[tw5] Re: Useful Lessons from the "Competition"

[PJO]

I have some similar things but it occurs to me, as someone who doesn't have 
time to keep up with tiddlywiki developments, that what I'd like to see 
would be something like tiddlywiki explained using tiddlywiki -- perhaps 
with some YouTube videos embedded or linked. Or even just a HOW TO with 
respect to the new features with each release. Since tiddlywikis are single 
files a newsletter on changes and HOW TOs with a tiddlywiki attachment is 
something I'd subscribe to.

The interactive game reminds me:

Once (long before the web!)... I learned how to use a slide rule using a 
book -- that I'm sure there's a term for but it escapes me -- which set 
problems and offered answers and page numbers. If you got it wrong it 
explained what you likely did and sent you back. It was very useful 
(without it I'd have flunked physics in university; it was the last year 
that calculators were banned). I'm sure nobody has the time to do that for 
TW, and that it's to some extent structurally impossible given that it's 
not a frozen thing like a slide rule, but ... I wonder

At times TW feels like a train going past on which people are inventing new 
lego. If you go away for a while and come back you can recognise some names 
but the language has changed, web sites that you were familiar with are 
gone or changed or contain code that no longer works. It can be a bit 
bewildering even for a long time TW user who only drops in here 
occasionally.  There isn't a definitive, structured, way to apprehend TW. 
It's somewhat ironic as a wiki would be a great way to organise the 
information.

I assumed there were two reasons for this. First, everyone was too busy 
inventing new lego and, second, possibly wrongly, I had the feeling that a 
"tiddlywikihwotopedia" could only be countenanced using TW, and that just 
would be too hard given its single user orientation. 

I have no doubt at all that I've missed a lot of good information that has 
been shared here and which I could have used or learned from but I can't 
spend the time, and if and when I have searched I get so much that is out 
of context, out of date, irrelevant, or requiring background knowledge I 
don't have, I find myself thinking "if only there was a wiki" (of all the 
things!).

And it means I have even missed things UNDER MY NOSE. The canonical 
example: my wife has used a "Tiddlyfolio" tiddlywiki for many years to 
store some confidential information in encrypted form. When she began 
having hassles with Firefox and saving I looked at updating it to TW5 but 
a) just couldn't find the code to do the encryption and b) completely 
overlooked the fact that the capability was now built in! 

And this was despite my using TW5 for quite a long time. I didn't even find 
it immediately. First, after some research, I tried out Joplin, which is 
pretty nice, and which I have since switched to instead of Evernote. 
However, if you get access to the device e.g., if it's left open and 
unattended for a few minutes, there's no requirement for a secondary 
password (as there is in the case of authy e.g.). That's just not good 
enough for the kind of data she she deals with and is legally required to 
protect (counselling practice, not Swiss bank account details).

I greatly appreciate the efforts of Dave Gifford and others who provide 
some structure that "passengers" (non engineers) can use for orientation. 
Not because I rely on them, but because I know I might do someday, and of 
course in the meantime I can make some useful chance discoveries.

There's some irony in the word passengers, because what I suspect many TW 
users have in common is an active desire to control their own information 
and a preference for open source software.

An ability to make some structured discoveries, preferably one that people 
could collaborate on developing, would be terrific. A YouTube channel (or 
equivalent) would be good. Something else that would declutter things for 
many: splitting this group in two, one for developers and one for users. 
That works well for another open source tool I use.

By chance I stumbled on the /selfhosted subreddit recently, having known 
nothing of it previously. This seems to be the broader context in which TW 
fits. Software that you manage yourself instead of surrendering your data, 
privacy and freedom of choice. I found myself wondering briefly why I have 
yet to get any documentation for that kind of software in the form of a TW, 
even a template say, for filling in key things one will need to refer to 
later. Being able to record, synchronise and, where needed, encrypt key 
procedural, configuration and other information is really very valuable. I 
maintain a TW for my network and one for each computer on it. I've never 
got around to one for the house but have long thought that every home could 
use one.

[tw5] Re: Deciding between using a single file/Timimi or Node

[PJO]

A late reply on this: 

I have wondered if the efforts to make browsers more secure would make 
Tiddlywiki more trouble than it's worth. I've tried a few different things 
(saving solutions) and not been entirely convinced. Tiddlyserver worked ok 
and I didn't have problems with it getting killed (on Linux Mint; it 
survives the suspend process perfectly) but it wasn't something I'd have 
recommended to the rest of my family over, say, Joplin (my alternative to 
and refuge from Evernote, which I need to cancel my subscription to). 

Timimi changes all that. It's fantastic. And such a relief to get back to 
not having to think about the mechanics of saving and backing up, and for 
things to just work. It's not quite "no dependencies," but as close as one 
can get I think. 

