Swan in the Canal - Morelia ZooA
In my work, I do a lot of brainstoming. That might sound like something that would be a lot of fun to do for a living, and it is. But, like anything you do a lot, over time it becomes a process in which you use a lot of tools to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible.
I have used Wikis a few times over the years to get people involved in documenting their creative processes, but because they are usually installed on a server with a webserver, I never considered using one as my private notepad. I realized my oversight today when I read my son’s post on his tests of tools to help him in writing.
Although I plan to buy a new notebook computer soon, I don’t think I would select a Mac just for the editing programs. So I decided to look for some reference to desktop wiki to substitute for the VooDooPad wiki he mentioned in his journal. I looked around and found myself using the MoinMoin DesktopEdition within a few minutes. (If you are using Windows, do use the Windows download version to get it running quickly)
Using it, I managed to get the rebranding process done I have procrastinated on for a couple of weeks. Is it the tool or the idea of trying out a new toy that got me going? I don’t really know and only time will tell. In the meantime – Wiki Wiki! (Quick Quick)

Of course, there are many other perfectly good reasons for buying a Mac….
