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.
