== Future Content ==
I've been brainstorming various purposes for a personal wiki, but haven't yet decided on what content to start with. I want to start an open 3d printed content repository site, to counter the censorship imposed by existing entities today. Perhaps [http://mediawiki.org MediaWiki] would be a viable platform for that.
== Launch ==
A while back, I realized that I had accumulated a vast array of information throughout life, scattered in various locations (papers, apps, memories, textbooks, articles, internet tidbits, etc...), and found it often difficult to recall the exact piece of information when I wanted it. Thanks to the digital era, much of my mind has been "outsourced" to media such as [http://www.onenote.com OneNote], [http://www.evernote.com Evernote], [http://www.mindmeister.com MindMeister], and other tools, but ultimately, these were internal, transient representations of my thoughts. Good for me, but how can it be made more useful?
Well, we all know that good can come of the internet and open-source culture, so, with high hopes for "something interesting", on July 10th, 2015, I started Skyrien Wiki, as a personal epistemological experiment. I've never self-hosted a wiki before (Sharepoint, yes; self-hosted MediaWiki, no), so I figured it's time to. But alas, with so much great information in the world, what can I offer here? This being the internet, I think it's time to experiment.
This is not meant to compete with any general knowledge wiki, such as Wikipedia, which represents some of the best of what the internet can be, but rather, it's a personal wiki, a playground of ideas. I imagine, it will consist of content of my own ideas and writing.
Perhaps in the future, editing will be made public... when the internet proves ready...

Welcome to SkyrienWiki! I am @skyrien, and this is my online knowledge base. Over the course of time, I hope to turn this into something useful, or at least, something uniquely interesting.

This wiki serves three main functions:

  1. Online directory and reference for all public components of skyrien.com
  2. Presentation and discussion of my worldview and experiences
  3. Flatter representation of and repository for my blog

One day, I imagine it will have lots of content, but for now, it's just a few pages.

Be advised: As an extension of my blog, I expect this wiki's style to take on an opinionated, personal flavor, so please be aware that (most) of these views are solely my own, and not representative of their topic or any other formal affiliation. Though I strive for correctness, given that I am my own editor, the presence of errors is not impossible, and I make no guarantees of the accuracy of anything written here. For any business requiring anything more than my personal form of truthiness, I recommend conducting your own fact-checking. After all, this is the internet. :)
