Ugh.

The backing track I have is using much lower tempi than those to which I am accustomed for three of the movements. I'll have to decide whether to adapt or try to find different tracks.

Maybe it'll make more sense when playing.

Help wanted from techie types.

I think we need a wiki for techipcom. I don't think it's going to be sensible to keep using a livejournal community for things like keeping track of online and meatspace resources. For example, I'd like to be able to compile a database of skills in order to see how practical this is going to be. I'd like to compile a list of books that various people have, so we don't end up with duplicates or triplicates (when funds could be better spent elsewhere). I'd like to keep a good links list with sub-categories and the like, without having to be the only person who has access to edit it.

I would still like some of the more thought-provoking, responsiveness stuff to show up on LJ, because it is a good discussion forum and because most people who are involved with this so far actually do read LJ. It would be really neat if people could be notified by e-mail or LJ when resource lists on the wiki are updated. Is this possible with an RSS feed of some sort, or a special LJ account and a button to press on the wiki?

How hard is it going to be for me to set up a wiki? I have some webspace on anarres.org but I don't really know what is available to me there (my stuff is all done with html in my public_html directory, also it is YEARS out of date and I need to have a go at fixing that). Alternately, are any of you techies bored enough to setup/host one on my behalf? What do I need to know about wikis? What do I need to know about security? What do I need to decide before deciding on a wiki? How hard is it to change to another sort of wiki or change aspects of a wiki once I have started?

Because I love light-up pretty things and I want to start cycling more...

I want me some of these things. Blue ones, of course, since they don't stock purple or white.