One of my wikis is something I update and publish in advance of an annual 
meeting. It's hosted on webDAV storage provided by my email provider 
(Fastmail) and historically I've used Ton Gerner's readonly plugin to 
remove the editing controls. Inevitably, there were updates after I'd 
published and it was always a (little) bit of rigmarole to repeat that 
readonly publishing. I'm wondering if your production process would make 
that easier. I haven't worked with .tld files and used Scootersoftware's 
Beyond Compare now and then if I needed to compare wiki file contents.

[tw5] Re: Announcement a new plugin: Shiraz (a starter kit for Tiddlywiki)

[PJO]

Thank you! This is great. Especially for occasional dabblers in TiddlyWiki 
who don't have time to keep up with the traffic here or actual code. TW has 
been an amazing box of software Lego for a long time but it has badly 
needed something like this. I hope it can be extended further and 
maintained.

I had an experience a while ago that just might have happened to others. I 
went looking for a plugin for TW5 of something I'd used with TW Classic. I 
couldn't find it (never mind whether it would work still). Along the way I 
found that the half-life on the Internet of a lot of TiddlyWiki things I 
had bookmarked was much shorter than I might have guessed. I realise there 
was a big discontinuity between the Classic and TW5 but the impression of 
attrition and constant change under the hood and the lack of a reference 
like this makes engagement more of a challenge for people who just want to *do 
something* with TiddlyWiki. I know TW5 has a lot of capabilities that I've 
yet to discover, and I may also not be the first who has also looked for 
things that turned out to be built-in but which I'd overlooked as result of 
not tracking changes. A reference with instructions and demonstrations 
seems overdue and is certainly welcome. 

During the week I listened to a podcast of an interview by Jim Al-Kalili 
with Eben Upton of Raspberry Pi fame (part of BBC Radio series, "The Life 
Scientific") which may have some possible lessons between the original 
concept and sales to date of 15 million. Just making a product that worked 
was never enough. Getting something in front of a lot of people was key 
(story of the BBC & YouTube video), then building a community and a 
not-for-profit foundation with an educational focus. Getting kits and 
how-to information into the hands of kids was the aim and it succeeded 
brilliantly. Granted, the dynamics are different with a physical product. 
Nevertheless, the what-if that occurs to me: what if the Pi OS (Raspbian) 
came with some tutorial material in TiddlyWiki format and a starter kit 
like this?

A YouTube channel could be a nice complement to this (just realised I've 
never searched for any TiddlyWiki content there).

[tw] Re: TiddlyWiki user engagement

[PJO]

Hi Thomas,

That made me laugh. Indeed, you are right, in any language (English is also 
not my first language but I get by). The Chinese say that a man will have 
to stand for a long time with his mouth open before a roast duck flies in. 
But all these links to things I haven't had time to keep up with do, I 
think, underline my point. 

Of course, I didn't really mean that any one person should sieve the 
*entire* set of posts here and prepare a newsletter for the people who 
don't have time; a Sisphyean task indeed as has been noted. I was really 
just trying to articulate some of what I find frustrating and make some 
suggestions, knowing very well that I have not read what may be better 
ideas (and apologies for that as appropriate). I wasn't fishing for a 
suggestion that I go off and do something myself as seeing if the 
suggestions had any resonance and if so discuss some collaborative 
possibilities with anyone interested.

What I could do, indeed, is review the documentation posts you've linked to 
and see if I can synthesize something and, perhaps, do a survey using, say, 
Google Docs. I may have missed it but I haven't seen anything like that 
done. But from my perspective what I'd like to see is not so much better 
documentation, as in "how to" materials, but better communication, 
especially for casual users. 

Cheers,
Paul

PS I hope you did get the expression "I'll get my coat" was a joke; code 
for "I've said something embarrassing, so I'll leave now".

[tw] Re: TiddlyWiki user engagement

[PJO]

Not a redditer and no time for that, sorry. Overall, your response (and 
thanks btw) just adds to the plethora of TW sites. I guess my feeling is 
that TW is all over the shop and it would be better off bringing as much as 
possible under one roof, except for the code. 

I searched Google Groups on TiddlyWiki and didn't find or overlooked 
Tiddlywikidev; thanks for pointing it out. Now there's that and Reddit and 
StackExchange and this is progress? I'm not convinced yet. And these things 
aren't even on the TiddlyWiki home page, which was explicitly part of the 
point of the comparison with Mint and which doesn't arise from any 
technology differences.

> Mediawiki etc.

I understand the distinctions your trying to make and I appreciate the 
difference. My point was wondering whether TW has perhaps hobbled itself 
from the user engagement POV by not using a wiki (and discussion forum with 
file sharing) with user authentication alongside TW. Perhaps this is 
heretical? 

