  I've found examples of other TW files online that also use the

 I should clarify that the plugin here just shows the information back
 to the viewer, for their own purposes, rather than aggregating views
 and providing server analytics.

 It could be extended to do that. I could imagine a write-only (unless
 you have admin permissions) tiddlyweb views bag that would contain a
 tiddler for each time the user viewed something. It would grow big
 quickly and therefore require something like the SQL store in most
 cases. And it would need an analytics viewing tool too.

[tw] Re: Tracking time spent viewing tiddlers

[Alex Hough]

Hi,

This is an interesting thread. Here are some obserations on my own TW use
and some thoughts.

Task Timer
I like TaskTimer and have played about with it. What happened was that i
forgot to switch it off; the excitement of the next task was such that my
self monitoring intentions went out the window.

Editing time = problem solving time.
I think that recording the time tiddlers are being edited would be
interesting. It is not a tiddler's position in the story that directly
correlates to the attention i personally give each chunk of information.
Rather it is the editing of it. If the time spent editing a tiddler could be
recorded in the tiddler, along with 'created', 'modified' etc then the
tiddlers could be listed by this variable.

Cowpaths and time spent editing
I've manually generated lists of well trodden trails and put them in the
sidebar next to timeline. (I called it 'cowpath' after the 'pave the
cowpath' pattern [1].)  I found that I wanted my cowpath to change as I
progressed. For example, at the start I'd be always opening PageTemplate,
ViewTemplate and StyleSheet, but as I progressed into the content of the TW
i would no longer need these. A list tiddlers listed by 5 most pondered
could be a good addition to the navigation system.

Taxonomic Patterns in the mind as viewed as tiddler metadata
Once set up, once all the TW mechanism stuff has been tweeked, It could be
interesting to compare relationships between tags and time spent being
edited. One might be able to see patterns. For example It might be possible
to map out where in a hierachy of ideas your attention was being spent. it
is easy to get distracted along a path you find most enjoyable, but if your
attention patterns were able to be viewed it might help with creativity. I'm
thinking of a particualr creativity technique here - morphological analysis.



Ones perceptions of time spent thinking on certain topics are subjective. If
you goal was to follow the path you thought most enjoyable and you though
that you had spent less time on it than you really had -the illusion that
the boring things make time drag skewing your perception - you would be
subconsciously diverting from your consciously chosen path. Then when
assessing your performance against your self set subconscious goals, you
might create a delusion of in-efficiency for your self.

Plan - Do - Review
I am not sure if this is a formal learning model. I was introduced to it as
one use of the internal triange of a
Gurdjieffhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Gurdjieffenneagram [2] as
a 'chicken bones' method of systems analysis in production
engineering. I've often though how to craft an eneagram structure on a TW.
They are both non-linear navigation systems

Do - editing open tiddler
Review is viewing tiddler on top. I always drag a tiddler to the top
Plan - 

TW and the mind
Using a TW is about sorting and working with ideas. My personal interest is
in making a personal tool if not by osmosis, a structure which i build
between the tool and the mind, both impacting on each other - a structural
coupling if you like.

phew, time for a brew

  I like the idea; it could be used to track your work - how much you spend
 on
  a particular idea.

 http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#TaskTimerPlugin

 is specificially suited to tracking 'how much time' you spend on a
 task.  It provides a pushbutton that, when clicked, starts a timer.
 When you click it again, the timer stops, and you are prompted to
 enter the title of a tiddler (default='ActivityLog') and a task
 description (default=blank).

 The plugin then writes a row of a TW table into that 'log' tiddler,
 with the description, starttime, endtime and elapsed time.  Each time
 you start/stop a task timer button, it adds another row to the table,
 creating a cumulative record of activities.

 You can, of course, track different tasks in different 'log' tiddlers.
 Thus, you could have project-specific or task-specific logs (e.g.,
 Project1Log, Project2Log, etc.).  You can also create multiple task
 timer buttons, each targeted at a different 'log', so that rather than
 asking for a target tiddler title, each button always writes to a
 specific target, so you could have one button for Project1 and a
 different button for Project2.

I can't speak to the ISO week numbers issue.  But you also commented
on not being able to find the TW version number; I can help there.
Create a tiddler with version as the content.  When displayed, it
will show the TW version.  I use the text TiddlyWiki
version (without quotes) and titled TiddlyWikiVersion in all my
TW files.

[tw] Re: Howto - get Tiddlers tagged with a custom field value

[Alex Hough]

Thanks you Eric,

Excellence as usual.


 I think you meant to say when there are two space-separated values in
 the single custom field.


Yes, that is more accurate. I should have said 'two or more space-separated
values [...]

Are fields different from tags in that each individual space-separated value
have to be surrounded by [[double brackets]]? My experiments lead me to
believe this, but it might be the way that I have presented my problem in
the first place.


 for (var i=0; itids.length; i++) {

   var val=store.getValue(tids[i],field1);
var filter=[tag[+val.readBracketedList().join(]][tag[)+]];
var list=store.filterTiddlers(filter).map(function(t){return
 [[+t.title+]]});
out.push('|'+tids[i].title+'|'+val+'|'+list.join( )+'|');
 }

 I've been working though the code. [1] Here is how i understand it.

