woodstocks_photo.jpgBeer, friends, and computers.

I'm a recent graduate of UC Davis with a BS in Mathematics. I love photography, programming and learning.

I have a LiveJournal which is at [WWW]http://livejournal.com/~codetoad. I don't seem to update it as much as I should, though. I've also got a [WWW]flickr (photo-sharing site) account at [WWW]http://flickr.com/photos/philipn.

My email address is <philipn AT gmail DOT com>. My Jabber (Google Talk) name is philip@jabber.org, and I'm on that fairly often if you want to chat. For davis wiki-centric stuff, please email <daviswiki AT gmail DOT com> (for now).

I'm happy to respond to emails, but please take a look at the welcome to the wiki pages — especially the business owner page. If you have a general question, you should probably ask it on the general wiki community page.

Also see my wikispothome on the Wiki Spot hub.

If you'd like to help out with anything related to the back-end of the wiki please let me know. There's a whole lot of work to be done!

I really like Choice Voting because it's one of those ideas that, once you spend some time and think about it, makes a lot of sense.

"Our minds are finite, and yet even in those circumstances of finitude,
we are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite,
and the purpose of human life is to grasp as much as we can out of that infinitude."

What do I do on the Wiki?

I make a lot of edits. What do I usually edit? These are my most common edits:

Deleting is very important, but should be done with care.

Note to self

Davis from the Inside Out by William D. Diemer. National housing register, 216 F Street, PMB 17. This is an interesting compilation of a ton of Davis related information that can be purchased for $15 at Newsbeat. Somebody ought to buy it to help out with facts/info.

2007-08-11 19:36:27   Whether or not there should be a SacBee page on the Daviswiki is a legitimate question. One of the reasons I moved it is because there was nothing I could find on the page talking about Davis - whereas something like Sacramento News & Review tells you where you can find the publication in Davis. That, and the SacWiki page had more information on the Bee. But if anybody wants to restore the Bee's page, I'll leave it alone. —GeoffJohnson


2007-08-13 11:30:06   I need to create a Sycamore Trac account, I suppose, but for a real quick bug report with a example of the problem, [WWW]captions with leading spaces break html rendering. —JabberWokky


2007-08-17 20:12:53   [WWW]Thanks, not used to the newish address system. —EdWins


2007-08-27 16:58:16   can you use wiki spot to make a wiki for a specific organization, or does that miss the point of wikispot? I.E. ASUCD... ? —StevenDaubert


2007-09-11 14:21:14   i hadn't seen the wcwiki. when i searched for one, that one didn't pop up, so thanks for the info! i will definitely get in contact with nathan and see if he wants to join forces, whether it be on his or mine. thanks :) —JennSuzuki

2007-11-04 17:12:34   the times for events on the events board have all been set to one hour earlier than originally posted. —JessicaRockwell


2007-11-06 16:52:33   Dang Philip you're really fast today. —BrentLaabs


2007-11-07 11:28:42   Thanks for the previewing tip! I will use it from now on. —UUCDstaff


2007-11-12 20:56:37   I think the easiest way to deal with trolls is simply give them some leeway first. Give them time to look around and stomach them for just a smidge. Clamping down too quick leads to the explosive AMG CENSORSHIP type stuff we see every few months (they always cry censorship!), and it generally devolves into destructive editing on their side. Lame. —EdWins


2007-11-20 12:32:45   [WWW]This seems reworded enough, and is such a factual clip I didn't bother to cite your hub Site News edit (which was the original I was working off of). It's edge-case enough so I figured I'd lay it out in the open in case you wanted to add attribution. —JabberWokky


2007-11-22 13:11:46   so when can we expect SFwiki or MissionWiki, love? —MorganFlores


2007-11-26 21:54:47   You got it! :) Actually, it's a double set: one with heavy smoothing to grab the curves, one with a few points and no smoothing to get the nice sharp corners. I then overlaid them and did the text by hand. If you look at the high res version, you can see the joins where the smoothed version and sharp-edged version don't quite line up right. Of course, scaled down to web, it looks fine. I left it high res in the upload as it looks like they don't have a high res version themselves, and figured they might be interested in using the version I made. I've done a lot of "increase the resolution/fake higher dpi" stuff over the years with low res web images destined for four color halftone presses. There's no real good "click a button" solution, but tracing comes darn close for black and white lineart. —JabberWokky


