September 13, 2003 (idea)

I was working on my sabre23t.blogsite.org, when I finally decided to update the lists of my online "teh tarik" hangouts. Sadly, have to relegate E2 to my "occassional hangouts" list. That prompted a visit here after another long while, almost 9 months this time. Anyway, here are some of the things I did and noticed this time around:

• went through all the /msgs (more than 40)
• sadly many of the messages (more than 30) were from anonymous writeups killers, though I do appreciate ones from sid who is willing to be seen nuking them
• noticed AYAQ 112 The Unity has changed to Surah namespace
• followed up on the /msg requests for changes to my old nodes; E2 Search (remove links to empty nodes), Quran (updated links)
• read about "Do not create or add to subjective 'list' nodes", certainly useful if I'm going to do more noding

Some of my thoughts (while noding this) on why my time at E2 is remembered fondly ...

• instant editing and display of writeups; now blogging software such as Blogger, Movable Type and WordPress provides similar instant edit/display features
• community editing content together; similar to Wikipedia and Open Site
• the first noder has priority, unlike Wikipedia where the last editor has priority

Until we meet again, SLATFATF.
