Random Thoughts

This blog is to share my thoughts on different topics. The topics range from the mundane to the exotic, from the serious to the humourous. Your comments are welcome !

Are you one of those who are in the habit of maintaining a diary?  Yes ?  If so, you should be aware of the potential for embarrassment in case your diary falls into the wrong hands.  All your most private musings will be out in the open.  Besides, the chore of carrying the diary around is also irksome.  If you are a tech savvy person, you can easily use the humble notepad application in Windows to maintain your diary. Intrigued?  Just open up the notepad and type ".LOG" (without quotes of course). Make sure that you use only capital letters.  Give some name and close it.  Now open it again and you will see that there is a time stamp at the top.  You can now record your thoughts and close it.  The time stamp appears every time you open the file.  Simple isn't it?  

The only draw back is that it is still vulnerable to intrusion.  So what do you do?  Get the free application LockNote and use it to lock your file so that prying eyes are kept out.  You can get it here: http://www.steganos.com/us/products/for-free/locknote/overview/.  This is a free application requiring no installation, which means you can lock your diary and carry it about wherever you go.

Neat, isn't it?
