+ | ====== Return! ====== | ||
+ | So hey, it's been a while. | ||
+ | First things first, this is a bit strange no? A blog post, just outta the blue.\\ | ||
+ | An explanation is probably needed then.\\ | ||
+ | I don't really like blogs((They remind me of diaries and I just can't commit to diaries for... reasons.)) but after some thinking, I figured it was a good idea going forward.\\ | ||
+ | Some((Of the five who visit this forsaken site...)), may have been concerned that the site was offline. It's because of HelioHost and not on me((One of the few issues on this site that // | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | So let's move on. | ||
+ | ===== Redoing the site thing ===== | ||
+ | I scrapped the main site((By this I mean the HTML thing)); it wasn't being used and I wouldn' | ||
+ | That being News((Updates to the wiki and stuff outside of it... so this thing.)), stories((Amateur writing basically, original and fanfics.)) and... the rest I guess.\\ | ||
+ | DokuWiki is really flexible so I can just move everything to here and keep the main page only.\\ | ||
+ | Now that there' | ||
+ | ===== News or this blog thing ===== | ||
+ | I said that I'd fix up the news section and add an RSS feed. There were several reasons this didn't work out. | ||
+ | - I'm stupid and lazy | ||
+ | - By that I mean I couldn' | ||
+ | - Editing the pure HTML and RSS files would have been extremely painful. | ||
+ | - I have extreme difficulty committing to semi-regular updates | ||
+ | - Which would have been way worse if done through the pure method. | ||
+ | - An issue that will still plague this solution I imagine. | ||
+ | - I actually forgot the news section existed at all. | ||
+ | Stupid reasons definitely, but I found a solution - a DokuWiki plugin.\\ | ||
+ | This plugin basically solves the issue of my stupidity, it handles the RSS part for me and I don't have to edit pure HTML. | ||
+ | ==== So What? ==== | ||
+ | Now there' | ||
+ | I don't do blogs or diaries so I don't know if this' | ||
+ | ==== Okay, but what's the point? ==== | ||
+ | I'm having difficulty grasping the point myself. But essentially, | ||
+ | But to name some advantages in general: | ||
+ | * Personal Wiki | ||
+ | * More long term | ||
+ | * Information is interlinked more cleanly | ||
+ | * Blog | ||
+ | * More short term | ||
+ | * By this I mean that topics can be based more on what the writer is currently thinking about.((This can lead to some drama stuff, I think, since you're literally just writing what you're thinking in the moment.)) | ||
+ | * People know when you update | ||
+ | * On a personal wiki, unless you specifically look for every new thing there' | ||
+ | Basically, I'll use this place to mention some things that are on my mind but don't exactly deserve a full article yet (it could be a teaser for things to come I guess). Also, when I mention something that has an article... I can just link to it, which is kinda convenient.\\ | ||
+ | On top of site updates and the like. | ||
+ | ===== Stories ===== | ||
+ | So I wanna write some stuff eventually. I was gonna do this on the main site but yeah... | ||
+ | Instead, I'll create a namespace (or 3) and just write them as articles or whatever. I'll also mirror them on FF.net and AO3 where applicable.\\ | ||
+ | The question you all have, of course, is if I have something - well kinda. It's the first chapter of a fanfiction and maybe some worldbuilding stuff. Other than that... no. | ||
+ | ===== The Other things ===== | ||
+ | Same will apply to software and shite((Once I actually sit down and develop something.)). I'll create special sections for them and yeah.\\ | ||
+ | ===== Okay, but what about the wiki? Have you been sitting on your ass this whole time? ===== | ||
+ | ( ;´∀`)\\ | ||
+ | Yes and no. I was sitting on my ass not doing anything, at first. Then the site was offline for way more time than I expected so I started putting some stuff together.\\ | ||
+ | I'll be adding more Key related stuff since Kazamatsuri shut down recently and I decided to steal some content from them.((Don' | ||
+ | Outside of their Key-related descriptions; | ||
+ | I fully realise that that isn't wiki related so I'll move on a little...\\ | ||
+ | At some point I said I'd create grammatical rules that I'd write all my articles in from now on - it's progressing a little. I'm about to get to fixing up the grammar for real, so it'll be done... eventually. Maybe once I'm done I'll even rewrite this post in E7.\\ | ||
+ | I'm also writing some things for other articles and I have new ideas for articles as well. So I'm gonna be adding those eventually.((For those interested - Windows Ricing, Angel Beats!, Extreme Categorisation, | ||
+ | Since I forgot what articles I hadn't written yet on here... yeah those aren't done yet... but I'll get to them.\\ | ||
+ | I'm going to redo [[:start]] because it's a bit dated and people will be confused when they see “welcome to the wiki” after they expected a... normal site.\\ | ||
+ | I'll also be redoing a few of the older articles to get them closer to my current writing style((And if I'm done with it, make them E7.)). Specifically, | ||
+ | Finally, I'll be adding something I call [[lb:Change Stuff|Stuff I want to change but I have no idea how to approach yet]]. It'll be a place where I list articles I want to rewrite but have no idea how to approach it yet. | ||
+ | So yeah, I haven' | ||
+ | ===== Other wiki things ===== | ||
+ | I messed with the .htaccess and shite, so links will be prettier now (it also means that previous links will stop working haha).\\ | ||
+ | More plugins were added, purely for aesthetics or to make some arbitrary things easier.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | I decided to change the template from MonoBook to Newspaper. I never really liked MonoBook, it always felt a little off. To tell the truth, I only picked it for nostalgia. Considering this place is becoming more multipurpose and my writing style doesn' | ||
+ | LoreBook articles((So the actual wiki part of the personal wiki.)) will be moved to their own namespace [[:lb]].\\ | ||
+ | Since this process will take a while, I have no due date and no idea about anything. | ||
+ | ==== Other ideas ==== | ||
+ | I have other ideas, which, while I haven' | ||
+ | First of all, articles available in multiple languages. Beyond simply boosting my ego((This very important information will be spread further!)) there is a more normal reason. A lot of the people I know IRL don't speak English as their first lingua, some don't speak it at all. So I would like to write stuff in Czech for them as well((Or at least provide the articles in Czech as well.)) but there are issues with this. I am shit at translating from English to Czech((But not Czech to English - it's hard to explain...)) and I suck at Czech, so the process would be painful for me. I guess I could ask some of my friend folks to do it for me, but that's kinda shit. Oh well, I ain't doing it for a while anyway.\\ | ||
+ | Second, I thought of opening a BBS.((This might happen sooner or later, depending on how my YT ideas grow.)) Reasons for it are simple, basically to encourage discussion((I think discussion of any kind is extremely valuable, so having a place where I can discuss my shite with other people beyond 1-1 interactions might be nice.)) and that's about it. I would of course be growing that e-peen a bit too much by that point, which is why I ain't doing it for a while. | ||
+ | ===== Anything else? ===== | ||
+ | I had uploaded a few vids to YT. So I'll share them here...\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'll also be uploading more to there as well, because I feel like it.\\ | ||
+ | Yeah, beyond that, not much I guess. | ||
+ | ==== That's it ==== | ||
+ | So yeah, for this update that's all.\\ | ||
+ | Next one next week or sooner, depending on when I'll be done. | ||
