I'm [[User:Michael|Michael Slattery]]. This is my personal database about people and stuff on the Internet. I add pages here occasionally, when I have time and energy, about stuff that interests me personally. If you're looking for systematic information sources try instead [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia] or the [http://www.crunchbase.com CrunchBase]. See also my [http://iuserguide.com Internet User Guide] about the technology underlying the Internet.

==All Pages==
I'm currently [http://toolswiki.ouvaton.org/index.php?title=ReFactoring refactoring] this site to remove secondary entries that seem to be of interest to me only, and to keep just entries that seem of universal interest. The next step will then be to flesh out the site, which is pretty sketchy, with more articles.

*Another category structure is currently being added to show English and French pages together : [[:Category:All Pages]].

==Is this website a wiki?==
This website runs on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] software, which is the wiki software used by Wikipedia. This might give the false impression that the website is a wiki. But in fact only registered users can edit pages, and the only registered user at the moment is [[User:Michael|Michael Slattery]].

This website runs on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] software, which is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki] software used by Wikipedia. This might give the impression that the website is a collaborative wiki. But the only authorized user is [[User:Michael|Michael Slattery]], and the site is thus my [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_wiki personal wiki]. Note that [[Loic Lemeur]] has [http://twitter.com/loic/status/67020275639779328 tweeted] that personal wikis seem like "totally a thing of the past."
