This page is about this website, if you want to know who Tim is head over to AboutTim.
This wiki is a giant notebook that travels around with Tim and is open to the public. So it is full of:
ideas -- written down so I can come back to them later, usually not linked to by any page, go to OrphanedPages
InterestingProblems -- things I consider interesting
finished pages -- like LectureNotes and PC3762
Basically everything you would write down in a notebook I write down here. Over time I have come to the conclusion that it is much easier to use a WikiWiki because you can copy&paste, show it to people, attach large documents and illegible handwriting does not get in the way
I invite everyone who has an idea to contribute or update any of the pages here. Often people are unsure if they should edit something or not, the rule of thumb is when in doubt edit! Especially in the WikiSandBox.
What is all this WikiWiki huha about?
A Wiki is a collaborative site, anyone can contribute and share:
Edit any page by pressing Edit at the right hand side of the page
Create a link to another page with joined capitalized words (like WikiSandBox) or with ["quoted words in brackets"]
- Search for page titles or text within pages using the search box at the top right hand side of any page
See HelpForBeginners to get you going, HelpContents for all help pages.

How to get started
To get used to how to use a Wiki the best thing to do is head over to the WikiSandBox and play around with it. As it is a sandbox do not be shy, you can not break it nor upset anyone, its meant for trying out stuff.
