Crack open your favorite terminal and punch in the following commands. mkdir -p ~/diary/`date +"%Y"` (once) nano ~/diary/`date +"%Y"`/`date -I`.txt (daily) The first command will create a "diary" directory in your home directory and then create a subdirectory for the current year. The second command will create a text file named for the current date in the current year's directory and open it in a command-line text editor. There's no need to install anything, it'll be compatible with any software that can read plain text and when you want to search for particular entries you can use grep. -- Matthew Graybosch https://matthewgraybosch.com #include <disclaimer.h> gemini://starbreaker.org gemini://tanelorn.city "Out of order?!
