Sleepless in Pagosa...

There is one majorly bad thing about falling asleep around 4:30 pm after just having returned from overseas: any sleep you get only works to keep you from readjusting your wake-sleep cycle back to normal. This, despite a tickling in my throat that doesn't want to go away.

In the meantime, I got to wondering how I might be able to embed a Freemind mindmap file in a wiki (and specifically, at my MediaWiki, which has replaced my TWiki installation at springsboard.com). It turns out there is a mechanism to write extensions, and it is so glaringly simple that even someone who's been away from programming for as long as I have can grok it fairly quickly. In fact, as sleep was eluding me, I wrote and documented an extension to do exactly what I wanted and posted the result on the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki site.

My embedded mindmap is here.

Now, I'm thinking I may have to force myself to go to sleep.

Cheers...