> a twederation project

As an occasional user here, not monitoring a blog or a newsletter, I don't 
have any idea better than a guess what this about and there's nothing on 
TiddlyWiki.com about it. The first comments I could find in Google Groups 
were from someone saying he couldn't understand it. If I can be blunt this 
is one of the things that's a bit wearying about TiddlyWiki -- fragments of 
information all over the place (many of which, historically, have not 
survived) and no proper structured communication that would provide an 
alternative to stepping into the river here and watching everything that 
goes by. I don't have time, and I don't think TiddlyWiki is going to scale 
as it could if that doesn't change.

Overall, I was suggesting stepping back and looking at other projects not 
just going on adding more different sites. I realize that some throwing mud 
at the wall and seeing what sticks is part and parcel of how FOSS works but 
... 

Maybe it's time for some stocktaking? But if everyone is ok with the 
current situation I'll get my coat.

> map for users

Indeed, a map for users would be creepy if it disclosed anything about them 
without consent. However, it's an opt-in map of weather stations and people 
who run weather stations are often interested to check their records 
against other stations once in a while. The only thing necessarily 
disclosed is "there's a weather station here running WeeWX software".

Raspberry Pi groups and others use maps to let people see where there may 
be birds of a feather. Most discussion forum software has optional profile 
info. So, maybe not *that* creepy, but indeed, maybe not all that relevant. 
I was just mentioning some things I like. The map could be a show case or 
register of sites compiled by users by embedding data in a wiki. The 
intended thrust of my remarks about WeeWX was how nicely everything was 
presented (although also using Google Groups and github!) and findable from 
the home page. 

The last thing I want to do is snark about commendable efforts people are 
making now. Instead: discuss whether there are things worth borrowing in 
terms of approaches to user engagement that might be worth accommodating in 
the context of a fresh start or reorganization rather than accretion.

[tw] TiddlyWiki user engagement

[PJO]

I dip in here now and then, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who does 
so. 

It's hard to keep track without checking in more frequently than I usually 
have time for. To give an example: I thought I saw a pinned message a while 
ago indicating that anyone using TiddlySpot needed to backup their TWs as 
it was closing. Now I see references to it as if that hasn't happened? So, 
do I search on TiddlySpot and go through posts? 

I wouldn't have to do this if there was a TiddlyWiki newsletter, which 
could of course be hosted on a TiddlyWiki, with some summary info of, e.g.


   - Core developments
   - New plugins
   - Issues discussed in the google group
   - New applications with links
   - Other Notes
   

I'm sure I'm not the only person who gets newsletters and reports 
periodically, by email, that get converted into tiddlers (one of my most 
useful applications of TiddlyWiki; saves having to wade through Word files 
later to write up project reports).

*Suggestion:* a TiddlyWiki newsletter hosted in TiddlyWiki would be good. 
Alternatively, a blog with tags corresponding to topics such as I've 
enumerated. Either way, with user surveys as a regular feature (see the 
Distrowatch  weekly e.g.)

If I can make a Linux analogy, TiddlyWiki feels rather like a rolling 
release like Arch. For years now the most successful distributions (Linux 
Mint, Ubuntu and many derivatives) have followed a six-monthly release 
cycle with long term support versions every 2 years. I appreciate that that 
cadence might not suit many who show up here, but it does have advantages 
in terms of having stable releases for documentation and issue tracking. 
Maybe the Linux kernel is a better analogy -- it goes through point 
revisions all the time, and what version is incorporated is in part a 
function of the timing of the release of a new distribution.

In any case, a key benefit of this splitting updates into what in Debian 
terms is "stable" (long term support) and "testing" (latest) releases is 
that people can install which ever suits and then tune in to what they need 
to know with corresponding frequency. Those to whom stability is paramount 
can pick an LTS release and forget about tracking breakages and fixes for a 
good while--apart from anything that needs to be backported (security fixes 
in particular).

My impression is that the TW community is fizzing with creativity but that 
the TiddlyVerse, to coin a word (if it hasn't been coined), is that it's 
not as accessibly organized and structured for new users who are not 
developers and occasional updaters (like me) as it might be. This is an 
observation and not a complaint.

There have been some interesting discussion of TiddlyWiki "journeys" which 
I think reflect some of the same perceptions but I am not sure what actions 
if any have or may result -- I'd have to start reading posts when a 
newsletter or blog would keep me informed more conveniently and perhaps 
flag something I might be able to contribute to without having to stay 
abreast of everything (which I have to say an impressive number of people 
*seem* to do, and new people too, which is great).


