Un-Kinked GTD Tiddly Wiki Plus

When I discovered GTD Tiddly Wiki Plus, I thought I could use some of the other great Tiddly Wiki plugins to help automate collection, processing, and general task organization. While kGTD was nice, I thought the "sync" requirement was a little lame and it was not portable going from MacOSX to HPDA to HPUX to RH to Windows and back. I wanted a kGTD that was printer friendly and portable. GTD Tiddly Wiki Plus had the potential to be that.

So I've put together this prototype:

I was going to wait to release anything, but lately I haven't had a chance to finish things up, so I figured now would be a good time to collect feedback.

[INDENT]Safari users: TiddlyWiki is Safari compatible as long as you install the Safari plugin at:

You can find simple instructions on installing the Safari plugin at:

It has gotten a good response on Google Groups forums. I would be interested in hearing comments from here too.

The MainMenu

It sounds like a few people had a question on how to add contexts to the MainMenu on the left. All you do is create a New Context using the "New..." dropdown on the left side. Select "New Context". That will create a tiddler tagged with "context."

Just be sure to start your context name with an @.

After you SAVE that new tiddler and RELOAD (the MainMenu requires a reload, this is special) then it the MainMenu will be updated.

NOTE -- Now that D3 is available:

There may not be a need for kGTDTWP.

In fact, I hope that someone will soon combine the D3 plugins with kGTDTW to make something that does everything that kGTDTWP does but faster and better.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
