Remember SideKick (circa 1989)

Does anyone remember the popular "SideKick" TSR program from the late 80's and early 90's? I used that program all of the time. The most valuable part of the program was the ability to journal with a time and date stamp to each new entry.

With the quick keyboard shortcut, it would pop-up my journal (just a simple TXT file) where I could record my telephone conversations, meetings, anything that I was working on. I was able to use it to refer back to past activities, etc.

I really wish there was an application available today that would allow me to do this. Anyone aware of one???

NVU and Kompozer aren't good enough

I'm sorry if this seems a little redundant, but I have been using Kompozer for a while and it still has a few bugs that I can't get around. For example, it expects ALL pages to have a "title". CSS pages don't have titles. Also, the CSS tool is crap. I know that on Linux, I had a good time with Bluefish, but I can't run Linux at the library(not even a live distro) and my computer is down for the count with a fried power supply. Does anyone know how to compile Bluefish so that it will work on Windows and only write to it's own directory?