*Suggestion*: TiddlyWiki would benefit from some comparison with other open 
source projects and borrowing of good practices regarding user engagement, 
and then making some deliberate choices based on community feedback

Some examples, just picking a few things that come to mind that I actively 
like about some other projects (not at all an exhaustive comparison)

Linux Mint:


   - The Mint community solicits donations and publishes information about 
  the money received. I give money every month because I use it and I get 
  satisfaction from supporting the remorseless improvement of a truly 
  fantastic public good.
  - There's a developer blog: segfault.linuxmint.com ; also useful for 
  people to keep an occasional eye on what's coming
  - The home page at linuxmint.com provides links to all the important 
  resources at a glance and is attractively presented; I hope nobody will 
be 
  offended if I say that TiddlyWiki by comparison has seemed as if trying 
  harder to explain what it is, *using TiddlyWiki*, than in providing 
  an at-a-glance link to ALL the key resources. I apologize if this is 
  unfair, it's a subjective impression. I know it's improved a lot but I 
have 
  wondered if the having to be its own showcase has been a straightjacket.
  - The software itself tells you that updates are available and 
  they're easily installed (true of most distributions of course)
  - Documentation exists in many languages
   
An interesting question perhaps: *What would persuade you to make an annual 
contribution to TiddlyWiki?*

WeeWX:

This is an application that interacts with a weather station and which 
publishes data and graphs to databases and web sites (weewx.com). I use it 
on a raspberry pi to run a

[tw] Re: TiddlyWiki app idea

[PJO]

Apologies, I completely missed your post with the downloadable attachment 
and was responding to a different post. I've now tried it out. First, let 
me say *thanks*! 

I was initially slightly baffled. Instead of 

URL date

You've made

tiddlername comment journalbutton url

and took me a few moments to figure this out (I didn't even immediately 
recognise the add journal entry button, sorry) and also I had to see how to 
add a field (I have not yet done anything like this with TW5; this isn't a 
complaint, just to be clear about how idiotproof instructions need to be!).

Ok, so I created tiddlers and added fields with urls and then clicked on 
the links for the urls. The web page opened, the journal was updated, but 
no timestamp was recorded. Then I tried adding a comment and the timestamp 
was recorded ok. Am I right in thinking that a one step action isn't 
possible? Because, well, I don't need to record comments every time I visit 
a web site! Apart from that it seems very workable and it certainly does 
what I need. Yes, the last table looks great.

Now that I can see it working it crosses my mind that it might be nice to 
have a "days since" column as well as or instead of the date, but I could 
live without it. This would be handy for things one looks at without any 
schedule -- just using intuition -- where the actual date doesn't matter 
that much.

Bravo and thanks again! I'll be happy to try any further iteration. This is 
something I have wanted FOREVER so I'm really very pleased.

Maybe I've misunderstood... are you suggesting this: changing each link to 
a button that includes the date it was last clicked? That would work, sure! 
I haven't had time to futz with this. Will try later today.

[tw] Re: TiddlyWiki app idea

[PJO]

No, I don't want a journal equivalent in TiddlyWiki of the browser history. 
Let me walk you through it by describing doing manually what I'd like to 
automate. Let's say it's Monday, and the 1st day of the month and I wish to 
do some weekly and monthly visits to some web sites. 

First I go to the Weekly Tiddler, and I find for the sake of illustration, 
a few URLs, each with a date after it:

ULR1 date
ULR1 date
etc.

I click on each URL and then go back and edit the date manually. Then 
repeat for the Monthly tiddler. I don't actually do this but if Tiddlywiki 
could set the date automatically I would organize my bookmarks using 
TiddlyWiki.

Re: [tw] Re: TiddlyWiki app idea

[PJO]

Small, addendum, having looked at the github discussion: I don't need to 
*count* visits or keep a history (I'd archive the browser history if I 
did). I just want to know when I last visited a web page.

I keep some of my bookmarks in TiddlyWiki and that works pretty well apart 
from not tracking which sites I visited when -- so I've never scaled this 
up as much as I'd like. 

Why am I doing this? I am trying to bring a little additional order to some 
of my reading. It's a January experiment, that's all. I often find that I 
haven't checked in with some sites for too long (and I do not want to 
consume RSS or anything in the meantime).*

Maybe down the road it would be interesting to combine this 
 (plugin 
for pulling pinboard bookmarks into tiddlers), a Tiddlywiki hosted on 
node.js, and perhaps a browser plugin for updating the Tiddlywiki (that is, 
the date of any site bookmarked if visited without clicking on it in the 
wiki). But for now I'll settle for manual curation and a date that updates 
when an adjacent link is clicked! :-)


*This is something I've wanted to do anyway for a long time but, FWIW, I 
did recently have the experience of finding that I didn't discover known 
bugs in a security system which I might have discovered ahead of what 
turned out to be a false alarm event, and not a burglarly, if I had 
realised how long it was since I lasted visited a particular site.

