Stephanie Booth's online ramblings
About the website you’re reading.
Vous n’êtes sans doute pas sans savoir que notre chère amie Script est québécoise. Vous verrez que dans la bare de liens, j’ai changé le drapeau à côté de son nom.
Ben oui, je comprends tout à fait. Le drapeau français pour signaler la langue française, c’est bien joli – mais que fait-on des francophones non français? Vous savez, ça fait un moment qu’ils me gênent, ces drapeaux. Je ne suis pas française non plus, et plutôt fière de ma particularité helvète.
J’attends vos suggestions brillantes!
I’ve finally put my AstoundingWeb/Fathom5 reviews online. Enjoy!
Un grand merci à Evelyne pour m’avoir fait remarquer que la quasi-totalité des liens vers les pages intérieures de mon site étaient cassés. Et les autres, vous dormez?! En fait, c’est un problème de serveur que j’espère résoudre bientôt.
En attendant, essayez la chose suivante: à la place de https://climbtothestars.org/writing/fantome/ qui donne une erreur (par exemple), écrivez https://climbtothestars.org/writing/fantome.php. Faites les autres sur le même modèle. Désolée pour l’inconvénient, et ne désespérez pas!
Expect silence during these next days (weeks?). I’m offline to prepare my exams, which will happen on Tuesday
and Thursday next week. Wish me luck!
As soon as those are done with, I’m off to Birmingham — to see this little one, amongst other
lovely people. I’ll hop down to London with Danielle to see Private Lives (btw, if you’re a nice
person in London and you can accomodate the two of us for one night, drop
me an e-mail!)
Those of you who know my mobile number can use that to reach me while
I’m in Switzerland (I love sms!) — once I’m in England, email rules.
But most of all, have a nice time while I’m gone!
The wiki now has an Index to help you find your way through the jungle. If you get lost all the same, you can complain about it in WikiNavigationFeedback.
Je viens de mettre en place une page pour souhaiter la bienvenue aux nouveaux visiteurs sur le wiki. Si vous n’y avez pas encore mis les pieds, allez la visiter et dites-moi si elle répond à vos questions – sinon je la complèterai.
Merci beaucoup!
I’ve put up a page to welcome new visitors on the wiki. If you haven’t been there yet, please check it out and tell me if it answers your questions – otherwise I’ll complete it.
Thanks a lot!
The wiki now has its own domain, with friendly urls: http://spirolattic.net.
When I first thought about setting up a wiki on this site, I was thinking of the personal use I could make of it. A giant scrapbook, a place to brainstorm, to think about my dissertation topic, or post quick links.
Even before I had got the script running, though, another project had loomed up: make it a place where people visiting this site regularly can interact. Make it a place where we can have interesting discussions, and get a little community-feel.
But I didn’t forget my initial idea, which I found was fully developped in WikiAsPim.
I’ve been wanting to make my bookmarks available publicly for some time now. First of all for myself, so that I can have them handy whether I’m at work (Internet Explorer) or at home (Mozilla) or even at university (Mac and old Netscrape).
But also because every now and again, I spend a few hours doing what I call “web research”, and I often come up with collections of links on a given topic which I think a pity to just leave lying on my computer, once I’ve done with them. I don’t want to go through the trouble of putting them on a full-blown site page either, because they are often not topics I’m ferociously interested in.
So a wiki would be a great place to dump my bookmarks.
Start digging!
