[edit] Wikimania

I would love to go to Wikimania, August 2006, but can't make it to Boston. I'm in Sydney for August, but I'll be in S.E. Asia (maybe Thailand or Indonesia, but I can adjust my plans) later in 2006, so if something's happening there, I'm keen to join in. Indonesia is my preferred option, as I speak the language and can also get involved with discussion on the Indonesian Wikipedia.

[edit] Interests

[edit] On Wikia

Not doing much here, as my main activity is at Wikipedia and Appropedia.

And keeping a curious eye on:

• Hitchhiking Wikia
• PermaWiki
• Sca21
• Renewable Energy Design Wikia
• Personals Wikia
• Ideas
• Wikocracy (what happens when everyone can write and revise the law?)
• Wikitecture
• Minangkabau
• Campaigns Wikia
• Anything to do with a wiki-based blog. Notes:
  • See Blog:Home & Blog:How do I add a new blog entry? for some ideas on how it can work).
  • Blogging isn't about personal blogs, so do we need a new Wikia to look at this topic? (Someone gave me a good answer on this, to the effect that each Wikia has its own guidelines and some may allow blogs. Can't find where that answer was, though... or did I dream it?)
  • Brettz9 & and Nyarlathotep are also interested in a wikiblog.
  • Interesting blog sites (from my perspective) to take note of are: Kuro5hin, Not Even Wrong & LiveJournal.

I'm very interested in free networking sites that help to link people with common interests. See my Networking page.

[edit] Subpages

• My blog - coming... eventually. For now it's at Bloggy thing and rather out of date. What about this format? Try Schtuff.com as next step.
• Podcasts & online news sources
• Search and research tools
• Networking - accomodation sharing for travellers; work; volunteering; dating & social networking.
• Software - my favorite open source software.
• Salsa in Sydney

[edit] What I'm keeping track of...
