While hunting for an answer to the problem mentioned in this entry, I came across something quite neat for the handling and organization of notes.
It's called TiddlyWiki. It is a one-file (HTML) wiki written in Java. It runs in your browser and acts like an online app even though it's locally saved (though I believe you can host it online if you prefer to). As a one-file operation, it's perfect for using as a "Wiki-on-a-Stick" running out of a USB drive / "pendrive": and this is the way I'm using it, since I tend to move back and forth between laptop and desktop from day to day, or even hour to hour, depending on what's going on.
TiddlyWiki is easy to use (it took me about ten minutes to get to grips with all the important functions) and very customizable. Besides having a search facility, it also supports keyword tagging, which I'm finding really useful.
Strongly recommended for those of you who have a project that's building up a lot of notes, but for which you don't need fancy-shmancy project managers with live chat and collaborative whiteboards and mindmaps hung all over them.
