Cool!
I always wanted to get into an app like this, though I'd love an Android app to go with it. I don't really understand all the uses for it; I'm just logging serial episodes I watch (currently season 2 of The Unit) and Android apps I install, like, for later reference. Sounds lame but I'm trying to figure out a use for it. It's like I want an app like this, I just don't know what to do with one.
Where is it storing the data? It says it stores them in plain text, but I can't find my entries in the \Data folder (after the app has closed, of course). I know the app itself has a backup/export feature, I'm just curious.
Storage
You should be able to set it to store the files where ever you wish, choose save as and it should show you

Okay. So the description above that says that the database is stored in plain text is incorrect. I can find the default text in those, but the rest are stored in "junk" text files 3KB in size each that, when opened in Notepad, just show random symbols. That ain't really plain text. Now the app just needs password protection, and it *should* be relatively secure, if that's what somebody needed.
I mean, if I'm an IT guy, and I see somebody plugs a portable drive up to a terminal on my network, and I go to the computer, and I'm looking at the drive, I see he's got this journal app, so I dump the data folder because I'm familiar with PortableApps' format. Can I then just open the files and read what he's wrote, or can't I? Seems like I'd need the app for that. Of course, if I've got the data directory, I don't need to get around his password, I just need my own copy of the portable app. Install, drop in my data folder, and bam, I've got his journal.
If networking can work like that. I don't know. But until I'm putting something in it to where I'd need to worry about that, I'm fine with this.
Info
is stored in txt files named by month and year, not sure what more you are asking. I only develop the program not write it. Perhaps if you go to the home page of the original program you can make your requests.
