It seams that the idea behind my WikiWikiWeb works — as seen on the RecentChanges page, a friendly person has fixed one of my typos on the MartinGeisler page. Thanks a lot!
After I fixed the code for the [PHP Weather][] plugin, I figured that I should make a release of the CVS code. It’s been done for at least six months but it’s never been released on SourceForge. Expect a proper 2.0 release in a few days to go with the [PHP Weather][] WikiWikiWeb plugin.
PhpWiki:ReiniUrban added the [PHP Weather][] plugin code from PhpWiki:CarstenKlapp. It was on PhpWikiDemo:enPhpWeather for some time but never in CVS.
Here is a test of the [PHP Weather][] plugin:
<?plugin PhpWeather icao="EKAH" language="en" ?>
It shows how the weather is where I live.
I’m moving my site to a WikiWikiWeb instead of these static HTML pages. A WikiWikiWeb is a special kind of site where everybody can edit all the pages live in their browser (try it yourself in the SandBox on my Wiki) from anywhere in the world.
Until most of the pages have been moved to the Wiki, you’ll be able to access it here:
When the transition is done, then I expect to install the Wiki as the root of gimpster.com. But now, please go to the Wiki and explore. Perhaps you have something you would like to put on the frontpage? No problem — just place your news for today at the top of this page! Perhaps you have a question about my PhpTutorial? Then just edit the page!
I’ve now uploaded the WikiWikiWeb to gimpster.com so that you can play with it.

I saw IMDB:Memento (2000) yesterday on the bigscreen TV in our basement here at [Skejbygård][] — I think it was Martin Justensen who had rented it on VHS. It was a really strange movie because the timeline went backwards. You saw a clip and then a couple of minutes later you would see action that lead up to the clip you had just seen. So everytime you saw something you had to guess on what could have coursed it: you knew the ending but not the beginning.
The film was about a guy who had lost his short-term memory and who could now only remember what had happened for the last few minutes. So, just like us, he constantly had to try and figure out what he was doing. For example: He wakes up in a bed besides a woman, but he doesn’t recognize her — and neither do we because we haven’t seen her before. This is what makes this movie so different, different in a positive way.
Tonight I’m going to see IMDB:Minority Report (2002) with Tom Cuise. I’ve seen some very good reviews of it, so I’m really excited. Steven Spielberg has made some fantastic movies in the past so I hope that this will be another movie on that list.
(A little later…) I’ve now seen IMDB:Minority Report (2002) and I like it. The story was great and unpredictable, the theme about how you’re going to react if you know your future was very interesting. The question is: if you know your future, do you then do things as to make the prophecy come true? Can you know about the future without letting it affect your actions? Interesting stuff!
I’m starting to learn how to use my new WikiWikiWeb - it gives me a nice dynamic website with a minimum of effort.
