Thotkeeper is an open-source, cross-platform diary/journal application using XML datafile format. If you like to keep a journal where you can write down anything interesting that you see or hear in life and don't want it to be publish. And you don't need features to add images, audio, beautiful theme and etc. You should go ahead and a give it a try.

It's just a simple application to keep your journal in your system. I use it to write my diary, as you know or may not know, writing a blog is not as easy as you think, you need to provides accurate information to your readers and need to put effort to decorate or design your page. So if you don't feel like putting so much effort to write a blog, you can use thotkeeper to write your diary instead.

To run Thotkeeper in Ubuntu:

Steps:

1) Download thotkeeper from http://thotkeeper.googlecode.com or thotkeeper

2) Extract the downloaded file to your desire location

3) Open a Termial and run the following command to install python and wxpython

apt-get install python python-wxversion

4) Go to the extracted folder and execute the following command to run thotkeeper
./thotkeeper #if not working, try python ./thotkeeper

5) Done (Easy isn't it)

I'm glad you like the ThotKeeper. And thanks for indirectly offering an answer to what I suspect is a common questions about applications like this: "Why use custom software when I could just use a blog?" The most common and persuasive reason is simply "privacy".
