I’m always behind the times. I just discovered Tiddlywiki<\/a> and I love it!

\nWhat is TiddlyWiki? Well, okay, first of all it is a kind of wiki. But, here is the first interesting fact, it is a serverless wiki: TiddlyWiki is exactly one file. This file is written in a combination of html\/Javascript\/CSS, so you just view this one file in your browser. When you edit your wiki, it just updates this one file. How cool is that. This means, for example, that you can put your tiddlywiki on a thumb drive, and carry it around with you to use where ever you find a computer with a browser. Indeed because Firefox has a portable version you can fit the browser and wiki on the thumb drive. You can also keep a version uploaded to your website so you can access while not in possession of the local copy (see UploadPlugin).
\nI’ve always wanted to start a series of notebooks like Cosma<\/a>‘s and TiddlyWiki seems like the perfect fit. Indeed my discovery of TiddlyWiki was inspired by a similar notebook project by a famous surfing physicist<\/a>. I’ve started up using a personal TiddlyWiki for keeping a working journal\/projects\/todo and so far I am really liking the functionality that one can get. There are an amazing amount of plugins written for TiddlyWiki (LaTeX functionality is pretty smooth), as well as TiddlySnip which is a Firefox plugin for directly importing from web pages (note that you need the newest version to work correctly with Firefox 3..see here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
