Big geeky countdown

Calling all geeks: we are nearing 1234567890 seconds from the time when the Unix clock started ticking at midnight on 1 January 1970. This is almost as exciting as the turn of the new millenium, and double that with the fact it will fall on Friday 13 of this month, at 23:31:30 GMT. We're watching the countdown here in the office, though I'll probably be at home for the big event.

Quick wiki views

Six weeks into having a wiki in the office and it has grown rapidly: we have over 70 pages, and another 20 or so calendar pages. So I'm writing here about how to manage your wiki so it is easy to view and navigate around.

Basically, there are two useful wiki features that allow you to take a glance at what your wiki contains and to help finding the information you need: lists of pages, notably here All pages, and the ability to categorise your pages.

First experiences of writing a wiki (and my first blog post too)

This Monday morning found me being introduced to two new office procedures - regular blog posts, though I was told I can do them slowly and whenever I like, and an office wiki. Don't get me wrong, I am flattered, I can write my own stuff about things in the office - it can get quite exciting sometimes - but phew, two big ideas at once?

Actually, both the blog and the wiki are great ideas. So far so good on the first part of my first blog post. And on to writing about writing into a wiki for the first time.
