Every now and then you come across a bit of software that is so simple, and yet brilliant. Wiki on a Stick is such a project. It’s a small wiki contained in a single html file and a single javascript file. (There are some graphics, but that’s it). Yes, you read right – only 1 html file. Every time you edit/save stuff, it gets added to that one file, although you still see it as a series of interlinked pages.
What makes this so brilliant is that you can stick it onto a USB key, and use it wherever you can access a web browser! Meaning you have your own little notebook, complete with proper wiki formatting and page linking, wherever you go. It’s truly great!

PS – on a side note there is now a link from http://planet.jedimoose.org to the Planet page, which is a little easier to remember
Wow, very cool, thanks for mentioning this. But, how exactly does the javascript write to the file…?
You can write to a local file with Javascript, but it requires permission to do it – you have to allow it permission once on any machine that you use it on.
Hmm, I think I might have heard of this before, but I;ve certainly never looked at it before. It’s actually very useful. Thanks Ben
Sorry for your time…. Why i can\’t see images on this resource?
My Browser is: Opera.
Thank you.
Green_Monkey23 – what, you mean on Wiki-on-a-Stick?
Not sure whether it supports images or not. Oh, and I believe that Opera is only supported as readonly; you\\\’ll need to use Firefox (or another Gecko browser) or IE to use it to it\’s full extent.
[edit]I lie! You _can_ add images, by using standard HTML markup.[/edit]
