2005-12-01 Moved "blog stuff" from my personal user page to here. // Reasons/etc. below...

2004-11-07 to 2005-11-23: I was CuriousOne because Curious1 was taken.

2005-11
2005-11-23: Since I couldn't transform/rename myself from CuriousOne (with contributions) to Curious1 (notice the lack of edits!) here at en.Wikipedia.org (see WP:CHU), I've decided to become Curious1i [not found on Google!] here (& "everywhere"...).

2005-11-24: My (59) original CuriousOne contributions plus 1 Meta-Wiki contribution (as Curious1)

2005-11-25: Accounts I now have on the (currently) 8 other Sister projects (English-language versions): // unused accounts are to prevent impersonations (on projects I expect to be active in)

 * I guess I'll use this temporarily as a blog of my "learning/growing pains" here at this "Wiki-World/Universe" -- seems there should be a concise term/nickname for "all the Wikimedia Foundation projects" --> *I* will just use Wiki (since Wikimedia doesn't quite capture it) as *my* personal abbreviation.
 * After a few days of intense study about Wiki (and feeling overwhelmed trying to learn lots of meta stuff), I've been reminded to (or chosen for myself) to KISS! (& prioritize) to help prevent my (mild?) OCD/OCPD perfectionism from causing me too much analysis paralysis. [I just hope I don't piss off too many people with my bold edits...]
 * Well, trying to add a simple Wikipedians definition/link in the Wikipedia article has taught me that there's no consensus RE:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Then after asking about a  strange box caused by indenting with spaces instead of colon, I searched Google to learn that I'm not alone in my frustrations/queries.  Finding "article space" stuff is usually much better that a general Google search (even better than Yahoo's "editors"), but, finding "meta" stuff about Wiki seems kinda like looking for subjects that don't have a Wiki article -- thank God for Wiki+Google!!  (maybe my Q's are too tough??  Likewise, I rarely ever ask for PC repair help since I've got Google+Wiki )


 * I'm learning more, especially about the abundance of instruction creep here! I really like the simplicity of the Simplified Ruleset, User:Jimbo Wales/Statement of principles, the Five pillars, & the Policy trifecta (the box to the right...)

2005-12-01:

 * I LOVE WIKI !! (I really think that Wikipedia + the David Suzuki Foundation should/will make the world a better place!!)


 * Although Wikipedia is not a blog, using it as a "diary" works particularly well for me since it's in keeping with my KISS! philosophy -- I needn't find/install/learn/etc. tools to do:
 * easy editing // plus I can practice lots *here* in my "personal sandbox"; AND, I don't need to "worry" (decide/choose/use/etc.) so much about *my* "MT system" (for now)...
 * I can learn/use the "Wiki-way" (meta stuff) instead!
 * versioning (revision control) // in case I want to see how my thoughts have evolved...
 * easy linking to Wiki // which I use (& edit) almost continuously as a "surrogate brain"/reference & for learning...


 * Naming this page "Test" is a good idea since:
 * it's more likely to go unnoticed...
 * "Watch this page" needed to be re-checked to add it to "My watchlist" // I was already watching User:Curious1i
 * I suppose I could move it (again) later if needed...


 * Although I have an (unused for now) account on Blogger.com (Curious1i.BlogSpot.com), I think that Wiki (as I'm using it here) is more of a "Blog++-":
 * + for version control
 * + for easy linking to Wiki // makes my "brain pukes" easier/better...
 * - for being kinda hidden // needn't unduly place extra loads on the Wiki servers


 * Only use headings for really important (milestone?) additions (like today!)


 * This REALLY is much better than my old way of using Notepad/Wordpad!! // and helpful/effective!
 * REMEMBER: I don't need to detail changes to sections below here in this dated section since Wiki keep versioning details for me!!

2005-12-04:

 * I don't mind if others can benefit from my musings here! ;-)
 * While "wasting"(?) too much time on child abuse stuff, I re-learned about goals + prioritizing, and re-learned about other peripheral stuff of import (e.g., rape, juvenile prostitution, ineffective self-defense techniques (link?), etc.)
 * "Artificial complexity" (e.g., scholars/lawyers self-perpetuating industry): perhaps "brain puke" (like my/this blogs/notes/etc.) are just a "rough draft" kinda tool/exercise so can eventually "boil down"/funnel to KISS (e.g., the Theory of Everything as a "1-inch equation" (?) )

 * THINK WELL!

2006-01-22:
 * Dad drove car! -->  good "test" of "my religion"/phil./brain

2006-01-25:
 * Reminded by TV that Relations + Foundations = key ideas! (AI, knowledge, humans, parents, etc.!)

2006-01-27:
 * Why am I more "touched"/emotional re: suicide?
 * Limits of logic?

2006-01-31:
 * AI needed ASAP fro H5N1/etc.!
 * While watching Dad overdo lotion, realized (equal?) compassion needed for Mom/etc.

2006-02-01:
 * Genuine niceness reflected/returned more readily!

2006-02-11:

 * Been too busy to update this.
 * I'm on Google now! I guess is these thoughts can help anyone (else)...

= My "Religion" = More correctly, (thoughts on) "my philosophy about life/etc.":

Basis/Foundations

 * Huh? I think? I'm alive? Others? Science --> Evolution --> "statistical improbability" of life (chance!) --> "lucky to exist!"
 * Happiness
 * Golden rule / empathy / emotions (?)

(how do monospaced font?)

= My Goal(s) =

= Some Reminders = These are mainly self-help for *me* (especially for my OCpD):
 * Most important (since I put on my cellphone?):
 * KISS! // so don't explain them (here/elsewhere!!)
 * Think! LOGICally!
 * be BALANCEd!
 * "Just do it!" (Nike) combats analysis paralysis but reinforces OCpD. // I'm not sure how I feel about the GTD (do I still have/need bk?) "2-minute Rule"...

= Abbreviations = These are some (non-standard?) abbreviations that I personally like to use (especially on *this* page):
 * OCpD = OCD / OCPD
 * RE = regarding
 * Wiki = all the Sister-projects + ideas/ideals of this Wikipedia/Wikimedia "world"...
