Someone just turned me on to TiddlyWiki...

It makes a good portable notebook if you have things you need to reference at home, or on the the go. It uses simple web technologies, and is of course cross platform. I'm using it for my computing notes to store commands I don't use often enough to remember. It's much better than the simple text document I was using. it would also be good for someone like Squeezy, to keep track of different tobacco methods and recipes. Put it in SpiderOak or Dropbox so it can be referenced anywhere you have a net connection.

Is this something more similar to say google docs?

No, it's more like a portable Wikipedia. It doesn't have any online component unless you take it online. It uses html, css, and javascript, but opens as a local file in the browser. It's a fancy notebook that allows you to link to similar entries, and makes organization easy. Their website is an example of what it looks like in practice. It looks like it was all done in TiddlyWiki. You can open up the entries to see how it gets put together, but of course you can't edit their stuff. The whole download is 124kB(compressed), and it gets as big as your entries are. I have a handful of entries in mine, and it's currently 422kB. A nice size for using mobile so you don't need a ton of bandwidth.

Sounds pretty sweet. I ended up dropping my computer science major a few years back. My teachers would always tell me my algorithms were so much shorter and far better than other peoples because I am very good at math but that my basic programming knowledge was complete shit. I never could really understand programming.
