    Private wikis

    Got a small personal wiki hosted on my laptop which basically is everything from recipies to technical how tos.

    Would quite like to move it to a hosted solution (free if possible), obviously private with logins and possibly a couple of users which uses the standard wiki syntax so I can copy and paste.

    Anyone use one?

    I am sure I found one but I have since lost the link.

    Cheers

    It's not a wiki of course, but sounds like Evernote might work for you.

    Doesn't do multiple users for one account right enough.

      Cheers, I'll give that a go.

      Just registered for wikidot.com but I am on IE6 at work and the pages are all over the place so I really don't know what it is like.

        Similar concept to Evernote is Microsoft OneNote.

        I store my onenote files on SkyDrive, and share them with relevant people. The OneNote clients on my laptop, desktop and phone all then sync automatically.

              What are you using for offline?

              I currently have a mixture of text files and spreadsheets. Maybe I could be more organised?

              Not interested in online solutions as I prefer to keep my notes private and relatively secure.
              Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

                I was using pmWIKI running off a USB apache webserver I had stored on a dropbox directory, the data was in flat file.

                It meant I could run it anywhere I had my dropbox content.

                While it was a clever little solution I would never download dropbox to a work machine so I could never access it at work or on my phone.

                I could not get the mySQL instance running on the USB server as I have mySQL on all my machines, tried everything but just gave up.

                For anything important I use a truecrypt volume in a dropbox folder, the wiki is for just notes.

                  Ok, thanks. Sounds a bit more complicated than a bunch of text and excel files though so will have a look around for any similar suitable offline based software.

                  Edit: Wiki on a Stick looks interesting.
