PmWiki restored

Restored PmWiki today. I was getting a 403 page, and found out that URLs generated by pmwiki engine lacked the pmwiki.php at the end, as in
http://www.soours.com/wiki/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Soours.Construction
which was spelled
http://www.soours.com/wiki/pmwiki/?n=Soours.Construction
notice? nothing btw the last ‘/’ and the ‘?n=’
It took me 3 minutes in PmWiki’s wiki to locate the main configuration fil’s name (called, believe it, /pmwiki/config.php), and to modify the line starting with $ScriptUrl as such (it was effectively missing the final ‘pmwiki.php’, so I probably saved it without editing when I tweaked PmWiki).
$ScriptUrl = 'http://www.soours.com/wiki/pmwiki/pmwiki.php';

K. Kelly: When copies are free, you need to sell things which can not be copied

« …I see roughly eight categories of intangible value that we buy when we pay for something that could be free. (…) these are eight things that are better than free. Eight uncopyable values:

  1. Immediacy = early use, like hardcover books (vs. paperback)
  2. Personalization = customized, tailored for single user
  3. Interpretation = « software, free.The manual, $10,000 »
  4. Authenticity = « Digital watermarks and other signature technology will not work as copy-protection schemes (copies are super-conducting liquids, remember?) but they can serve up the generative quality of authenticity for those who care »
  5. Accessibility = Many people, me included, will be happy to have others tend our « possessions » by subscribing to them.
  6. Embodiment = there will always be new insanely great display technology that consumers won’t have. (…) nothing gets embodied as much as music in a live performance, with real bodies. The music is free; the bodily performance expensive
  7. Patronage = audiences WANT to pay creators. Fans like to reward artists, musicians, authors and the like with the tokens of their appreciation, because it allows them to connect
  8. Findability = When there are millions of books, millions of songs, millions of films, millions of applications, millions of everything requesting our attention — and most of it free — being found is valuable.
