My ISP is down. There is vexation among the masses, particularly as I need one set of contact details soon or a real-world transaction will bork. C'est la risk of putting a bunch of stuff on a wiki online; it's available everywhere, but it's very unavailable if the ISP does the dying fly. So I'm sat here like a lemon, fighting the urge to go to treeware despite its many and obvious suckings.

A wiki is my preferred freeform PIM. Perfectly good wikis exist which just use text-files as their data. Here then is the spec for my downtime-inspired disaster-and-zombie-apocalypse-proof PIM from Hell:
But for putting software on a stick, I become once more the eternal noob. Any ideas?

- Phyisical hosting on a ruggedised USB stick with a universal (Windows & *NIX) file format; a device that'll survive being on a keyring, thrown into a bike bag and puked on by the cat. Repeatedly.
- Text-based data storage.
- Two executables which can serve the thing, one each for Windows and *NIX.
- Some security measures on the stick; HTTPS on the served pages.
- Absurdly clean vanilla HTML so it'll run anywhere.
