It's been a long while since the last update, but I've just released version 0.4 of my toy software project ThoughtThing. You can read more about what it does here.
In the great spirit of Open Source software, someone else did most of the work by changing my code for his purposes, and then sent the changes back to me so I could share them with everyone else. A bit of polish and everyone benefits.
He actually used the software to track the organisation of a conference with other people - it's quite nice when something I developed as something to do while looking for work when first back in Sydney has helped someone on the other side of the world organise a conference.

I've just made the first release of a software project I've been working on - ThoughtThing.
The basic concept is that my brain doesn't work in a hierarchical manner, while the file system on my computers (and pretty much everyone else's) insists that I organise my 'stuff' in that way.
In ThoughtThing, you build 'nodes' around yourself, and then define links between them in ways that make sense to you. Each node can have unlimited parents or children, each of which is another node.
Each node can either be empty (a 'container' node), or have a URL tosomething - a website, a contact (as looked up in a vCard file), local pdf,whatever really.
In this way, you are free to build as complex a 'web', 'ThoughtThing' or 'TT' as you like, and link to whatever you find you need to organise.
If you want to try it out, you need a webserver, MySQL and PHP, and then to go and down load the code and let me know what you think :)
