Using VimWiki as a distributed, encrypted lab notebook for programming

I have a similar system for a lab notebook / to do list, but without encryption. I use a light weight wiki, Zim http://zim-wiki.org, and setup the directory in my Dropbox folder. That way I'm able to use the full wiki on my desktop, laptop, and work desktop. Because the pages are plaintext with simple wiki markup, I can also view and edit them on my phone.

Zim is also nice for me in supporting LaTeX equations (via a plugin) and being written in Python, I've made a couple of custom tweeks.

Yup, and using dropbox was something I was looking at for vimwiki as well, but the whole "stored in the cloud" thing and the whole "NDA, sensitive data" thing didn't mix (especially in the EU, where you have a whole host of other things to worry about).
