PLOD: Keep Track of What You're Doing

Authors:

Abstract: 

PLOD (the Personal LOgging Device) is a simple text interface which allows System Administrators (and others) to keep a record of the work they do from day to day. The program was developed in Perl with device independence, flexibility, extensibility, and ease of use in mind. The user interface is reminiscent of Berkeley mail, complete with many pre-defined tilde-escapes which perform various useful functions. Users may easily extend the program by defining their own personal escape sequences.