Re: [tw] Re: TiddlyWiki app idea

I'd be happy enough to trade off right-clicking. To amplify a little 
further, probably unnecessarily, I'd be happy to have tiddlers with the 
following

1. URL date
2. URL date
3. URL date

where the date was updated whenever the corresponding URL was clicked.

[tw] Re: TiddlyWiki app idea

[PJO]

I'm aware of browser history, thanks.

What I was thinking of was an app that allowed me to tag a curated list of 
web sites to facilitate some kind of regular review (weekly, monthly and 
quarterly, say). No bookmarking tool I've ever seen does it. Currently one 
can add bookmarks to folders readily enough but the link doesn't get a 
last-visited date. My browser history tends to get large and then get 
wiped. I mainly use it after a browser crash to find things I hadn't 
finished reading or to find something that has come up in conversation and 
which I didn't think to bookmark earlier.

[tw] TiddlyWiki app idea

[PJO]

Something I've always wanted in a bookmarking app and which I've yet to see 
implemented is a way of tracking when I last visited a site:

http://urlnumber1 date
http://urlnumber2 date
http://urlnumber3 date

where the date is updated whenever the URL is clicked on.

How easy would it be to this with TW5?

[tw] TiddlyWiki, Linux Mint and Node.js

[PJO]

Anybody using this combination?

I tried it last night with latest Mint (18.1), TW5 and node.js, per 
instructions at tiddlywiki.com but it didn't work. It was late and I was 
tired so I just used timeshift to revert my system to the status quo ante 
(I'd also just spent some time trying to get a Synology community app 
working and failed  -- then read that things were broken by the last OS 
upgrade -- so was in plug-pulling mood). Sometimes you want things to just 
work out of the box; TW always has so far I can remember.

Need I say that: Linux Mint  is the nr 1 
distribution at www.distrowatch.com, which is as good an indicator as we 
have to overall popularity.

[PJO]

Very nice indeed. Thanks for this.

I'm still using Pinboard and Diigo and Google Keep and ... I've never 
really had something that works the way I'd like, which is to sync my own 
data on all my own devices. What I'd really like in addition is to be able 
to group bookmarks by tag and to be able to sort them by a visible last 
accessed date, so that I could more easily maintain some kind of 
semi-routine schedule for visiting sites that I like but don't want or need 
to visit regularly.

I don't have the time or knowhow to extend Plinks to do that but I'll just 
throw the idea out there... just in case.

This is brilliant. Thanks! -- and something I've always wanted.

Something else I've always wanted, and which I've never seen an off the 
shelf solution for (just in case anyone has one):

Something that would go through my DNS history, make a list of domain names 
and dates, and allow me to review them periodically and to tag some for a 
revisit at a future date or regular visits every x 
days/weeks/months/years). I've lost count of the number of times I've 
thought I should have bookmarked something or was asked about something I'd 
read about and ended up using Google to try to refind (I don't run my own 
DNS but would do if I had something that did more than just make lookups 
faster and a little more private).

A way of integrating these solutions would be nice

Bookmarked on: date/blank
Last visited: date

[tw] Re: Usable (pre-beta) version of Cardo - a new TW5 for Getting Things Done

[PJO]

I took a quick look which was all I had time for. I tried many different 
tools before settling on a combination of MLO (MyLifeOrganized.net) and a 
very simple TiddlyWiki of my own. If you haven't seen it I think MLO is 
worth a look because it seems to me to be the most flexible and most 
attractive GTD tool and it would be my point of reference for a comparison. 
I run it on Windows and Linux (using WINE) and on my Android phone.

What MLO isn't is free and open source and completely platform independent 
(runs on IOS but not OSX). A use case that is an unmet need for me at the 
moment is a simple free tool for facilitating the work of the management 
committee of a building, and I know of dozens of residents' 
associations/management companies who share the need and who are currently 
making do with various combinations of shoeboxes, paper, spreadsheets, word 
documents, email (in particular), box/dropbox, google calendar. I'm sure 
there must be many similar use cases -- clubs with little or no money and 
the like, whose members do not all use the same operating systems. 

At a glance, the interface seemed a bit like a cockpit with a lot of 
information and options that might be daunting to someone not already 
familiar with it or with GTD ideas (I recently saw and liked, I think it 
was in NoteSelf, a Simple/Advanced button to hide some details). I will 
keep an eye on it and if I can find time to provide more specific 
suggestions on, perhaps, simplifications (e.g., for the case described 
there's really only one area: the building).

Other quick comments: I'd avoid the word tiddler and use card (e.g,. blank 
card). My committee isn't familiar with TiddlyWiki, nor all native speakers 
of English. A focus on "we" in place of "I" would better reflect a shared 
agenda. Realms aren't needed at all.

[tw] Re: Who is up for a challenge: Family Management Information System

[PJO]

This is an interesting idea. I use TiddlyWiki for personal things (I 
created TiddlyFolio some years ago for data I wanted to keep locally and 
didn't want to upload to Lastpass or anywhere else online) but do need to 
share certain information with my wife about the house, our wills, tax 
returns, warranties etc. I've played aroud with DokuWiki running on a 
Synology NAS so far but not really put much in the way of a structure 
together, so I still have information 

   - on paper
   - in a scanned documents folder on the network
   - in Lastpass
   - in Evernote 
   - in separate TiddlyWikis
   - in files, emails and email archives indexed with X1(.com)
   - in notes on my phone
   - in contact records on Bakail (running on my NAS)
   - in calendars (Google, Fastmail) 
   
etc.

That's in addition to photos, music, software etc. on the NAS

My wife is concerned that she wouldn't be able to find or access everything 
if I dropped dead and I've said don't worry I'm working on it. Meanwhile, 
we do at least have have good automated backup operations in place. 

A family wiki is definitely something I think would be good to be able to 
manage using an information sharing tool, like a federated version of 
Tiddlywiki capable of syncing tiddlers, say between wikis of the same name, 
the way Dropbox can sync files in folders. I do not wish to share any such 
information with any commercial provider, so something like OwnCloud or 
NextCloud running on an Internet-connected Raspberry Pi front ending 
network storage at home would suit. 

One of the things on my TO DO list is sort out our books. I use a nice app 
called BookDroid on my phone to keep a record of books I want to buy or 
borrow. It can scan a barcode and then retrieve full details from the web. 
I have used it in other people's houses to quickly lift details of things I 
want to read and would love to be able to transfer the data to TiddlyWiki 
and add some tags. Our books are more sorted by shelf size than anything 
else so, partly as a result of moving every so often and partly for lack of 
time they aren't sorted by topic, never mind cataloged. But a tool to make 
it trivial is almost there, surely.

This is just a FOR EXAMPLE idea of something I'd be happy to see in a 
system of the kind you mention. I imagine others would be happy to have 
records of car maintenance, mileage and expenses and ... one could go on.

Re: [tw] Re: Embedded PDF problem

[PJO]

Yes, the files display ok in unembedded form in both Chrome and Internet 
Explorer. Indeed, I'm using Windows (7). This is disappointing as it used 
to work nicely :-(

Will it be any different do you think if I link to a local copy of the PDF 
rather than embed as an attachment? (i.e., display within the tiddler).

 Hi PJO

 PDF viewing is still a bit hit and miss on modern browsers. Do the 
 original, unembedded PDF files display OK in Chrome and IE? I guess you're 
 on Windows. If I understand correctly, Chrome uses its own PDF viewing 
 engine, but you can disable it as instructed here:

[tw] Embedded PDF problem

[PJO]

One of my uses of TiddlyWiki for some years has been to publish the agenda 
of an annual general meeting and a few related items in a small wiki.

Last year I switched to TW5 and embedded a couple of one page PDF files 
without any problem. They displayed nicely.

This year I updated the contents of the wiki and republished it. Today I 
got word that some pages were blank. They were certainly ok when I 
published them with Chrome a few weeks ago. Now, I find that they are ok 
with Firefox but not with either Chrome or with Internet Explorer (all 
latest versions). I just tried the latest TW5 (5.1.8) with the same 
results. 

Suggestions welcome.

[tw] Re: TW5 - Make it read only permanently

[PJO]

Ton, anyone,

I have tried to follow the directions at http://tw5readonly.tiddlyspot.comto 
make a TW5 wiki readonly without success. Can you tell me what I have 
done wrong? (I have tried with 5.08 and 5.10).

I've taken the wiki I wish to make readonly and done the following

Added, via drag and drop, 

1. The Readonly theme ; saved and reloaded, then
2. The following tiddlers

$:/_images/left-arrow-button 
$:/_images/right-arrow-button 
$:/_images/save-button 
$:/_stylesheet/topmenu 
$:/_topmenu 
$:/_top-save-button 
$:/_top-toggle-width-sidebar-button 

I have edited the topmenu tiddler to contain

div class=tw-page-controls tw-topmenu
{{$:/_top-save-button}}{{$:/_top-toggle-width-sidebar-button}}
/div

The top menu appears as I expect with Save (left) and right arrow icons at 
the left and right respectively. When the Readonly theme is selected the 
Save icon disappears and it is impossible to save the wiki. It hasn't just 
become invisible, it's not selectable (in any case, for what it's worth I'd 
like to selectable even with the right hand menu visible).

Is there something else I should have added or done?

