====== It's a wiki and a blog ======

Tempted as I was to hand-code the whole damn thing like I did with [[http://gamedad.club|GameDad.Club]], I figured if I'm gonna actually blog some shit it'd be nice to not have to update the RSS bollocks manually, so I'm using DokuWiki.  It's all text files, like my folder full of text files called notes/house/plumbing/fuckingwaterheater.txt, DokuWiki eats text files and spits out a website and if you click a plugin it spits out a blog made of blog/firstpostlol.txt and that way of doing things melds with my brainmeats so I'm using a wiki as a blog.  It's fine, just recently I've used a screwdriver as a chisel, a nail clipper as a screwdriver, a soldering iron as a cigarette lighter and a cigarette lighter as a soldering iron, my grasping claws are dexterous and crafty and can turn a thing into another thing //nooooo problem//.

Most things want to be other things.  A blog-wiki hybrid is already everything it wants to be, because it doesn't have to just move forward like a train, it can also go sideways like mold.  You know what I mean, don't you, how websites used to spread themselves out in sections and sections-in-sections growing outwards from the main page over years and years.  They might have a "What's New" bit at the top so you have easy access to the newest leaves on the tree.  Later, the whole website became the "What's New" page and that is called a blog.  It's like a stack of pancakes, you're curious about the one on the bottom, is it crusty, is it growing, is it actually the best one all saturated with the syrup of the ones that came before, but every few minutes the laughing man comes over with his big warm bucket and sticky spatula and he just flops one down on the top of the stack and guffaws //"Enjoy!"// and you just never find out, it's just pancakes until you stop moving.  That's not going to happen here, on this site the bottom pancakes get to put out roots and we're going to watch them grow, we're gonna have **both,** we're gonna have the link labyrinth AND the sit-still-and-just-eat-it slopfeed, and //it's all going to be **fine**//.

I'll make this look pretty tomorrow or next week or never whatever, goodnight
