PLOD: Keep Track of What You're Doing

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 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.
