A diary and a LOGO !!!

For quite some time I had wanted to have my own personal diary, which will have atleast a password protection. Downloaded a few from net but was not satisfied. So decided to make one for myself.
A couple of months back I had to sit at home for sometime with a nearly fractured leg, so used that time to create my own diary in Python programming language. That I did in windows. But as usual I want to port everything into Linux. So that is what I did.
Now my diary is working fine except that it is still working through the terminal. My next step would be to give it a GUI so that people may not feel out of place. Then as per the very concept of open source I will release this small piece of application for general public to use.

My other work pertaining Python is a small game cum educational application for kids. There is a famous programming language known as LOGO (Logic of Graphics Oriented) which uses a turtle to draw various figures using commands. Well i too have made one using Python. It has a canvas and a small box to punch in the variables. Now the similarity ends here, as I have given buttons to play with. So students will have fun using this application.

My next step is to convert the buttons into boxes where the programming can be done by the students.

I really hope someday i will be able to make my own programming language. Even though it may not be a great or smooth one but I will make one for myself.
