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