Gary,

  For this sort of stuff, I used to run my own (private, locked-down)
MediaWiki installation. This had the advantage of allowing me to reference
my notes wherever I was. I let it lapse a little over a year ago and have
just been using text files in a folder, but I plan to move back to MediaWiki
soon.

  I was also doing my calendaring, etc through MediaWiki (there's a nifty
calendar widget for it), although now that I've got an android smartphone
I'm just using Google Calendar for that stuff.

  Cheers,
    Tyler
