1. What were you looking for when you first found Tiddlywiki? A way to create a multimedia notebook was my first goal for what I call my Dream Machine. At the time I found TW I was using a Blast Wiki and that required a server and I thought 'Wouldn't it be cool if a Wiki had all the data it needed inside itself and built itself' Then I found TiddlyWiki and it did just that. As a Contact Juggler words are not the only thing that I need in a journal. So TiddlyWiki is my Multimedia Journal.
2. Was there anything about the program, the eco-system, whatever, that frustrated you nearly to the point of giving up on it? I broke TiddlyWiki about 1,000 times with Images and Videos. I stopped actively using it for a while as I found the iPad and Android options frustrating at times and my computer was not my primary compute module anymore. I then got heavily into the Raspberry Pi as a hardware platform to learn more about computing. Unfortunately the CPU and browser are not ideal for TW 'Web Based Browsing'. I have been cloud computing more and more but I still want my stuff to be my stuff and that is why I love TW. I don't have to rent the software as it is open source. 3. What made you stick with the program? Having owned lots of software since I first started using computers. This is the best way I have future proofed myself was using TiddlyWiki. I pulled up old TW files from years and years ago and dragged and dropped them into my current TW. I was able to pick and choose the data I wanted. Wish I had TW when I first started using computers as it is a great way to keep data long term. I always tell people don't buy a computer because you need a computer. Buy a computer to do a task. If it does that task on day one it will do that task on day 1001 no matter what else changes in the world. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
