I’ve posted more than 1000 blog entries (since 01/2003)!

I’ve been blogging on this site now since January 2003 and have just recently passed 1000 entries! This started as a personal site to collect together links to news items and things that interested me personally, but as it turned out I also get quite a lot of traffic from blog aggregators, so I guess someone reads this other than me! Thanks to everyone for reading my entries!

MediaWiki install and setup on my server – very simple!

I installed and setup MediaWiki(the wiki system used by Wikipedia) this weekend on my Linux server for a local non-profit (I’ll publish the URL when it’s live) and I have to say this was one of the easiest installs and setups that I’ve seen for a long time. I’ve installed a number of other open source CMS/Wiki type systems in the past, and MediaWiki really stands out as the cream of the crop in terms of ease of use and installation.
