* About metanohi
2013-08-28 21:01:15 +02:00
This is metanohi, the personal website of [[./niels][Niels G. W. Serup]].

about this choice [[/writings/licensing][here]] There may be cases with other licenses. The status of
a page can be seen in the bottom in a metadata box. If no license is specified
in the box, it's either because I forgot to apply one to the page, or it's
because the page has almost no content (like the "Page not found" page) and does
2014-08-02 09:52:30 +02:00
not really require a license, or it's because I don't care.

If you use something from metanohi, please attribute Niels G. W. Serup and
2014-08-02 09:52:30 +02:00
metanohi (unless it's not by Niels, which is rare).

metanohi is run by [[/projects/mege/][mege]]. If you want to use it for a new website (I REALLY
REALLY wouldn't), you may wish to use metanohi as a template.

Get the main site:
: $ git clone git://metanohi.name/metanohi-metanohi
2014-08-02 09:52:30 +02:00
Get the subsites (messy):
2011-08-01 22:39:41 +02:00
: $ git clone git://metanohi.name/metanohi-meta

** SSL/TLS
2014-08-02 09:52:30 +02:00
You can access metanohi from HTTPS. metanohi uses a [[http://cacert.org][CAcert]] (or is it a
self-signed certificate now? I forget). To make your browser automatically
accept CAcerts, follow the instructions on [[https://wiki.cacert.org/FAQ/BrowserClients][CAcerts wiki]]; it doesn't take long.

** History
#+caption: This alien wonders why 'metanohi' was picked.

metanohi was created in 2009 as a spinoff of earlier projects with equally
2013-08-28 21:01:15 +02:00
undefined purposes. Back then the website was at metanohi./org/ instead of
metanohi./name/.

*Note:* While most of the content from the old metanohi has been ported to this
improved version, the modification times have not been saved. This is why old
projects from 2009 and 2010 appear to have been created in July or August, 2011.

*** Choice of name
2011-08-01 22:39:41 +02:00
2013-08-28 21:01:15 +02:00
There are several reasons for the choice of "metanohi":
2011-08-01 22:39:41 +02:00
+ It's unique
+ It's simple
+ It has the meta prefix, which automatically transforms anything into
something cool
2013-08-28 21:01:15 +02:00
+ "metanohi", or at least part of "metanohi", has meanings in some languages

** Language
2013-08-28 21:01:15 +02:00
metanohi is generally only available in English. A few pages are in Danish.
2013-08-28 21:01:15 +02:00
** Miscellaneous
2013-08-28 21:01:15 +02:00
metanohi is mostly XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2 valid. Currently, metanohi.name pages
are served as text/html and not as application/xml+xhtml (as they should). This
might get fixed (it is extremely easy to fix, but if fixed, some things
depending on external JavaScript which depends on non-XHTML, like the FSF
widget on the propaganda page, might cease to work).
