I'm really enjoying the GTD TiddlyWiki. I have been looking for a system for a while, I tried Backpack but couldn't see paying for more pages when I knew that, somewhere out there, there had to be a wiki I would like without having to tweak it into submission and without a steep learning curve. So when I saw GTDTW on lifehacker.com, I decided to play with it.

I'm kinda digging the single local file thing for some purposes. I have one file for GTD stuff -- project notes, shopping lists, to-do list, etc. Since 90% of my work is done at one desk, this works for me. I do want to take a look at the PHP implementation -- thanks Rob! -- but so far, local is fine.

I'm also using a TiddlyWiki as a way to organize all my information for a study program I'm taking -- all my essays, resources, study questions, book reports, unfinished assignments, next steps, etc. Several people have turned in wiki versions of their "final journal" in this course, and I understand why -- it's one of the only ways to keep the massive amount of small assignments in any sort of practical, organized system. I feel like I could actually use my notes and assignments as reference material this way.

In a perfect world, I would be able to link to files on my hard drive and not just folders. But like I said, I'm still playing with it. I may also need to write an autosave routine -- I accidentally wiped four hours of work in my study program when I browsed away from the window without saving. Added another sticky note to monitor: SAVE YOUR WORK, GENIUS.
