Stefano's World

I’ve written several MediaWiki extensions, mainly for the CLUG Wiki. I don’t think any of them are particularly beautiful or maintained, but they are an essential part of our wiki, and might be useful to somebody out there…

Category Gallery:

Written for ClugPark, this extension displays all the images in a category together, as a gallery.

Usage:

Mailman subscribe links:

Written for the Mailing Lists page, this extension displays mailman subscribe forms.

Usage:

Obfuscate e-mail addresses:

Written for the Contact a Committee Member page. I use my own simple Javascript that replaces innerHTML and href when you mouse over an e-mail link. I think it’s spambot-proof.

Usage:

It appears that you are trying to view a page that you are not allowed to.

Naughty naughty!

Try to find your way again here

Things move around, and people make bad links. Sorry.

Please head to the front page and use the menu or search field to find the page you are after.

I apologise for the inconvenience.

If you find a mistake I can fix, please let me know

As a CLUG member, I occasionally give technical talks. I’m still new at this game, and don’t consider myself to be a particularly good speaker (yet?). But here are my past talks, should they be useful to anyone:

11-05-2005: Video on Linux

27-02-2007: Ubuntu Custom Live CD

26-06-2007: Debian Packaging

12-02-2008: UPSs: nut

27-05-2008: OpenSSL and PKI

25-11-2008: Ubuntu Intrepid

As a Capetonian, it’s a must to get onto the mountain occasionally. I really enjoy a good hike, but lots of Table Mountain’s routes aren’t well documented. You need to have the right book, or walk them regularly (which I don’t).

So I try to document some here, were possible.
