Php Wiki

I spent the morning setting up a wiki using PhpWiki to use as a personal knowledge manager. No offense to the writers of a great piece of software, but boy could it use some install help. I decided to use it with MySQL and it was a process to get it going. They have a nice little command line that you run to setup the database, but of course I don't have command line access to my server. So there I am setting it all up by hand with phpMyAdmin. I'm surprised I had such little trouble actually.

I'm not sure how much I'm really going to use it, but I do need a better way of keeping notes from work and my personal life. Usually I create about 5 to 10 pages of notes a day in a notebook and trying to find them a month or two later has been an issues. As you can probably imagine.

So far I like the free flow of thought that Wikis allow, but I'm not too sure about how to structure it. I'm sure that after a month of using it, I'm going to hate the way I originally set it up (as far as interlinking). But it's not that big of a deal to make changes...I guess that's the whole point of a wiki.
