Historically, a Colophon was “a statement at the end of a book, typically with a printer’s emblem, giving information about its authorship and printing” (via Google Dictionary).

So, I keep notes on what software and other tools I use, in part as notes to myself.

My personal blog colophon documents software & changes all the way to 2001.

bmannconsulting garden & gazebo (Sept 2020)

Well, WikiJS didn’t last long. The public site is back to running Jekyll, starting from the Digital Garden Jekyll Template and its custom Backlinks plugin.

The public site is the “garden”, which is in a public folder inside the “gazebo”, where I can keep private notes. Stored in a private [[Github]] repo.

Since I have my DNS on [[Cloudflare]], ended up using the Cloudflare IPFS Gateway to link my site up to where it is hosted on the Fission platform. Which means the whole thing is on IPFS. You can browse the archive 2020 folder to see the bare IPFS directories underneath.

I build the site locally and then publish to Fission.

The Garden and the Gazebo has a write up about the setup and the thinking behind what, why, and how.

bmann wiki, bmannconsulting.com WikiJS (May 2020)

As of May 2020:

  • Did some research on Markdown-based flat file / git wikis, thinking about integrating with my blog
  • After looking at the options, keeping the wiki separate and keeping it as WikiJS still makes sense; this was originaly wiki.bmann.ca (which now redirects here) and the bulk of it was food / travel stuff aka Duck Ramen Wiki
  • Imported the Jekyll-based blog that was at bmannconsulting.com into the Archive including bringing in some trimmed and posterous-era stuff back online

Still a WIP, and will write up a blog post once things have settled