2007-12-01 13:56:49   yay philip, i'd love to add to it if/when/if i can! —MorganFlores


2007-12-05 15:11:01   Hey, if you're car-free and work for the University, take the [WWW]Car-free Campus Pledge during Dec 3-7th and get on the list of UCD people committed to a more sustainable campus. This is for the Jan 31st "Focus on the Nation" event about climate change. —JoRo


2007-12-08 13:10:21   yay! thanks for the response on the bbq. and thanks for bringing vegetarian food! —JessicaRockwell

2007-12-12 08:43:31   Hey, before you go though RC and find the spammer, check out my comment to BannedGroup. —JabberWokky

2008-01-05 20:18:08   Odd. Those were not four seconds apart... —JabberWokky


2008-01-05 20:46:07   Or a combo of the two. Nick just pointed out in IRC that ignoring the POST explains the non-consecutive ones. Now it would be nifty to find a reason for the "no differences found" edits. :) —JabberWokky


2008-01-08 14:23:19   Crap Phillip i think i messed up the main events page but not sure. can you tel lme if i did?-nesa —Nesa


2008-01-11 19:42:38   Brent has the Nolo book. —WilliamLewis


2008-02-06 00:48:17   Hey PN, I have never really tried to be a whistle blower on wiki activity, but what is the proper procedure if we suspect that a post or a number of posts are fake? —GeorgeLewis


2008-02-07 19:01:12   Please stroll thru the recent changes and find la crepe, go thru my edits to see if there actually is a minor bug... When you have the time and the inclination of course —StevenDaubert


2008-02-07 22:42:03   Sorry for being vague, but when I removed suzzette thru quick edit it threw the bullet point list off, and when I went back after the revert and did it thru edit it didn't throw off the bullet pointed list.

helpfull? —StevenDaubert


2008-02-08 21:09:00   Philip, thanks for the "how to" link my name to the sacwiki. Say, I'm using sacwiki as the main page to organize a Fete de la Musique for Sacramento. i was wondering if this is something you all would be willing to help me promote by featuring it somewhere permanently on the main page? Thanks, and thanks for the sacwiki, we certainly needed one. —John.Downs


2008-02-26 11:21:35   Hi Phillip, am I allowed to take some of the helpful pages from the Davis Wiki, such as the faq and basically repost it on my new one? I want to let the project take off, but at the same time don't want to tread on anyone's feet. Thanks —EliYani


2008-02-26 12:51:10   Eli: all of the content on Davis Wiki is Creative Commons-By licensed, which means you can use it without permission. You do need to give attribution to Davis Wiki though. This might be as simple as saying "some content originally provided by Davis Wiki" on your Copyrights page. —BrentLaabs


2008-03-01 07:24:04   Any chance I can get "Great Speeches and Interviews" back on SacWiki? —sgl


2008-03-14 08:25:04   please answer your phone!! —JessicaRockwell


2008-03-14 09:55:38   Hey, nice interview, although it sounds like you nearly got hit by a car or fell off a bike halfway through. And good luck with the caffeine stop. Every so often — once a year or 18 months or so — I drop it completely for a week or so just to make sure I'm okay without it. Of course, I'm drinking over two liters of iced coffee a day, so I think it's sensible to check now and then. By the way, Sarah and I are flying out to the area in late September or October (we're waiting on a firm date for a family event to sync our trip with). We'll be staying with in San Francisco for a chunk of the trip, if you want to meet up somewhere for purely social reasons. When we know for sure when we'll be in town, I'll email you. —JabberWokky


2008-04-03 09:24:46   The link [WWW]http://daviswiki.org/cool_files/omg.pdf is dead, as seen on Wiki Flier. Of course, now it can be uploaded thanks to somebody who added file support... —JabberWokky


2008-04-04 03:08:30   Can I get some details on your bike recovery?! —StevenDaubert


2008-04-04 03:53:26   By the way, I left your image on this entry the April Fool's update because I figure you can switch it back if you want... I'm pointing it out, however, in case you missed it. :) —JabberWokky


2008-04-14 15:01:12   I put the link to the diff because I wanted to show what kind of petty crap she pulled. It speaks to what kind of person she is. —WilliamLewis


2008-05-09 01:20:27   RE: Party:

Anyway, I'd say check with the residents or those associated with the party, if you'd like to be sure. —il


2008-05-13 23:14:26   one shields avenue is the mailing address for the whole campus

you can send something to the silo, one shields ave, or the MU, one shields ave. Etc... Said page could have made sense... —StevenDaubert


2008-05-14 18:02:13   Hi Phillip! Thanks for contributing to the infantile bikesac wiki. I have a couple questions and I would especially appreciate your advice since you're a local cyclist (?). Do you have any suggestions for getting it going? Who should administer it (Sac Bike Coalition, transportation agencies, or other local advocacy groups)? Also how would we get funding for it? Any other advice? Feel free to shoot me an email: cclarkjones@gmail.com. Thanks for your time. :) —ChristaJones


2008-05-17 18:06:38   Nice addition of Mojitos on the featured page. I just might make one now myself! —BrandonBarrette


2008-05-27 01:55:36   I deleted the wiki entry - no longer there >2 yrs, whats the etiquette here instead ? Thanks —stevemori


2008-05-27 20:53:26   Feel free to comment, or change the layout of other pages

DON'T FEEL FREE TO LEAVE MY COMMENTS OUT WHEN YOU DO SO.

okay thanks bye.

Post Script: I always see you in a purple shirt on a roadbike... ¬_¬StevenDaubert


2008-05-28 21:12:07   Nah, just knew a bunch of them. —PS2


2008-05-28 21:35:30   I agree with you that it is a good local resource, but I don't think it's comparable to a newspaper's archives. I think editing it to what's currently relevant makes it more interesting. I think minimizing gossipy-type stuff and student-personnel issues would make it more credible in the long-run as a local resource. I'm all for leaving the general sense of what happened in various "controversies," but do we really need every detail? I guess I would say no. What do you think? —PS2


2008-06-11 21:21:04   Hi Philip, I noticed you moved my counseling addition. At first I thought I was going crazy! Anyways, it appears that you were trying to put it in a more appropriate spot and I appreciate your diligence with wiki; however, how can people find it? And why can't there be a "counseling" heading on the front page? I believe it is very essential to the Davis community, especially with how affordable it can be, which many people are not aware of. —DezareeFinch


2008-07-14 21:48:07   Why? —RussellPepperwood


2008-07-14 23:20:41   The content I deleted on the Hoa Viet page is just a copy/paste of one of the comments, and offers a lot of opinions but not objective information. —MaryLieth


2008-07-15 17:11:38   At the moment, yeah. I haven't added to my profile yet because I wasn't sure how permanent it was going to be. —ElleWeber


2008-07-15 17:16:04   Saw you reverted those edits :) Wasn't trying to spam though, I swear, just linking like I do all the time. I'll leave it alone. One question though: have you visited the website? It's an honest resource for UC Davis, no catches, and doesn't even have advertising at the moment. —ElleWeber


2008-07-15 19:03:36   Can you help me create a new wiki? I'm moving across the country and cannot live without the wiki. Can we use the existing templates on Daviswiki for Lexington.wikispot.org? —William.Peacock


2008-07-24 20:38:06   Thanks! By the way, I noticed that you also supposedly received the email a couple days ago about some sort of "venture capital" wiki thing. I'm not really sure why the company emailed me in particular... Do you get those types of emails a lot? —MaryLieth


2008-07-25 09:44:19   Mary - I got one several months ago, and it appears to be a scam, or at least the one I got appeared to be. —JabberWokky


2008-07-25 15:40:46   Aw, heck... I was thinking it was tomorrow. :) —JabberWokky


2008-07-29 22:27:48   There really needs to be an option for a "crunch" or "rip" sound when you delete certain files. —JabberWokky


2008-07-31 20:26:32   Hey Philip, Just thought you should know that the pic you put on the featured page isn't showing up properly. It still shows up as the picture from the "toilet" page (or whatever it was). However, when I click on the pic, it shows up as the photo I think you had intended it to be. I fished around a little to try to fix it myself, but I couldn't pinpoint the problem. —MaryLieth


2008-08-01 07:40:06   Re: Featured Page Image: Also, if you resize the image by one pixel, it forces a reload. I haven't checked with Internet Explorer. —JabberWokky


2008-08-01 15:16:18   That's a beautiful bike church shot, btw. I showed it to my bike and we cried for a while together. So sad. Save the bike church. —jefftolentino


2008-08-15 16:14:41   Hello there Philip! This is Jennie from the obscure but existing Oneonta Region wiki. It was very kind of you to make those changes, and I'll bet it looked like it needed changing...but sadly I am very unhappy with the changes. Unfortunately, I don't possess the computer ability or the time to make the site ideal...but I find that now it is kind of lost...pages are hanging around, don't make sense. The Garden page and Groups page are really important and are now hard to find by people who are being lured to the wiki.

