No More Personal Wiki (again)

Well, again, I’ve killed my personal wiki. Looks like a wiki is just not something that makes sense for a single person. I mean, how can I edit myself, given that everything I write is perfectly accurate the first time around – after all, I’m the one that wrote it 😉

I was mostly using it to track bits of info and perls of wisdom I’d find on the internet, but it just didn’t work for my workflow – and since I’m the my own end-user, it has to be easy and quick. Which it wasn’t.

I’m a heavy use of tables for comparisons and lists, and WikkaWiki wasn’t doing it for me, with the lack of WYSIWYG. I prefer hand-coding too, but creating tables in a wiki by hand is a major PITA.

Now for work, I think wikis totally make sense. Having things out in the open, accessible and editable only with a browser throughout a whole company’s intranet is great. For a single person, probably too heavy and too much overhead, compared to the coolness and integration that a desktop app provides.

I’m now trying out a few apps on my Mac to figure out what works and what doesn’t. More to come when I settle on something…
