12 === About the software powering this website ===
14 This web site is powered by my own minimalistic wiki engine called [[GeekiGeeki]].
16 Why would someone host my own wiki, blog and photo sharing when there are dozens of
17 free-beer alternatives online?
19 It's a matter of remaining [[http://autonomo.us/about/ | autonomous]] from online services as
20 much as possible. Call me a fundamentalist, but I find it very disturbing to give up my
21 online identity to services whose conditions are established and changed unilaterally.
23 The [[http://opendefinition.org/ | definition of open knowledge]] is still a subject of
24 discussion. At this time, I tend to boycot those online web services that make it
25 intentionally hard bulk access to data created collaboratively by their users.
26 Examples of badly behaving sites are [[http://www.imdb.com | IMDB]] and
27 [[http://flickr.com | Flickr]].
29 My current personal policy is to use these services in read-only mode, without
30 helping them collect even more information.
32 Call me a fundamentalist for going through these hoops, but I believe I'm acting in
33 my best personal interest. I //do// care about my meta-self, and you?
