== About codewiz.org == This website hosts my personal [[http://codewiz.org/ | wiki]], my [[pictures | photos]] and my [[BrainDump | blog]]. === About this wiki === You're welcome to edit these pages! Practice in the [[WikiSandBox]] and read the [[EditingTips]] to get started. Editing requires authentication. If you don't have an account, you can login as **Anonymous****Coward** with empty password. Your IP will be logged in the edit history. === About self-hosting your online identity === This site is powered by my minimalist wiki engine, [[GeekiGeeki]]. The [[http://opendefinition.org/ | definition of open knowledge]] is still a subject of debate. At this time, I avoid web services that disallow bulk access to data created collaboratively by their users. An examples of such badly behaved site is [[http://www.imdb.com | IMDB]] and [[http://flickr.com | Flickr]]: both have been created with data provided by users, but access to this data is only possible through the service, and bulk downloading is not allowed. On the other end of the spectrum, [[http://wikipedia.org | Wikipedia]] provides an interface to dump the entire database, including the edit history. This is what we should demand from any online resource built collaboratively. When choosing where to host your data, take into account this important freedom.
