   Format: MarkdownItexFour new personal webs created recently: 1. [[kevinlin:HomePage]] Kevin Lin, public web 2. [[kevinlinprivate:HomePage]] Kevin Lin, private web 3. [[ibakovic:HomePage]] Igor Backovic, private but published web 4. [[lspace:HomePage]] Andrew Stacey, public web --- lSpace is a web where I intend keeping notes on papers (and other stuff) that I read, or intend to read. I find that I often bookmark articles on the arXiv "for later reading" but forget why, I often take a look at a paper for something, make a few notes, and then later find either the article or the notes but can't remember what either of them is about, and similar. So keeping this on a wiki seemed a reasonable idea. It's linked from my bibliography database so I can easily create new entries and go back and forth between entries on the wiki and in the database. It's public because there's no good reason to make it private; I can't think of a reason why anyone else would go there, but just because I can't think of it doesn't mean that there isn't such a reason. The name is chosen to indicate two things: firstly, that I read books _other_ than by Tolkien; secondly, that I often feel that my "categorical number" is about two less than everyone else's around here! The others can speak for themselves.

   lSpace is a web where I intend keeping notes on papers (and other stuff) that I read, or intend to read. I find that I often bookmark articles on the arXiv “for later reading” but forget why, I often take a look at a paper for something, make a few notes, and then later find either the article or the notes but can’t remember what either of them is about, and similar. So keeping this on a wiki seemed a reasonable idea. It’s linked from my bibliography database so I can easily create new entries and go back and forth between entries on the wiki and in the database. It’s public because there’s no good reason to make it private; I can’t think of a reason why anyone else would go there, but just because I can’t think of it doesn’t mean that there isn’t such a reason.

   The name is chosen to indicate two things: firstly, that I read books other than by Tolkien; secondly, that I often feel that my “categorical number” is about two less than everyone else’s around here!

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks Andrew for setting this up for me! I am not yet sure how I will use my nLab web(s). My notes are often very unorganized, and I often lose them or lose track of where I've written something down; so I plan to use my personal web as a searchable, consolidated place to keep important notes. I also plan to use it as a place to keep track of papers and references. Perhaps I will try to maintain a personal annotated bibliography. For now, I'll probably only use the private web, and then move things to the public web later on.
