What do you do for organizing your notes? Do you use Notepad? Or OneNote? Or even the physical sticky notes !? What ever mehod you follow, it is always tough to effectively manage the bits and pieces of information. If you google for a tool to manage your notes, you will be flooded with the n-number of tools out there in the web. If you are smart enough, you can even build your own tool for notes organization (I tried to build one, which is still in the development stage).
Recently I came to know about an interesting tool to manage/organize the notes. The best part is that the tool is just a single HTML page.
TiddlyWiki – Single HTML page for organizing notes
As taken from TiddlyWiki’s home page:
TiddlyWiki is a single html file which has all the characteristics of a wiki – including all of the content, the functionality (including editing, saving, tagging and searching) and the style sheet. Because it’s a single file, it’s very portable – you can email it, put it on a web server or share it via a USB stick.
Yup. TiddlyWiki is a single HTML file with all the Wiki-like features in-built. You can open a TiddlyWiki HTML file in any web browsers and you can work on it.
A TiddlyWiki page is made up of tiddlers which is nothing but the note that you want to save. You can add as many tiddlers as you want, edit existing tiddlers or delete them. TiddlyWiki provides an save option too for saving your modifications.
Since TiddlyWiki is free and Open source (the single HTML file has all the CSS/JavaScript), by using TiddlyWiki, you get to learn some good JavaScript coding and you get a free one page Wiki too! Download and experience TiddlyWiki and let me know what do you think about TiddlyWiki!

I personally use Emacs org-mode for note taking.
Try “Wiki On a stick” http://stickwiki.sourceforge.net/ This is also single page wiki and I liked it than TiddlyWiki
thanks for the link, Aravinda.
I’ve heard a lot about EMac from you and RB in internal blogs. But never tried it though (I’m mostly using Windows).
I use the personal wiki More wiki in a jar:
http://morewikiinajar.sourceforge.net/
It’s a Java based wiki. The articles are stored in plain text files.
Thanks for the information Daniel.
Will check it out ‘More wiki in a jar’ also.
btw, the Wiki name is interesting.
Hi.
A nice tool I use regularly is Zim-Wiki. It is build in perl and will be rewritten in Python. Pages are stored as plain text and has several plugins. For example it contains a plugin for version control support, which is very usefull.
Thanks for the link Dirk. WIll try the Zim-Wiki also.
