I actually meant to blog this awhile ago, but I have a question. Is there some level of geekdom that’s passed when your wife sends you an email, in which she has a small list of chores that require your attention and she ends with the instruction to make sure you add said list to your Wiki?
If there isn’t, I think there should be.

I am impressed. Andy managed to find the answer on Google. I wasn’t sure you’d be able to find the pronunciation and the history of the word Seanchai on there, but then I should know better than to ever doubt Google, eh? For the record the Seanchai were traditional Irish storytellers, and it’s pronounced “shawn-a-key”….
Since we leave in the morning to visit Anglea’s grandfather down in Louisiana, and since that means I’ll be out of the office on Monday, and since today marks the first working day of the year, I probably should have thought about the fact that being gone on the second working day of the year…
In addition to tracking down mysteries of not getting virus def updates or Windows Update automatic downloads this week, I’ve also been working on a few other projects. The first thing I wanted to accomplish was using a trial edition of Microsoft’s Virtual PC 2004 to setup an NT Workstation install alongside my XP machine….
If you saw Angela’s post from Friday night, then you probably figured out that we did get the upgrade to Tiger installed on her eMac, and you probably know how much fun she was having with Dashboard widgets. It was a pretty painless upgrade, and once she went to bed Friday night, I spent a…
Josh has run into that wonderful bit of managerial incompetence known as “no planning skills” He assumes that some people just don’t know what a plan is. I’ll go you one better Josh, have you ever had someone hand you a memo with the “Plan” on it and noticed that two of the intermediate steps…

If your chore-wiki was online I could just add things myself. Wait, your chore-wiki is never going online now, is it?
Hmm… can we get that chore-wiki email posted?
[big stupid cheezy grin]
lol – underthethumbgeekdom?
the funny thing is that I was thinking of something similar to that this morning so that Kristen and I would both know what needed doing, rather than both of us paying the same bill!
At the beginning of this year I added a wiki to our family site to maintain a couple of ‘shopping’ lists(grocery, dept store, home improvement).
It’s been working really well as opposed to our old pen & paper lists that always got lost or weren’t updated.
Best part is, it’s a wiki, my wife needed a mere 10 seconds of training on how to add to/modify the lists.
I can’t put it online, the Wiki has much more than my to-do list, it has private information about my workplace, my former workplace, a volunteer organization, etc. I don’t think you’d want me putting that online dear. Besides, it’s on my thumb drive so I can access it even when I don’t have internet access. 🙂
Now if I could figure out a way to share my Outlook calendar with my wife, that would be nice.
you used to be able to post your free/busy info to a website and as long as you/angela had the url configured in outlook you’d both be able to see the information.
The real solution of course is for Outlook to be ical compliant and make it easy to export the data so you could import it into the mozilla calendar application.
I don’t know what level it is, but you should definitely get a gold star.
credit must be given to the Mrs. for knowing what a wiki is.
If I said ‘i’ll add that to my wiki’ I would just get my face slapped.
