WikiWikiWeb
This is possibly the best idea I've come across
in a long time. I've been peripherally aware of wiki goings-
on, but hadn't had a real use for one until recently, as
I've begun needing a means of managing personal information
and projects. I'm playing with an internal copy of
PhpWiki with patches for handling calendaring
(available from PhpWiki:WikiAsPim). As simple
in concept as it is, this has proven to be the perfect tool
for managing day-to-day informational needs; by being
completely free-form, I can adjust it to the way I best
approach recordkeeping.
DNS
Finally. The domain has been
wrested from Network
Solutions and is now (FINALLY!) pointing at the right
nameserver. Ye ghods, I can't believe how much work and
time I've spend on trying to get a couple of simple changes
made to my delegations. Once the last vestiges of the
transition are complete, I can finally cancel my outsourced DNS services
(I've had nothing but positive experiences hosting with
them, but I need to cut costs and now have the resources to
host in-house; I'd highly recommend them for anyone with a
lot of DNS work to do, and no resources to do it
with).
