windows notepad as a digital diaryI got this interesting notepad tip via email recently. This neat trick can make your notepad as the simplest digital diary possible! Here is how to use the Windows notepad as a digital diary,

1. Open notepad and type .LOG as the first line and press enter.

2. Save and close the file giving any filename.

3. Now open the file again in notepad. Surprisingly the current date and time is inserted automatically after the .LOG line. Now you can enter the daily dairy entry here.

The cool thing is that every time you open this file, a new line with current date time is inserted making it a digital diary! Notepad also supports manual entry of date time using F5 key.

If the above instructions are too complicated for you to follow, check out the following instructional video on metacafe.
