninghamExt
  • In Ward's words, Wiki is "the simplest online database that could possibly work"
  • A Wiki is basically a shared, online, persistant whiteboard
  • Anyone can add content or change what is written or change the organisation of the content
  • Whatever you write is nicely presented, remembered, and never forgotten

Note!

This wiki is locked down to prevent spam from coming in. If you would like an account on here to edit things, please feel free to write me at my email -> mailto:tamara [snail] tamaratemple [period] com?subject=wiki%20logon%20request to request an account.

Getting around

As you can see below, there are numerous pages linked in this wiki, the list below a small sample of starting pages that fan out into other pages. In addition, the pages are (mostly) categorized, so you can click on the Categories link on the right and get a list of various categories. Click on a category will further give you a list of the pages associated with that category. Another option is Search, which is located at the top-right of the page. It will search the wiki for matching text. The search page has additional info on formatting your search queries. In addition, new this month, are Tags, which provide an additional level of classification of the wiki pages, an alternative to categories. See the tag cloud on the right as well. it works like a cateogry, in that when you select a tag, you'll get a list of all the pages associated with that tag. Pages which are tagged show the tags at the bottom of the page. If you see a little globe and link image that indicates the the link goes offsite.