This is a string variable prepared to the format which
store.filterTiddlers() can handle. -
[tag[val1]][tag[val2]][tag[val3]][tag[val4]]

It can be seen that [tag[+val.readBracketedList() means take val, the
array of values in field1, and read them as a bracketed list.

But what about .join(]][tag[) ?
This is added to the string so that [tag[]] is added to the end of each
item, each time the for loop loops over the tiddlers.

What I don't understand is why [tag[]]
 is needed. Why not just [tag[+val.readBracketedList()]]

I've tied to work back from the solution to learn how things work. [1]

Well, if your host environment has Java, it already is portable; try

By the way, I'm not keen on the name Tiddle - this project seems like 
it deserved a more distinctive name (like, err, TiddlyDexer?).

[Martin Budden]

This is the root of the problem: ISO 8601 defines the start of the

day, week numbers won't be correct.

I wrote the week number code (years ago) and tested it quite

is set correctly. If you find any errors when the start of week is
Monday, please let me know.

[tw] Re: UserName setting suddenly reverted to default YourName (solved)

Now I'm back to normal.  I went to the admin tiddler of one our 2.2.5
based TW's, opened the options slider and entered my user name.  Now
my user name is loading up properly in all the TW files I access.
Apparently entering my user name in the popup box generated by the
SetUserNamePlugin doesn't make the setting stick the same as when it's
entered directly using the default method.

 when I would open a TW file, my UserName would be correct.  Suddenly
 all of my TW files appear to have lost the ability to pick up my

 fix it.

 My question is why in the world would my UserName setting have been
 working fine for all this time and now suddenly today it has stopped?
 We have multiple users accessing the TW files, so I can't bake my
 UserName in the TW files, but until just a few minutes ago, it wasn't
 a problem.  I did access the CookieJar tiddler on one TW file, but I
 didn't edit that file, nor change the cookie settings for it.
 However, it seems that ever since I accidentally accessed that

 Is there anyway I can restore the functionality I enjoyed until

 huge pain.

[tw] Re: Tracking time spent viewing tiddlers

[dickon]

Most fascinating!

My colleague Peter Fuggle and I have been reflecting recently on the
parallels between the neurodevelopmental phases that lead to a mature,
adapted brain, and the growth patterns of the TW treatment/case
management manual that I have supplied links for.

The human brain starts with an explosion or efflorescence of branching
and linking (though synapses) of brain cells to each other.  Then,
from mid childhood and rapidly accelerating through adolescence
(probably the defining feature of adolescent brain development), the
whole developmental process goes into reverse, with synapses being
shed - so that the brain is literally 'moulting'.  However the links
that moult and are lost, are those that simply are not carrying
traffic.  Those links that ARE carrying traffic may even recruit extra
links - thus the brain's plasticity adapts its machinery to the
functions it is being called upon to perform.

The development of our manual has been (and continues to be) somewhat
similar - multiple iterations slowly evolve more efficient pathways
and links/tags/plugins/macros can be shed when they are found to be
superfluous.  A tool to measure which are the key pathways, and the
under-used by-ways, would be a powerful tool in the collaborative
authoring of practically-oriented wiki-based information sets.

 Hi,

 This is an interesting thread. Here are some obserations on my own TW use
 and some thoughts.

 Task Timer
 I like TaskTimer and have played about with it. What happened was that i
 forgot to switch it off; the excitement of the next task was such that my
 self monitoring intentions went out the window.

 Editing time = problem solving time.
 I think that recording the time tiddlers are being edited would be
 interesting. It is not a tiddler's position in the story that directly
 correlates to the attention i personally give each chunk of information.
 Rather it is the editing of it. If the time spent editing a tiddler could be
 recorded in the tiddler, along with 'created', 'modified' etc then the
 tiddlers could be listed by this variable.

 Cowpaths and time spent editing
 I've manually generated lists of well trodden trails and put them in the
 sidebar next to timeline. (I called it 'cowpath' after the 'pave the
 cowpath' pattern [1].)  I found that I wanted my cowpath to change as I
 progressed. For example, at the start I'd be always opening PageTemplate,
 ViewTemplate and StyleSheet, but as I progressed into the content of the TW
 i would no longer need these. A list tiddlers listed by 5 most pondered
 could be a good addition to the navigation system.

 Taxonomic Patterns in the mind as viewed as tiddler metadata
 Once set up, once all the TW mechanism stuff has been tweeked, It could be
 interesting to compare relationships between tags and time spent being
 edited. One might be able to see patterns. For example It might be possible
 to map out where in a hierachy of ideas your attention was being spent. it
 is easy to get distracted along a path you find most enjoyable, but if your
 attention patterns were able to be viewed it might help with creativity. I'm
 thinking of a particualr creativity technique here - morphological analysis.

