A blog could be just what you are after. If you have Apache, PHP and MySQL installed locally, it's dead easy to get (say) WordPress running on it.
Yes, I have all those available, I'll take a look at some blog software and see what it offers. What I need that isn't really quite so 'blog like' is:-
Ability to create entries for a nebulous time in the past, e.g. an entry for "Summer Holiday 1995".
A view by year/month or similar.
Other option might be a wiki - something small like TiddlyWiki might be a good option, which runs off a single HTML page and doesn't require any installation.
I already have TWiki up and running and it's what I'm using at the moment, looking for something new is a consequence of having used TWiki for a while and seeing its limitations for what I'm trying to do.
The major limitation for me of TWiki (and most wikis I think) is that the pages it creates are not viewable by any means except through the Wiki. I want either text or maybe static HTML for the actual content as far as possible.
