UPDATE - 5/10
It has come to my attention that my co-worker actually uses a modified version of TiddlyWiki called GTDTiddlyWiki.

GTD Tiddly Wiki is a GettingThingsDone adaptation by NathanBowers of JeremyRuston's Open Source TiddlyWiki. The purpose of GTD Tiddly Wiki is to give users a single repository for their GTD lists and support materials so they can create/edit lists, and then print directly to 3x5 cards for use with the HipsterPDA. -- shared.snapgrid.com

I noticed a co-worker always entering things into some HTML interface every day. Finally, I had to find out just what this tool was. It turns out, that this tool was what he uses to organize his day. He uses it as his personal To Do list. I know that just knowing this, won't amaze you. The cool thing about this tool, is that all that is involved is a single '.html' file. That's right, he manages his personal life using a single '.html' file.

What? A Single HTML File?

A guy named Jeremy Ruston developed a cool tool called "TiddlyWiki", and it's made and functions completely off of JavaScript and HTML contained in one '.html' file. All you have to do is go to TiddlyWiki, and download this '.html' file and you can get started. Once opened in a browser (preferably Firefox), you can add to it whatever you please. Take a look at what I was able to do in about 2 minutes.

Out of the box, TiddlyWiki offers:

• Browsable with the vast majority of modern desktop browsers on Windows, Macintosh and Linux and including the Nokia770
• Ability to SaveChanges on FireFox under Windows or OS X, InternetExplorer under Windows and Safari and Camino under OS X
• Rich formatting including MonospacedText, ExtendedFormatting, NonWikiWordLinks, WikiWordEscape, PrettyLinks, SubHeadings, BulletPoints, NumberedBulletPoints, Tables, BlockQuotes, HorizontalRules and the ability to use a CustomCssClass.
• Various InterfaceOptions, including the ability to GenerateAnRssFeed, SaveBackups and AutoSave
• KeyboardShortcuts so you can finish editing a tiddler with Control-Enter or abandon it with Escape
• InlineHTML
• ...EmbeddedImages:
• Macros providing rich interactive features, including Sparklines and Gradients
• a flexible OpenSourceLicense
• a liquid CSS layout that can be customised with a CustomStyleSheet
• Extensive StartupParameters to control the behaviour of TiddlyWiki through specially crafted URLs

The Community around TiddlyWiki has extended this basic functionality with a wide range of Plugins and TiddlyWikiAdaptations. -- Jeremy Ruston, www.tiddlywiki.com
