But that quickly blossomed to about 1.1 gigabytes of text files, as I regularly generated 1-5MB of text per day. And alas, Vista's tagging doesn't work as well as it could (it hardly works at all). So I installed a wiki on my machine. A wiki running on localhost is fairly simple to set up, and it's like a text editor on crack; I can categorize all my doodles, people's info, etc., and each page can be in multiple categories and fairly simply link to others. It's hardly harder than Notepad, and when I'm at home, I can access my notes from anywhere on the network without having to set up complex network sharing. My first computer running a wiki, I set up IIS and OpenWiki by myself, just so I could legitimately say I had practical experience with IIS and wiki software. On every computer after (or when I'm asked to install a wiki on someone else's computer), there's software packages available like BitNami that make installing and maintaining a one-computer wiki dead simple. The only downside is that it's harder to back up, but there's bound to be a workaround for that too. A note on text files: I originally did that.
