From Notebook
Hi.
I am the Cerebrate[1]), and this is my Notebook.
By Notebook, of course, I mean giant dumping ground of random stuff which I may have found, or expect to find, or might find useful at some point or other, for some purpose or other, or just want to remember (currently 1,817 in stock). That's fairly general, but so is the content of this wiki.
(This has also replaced all of the pages located under siliconcerebrate.com/documents - if you've just been redirected from there, no need for confusion. You were supposed to be.)
Also, it lets me preserve the content of things I've found useful, the Web being, as ever, an annoyingly transient medium.
Also also, it's something of a playground to see how much things cross-link if I Wikify words freely.
Where sources exist, I'm citing them; if you see something without a source that you know has one, do feel free to let me know.
(The main pages of this Wiki are only editable by a select few - just me, at the moment (and me!) - as this is after all my Notebook; but if you want to drop me a note regarding something you see here, feel free to e-mail me .)
As can easily be seen, the Notebook is running on MediaWiki. (Credit for the Notebook concept belongs to Jon Eveland of http://jwenet.net/).
Finding Your Way About
Probably the easiest way to find pages is through the category list, the index of all pages, or the search box to your left. However, here are some of my most-used categories:
If you find any of the information in my Notebook useful, please feel free to defray our running costs a little... :)
