    Diary suggestion for OS

    This could be an Ubuntu or Debian matter:
    I've tried Lifeograph and CherryTree diary programs - they're clunky! It occurs to me: why another program? The framework is already there and 'to hand', already in the system tray: click the clock! All that's needed is to underlay that 'calendar' with a 'post-it note' means of creating entries (CherryTree's 'engine' adapted?). So right-click on any cell to bring up or create a note to add, edit, delete entry, scroll off note to save and revert to (amended) calendar. No entries? Delete any note, keep or revert to default background. HTML-aware to open web links in browser etc... Currently, current (or special?) day has background shaded: is or can that be a 'tint' rather than a full color? Then any 'cell' that has an entry gets a colored tint, darkening with more entries (selectable color/tint, perhaps defined for national/special days).

    Max. tint level? Well, 3 reminders or more makes a busy day?.
    Not a programmer myself, but what say?

      Probably OK, but not intuitive. Also repeats the calendar. YAP - Yet Another Program.! What I'm looking for is use of the existing calendar (click the clock).

          Still YAP. Perhaps a pointer to a 'dev' thread? To delve into the sys-tray Clock to augment the calendar function? But thanks ...

            So how about just accepting "it repeats the calendar" or some other feature until you find perfection in some other program ...

              Sorry, you really don't get the point. There is already a calendar in the system tray, a single click away (unless you hide it). :/ why go to Yet Another Program? Yes, there might be a 'perfect' one out there, and such might be the basis of my suggested enhancement - or its 'engine' as replacement - of that function - or that function merely bring up that engine? with the rest of that program's functionality 'hidden' as a function underlying the (replaced) Calendar?

                How about the Event Calendar plasma widget which replaces the standard calendar and also allows you to customise the time/date appearance in the system tray. If you double click on the calendar entry for a day it opens the Google calendar (tied to your Google account) in your browser for that day. I use this to keep track of appointments, etc and it also links to my iPhone via Google account too. I find this quite handy.

                As a proper diary/journal of events I want to preserve over a long time I use RedNotebook (as suggested by jglen490) as my diary/journal. I've used RedNotebook for a few years now. By keeping the diary files on Dropbox I can easily sync the diary on various PC's.

                      Thanks, woodsmoke. Any idea on getting it into a coding workshop? GSOC or the like?

                      btw, love your 'footer'! Remember the series but forget the name.
