I am looking for a personal diary/journal package that will run under Linux (if I have to, I can use Open office but that is only a last resort). The simpler the better but it must have encryption built-in. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Probably not what you're looking for, but what I do is have a public blog on my website using WordPress[1].
For private journal entries, I have a directory have Journal in my home directory. In this I store entries written in OpenOffice.org Writer, encrypted using GnuPG[2] (from Core). (I use Seahorse[3] from Extras to easily accomplish this with a nice GUI interface.)

Hope that helps!
It looks like such a program does not exist for Linux. I spent an inordinate amount of time on freshmeat and sourceforge trying to install what was there. Most were web based blogs which is not what I was looking for. The ones that were workstation programs were either impossible to compile/install due to dependencies on ancient releases of various libraries and the like or did not have encryption. Most had not seen activity in a very long time. I am guessing that this is an application that is not too popular so receives little attention.
I appreciate the responses that I did get. Thank you!
If anybody is out there actually using an application that works for them I would still love to hear from you!

Have you looked at eJourn, or Cire? See http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Office/News-Diary/
or perhaps GnoTime (in fedora extras)..

I finally found one that works! It is not very pretty but it does exactly what I want it to.
If you are interested, it is the "Secure Java Diary" http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Office/News-Diary/Secure-Java-Diary-1107.shtm... you will also need some java security files at: https://jsecom16c.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=B77846E8CF4A3938...

A diary was something I've been thinking about the other day. Are there any that store their information in a manner that can be read by something else?
I'm thinking of something like a business diary where you jot down notes related to work today, tomorrow, next week, etc., and you can refer back to them years later without needing special software to do so.
At this stage I've just written a flat HTML calendar page. I can see what needs to be done on any PC on the network, and years later I'll be able to *easily* check up on who had what done for them on what date.
I've tried using calendar functions in various mail programs, but they only work on the local client. Not to mention that you need to continuously run a behemoth program to check on what you should be doing (for reminders about multiple activities during the day).

Do you mean like the 'tasks' folder of evolution?

There are several ways of running any X program from any machine, but if you really want a trouble-ticket sort of tracker for multiple users/groups you might like RT. It is overkill for a to-do list, but the price is right: http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/

Yes, but the same program also checks for email which you need to do anyway - and note that if your own terminal doesn't have the capacity to run the programs you need you can run it remotely on a more powerful machine that could be serving many users. In fact if you have such a machine you might be better off running your own desktop as a thin client.

Hey Paul,
I'm quite interested in the diary software as well, so I'm a bit new to Linux, so I need to ask you two favours if you can please:
A) I downloaded the .tar.bz2 file, now can you please walk me through installing it? B) The files I need from Java need a sign-in, so can you send them to me, because I dont have a sign-in...
Thanks

Ali, I sent you the Java files direct to your email to keep the traffic down on the list.
The install is really quite simple:
There are two files:
[downloads]$ ls -lrt -rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 840971 Dec 30 16:22 securediary-0.3.0a.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 12195 Dec 30 16:29 jce_policy-1_4_2.zip [tspdlp@lemix downloads]$
Expand the files:
[downloads]$ tar -jxvf securediary-0.3.0a.tar.bz2 [downloads]$ unzip jce_policy-1_4_2.zip [downloads]$ ls -lrt drwxr-xr-x 2 tspdlp tspdlp 4096 Jun 16 2003 jce drwxrwxr-x 3 tspdlp tspdlp 4096 Dec 30 16:24 JDiary -rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 840971 Dec 30 16:22 securediary-0.3.0a.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 12195 Dec 30 16:29 jce_policy-1_4_2.zip [downloads]$
I moved JDiary out of my working download directory to my home directory. It could really be placed anywhere.
[downloads]$ mv JDiary ~/
Figure out where to put your java security modules:
[downloads]$ which java
/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/jre/1.4.2/bin/java
I have Oracle installed so I use it's JRE by default. It has not caused me any problems so I have not done anything to use the Java that comes with FC4. Anyway, the path to the directory to be updated for me was: /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/jre/1.4.2/lib/security
[downloads]$ cd /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/jre/1.4.2/lib/security [security]$ ls -l -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 30337 Apr 6 2005 cacerts -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2223 Apr 6 2005 java.policy -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 6871 Apr 6 2005 java.security -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4368 Dec 30 16:38 local_policy.jar -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4355 Dec 30 16:38 US_export_policy.jar
I always keep original files...
[security]$ mv local_policy.jar local_policy.jar.old [security]$ mv US_export_policy.jar US_export_policy.jar.old
Copy the updates:
[security]$ cp ~/downloads/jce/*.jar . [security]$ ls -l -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 30337 Apr 6 2005 cacerts -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2223 Apr 6 2005 java.policy -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 6871 Apr 6 2005 java.security -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4368 Dec 30 16:38 local_policy.jar -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2910 Apr 6 2005 local_policy.jar.old -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4355 Dec 30 16:38 US_export_policy.jar -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2429 Apr 6 2005 US_export_policy.jar.old
Now try to run the program:
[security]$ cd ~/JDiary [security]$ ./runit&
After I saw it work via command line I created a desktop Icon for it so that now I just double click on it to bring the program up.
I hope this helps. The program is extremely basic and could use some some serious aesthetic improvements but it does work. I use it to keep simple notes on a day to day bases. It encrypts the data, which was the most important to me because I keep both personal and personnel information in it.
If you are not interested in the encryption I found two other programs that worked: They are "cire" "Daily Journal". Between the two "Daily Journal" is the one I would use if I were looking for a GUI. The "cire" program will work in console mode.
Hope this helps.

Hi
I have been looking around also and had found one in the past. Worked for me on older versions of linux Here is the link www.geocities.com/letapk/thedailyjournal.html
Maybe you have already experimented with it
Thanks Ninad
