TiddlyWiki is an amazing, powerful, flexible, fun bit of software. I use it for various project notes and logs, but mostly I use it for my wiki at rudimentarylathe.wiki. I like pretty much everything about TiddlyWiki except the fact that saving the files can be a challenge. A TiddlyWiki is just a simple HTML file. That’s it.

I’ve tried. Several times I’ve tried, but I just keep coming back to the Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional, commonly referred to as the “HHKB”. Apple out, HHKB in" Apple out, HHKB in This time I tried using the Apple Magic Keyboard. I don’t mind the Apple keyboards, but I don’t love them either.