Thanks
PJO

 Hi NODEGAMRA,

 Making TW5 readonly can be done with the Readonly theme available at [1]
 Drag the Readonly theme (Sidebar, tab Tools) to your TW, save and reload.
 Now you can select the Readonly theme and you see most buttons have 
 vanished.

 Unfortunately to persist in this state you have to save it and that is not 
 possible anymore!

 So there must be a - hidden - save possibility.
 One way to go is based on my guide for toolbar buttons [2]. It also hides 
 the sidebar.

 The top menu of this demo [3] contains a 'Save' (left) and a 'Toggle 
 sidebar with fluid width' (right) button.

 At the moment they are white and black when hovering over the buttons.

 If the Readonly theme is chosen, the 'Save button' disappears. Therefore a 
 'Top save' button has been defined that will NOT disappear.

 When the 'Toggle sidebar with fluid width' button is clicked, the Sidebar 
 is hidden and the tiddler width is 100% of the browser screen width.
 The colors of the buttons have changed to the background color, also while 
 hovering over the buttons.

 So, you know the buttons are there (and can be used) but are hidden.

 Before you publish your FAQ:

 # Choose the Readonly theme.
 # Set all tabs the way you want it, e.g. switch to the 'Open' tab in the 
 Sidebar.
 # Click the 'Toggle sidebar with fluid width' button to hide the Sidebar 
 and maximize the tiddler width.
 # Click the - hidden - 'Save' button in the top menu.

 And there you are.

 Cheers,

 I don't know (yet) if it works with v5.0.10-beta; I am busy upgrading my

 It will take some time since there are a lot of changes in v5.0.10-beta to 
 cope with.

 2) ONLY just for v5.0.8-beta:
 As far as I can see what you describe is correct.
 Upon switching the ReadOnly theme, BOTH buttons in the top menu (Save left

 You can download my demo at [1] and check if that works as described.

[tw] TiddlyFolio updated

[PJO]

TiddlyFolio, an electronic wiki wallet, has been updated to v1.1. It's 
available here: tiddlyfolio.tiddlyspot.com

It now requires the browser plugin TiddlyFox. The TiddlyWiki core has been 
updated to 2.7.0 and a few 3rd party plugins have had very minor revisions. 
Some new content and links have been included; the functionality remains 
unchanged.

I was unable to update the tiddlyspot website using Firefox and gathered 
from the tiddlyspot blog that an old version of Firefox would work. I tried 
v10.2 which I had an old laptop. That failed, and the workarounds for 
Firefox looked more complicated than I have time to get into.

Fortunately, I tried Chrome (Version 24.0.1312.52 m) and to my surprise it 
worked immediately (next to try was K-Meleon, the portable version of which 
supposedly works; so I have read). Earlier versions of Chrome reportedly 
did not. When Dropbox compatibility is sorted out I think Tiddlyspot 
hosting can be dropped.

Recently I found this Android app which *looks* nice 
http://spb.com/android-software/wallet/ ; an open source version would look 
nicer. On the device this takes 12.5Mb. TiddlyFolio is a hefty 821k.

[tw] TiddlyFolio 1.0 released

[PJO]

TiddlyFolio has been updated to use TiddlyWiki 2.6.2.

Some plugins have been updated and a tiddler with a baby photo has
been included to help ensure that you get your wiki wallet back if you
lose it (explanation in the wiki).

TiddlyFolio is now an official 1.0 release, not a beta any more.

I now use Lastpass (http://www.lastpass.com) for most of my passwords,
and I secure it with a Yubikey (http://www.yubico.com).

However, TiddlyFolio and DropBox remain useful complements for
securely storing and backing up private data held offline, and, in
addition, data exported from Lastpass*.

*Remember that many online providers have folded or been compromised.

Refer to the original announcement for some links / reviews of
Lastpass and Yubikey products.

***

(Original announcement: 
http://wombatdiet.net/2007/10/26/introducing-the-wiki-wallet-tiddlyfo...)

TiddlyFolio is a wiki wallet for securely storing
* your passwords
* credit card details and
* any other private information you may keep in your wallet or on
your  phone or PDA

Each item may be encrypted when saved, by clicking a checkbox, or
stored in plain text.

If your wallet is ever lost or stolen you should have full details of
the contents at your fingertips and be able to cancel credit and
debit
cards etc. right away. Clicking on the wallet photo will list the
contents of yours (--if the right password has been entered). A quick
report can then be generated for instant despatch to a card
cancellation and replacement service (e.g., Credit Card Sentinel).
TiddlyFolio is intended to be a wiki on a stick--i.e., on a USB
memory chip on your keyring, or on your phone, iPod or other storage.
It includes support for uploading to a private wiki on
TiddlySpot.com,
so you can lose your keys etc. as well as your wallet and still be
able to access your information if you can get online.

