About me
Former house mate of Raymond in the Lorina House (August 2000 through May 2001). Lives in Hamburg, Germany. Reads Raymond's two weblogs as part of his daily morning routine. Right between ![[WWW]](/www/moin/htdocs/classic/img/moin-www.png){kind=small}
http://userfriendly.org and http://gnomedesktop.org. Really.

I got married. The wedding was on Oct 11th 2003, and Raymond kindly let me use his wiki for collection the last organizational notes for my /Hochzeit .
Our church is currently going through some troublesome times. I am collecting bible verses that came up during our prayer for the church on the page /GemeindeBibelverse .
Random thoughts
Oops. When clicking the "subscribe" button, I get the message
This wiki is not enabled for mail processing. Contact the owner of the wiki, who can either enable email, or remove the "Subscribe" icon.Bummer. A wiki works really nice, but part of the deal is that I know I will receive an email every time when "really important pages" have been changed by whomever. In other words, even though a Wiki does not know the formal notion of a "maintainer" for specific pages, I still see the requirement for having people responsible for particular pages. For example, the German wiki pages for my two pet projects
http://linuxwiki.de/GnuCash and http://linuxwiki.de/OpenHBCI have proven to be hugely successful (they are within the top-5 each time in the EventStats/PageHits), but part of the deal is that I feel responsible for their content. And in a wiki this is implemented by the possibility to "subscribe" to a page. I.e. each time somebody changes the page and potentially inserts wrong information, I receive an email with the diffs, and even if the change contained wrong information I can immediately step up and improve it until it's correct. (Except that when editing the pages there is this obnoxious option to switch of the email notification, which of course screws up this whole concept. Got some flame fights about precisely this option already.) In short: IMHO The "subscribe" function is an integral part of the wiki concept and they won't work without.
However, as for this particular RaymondYee-wiki, he can of course decide that he's watching it closely enough anyway so that the mail processing is not needed.

Hey, welcome, Christian!! I was pleasantly surprised to wake up this morning and see that you were at work on my wiki during the night! I knew that that I hadn't set up the mail subscription properly -- but now it should work. -- RaymondYee
Also thanks for starting the JoyOfCycling page! -- RaymondYee
