I guess you know how it’s gonna end

I’m a scientist, and I’m okay
I code all night and I read all day

I run my tests, commit my changes
I go to the laboratory
I read my news on the Internet
And check the economy

I’m a scientist and I’m okay
I code all night and I read all day

I run my tests, I check stock prices
I talk to undergrads
I put on expensive clothing
And hang around in bars

I’m a scientist and I’m okay
I code all night and I read all day

I run my tests, I wear a suit
A top hat and a tie
I wish I’d been a Biz’man
Just like my classmates!

I’ve been working recently to setup a webserver for my work group at UFRJ. After talking to some friends, I decided that the best idea to set up a common main page for the laboratory was to use some sort of wiki. So that everyone can edit it without too much trouble.

Now, there are SO MANY wiki solutions that it is kinda hard to choose the right one. Fortunately, I managed to find the Wiki Matrix. Wiki Matrix is a website that helps you compare wikis. You can use a “wizard”-like questionnarie, where you specify what are you looking for, and what you wish for a wiki, and they will filter their data base for you. Going through their wizard, I managed to reduce my search from 200-something to 18 wiki softwares. After that, these wiki softwares are displayed side by side with a feature list, and you can hide certain features you don’t care about. I managed to further refine my search to 3 wikis, with DokuWiki the clear winner (and two more in case I can’t use it for some reason).

So even if you already have a favorite wiki, give Wiki Matrix a chance before making a new installation. Some of their comparison criteria, such as date and frequency of software updates, were very useful for me.

I love Minecraft animation videos. This one is a very short one about the survival map “Skyblock”

Survival maps are user-created challenge maps in minecraft. They limit the starting available resources, so that you must use creativity and resource management skills to thrive in such maps. Eventually, you can improve your conditions by making use of renewable resources.

Skyblock is one such survival map: The map is completely empty, except for a very tiny sky island (shown in the video).
