Comments

I keep appending to a file in my home directory. I've aliased it too so that I can access it quickly. Every ~month I email it to myself or back it up elsewhere.

$ alias ed

alias ed='$EDITOR ~/.diary"

The file looks something like this:

# 4/3/2015

Command Comments

-------------------------------------------

M-l # Emacs, lowercase next word
