Simple HTML to Wiki Converter

by Ian Smith Aug 20th 2007

With the help of the html2wiki converter you can easily convert any HTML webpage, Google doc, or blog post into the correct Wiki compatible markup. This is especially useful for those of you who don't use wikis regularly and are frustrated with having to learn a whole new markup language just to get your document to look right on Wikipedia or your office Intranet. This WikiConverter will fetch a document from the web and produce markup for any of 16 different kinds of wikis, including the popular PBWiki and MediaWiki flavors.

Wiki's posting language is practically a barrier of entry for people interested in posting what they know.

If someone knows html and can't learn wiki in 30 sconds... I don't know what to say.

Very useful to me. HTML is a kind of standard for me. Is many times more usable than wiki syntax. I often store my works in RTF or HTML format, so this converter can help me easily fill my wiki with articles from old page, articles written on my Handhed and other works that weren't intended to use with wiki.
Eg. I can write and format page in bus or train and then add it to wiki in two steps.
BIG THANKS!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
