@Eric If it's loo, it needs to be "In the Loo" or "On the Loo". Loo alone doesn't make sense and makes @dominica think potty humor is acceptable/normal...

Does it need to be "in the water closet" then?

Pretty much any wiki will give you the same results. What you are looking for might be something more like OneNote. You want a rich text editing experience, not wiki markdown.

If you just put text into MediaWiki, or any wiki really, the wiki markup will run it all together. You have to select your formatting if you want it to do something else. What you want is to tell MediaWiki that the text is "pre-formated". Otherwise you are, by default, telling it that it is unformatted and without further instructions the wiki will mash everything together. Remember a Wiki is like writing a raw HTML page, it is not a graphical editor. It uses Markdown (or Wiki Markup) which is much easier than HTML but is still a markup language and if you don't put in the markup, you are telling it to strip whitespace.

I only watched a minute of the video but it definitely is. There is not enough capacity for the necessary batteries and levitation devices and nothing is used to stabilize it. And when you see it in action it is definitely not real - all other things aside, it's so dangerous that it can't be real.

Pretty sure it's fake

Gonna have to watch this later. Looks interesting. I, in many ways, agree.

Very educational and entertaining.

MediaWiki is the defacto choice here. Never had a speed issue. It's fast and easy to manage. If MySQL is a concern the pmWiki is good and only uses the file system.

Cool I'll probably stick with it for now.

I would.

Hmmm.... Lab project?

I'm totally ordering one of these and flying to work.

Very interesting!

I'll track down the book link.

I have a Logitech case keyboard for my iPad. I like it a lot as a keyboard but not as a case / cover.

@Bill-Kindle that's a good book for learning but definitely get the MSPress curriculum book too. Different approaches and depth.

I am highly mobile and a tablet is critical for me to remain connected.

I especially like having an iPad once custom apps are being made for it. Really enhances the functionality.

I use two iPads and a Kindle Paperwhite for reading. I find the iPads to be great for work and really love the backlit ready on the non-fire Kindle. I use an iPad all day every day.
