big bad voodoopad

in the past, i’ve tried to get myself into a personal private wiki regime, but i could never seem to get myself to get into the regular habit. sure, i’d give it the ol’ college try for awhile, but i’d eventually fall back into my old habits of tossing stuff that should have gone in the wiki into a sticky note . i think the browser inferface never felt quiet right, which is wierd because i don’t normally hate browser interfaces. anyway, i had big plans to try something like tinderbox, but it seemed like it might be a bit much for what i needed and never could justify the $145 pricetag.

but i might be finally able to wean myself from my sticky note habit, now that i seemed to have taken a liking to voodoopad. what’s amusing is that voodoopad has been sitting on my drive for ages and i just never opened the application. i guess that’s as good a testimony as any for how difficult it is to change user behavior. for whatever reason something has clicked and i’m starting to use it more, and i’m am really liking it. i could easily see it becoming “must have” application.

relatedly, i wonder why subethaedit hasn’t included the ability to edit in “wiki” mode. maybe they have, i haven’t downloaded a new version in awhile. it looks like other people are wondering the same thing.
