I abandoned the previously blogged phpWiki in favor of the much more
user friendly and elegant MediaWiki
application. MediaWiki, another Apache-MySQL-PHP application, is the
workhorse behind Wikipedia, among other great wikis. One of the most annoying problems that I quickly ran into with phpWiki was that the application began complaining about "conflicting" edits as I made subsequent edits to the same page. Leveraging my programmer impatience, I did minimal troubleshooting and began searching for a different wiki solution.

My favorite features (so far) in Media Wiki are:

• Sections
• Automatic generation of Table of Contents based on page sections. (I was spending a lot of time manually creating navigation links in phpWiki.)
• Shortcuts like '~~~~~' to create a timestamp

Using these three features I'm experimenting with maintaining my Todo list on a Wiki page. The goals are: 1) A more organized Todo List with clear priorities 2) Good way to keep track of where I'm at with the multiple projects that I'm juggling 3) a way for co-workers and supervisors (yeah, right) to get a quick look at what's on my plate.

Here's what I've got so far:

When I have more time I'll be back with more about wikifying todo
lists, becoming ultra-productive and other sneaky ways to
procrastinate onerous projects at work.
