Tiddlywiki

In a previous post I was thinking about a way of keeping a jotter to write down ideas. While this is not as spontaneous as a dictaphone or notebook, this tool is one of the best bits of software that I have seen. Jeremy Ruston, thank you!

I have two folders, each with a wiki, and some pictures. Keeping notes was never as fun as this way. One is all about HIT stuff and the other on my other job.

The variety of the offshoots (adaptations) of TwiddlyWIkis is another revelation (one runs in Zope called Ziddlywiki!). Whatever your job, you have a customised Twiddlywiki to write your twiddlers and read them! The nicer way to do this is to use plugins after starting from the basic tiddlywiki - a file called called empty.html about 145K. There are hundreds of Macros that can be added to automate many differernt tasks. These are easy to add too. You can make your own :-)

RSS feeds can be added easily.

Did I mention it is free to download and use? It is open source!
