Moved "Talk" to /Talk. --2001-08-13



Hints



Tired of having RecentChanges display entries you've already seen when you reopen it?
Just before you close the RC page (say, before logging out to do some real life stuff)
just drag the List new changes starting from into the Windows Quick Launch toolbar.
Next time you're ready to visit Wikipedia, the RC area is just one click away,
and will only show entries since the last time you visited.
This is for Windows 98/IE 5; similar features may be available for other configurations.

I've only recently discovered Wikipedia -- really cool. So far, my favorite thing to do is to just
wander around via Random Page [URL], usually
fixing any minor errors that I see.
I've made no significant contributions.

Au contraire, mon frère. Correcting existing entries is a double service, as it increases the usefulness of Wikipedia twice as much, proportionally, as adding new data. You reorganization of the FAQ is nice, too. --Lee Daniel Crocker

Thanks. I finally decided to heed, at least a little, the admonition to be bold in updating pages.

I'm particularly fond of your succinct entry on Recursion which I just randomly stumbled into

Cheers ... and it only took three months for anyone to notice it GWO


I'm glad LDC has already given great praise for correcting entries--I screwed up royally with the Mississippi River entry in my rush to get at least something for a few of the rivers of North America's great central watershed.

Thanks for the correction. --dja

I installed UseModWiki (0.92) on my old Win98 laptop a few days ago to implement a little project I'd had in mind for a long time, but never could get around to coding. It only took about five minutes to configure and set up a style sheet. Works great for ad hoc notes and reference material, too. You'll need to get the Windows version of the [Apache] web server and Active State's Perl if you don't already have them. For that matter, get Perl anyway, along with Cygwin or DJGPP. --2001-06-09
