Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Ping Island Strike‘s latest photos are a big dewar of liquid nitrogen and large hunks of foie gras.
I wonder if they’re planning foie gras-sicles.
I have to go to McCrady’s more often. Any restaurant that has a dewar of LN in the kitchen just has to be an interesting place to eat.
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough

The two wikis I set up for other groups to manage their documentation have now expanded to four (including my Medical Physics wiki). At about 45 MB for just the code, I realized having multiple Mediawiki installs running around was quickly going to suck up a lot of disk space and be a PITA to manage, especially for upgrades.
Fortunately after combing through the manual and FAQ I came across pages about setting up a Wiki family and another helpful link for setting up multiple wikis on the same server.
After trying it out on my test server, I now have all four wikis running off the same installation (took about 20 minutes). One copy is much easier to maintain than 4 separate ones, although one significant flaw in Rumberg’s approach is that if future versions introduce new files, some of them (depending on where they’re located) will have to be manually linked into the other wiki’s. Still much better than having to manage multiple installations.
Now what I need to do is set them up with a common help that’s sufficiently customized for the local installation.
