Browsing through Wiki, I've decided that

I'm an Extreme Grasshopper, but mostly

I'm an Idiot Programmer and proud of it.


Dear Wiki Diary,

Today, I performed my first Wiki Refactoring moving particurlarly interesting discussion (at least to me) from Refactoring Mercilessly Hides The Forest to When Is Refactoring Finished (now moved to When To Stop Refactoring). Before I refactored, I browsed Wiki and found Fix Your Wiki and Good Wiki Citizen. Although I broke the first rule Don't refactor live threads, I thought the discussion was important enough to deserve a page of its own and was careful not to touch any of the content of the pages. I made sure to Make Wiki Page Backups, so if anyone is terribly upset over my refactoring, I can put things back the way they were.


I have begun thinking about refactoring the whole discussion of Object Relational Impedance Mismatch to remove the Thread Mode stuff. It's a huge task, but, lately, I've had Too Much Time On My Hands and I need to do something I feel is productive.

Along the same lines, I've been reading of the older pages and I Feel Like Writing Something, but I learned long ago that thinking you have something to say and actually having something to say are two different things.


Dear Wiki Diary, I haven't visit in 10 years and so much has changed in my life. I feel like revisiting an old friend or, more specifically, old friends. While it violates the Wiki Now, I want to reread pages that influenced me 10 years ago. Some are here but others, I'm Looking For Pages.
