takenote 0.1

Alright everyone, here’s the first “real” release of takenote. It’s nice and packaged up so you can install it on any GNU system. Enjoy!

Download takenote-0.1.tar.bz2

Changes:

  • Added notification of what topic you’re about to use.
  • Fixed a few bugs in the layout.
  • Fixed autotool configuration. Should build on any *nix, but now depends on wc
  • Added -l option to list currently used topics.

Take a note

While I’m doing work, I sometimes like to jot down notes about what I’m doing to help me remember later. If it’s figuring out how something complicated works, I can keep track of what I’m doing, what works, and what doesn’t. For this purpose, I wrote takenote. I invoke it from the command line and tell it what the subject of the note is. Then it waits and reads in a line of text and writes that line (with a timestamp) to a file in the ~/.notes directory. Allow me to demonstrate:


[eliman@dian-nao]-[eliman] $ takenote -t MissedCalls
Julianne called from work. She said to call her back at (410) 555-9252
[eliman@dian-nao]-[eliman] $ tail ~/.notes/MissedCalls
