Unlimited Pages in StikiPad

Sunday, February 26, 2006

Stikipad, a hosted wiki service which I’ve mentioned before, has announced that free accounts get unlimited pages and revisions, up from 5. That is awesome news, and now I’m tempted to use it instead of MediaWiki for my personal wiki.

My main reasons for staying with MediaWiki – I can host it myself, and I spent so much time converting my text to use MediaWiki’s syntax format that I don’t want to have to change wikis again.

My main reasons for going with Stikipad – I don’t like MediaWiki much, and I love the fact that I can use Textile.

I’m going to think about this some more..

Updated Extension

Sunday, February 19, 2006

I have updated my Link Entry from Control Panel to Your Site extension. It broke after I updated to the newest build of EE (latest build is 20060217). If you have this build, go download the extension again.

My next post should be a little more exciting – I have another extension! smile But since it’s late I will release it tomorrow.

We really are, you know

I am going to copy this post and give you a screenshot of Canada’s medal counts in the Winter Olympics. The screenshot below was taken from the Globe and Mail front page just now.

Isn’t that so elite? grin

Since last week

Monday, February 06, 2006

Yikes! It’s been over a week since I’ve posted on here? Where have I been? I don’t even know myself. Last week passed by in a blur.

What happened (online, anyway):

pMachine announced a design contest, the ExpressionEngine $15,000 Shoutout. You can enter Personal, Commercial or Core sites. The top prize is $1,000, an EE Commercial license and a forum module license. The contest closes on February 28. Now while I’d love to enter, I don’t think I have much of a chance of winning, and plus, I’d want to redesign the site and I might not be able to find the time to do it.

Last Monday, my site got suspended. Yep. It was because I was running this app called Instiki, and it was causing too much of a load on the server. Now I should have realized this, seeing as sometimes it took minutes for a page to load, and I didn’t think about what that would mean. I used Instiki as a personal wiki, and I loved it because it used Textile (I use Textile on this blog too). Since I couldn’t use Instiki anymore, I had to go look for another wiki script. I ended up going with MediaWiki even though it meant having to use another text markup format.

Stikipad was launched just over a week ago. It’s a hosted wiki service. I tried it out before I found out that I couldn’t use Instiki anymore. I really liked it because it’s like a much more improved version of Instiki. But I still went with MediaWiki because I’d rather host all the information myself instead of elsewhere.