I can see how, now it is more democratically arranged, no hierarchy...and that should be a good thing. I just find it hard to really enjoy in the state it is, and hard to lure people in to read and contribute. Right now, I'm probably still the main contributor, and I haven't made a contribution lately.

What I really want is an ALL PAGES that has clickable photos of the different places you can go...but I don't know how to do that.

Can we go back to the previous set up...?

Yours with warm regards
Jennie


2008-08-24 21:56:59   I don't think that his height is relevant, and saying "despite this" portrays being short as a negative trait. —IDoNotExist


2008-08-24 22:00:59   Some variants on the same phrasing to think about: "Robert Reich is 4'10" and despite this is an excellent economist and served with distinction as a Clinton cabinet secretary."
"My cousin is 4'10" and despite this is a top ranked doctor."
"Napoleon was 5'2" and despite this managed to take over much of Europe and build an empire in only a few years."

Why is the height relevant? If he's a good police officer, he's a good police officer. —IDoNotExist


2008-08-24 22:13:13   I know lots of people who have some attribute that is out of the ordinary. But they can still do their jobs just fine. Does any other wiki page say <person> has <attribute> but despite this can still do <job>? —IDoNotExist


2008-08-25 11:53:43   Whups... I meant to *remove* that comment. —JabberWokky


2008-08-27 13:43:40   Give a perspective award to the man! —JabberWokky


2008-09-08 08:43:34   I take it that the new IWRC means that there is new code? —JabberWokky


2008-09-08 22:02:43   I've got no problem with the move, I was just looking for a clean slate and a place to later refer to the consensus. Thanks for fixing the link. —JasonAller


2008-10-16 05:09:20   Thank you! —EdHenn


2008-12-02 15:30:24   That letter I wrote to Lois Wolk? Or that letter to the editor I wrote to my hometown's local paper? —WilliamLewis


2008-12-28 12:20:56   I was wondering if we can do something like this on every page for our fundraiser:

DW-fundraiser.gifBrentLaabs


2009-01-10 11:02:50   Hopefully an easier request: can you edit creation of a new talk page to add a link to the word discussing: ["Talk Pages" discussing], so that the page gets auto added to the Talk Pages list.? —EdWins


2009-01-27 21:38:27   Thanks for the thanks! I guess I've been homesick lately and I'm grateful for a spot where I can get some home vibe and where I feel welcome to share about the Davis I grew up in. I've travelled all over the US and there's really no place like Davis. It pops up in news a lot for a town its size. —JohnBaker


2009-01-28 08:01:19   It took me about two years of active campus surveying and research before I felt I could make that edit with confidence. —EdWins


2009-01-28 18:30:57   What is your problem? I'm not defaming, spamming, libeling, trolling or anything even remotely like that. —MaryLieth


2009-03-07 23:55:42   test —PhilipNeustrom


2009-03-19 22:52:31   Thanks for your help, Philip...I'm in!!! —AprilAries


2009-04-02 17:55:31   The original version was, "Or simply... why are you wearing a ski mask and latex gloves at a pot luck picnic?" —JabberWokky


2009-06-03 20:44:48   thx :) —jefftolentino


2009-06-18 03:06:28   Thanks for the photo of "BESSIE/TAS". It's always fun to find pieces of our history that I wasn't able to catch. =) —CherieWilliams


2009-07-29 14:24:19   Supposidly you are an admin so if you want to delete the PC vs mac page again, I wont interfere, however I see no reason why it cant exist. Its not particularly important but so what? Its for fun informative discussion about the choice of an OS, which actually is somewhat useful. As a computer tech I am genuinely intersted in why people use certain OS's. I'm sure there are many people like me who dont know much about OS's that they dont use. Since you deleted it last I have made changes to keep it more on topic. —RealComputers


