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.

Not interested in online solutions as I prefer to keep my notes private and relatively secure.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
