This is a personal wiki, I post my notes and findings about Technology, I.T., travel, computer games, gadgets and there a few articles about just living one’s life.
There are a large number of navigation features available via the sitemap , feeds pages and most importantly the index page, and on the Tag Cloud page. For more ways to find content, check out the Archive page.

More on Copyright
I try to obey the law, which means that there should be no copyrighted material unless permission has been given. All copyright owners material should be and will be recognised. I do exercise my “fair use/fair dealing” rights, and my rights as a blog publisher, etc. etc.
I have tried to conduct a search to identify the copyright status and owners of all third party content, but mainly images, to allow me to comply with the copyright restrictions and obligations. In the case of some images, I have been unable to identify the terms and/or owners but since they are already available on the internet, I have either linked or made local copies in order to ensure the long term availability of the image and for performance reasons. A third reasons for storing images is that wordpress’s featured image cannot function using a remote URL and so I have created a local/cache copy, possibly resized to permit the image’s use as ‘featured’ image.
Either late 2020 or early 2021, I made unsplash,com my main source of images. This was originally CC0 but they later amended it to CC0 except for the purpose of monetising a collection. All my unsplash copies meet their licence terms.
I have usually changed the size and/or cropped the pictures; these are not a derived work.
I have used some pictures which are copyright UK Parliament who publish the pictures under Creative Commons and add additional restrictions. I have complied with their terms.
In the summer of 2025, I started to experiment with text to image LLMs, see AI and images on this wiki; I believe these are copyright free as only human created artefacts can be copyright.

History
This is the home of my 2nd personal wiki.
This first was held in a snipsnap wiki, hosted on a Cobalt Qube and then Amazon. I started to copy it to here, a wordpress wiki hosted at 1and1 in June 2013. Some of the dates set in the new wiki, for articles and comments are not particularly accurate. Not everything was brought over, although currency was not the major test. Some pages were merged; particularly those that are likely to be irrelevant such as stuff about my old mobile phones.
I have a slightly better history at the Site History page. I have attempted to document the major changes by categorising posts as admin.
Over time, I have used the the Nulis and Creatively themes, and experimented with Cronus & Tempo.
I inserted the timeline widget today, as tested in the Site History article. The addthis widgets behave themselves here. It’s a clue.