2009-08-02 14:09:15   That's OK. You can tell me. I don't exist anyway. And it's not like anyone would see anything you post on the Wiki. It's not like it's publicly viewable or anything. ;-) —IDoNotExist


2009-08-07 00:29:58   Are we getting denial of service'd? I'm seeing long periods of non-responsiveness, followed by long periods of good responsiveness. —IDoNotExist


2009-08-20 06:03:03   Just bowing to community consensus, which at this point has rendered the majority of the wiki uneditable. Tag it and walk away is today's mantra. User entries, discussions, comments and attributed text probably accounts for over half the content of the wiki now, and as those are off limits to editing, it's hands off deleting, editing or otherwise treating the bulk of the content on this site as if it were on a wiki. That's not to say that there's not a place for every single one of those things... extremely good examples of appropriate instances of all those can be found scattered throughout the wiki. But at this point, there's zero tolerance about altering most things here, even if it is a positive edit1. For the vast majority of people, this is a comment board where their words are theirs solely to change or retract, and the words of anybody else are not theirs to edit in any way.

(Don't worry about me — I'll probably be less bitter after I head out and buy some coffee to brew. Stupid empty bags. ;-P ) —JabberWokky


2009-08-27 10:03:19   Hi, We're building a rather big project on Wikispot and I would like to know how to procede with backups.
Thanks! —karlbourassa


2009-09-08 20:18:54   Thanks for your comment. Check out [WWW]http://espressomap.com/ for recommended cafes in north america. Actually, Vancouver is a mecca of great coffee. New Zealand supposedly doesn't have ANY bad cafes. Australia is in a coffee revolution. Japan and Korea are also has their coffee enthusiasts. It's true though, the vast majority of people have either somehow adjusted to terrible tasting coffee or just put tons of milk and sugar in it... and it still tastes terrible. —CoffeeSnobDavis


2009-09-20 02:49:01   I know. —WilliamLewis


2009-09-20 03:29:44   You're really going to know harassment when we drag your ass to trial in five diff states. —lawdog


2009-09-20 03:56:32   If I wasn't grown up, you'd be getting your head slammed into the sidewalk right now. Who's that in room 6 with his face falling off?


2009-09-20 09:07:33   Maybe you will kick my ass, but I am going to confront you in person and tell you to back off and not post defamatory things about me. I read other comments about you and you are another online bully. We'll see how tough you are to my face and not hiding behind a computer screen. —DavidBaron


2009-09-20 10:08:05   I left a comment on WilliamLewis' page, and I'm being brave to x-ref it here. So much crazy writing, and threats of violence! —DougWalter


2009-09-20 14:36:00   ahaha, thanks, you beat me to it. —JoePomidor


2009-09-20 14:53:36   The truth is I have been stalked by someone for about five years now. This is all public information. Restraining orders, injunctions, lawyers, money—none of that will stop him from coming after me and defaming me online like on this blog. This person sends threatening emails and talks about how he rapes and sodomizes his own children and dog. He talks about me being dead and him dying too. His email is molestor@rape.com. I don't understand why someone would say that they rape their own children. The person has paid me over $50,000 in settlements and court sanctions. He has spent over $50,000 in legal fees as well. Still, he won't keep posting stupid things about me online. He doesn't care about the police and laughs about them. The rape theme has really intensified in the last month especially. He made a video about me and put it on YouTube and posted that I ". . .deserved to get raped as a child and enjoyed it." This person harasses my employees and I am embarrassed when my assistant sees emails calling her a "cunt," etc. I think he crossed the line this time with the talk about raping his own children though. I was told the only way to get rid of a person like him is to ignore them no matter what. Restraining orders and lawsuits are like marriage licences to psychos. Then they really feel like they have a commonality and a lasting, durable bond. It has been really hard to ignore these dozens and dozens of emails and messages. One of his last ones says he sodomizes the family Golden Retriever until it "bleeds from its asshole." See, you need to get these emails from me and get someone to help his children. Someone that says that he rapes his dog and his children with impunity needs to be stopped. I don't care about your idle uninformed threats; this guy who says he rapes his children and dog says he's going to kill me. Nothing you could do to me comes close to what this person has done to me. Hundreds of vulgar, obscene emails and a systematic terror campaign over five years. I'm not making any of this up and have everything documented and recordings of him saying to my employee she "deserved to get raped and fucking molested" as a child. Now he says writes he rapes his kids to try and hurt me. Friday, a Placer County Sheriff Deputy was sitting in front of my desk and an email came in saying that going to the police is not a good idea. I think it is a wonderful one. I signed a citizen's arrest and maybe his children will get help now. If you want to help, you need to a) contact me and I'll forward you the emails of him saying he rapes his children, and b) contact the Placer County District Attorney's office and anyone else you can think of to try and get this person locked up and his children away safe. Call me if you would like to hear the recording. The person is Kevin Salem aka Kawian Salim, 5908 Asbury Court, Sacramento, Ca His telephone is (916) 485-3647 and the name of his business is All Breeds Dog Training aka Real-Life Dog Training and aka All About Dog Training and Behavior Corporation. The website is www.DogSecrets.com. Please email from the contact page on www.Superdog.com. I can be reached by telephone and have the recordings available at the Sacramento number. My business has never been sued and we have never even been to a BBB sit-down mediation that we are required to participate in. We were a BBB member for five calendar years. We are the good "clean" one. Look at this page www.superdog.com/superdog_people.htm. This is who we are. Say what you want, but the Home page of my website has 54 dog s we trained off-leash which is about 50 more than any other dog trainer's in California. Our spotless record, photos, nine videos and our Method page www.superdog.com/superdog_method.htm our Philosophy page www.superdog.com/superdog_philosophy and Behavior page www.superdog.com/superdog_training.htm our Curriculum page www.superdog.com/superdog_curriculum.htm and the nine videos www.superdog.com/superdog_videos.htm and that only a couple people out of thousands and thousands in the Sacramento area, the Bay Area, Los Angeles/Orange County and in six other states ever complain. —DaveBaron

My only concern is that a lot of new freshman are coming onto campus, a lot of people are talking about D-wiki being a great resource, and we have this slanderous drama-bomb going off at the same time. —MaxMikalonis


2009-10-28 12:29:40   I did not make any threats. —RealComputers


2009-10-28 12:40:42   And I wish I didnt even have to mention the idea. —RealComputers


2009-10-28 12:47:44   I'm reading through your comments and I really dont think you are being fair at all. I am trying to protect myself and my business from what is literally a force of bullying. I am not going to get into the who said what of anything anymore. I dont bother anyone here, I amke a few small edits here and there and people over react and start using harsh words when none are needed. I can not count the number of times that I have added some small peice of info to the Real Computers page only to have it removed by someone, re-added by someone else and the debated for a few days. I dont want to be in these meaningless arguments at all. I have been asking people to just back off for a long time now and I get no response. People continue to talk around me as if I am some kind of issue without facing me directly because at that point you realize that I;m just trying to get by here without all this negativity. I certainly never start it. I am reaching to desperation by pointing out that some of the things that have been said and done here do qualify as cyber bullying which is something I can press charges for. I obviously just want this to stop, I dont want to have to take any legal action. You could easily end all of this by just asking users to drop this. —RealComputers

2009-11-01 14:14:20   a charter city is another idea that looks great for the city but in reality sucks, just like choice voting. Avoid like the plague —StevenDaubert


2009-11-01 14:38:46   if the last two city elections were choice voting they would have been sadly skewed towards the agenda that I do not support. You just went here for college, I don't expect you to understand why it's bad for Davis. —StevenDaubert


2009-11-01 14:55:15   tl;dr —StevenDaubert Kidding with that, I've been parroting an argument against choice voting that comes from someone who wants to remain anonymous. I will get an itemized list of why I/they think it's horrible for Davis, not to say that it isn't a fun system.


2009-11-03 17:37:32   Just saw you in the NY Times! [WWW]http://s.nyt.com/u/DiBIDoNotExist


2009-11-03 22:18:51   How did you get contacted by them? Was it random? —IDoNotExist


2009-11-14 11:45:41   Hey Philip, So I tried sending you an email, but it didn't work so I am trying this instead. ok so I am a college student and for my last english paper we have to do a paper about local wikis, and seeing as you are the co creator of a very successful local wiki I was hoping I could interview you for my paper. So if you are ok with that and even if you are not just let me know my email is jsteve13@heartland.edu Please email me!!! —JStevenson
