Hi; I just noticed the Bournal application that is new to me appear in the announcement list. "Summary : Write personal, password-protected journal entries Description : Bournal is a bash script that allows you to keep a personal, minimalistic, password-protected journal, log, or diary. It includes encryption, regexp searches, and a date-sorted list for editing old entries. Since Bournal is pure bash, it should be easily editable for the CLI-savvy." This sounds like something I have been looking for. Is anybody using it? I have checked their site and googled for additional information, but the main questions I have are not answered. I want a encrypted, password protected, container/file into which I can store things like some personal data, site passwords, and bank account numbers and passwords. I am not highly secrecy oriented or paranoid so I don't want or need something will completely lock down my computer or create a new partition. Instead I want something that will let me have a modicum of protection from prying eyes, yet will give me easy access to my data when I forget something. It doesn't have to be large, 1 Mb at the very most. I want an application that will be around for a while so that I am not caught without access if the world changes. That is why the idea of it being a bash script is appealing. Has anybody used or worked with Bournal? Do you think it meets my outlined light weight type needs? Is it easy to work with? -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1
