Overlooked

Good so far.

While the upgrade instructions were a bit ominous, the upgrade was painless.

WordPress 2.0 has many new features. Most new features are internal. I think the WYSIWYG Editing and Resizable Editing when posting entries are big win.

MoinMoin DesktopEdition is a very easy to install personal wiki.

One issue I had was how to configure it to allow it to support multiple wikis.

The following steps makes it happen:

1. From the download page the the zip version of the DesktopEdition.
2. Then follow the rest of the installation instructions and confirm the default config is working.
3. Down load and expand the normal version moin-1.3.5.tar.gz.
4. From the normal version copy MoinMoin/multiconfig.py to your installed DesktopEdition. This is the main bit of magic needed as the multiconfig.py in the DesktopEdition does not know about multiple wikis.
5. In the DesktopEdition root direcotry (the one with moin.py) create you farmconfig.py and persowiki.py files (see below for examples).
6. Edit you hosts file to include a mapping for each wiki you want.

farmconfig.py
wikis = [
# wikiname, url regular expression (no protocol)
# Standalone server needs the port e.g. localhost:8000
# Twisted server can now use the port, too.
("persowiki", r"^.*persowiki.*$"),
("testwiki", r"^.*testwiki.*$"),
]

persowiki.py
# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-

sitename = u'CswWiki' # u means that it will be converted to Unicode
interwikiname = ''
data_dir = 'wiki/persowiki/data/'
data_underlay_dir = 'wiki/underlay'

testwiki.py
# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-

sitename = u'Test Wiki' # u means that it will be converted to Unicode
interwikiname = 'testwiki'
data_dir = 'wiki/data/'
data_underlay_dir = 'wiki/underlay'


hosts
127.0.0.1 persowiki
127.0.0.1 testwiki

A bit of a slog up Villeneuve to Roquefort, but nothing too outrageous. Nice to ride along the beach.

Performancing for Firefox is a extention to make blogging easier.

There is a gotch when using WordPress and its xmlrpc. If your username is “admin” and your display name is different, you cannot use xmlrpc to login, This means Performancing will not work.

(mooning) you can guess what it is.
(finger) same here.
(toivo) a man and his dog.
(kate) same as (makeup) which is pre-V2.

From Skype Journal.

Skype has been caught with its pants down (type “(mooning)” in Skype Chat). In the latest 2.0 Windows beta new hidden emoticons go well beyond a man and his dog “(toivo)”. Still the hidden agenda seems to point a finger “(finger)”. Perhaps this unknown programmer really did make off like a bandit. “(bandit)”. Entertaining for a few. Use with caution. Almost every IM system has some of these. For a little lipgloss just type “(kate)”.

Easy ride with the only hard bit in Grasse where there is a fairly steep bit after the Place de Justice.
