Moving pages in Dokuwiki is hard. IMO, that’s the only advantage that Mediawiki or FOSwiki have over Dokuwiki. In every other way, Dokuwiki is superior.
The original reason (purpose for which) that I created this blog was to act as a human-readable change log for my wiki. It then became a journal of my setting up the web server where the blog runs, and thence into a journal of my personal attempts at transformation. Today I have a major change to report about the wiki.
Who I am is the possibility of a world that works for everyone. My promise is to build one. I want you to help me. I love what transformational programs do and what they make available. I don’t like that they’re proprietary (someone’s intellectual property) and I don’t like that they have to cost money.
Not “Enlightenment”, but “Enlightenments”, plural. An ah-ha moment where one realizes something paradoxical, or ridiculous, or both, and suddenly gets freedom and peace (and, in my experience, a good laugh) about it.
The funny thing about the ones I’ve collected is that, until you “get” them–experience them as enlightenments–they seem like really bad news. A few years ago, I made a list of the ones of which I was aware–maybe half a dozen–and shared them with a friend. When I noticed the terrified look on her face, I realized how depressing it all sounded, and I was laughing about it.
“Are you… are you alright? You know you can call any time, any time at all, even in the middle of the night–” and I laughed. “No, no, this is good news, I promise!” and then proceeded like I was trying to explain a joke, with similar results.
After about two weeks of mostly-daily blog posts, I fell into a pretty annoying depression. I think I’m most of the way out now. Consequently, the sprint I had planned from the 2nd to the 8th (odd timing, yes) has been completely scrapped. Items from it were deleted, de-scheduled, or re-scheduled to my next sprint, which will run from the 9th to the 21st. I think longer sprints will work better. I think gaps between them also need to exist and be probably a couple of days long.
A little more honesty and vulnerability below the fold.
(See what I did there? ;-))
There’s a pitfall I found in my previously-discovered meditative trick: while my aim is to become unattached to the thoughts that enter my mind, it’s easy to go instead to a place of resistance–which is really just another form of attachment.
