Mindtouch dekiwiki is simply freaking amazing. I love it more than I love my own mother. Well, maybe not that much - my mom is pretty awesome. But it’s pretty darn close. The software is clean, fast, efficient, and you can access the community version for FREE!
A lot of people have been throwing out phrases like “document collaboration” and “collaborative workflow,” and it’s a bit hard to understand from a distance. But in a nutshell, all document collaboration is, is just a bunch of people working together on project.
Personally, I use Mindtouch at both home and the office. At home, for ultra-nerdy purposes, I use mindtouch to run a D&D campaign. All our character sheets, backstories, and so forth are placed in a central document location. At the office, all of our customer support, knowledge base, and important information are placed there on a server within our intranet.
EXTREMELY COOL STUFF!!!
Not only is it cool, but the staff kicks ass. The pricing is reasonable, they’re all open-source nerd-friendly junkies, and they’re really big on supporting their HUGE developer community. Check em out.

Unless you’ve had your head in the sand for the past 5 months, you’ve probably noticed that 2009 has sucked some big, fat, hairy dick. We’re in a recession, we have a democrat for President, spending has gotten out of control and every single movie that has come to the box office has blown.
I’ve you’ve read other posts, I’ve actually gone on to describe some of these colossal pieces of failure in detail, so I’m not going to rehash that yet again. But I will go onto say that everything about this year is lame. Starting with the year. It’s an odd number. Odd numbers are gay. You know what else is gay? Barrack Obama. Watchmen was also FAIL.
There is no such thing as reverse racism. There’s racism. That’s it. The very idea of the term “reverse racism” is fucking racist. It implies that you can’t be a damned racist, unless you’re white. And by that logic, since it's completely impossible for, say, a black person to be racist, “minorities” (another word that’s dripping with dumbass) must be reverse racist.
One of these days, people are going to wake up and realize that the best way to address racism is to just NOT BE RACIST. Don’t treat anybody special. Do not exclude anyone. Do not try to fix it by heavy handed measures, because all you’re going to do is make the cycle repeat itself.
There’s nothing that pisses me off quite as bad as somebody who doesn’t actually say what they want. It’s either because they’re too passive or too fantastically egotistical to dignify you with a straightforward question.
Person: “Hey, is it possible for you to rearrange this entire bookshelf?”
Me: “Uh, ya, sure I could.”
Person: “…”
Me: “So - you want me to do it?”
Person :
Me: “?”
On any given Monday I wake up to the sound of a blaring alarm clock and look forward to the next ten hours (counting my commute) during which I’ll be harassed non-stop by obligations, coworkers, and superiors. Most of the time this is going on, I’ll be so frustrated at being here that I won’t get any work done.
But then again, I look back on the weekend and wonder why, when left to my own devices, I didn’t get any work done - and I wondered, if left to my own devices, if I ever would. I guess I’ll just swallow sadness - like a boss.
