I’ve recreated my earlier video guide on using a TiddlyWiki, a single-page wiki you can use for your notes and task lists. Instead of Wink, I used CamStudio to capture screen activities this time. Wink is an easy to use free software to capture videos of your screen activities and it’s great for creating tutorials.… Continue reading New screencast on using a TiddlyWiki

Using a TiddlyWiki: a video guide
I am a long-time user of TiddlyWikis and its various adaptations. Before a catastrophic accident involving the synchronization of various offline files wiped out my tasks list, I was an extensive user of GTDTiddlyWiki. After the accident, I moved to a server-side TiddlyWiki, alternating between Serversidewiki.com and ZiddlyWiki before finally settling with TiddlySpot. I am… Continue reading Using a TiddlyWiki: a video guide
Work on blog post ideas with Wridea
I seldom finish a blog post in one session in front of the computer. My typical blogging day starts with reading news feeds to check on updates on topics that interest me. Sometimes I get a blog post idea while reading RSS feed items and I’d write a note in my personal wiki about the… Continue reading Work on blog post ideas with Wridea
Wiki on a K750i? A txt file will do
I’m a huge fan of TiddlyWiki, a standalone web page that you can edit through a browser for just about anything: to-do lists, notes or any other text data. I’m an extensive user of one of its derivatives: the Zope server-based ZiddlyWiki but before that, I used GTDTiddlyWiki, a version that incorporates a getting things… Continue reading Wiki on a K750i?

Objectis.net free Zope hosting getting to be reliable again
The previous free Zope host of my ZiddlyWiki seems to have fixed its services. I use ZiddlyWiki extensively for note-taking when I’m on a PC. I checked my free account there last week and found that it was still up. I monitored its services for a few days and did not experience any downtime. With… Continue reading Objectis.net free Zope hosting getting to be reliable again
A Bisaya FAQ for Knoppix
There’s a Bisaya FAQ for Knoppix. The link was posted in the ce-gnu-lug mailing list. The document still needs work and I hope more people would help maintain it.
Transferring my notes wiki
I finally transferred my ZiddlyWiki from Objectis.net to a FreeZope.org hosting. The services of Objectis.net have been erratic lately and ZiddlyWiki creator Tim Morgan told users to transfer to FreeZope. The new installation process – created because FreeZope doesn’t allow quick imports – is even easier. I use ZiddlyWiki extensively for my notes, usually taken… Continue reading Transferring my notes wiki
Putting out a personal status page
I found this interesting post in 43 Folders on the need for a personal status page via a link from Sacha Chua. I think a personal status page would be a great way to inform people you are dealing with on the progress on common projects or tasks assigned to you. I always tell people… Continue reading Putting out a personal status page
Blogging story
I finished my story on blogging and journalism last Sunday and ran smack into the limits of print. The draft would have taken three 11 by 17-sized pages to print. The newsroom, I think, expected only a one-page story. I tried to cut it down into an acceptable length starting late Sunday evening and I… Continue reading Blogging story
Journalism experiment and recovering from a ZiddlyWiki disaster
I was asked to write a special report on a topic I can’t disclose yet. I’ve already sent preliminary e-mails to people I would be interviewing. I had planned to do all my note-taking using ZiddlyWiki. While finalizing my notes it occurred to me: why not give the people I would be interviewing read-only access… Continue reading Journalism experiment and recovering from a ZiddlyWiki disaster
