# JDiary an ncurses Diary, journal and beyond ....

![](https://victorfarina.com/images/wicklestart_120.jpg)This weekend i started a new project , i new idea ... (usually those that never ends up ;)) ) **Problem:**

The habitual method of my day work is to connect (via putty) to a remote machine where i configured the pdmenu with a interface to administer the system and to read mail (via mutt) connec IRC (BitchX) etc ... Recently i would like to annotate all things i just do on a day (a typical diary ) but if this diary could run on a vt100/ansi terminal, then I can do everithing from the pdmenu interface.

**solution**

After trying to find a diary ncurses based (google, freshmeat, sourceforge, ...) i desist .. then i need to make one ... I started to develope it on JAVA with the CHARVA library (first the GUI is SWING based) then i will _convert_ it to console mode. the style of the window must be integrable with the pdmenu interface on the capture. I am started this project on my [CVS](https://victorfarina.com/horde/cvs) and on Sourceforge (without link at the moment). on a few days i put links an more technical stuff.
