About
Hi, my name's Ben Gillies. I'm a software developer currently working on open source web technologies at Osmosoft. Most of my work revolves around TiddlyWeb and TiddlyWiki - with TiddlyWiki being client side, while TiddlyWeb is server side. For those who don't know what TiddlyWiki is, I would recommend you check out http://tiddlywiki.com and have a play with it yourself, but essentially, its a portable wiki built in a single file that allows you to add and edit wiki entries and then take your wiki around with you, or email it to your boss, if you feel that way inclined.
This site itself is built on the server side version of TiddlyWiki, called TiddlyWeb, which is a REST-ful data store system designed to serve up content (binary as well as text) via the medium of tiddlers, recipes and bags. To find out more, you're probably best off checking out the TiddlyWeb site. You may notice that this web site, while running TiddlyWeb, isn't running TiddlyWiki (as it used to). That's intentional, and demonstrates the power of TiddlyWeb (serving the same content in multiple ways) as my old site still exists and pulls data from the same store as my current site.
Im around in various places on the web. Check them out:
