I used to have a diary, a paper book to take notes left for a future version of me to peruse at some later date, but the thing was it was never always there, so if you were ever to look into my diaries you would see huge gaps where I hadn’t written for the few months it was stuck under the bed.

So the natural question is whether to blog it? I spend a lot of time on the computer, obviously. Now while it can work (there have been several entries before here where I have tried, most days really aren’t that interesting, and to be honest there are some things I’d like to write in private without the constant fear of some unintended member of the audience reading something about them or their friends. (Purely negative, obviously)

So I often wondered if there was a way to keep a diary on the computer without having to publish it somewhere. Turns out there is.

A quick Google research brings up several ‘free’ diary applications which upon thorough inspection were no longer free, and ironically by the time you read this it may also be true of the application I am touting… Sorry!

The application I found is called Journler, and it’s surprisingly awesome…

It has lots of additional capabilities, like recording video audio and taking photos and it is certainly an amazing application, grab the free 2.5 (.4 for Leopard) version while you still can, if not 2.6 is a shareware application for about £18 ($35…) or if you’re a student (like me) it’s just £10.13 ($19.95). I love the exchange rate hehe.

Anyway it’s free for a few more days, so don’t miss out!! Download Journler