Download here: http://tiddlyfolio.tiddlyspot.com/download

Update:
TiddlyFolio has been updated to use the latest TiddlyWiki core. Many
plugins and macros have also been updated. Functionality is largely
unchanged (passwords can now be masked on entry); however, future
core
upgrades should be possible via TiddlyWiki's upgrade function.

Note:
As it uses embedded images this is a release for Firefox only.
TiddlyFolio does not use HTTPS (encrypted transmission) when
uploading
to TiddlySpot. You should ensure that you never transmit or store
unencrypted data online.

Thanks for that. I've got it installed; just opened the file location
and clicked on it.

It works very well!

[tw] Re: TiddlywWiki Download Catalog

[PJO]

I used it ages ago and then stopped, I can't remember why. I think it
stopped working when I upgraded Firefox at some point, meanwhile I
discovered Zotero and OneNote which did more of what I needed at the
time. I'll take another look at TiddlySnip, it should go some of the
way. Thanks for the reminder.

[tw] Search not working

[PJO]

I just tried some searches with the Search this group box and got
back no results for words that DO appear in posts and which should be
searchable.

Just thought I'd mention it (I'm answering an email and was referring
someone to the group and the search function) --FYI

I removed these with editpad lite.

I uninstalled the Skype web add-on for Firefox, but not Skype itself
(v4.1) and, presto, the problem is gone.

[tw] Re: Can't change master password of tiddlyfolio

[PJO]

Hi. I will have a look, though it sounds like a question for Lyall.

As a precaution I recommend that you make sure that you unencrypt all
your encrypted tiddlers first. (See the EncryptDecrypt tiddler, in
particular the Troubleshooting Note). You may do this by renaming the
special tiddler called Encrypt(TiddlyFolio) to Unencrypted. You can
reverse this later or again check the Encrypt box on each tiddler as
needed.

FWIW I haven't been using TiddlyFolio for passwords all that much
lately.

I keep my passwords online now using Lastpass (www.lastpass.com) which
I recommend highly (blog post: 
http://wombatdiet.net/2009/06/16/lastpass-password-manager/).

I will probably drop support for TiddlySpot shortly because of
better / safer sync options: Dropbox and Ubuntu One for files and
Lastpass for individual records. TiddlyFolio is still useful for the
wallet records (credit card details etc.), passwords for e-banking and
other things that should be kept well away from the basket of web
passwords -- no point in a single key to absolutely everything.

It's possible to accidentally upload unencrypted passwords to
TiddlySpot; it doesn't use SSL for the xfr.

I'll update TiddlyFolio to TW 2.5.2 and see if it's a 1.0 release.
This is the first glitch reported for a long time. One thing I'd like
to make go away is the business of clicking Allow to enable writing
to disk.

Paul

[tw] Re: Firefox 3.5.1 hangs Tiddly

[PJO]

My wife's copy of TiddlyFolio (http://tiddlyfolio.tiddlyspot.com) had
all kinds of problems with Firefox after the 3.5.1 upgrade.

In the course of looking at it I found that it was opening a one pixel
beacon on TiddlySpot and signalling to Googleanalytics.com also --
code for both of which was added at TiddlySpot without my having
noticed before. Excising these with Editpad Lite didn't solve the
problem, nor did a clean install of Firefox.

She was able to get by with IE8 though the embedded graphics still
don't display the wiki functions.

I have not had the same problem on my computer with Firefox 3.5.1 even
with the same tiddlyfolio file, so suspect that the problem lies in
java or some other difference between our systems which I haven't had
time to investigate yet.

[tw] Re: Can't change master password of tiddlyfolio

[PJO]

Forgot to add to the above that I am exporting lastpass passwords to a
TiddlyFolio tiddler -- as a means of backing up. Otherwise TiddlyFolio
contains passwords I do not want to sync with lastpass.

[tw] DataDbPlugin

[PJO]

Molicule,

I have started using this and I like it very much. One thing that
would make it even more useful for me is if it accepted URLs and
displayed them in a form one could click on.

Possible?

[tw] Re: Addendum to TiddlerEncryptionPlugin update

[PJO]

You're right. I assumed that accesskey effectively meant password. I
know that putting a password in a tiddler might not make a lot of
sense but for it to be a possible option wasn't entirely unthinkable.
The correct meaning of Accesskey didn't jump out at me any more than
the consequences of editing an encrypted tiddler with 3.1.1.

I haven't followed all of the changes since so I wasn't sure at what
point things appeared to change. I didn't think there had been many
versions in fact between 1.7 (which worked entirely as expected) and
3.2.

If you make any updates I hope my erroneous or even stupid assumptions
will help in clarifiying the docs and thanks for the clarifications.
