Random Thoughts
- Wanna see something cool? Make a link that says "[[wiki:whatevertexthere]]", then preview the edit and look at the actual link you generated. It will be http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?whatevertexthere. What on Earth is c2.com, you might ask? Well, only the location of the OG. Yes, the first wiki is still linkable by shortcut in MediaWiki just like the best-known wiki today, Wikipedia, which is accessible using the shortcut [[wikipedia:articlename]].
- OG means Original Gangsta, for those who aren't "down" with the "urban vernacular". It's a useful expression for whenever there's an original version of something that feels ancient besides the latest version. Kinda like the OG hamster dance, http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~boris/dance/, versus the latest CG version, http://www.hampsterdance.com/ (cries at seeing new version). As you can see, the OG is usually better :-\
- geyser dislikes my propensity for using lesser-known English words on the wiki, and understandably so, since they are not ESL-friendly. But it's still preferable to being part of a community where you don't know WHAT the frack they're talking about. Cf. http://pfhorchan.org/m/, http://clique.jonirons.net/, many other sections of AlephOne community. So it could be worse. That's all I'm saying.
- Hypothesis: The length of one's post on a talk page is directly proportional to the angst one is feeling at the time. Status: Unproven, but supported by significant amount of data.