 Ones perceptions of time spent thinking on certain topics are subjective. If
 you goal was to follow the path you thought most enjoyable and you though
 that you had spent less time on it than you really had -the illusion that
 the boring things make time drag skewing your perception - you would be
 subconsciously diverting from your consciously chosen path. Then when
 assessing your performance against your self set subconscious goals, you
 might create a delusion of in-efficiency for your self.

 Plan - Do - Review
 I am not sure if this is a formal learning model. I was introduced to it as
 one use of the internal triange of a
 Gurdjieffhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Gurdjieffenneagram [2] as
 a 'chicken bones' method of systems analysis in production
 engineering. I've often though how to craft an eneagram structure on a TW.
 They are both non-linear navigation systems

 Do - editing open tiddler
 Review is viewing tiddler on top. I always drag a tiddler to the top
 Plan - 

 TW and the mind
 Using a TW is about sorting and working with ideas. My personal interest is
 in making a personal tool if not by osmosis, a structure which i build
 between the tool and the mind, both impacting on each other - a structural
 coupling if you like.

 phew, time for a brew

[tw] changing tiddlyspot account but not tiddlywiki

[jerimiah]

Hello:

I have converted to MPTW and setup a tiddlyspot account.  After
entering a fairly large amount of content into my MPTW, I decided that
the tiddlyspot account name was too unprofessional for my intended (or
potential) audiences.  I deleted the account and created a new one.

My question is:

How do I link my existing MPTW with my new account.  Uploads of course
nolonger work, but it is not clear to me where that info belongs .


Thanks!

[tw] Re: Tiddle: beta release. A desktop application providing an indexed view into your TiddlyWiki

[ben]

Yes it could indeed be used from a USB key.  There are a number of
different configurations you could go for.
*TiddlyWiki files on USB key, Tiddle installed on PC, Java Installed
on PC.
*TiddlyWiki files and Tiddle installed on USB key, Java Installed on
PC.
*Everything installed on USB key.

I'd probably go for the first or second option.  If you need some help
setting it up let me know.

  Hey guys,
  Have released a new version of Tiddle.

  * Now supports multiple TiddlyWiki's.  You can now point Tiddle at
  either multiple TiddlyWiki files, and/or directories which contain
  multiple TiddlyWiki files.
  * Now supports customizable hotkey configurations to show Tiddle.
  * Some improvements to the wiki-to-html parsing.

  For those of you unfamiliar with Tiddle, Tiddle is a PC application
  which indexes your TiddlyWiki(s), and provides a quick way of
  searching through Tiddlers. Kind of like a Quicksilver for
  TiddlyWiki.

  Tiddle can be found at:http://tiddle.sourceforge.net/

My bad.. amazing the difference a letter makes... put an equals sign
between LinkLabelMacro and {handler
like so:
config.macros.linkLabelMacro= {handler: function

wikify([[+tiddler.title+]],place)
}};

  Hi Mans,
  There is a parameter labelMacro that I've built so you can extend the
  graph in anyway you choose.

  For instance you could set up a tiddler tagged with systemConfig as
  so:
  config.macros.linkLabelMacro {handler: function
  (place,macroName,paramlist,wikifier,paramString,tiddler){
  wikify([[+tiddler.title+]],place)}};

  and then use:
  VGraph labelMacro:linkLabelMacro
  and all labels in the graph would be rendered as links using that
  macro just created.

  You should be able to zoom using your mousewheel.. (possibly not if
  you use Internet Explorer however as this has proved quite buggy)
  The three tiddlers you have mentioned should be all you need to setup
  your own instance.

   Hi Jon

   This is yet a very beautiful thing you've made !!!
   I can't wait to implement it somehow - in my existing TWs.

   Links:
   I was wondering - How do you use links from the graph nodes?
   Do I really have to doubleclick (thereby opening the graphcontaining
   tiddler in editmode) to go to a tiddler with a title of a node... Is
   there another way?

   Zooming:
   Also I need some intuitive way of centering the display of the zoom on
   a specific node - not to loose the sight of the graph ---
   Do you know Gimp? It has a terrific zoom practice - but it needs the
   keyboard. You simply let the mouse stay on a spot in an image and you
   zoom with + and - keeping what's under the mouse in the center. It's
   very intuitive - unfortunately we don't have two mouses when
   navigating in a TW - so choosing a center with a click on a node
   followed by a click on + or - might be the solution for a controlled
   zoom?

   Importing:
   I still haven't put the plugin into one of my TW's yet - which
   tiddlers should I import? Only these three: VGraphPlugin,
   VismoGraphAlgorithms and VismoLibraryPlugin?

[tw] A calendar query

[iain]

I am using Morris Gray's modification of No Brainer notes (c2008) and
although the Journal date format is dd/mm/yy when I use some code Eric
kindly provided to show the date last edited iit is in the Godless
American format of mm/dd/yy.

I am assuming that TW being British would have the correct format and
Dave Gifford being American may have changed it to their format.

How do I change this if indeed I can?
