I’ve been using my wiki to keep track of information for some time now. It’s been a very personal resource up until now, not in the sense that I use it for “personal” information, but that I’m the only one who edits and (presumably) looks at it. Yesterday, I had my first guest editor, though not the kind I expected.
I’ve been looking at custom silk-screened t-shirts, so in what has become tradition I created a wiki page to store the information I found. A person who I can only assume works for “DesignAShirt.com” altered the text, removing the phrase, “[they seem] to be two faces for the same company,” and adding, “DesignAShirt.com uses a flash based system for their designing that is probably the easiest on the web.” MoinMoin (my wiki software) has a visual record of the changes. (Does anyone know how to force a comparison between two revisions, or can it only be done between a past revision and the current copy?)
I find it interesting that the wiki was edited in this way. I’m curious just how many hits they received through the page that they took notice. I’ll let the change stick around, I suppose. A little rhetoric won’t kill me.
very nice. It’s a soothing and rich color scheme.
Yar, you’ll never get me to use your fancy web stuff on my nice little blog. d: Long live my crapy Intro To Multimedia web skills!!!!
And yes I did use a table to make the webpage work, I’ll update it as soon as I finish the archival system (in final testing for beta now.)
Le sigh.
(What Karl doesn’t realize is that he’s already using CSS on his page. He could be even more 1996-esque, if he wished.)
Where? (:
Let’s compromise: make your page validate and I’ll tell you where the CSS is hiding.

Karl needs to add comments to his blog
Just post them here. (:
And my page is now tenitivly HTML 4.01 Trans. I’m not adding in any silly lines. (Just to piss Adam off. d:)
“Tentatively” means “if you happen to validate the page using UTF-8 and HTML 4.01 Transitional, neither of which are specified in the document itself.” Meaning, the page is still invalid.
It doesn’t bother me that Karl won’t make his pages valid. It bothers me that he’ll make them half-valid, and not follow through with the last three lines of HTML. Gah!
Yeah, you can only take non-conformity so far before it become jack-assness
Hey, I am a semi-profesional jack ass. And I’m not trying to be a non-conformest, I’m just honking Adam off. d:
I hope we didn’t cause any problems when we edited your “wiki”. One of our staff saw the statements that could be interpreted to others that we were affiliated w/ another company. They wanted to clear that up.
Just a few minutes ago, I cleared up the statement even more and took out any wording that may be biased.
Thanks.
Ed,
No problem, your change is understandable in that context, and I didn’t lose any sleep over it.
Funny that two people from the same company made it back to my posts. The first was through HTTP referrer codes I assume, and the second possibly through a Google search for “designashirt.com.” (This blog entry is in the top 50, and the wiki is in the top 100.)
