Thanks Johnnie Moore, you have just taken me in a new direction -
I'll tell you what I mean - yesterday, I was at Tony Goodson's place
fixing up his wireless network configuration, eating his chocolate and
watching his valiant attempts to cook for his two children (whilst his
wife Annie was away on a short interstate trip). At the same time as
cooking, Tony was also trying to deal with Georgia and Jay being awake!
It's true that men can only do one thing at a time!! <most
amusing> In spite of all this, Tony still managed to conduct a
conversation with me; he kept saying this word "Wiki" which I thought
was the hairy creature "Chewbakka" from Star Wars. Eventually Tony
explained what a wiki was. And, when I read your weblog entry and was
then directed to Stuart Henshalls weblog, it all started to fall into
place for me.
I have really enjoyed writing my weblog but my
interest is more related to the things I see, think and experience on
the journey rather than the details of the logistics of the journey
itself (If you can get my metaphor). If you read some of my weblog,
they are more like short essays on places, experiences, ideas - not my
day to day victories, disaters and interactions.
So, after reading
Johhnie More and then being sent to Stuart Henshall, I started to
search for an ASP based implementation of a Wiki that I could start to
work with.
The only one I could find was JotSpot - I have requested
a BETA but they are not automated and I will have to wait for a couple
of days to get setup.
It looks like it will give me the outle that I personally am looking for.
Below is what i wrote to Jotspot as my reason for wanting a wiki...
I am wanting to overcome the limitation of web-logging that is related to the chronological order imposed by the web-log structure. My weblogs are ususally ideas, or "trains of thought" that I wish to come back to from time to time and amend or expand - the wiki seems far more suited to this use than the weblog.
