If one were to use TiddlyWiki as a personal database for notes and code snippets, how would you go about keeping it in sync between multiple machines. Would a svn/cvs etc work. How would you handle merges?
Tiddlywiki is an ancient open-source wiki application in the form of an html file. It has all the tools you need to make a wiki in the form of “tiddlers”, self-contained chunks of info that you can tag and link to each other. When you save the wiki, the program and your text all get wrapped up together into the same .
It's very flexible. You can use TiddlyWiki to take notes, manage task lists, save bookmarks, publish a blog or website, create a presentation, and a lot more. And people have used it to do some interesting things.
TiddlyWiki is free and is compatible with all platforms. Any web browser will open it.
One option is the up-and-comer DropBox. A free filesharing service that gives you 2GB free, and no limit to the number of computers you share on.
Define a shared folder, put your tiddlywiki files in there, and then point the local editing to the shared drive. Any changes are automatically reflected.
Note: I have no connections to DropBox other than the fact that I've been reading lots about it, and am trialing it for my personal use.
Use TiddlySpot, its online all the time and private
