Epperstone Geocache

I thought that I would get out on my bike and do the Epperstone Enquiry Geocache today whilst everyone was at Newstead Abbey. I fixed my GPS on my handlebars which made life a lot easier. I managed to clock up 45 kmph as a top speed. It really poured with rain as soon as I left the house and the weather didn’t make it’s mind up at all. Sunny then wet.
TiddlyWiki

Heard about this non-linear WIKI space via the NAACE mailing list. It is called TiddlyWiki and it seems on the outset much like a blog using fairly smart dynamic keyword links. I need to explore it more.
I have just spent a bit of time exploring the TiddlyWiki site and tutorial trying to understand a little more about the uses of that type of communication. It is very dynamic and seems to be based on the premise that everything is contained within one HTML file. But it has to be located on a server for it to be seen on the web. The actual build of the blog (I personally think that it is a blog) is far more flexible though. You can literally build whatever you like in terms of page using the keyword links. You just click on a link and the Tiddler pops up on the screen under your last blog. I suppose this just breaks down the linear barriers of a normal blog or web site. You basically build what you see by taking it in any direction you want just from clicking on words. This could be an interesting project if stored on a school server and viewed as a local file.
