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