OMG! Wiki!

Dec 11, 2008 20:53

So I stumbled across this beautiful web page the other day (Seriously. There's this gorgeous stylistic dragon on it.) and the page was espousing the beauty of having a personal wiki. I was thinking, "Personal wiki? Why?" So I tried out TiddlyWiki today. OMG! Wiki! It's so simple it's almost silly. The wiki is one web page you save on a computer, thumb drive, or some other personal device. Point your web browser to the page, twiddle some security settings, and you're good to go. It's that simple. Oh. And you can add plug-ins (still just one page). And, when you save changes to the wiki, the wiki backs itself up first. The bad? It really is a personal wiki. Having more than one person edit it at the same time would be disastrous. The ugly? It's scripted with javascript up the wazoo.

I have a project I want to keep track of, and I was just thinking about how boring it is to manage it with text files. Then I thought, "OMG! Wiki!" It's like an ear worm.
