The Daily Adventures of Mercat

Well, they didn't get the shipment of laptops in. Boo.

However, I started working on my personal wiki today, which I am really excited about. I feel like I finally stumbled on a good way to organize reference links for myself, organize project notes, that sort of thing. I'm debating whether or not I want to include things that are personally important to me, sort of an extension of my blog, or just leave it for personal reference. I don't know... I mean, for example, mom and I were trying to remember all the words to Dr. Seuss' ABC's today (we used to have the whole thing memorized). Is that something I should build a page for? I mean, I don't need to know that, and there's not much else I could put there. So... I dunno.

Thoughts? Anyone else use a personal wiki to get organized?

I'm kind of addicted now, even though it's a pain in the ass to change visual things and there's no way to visually separate the table of contents from the rest of the page. Fnargl.

Also there's no complete way of organizing links by tags... But I can get pretty close. And if not, I can always throw some words in the description and search for them later, hopefully that should work.

So, you know that project I posted about a while ago regarding a steampunk collective website? The ball is rolling. There is significant interest, and people crazy enough to actually help me do this thing! If you are interested in helping design/manage the site, I would love for you to join cog_mgmt. mister_sable, lady_giz, I would love to see you guys there! Is there anyone else here I've friended in my craze for this website?! I cannot remember because I am god-awful with names. D= And I am so so so so sorry. But you're invited too!

Anyway. If you're just interested in the website rather than the behind-the-scenes stuff, there is otherwhengentry, which will start updating once the site is up and rolling.

YAY STEAMPUNKERY!!!!!!!

Lately I've been seriously considering finally getting a webpage put up. A few reasons; it'd be nice to have one place to host all my photos, finally get that webcomic up and going, also a page dedicated to Adventure (COSI) because I seem to be the only fan of it on the planet. (At least I'm sure some Indy geeks would give it some attention.) I dunno, maybe post my art, too? Not that there's much of it. OH, and finally get the Steampunk Collective/Cooperative (needs a better name though) up and running.

I just keep coming back to a few things.
1) I plan to be completely out of contact the next two summers with drum corps, which would potentially be a problem for both a comic and the steampunk site.
2) I would pretty much have to make the webpage dirtybuchwalder, but then that's giving out my real name. I don't mind giving out my real name in the capacity I do now, because I slowly stumble on people and it's more like building friendships than buying a huge billboard. Maybe I could just buy the domain and redirect? But that's money I don't know if I want to spend (yeah, I'm cheap) AND I have to come up with another site name.

Decisions, decisions. =/ Suggestions/discussion is welcome...
