Antblog: a diary just for myself

the
Preface
Friends, I, to my deepest regret, do not know how to write beautiful, long and foldable articles. I'm just a C++ developer. Some even say that good. And that happened to me a trouble — I wrote the program, but to talk about it sensibly I can't. To tell so that people want to use it. No, You do not think, this is not my first program, behind me eight years of experience on C++ a decade of programming in principle in many languages. Just right now I want to develop not for the sake of development, and for the sake of my program was the people that she was someone other than me, useful. So I know that I'm not doing this just for the sake of gaining experience, although it is also very valuable in itself, but for the sake of someone, maybe in the next house, and maybe on the other side of the planet, clicked on the icon of my program. I would, from this awareness, it was damn good. No matter what kind of task this program performs, it is only important that it works. Working for the good of the people. Because the developers is in order and there is light to their creations benefit others.
I would like to show You is one of those programs which I distribute for free. It is called PJournal (eng. Private Journal — a personal diary). Yes, You read that right, it's a personal diary, in which you can maintain your records. Moreover, their character is unimportant, they can be for everyone, and only the personal that can be seen only by You. For the latter, by the way, the entrance in the diary is organized by account.
Why I chose a program of this type? Because I have long years of want to keep a diary, but a notebook did not come principally because they have absolutely no protection from prying eyes, and all the programs that I have tried to use. were either too overloaded with functions or too simple. I wanted to write without any censorship and adjustments, otherwise, what is a diary, right?

the Yeah, bootstrap, but it's better than willigly design developer alone without designer, isn't it?

The diary is useful for IT person
1. In the diary you can make new ideas
How many times have You came to a great idea? And how many of these ideas will You remember? I am sure that these numbers differ considerably. Diary for this purpose and may serve to record the beautiful idea of the startup to later get back to it, to study it much more. Then, re-reading the idea, You will be able to re-enter that state in which it came up again to feel the rise of forces, to get a burst of inspiration.
Formulating the main goal of Your idea, You can not deviate from it, to keep it always before my eyes. You will be able out there to note the progress to this idea, what You have achieved. You will be able to formulate sub-objectives, what exactly You need to achieve. In any case, You will be able to stay the course.
2. The diary helps the self-organization
If You decide to take up his discipline, it will be possible to train her with the help of a diary. If you try every morning to paint a plan for the evening, and in the evening to mark the points that are made, You'll become a more disciplined person. And if we write comments why one or the other task was not solved today, it will do fine.
3. Introspection
Touching on the theme of discipline and self-improvement, you can mention introspection. People will analyze everything that you write. And analyzing day passed, You will be able to see the mistakes that You made. And seeing them, You can try them to make.
4. Look at yourself from the outside
It's really I wrote half a year ago? Strange, what a fool he was. It often happens that a sober look at ourselves allows to discipline myself to handle life.
5. Learn how to make decisions
If you remember the student or school, we can see that any difficult and complicated problems were solved on paper. It is understandable, it is impossible to keep in mind a huge set of data required for the solution. And who told You that life is such a simple thing to achieve success on a whim? You don't think through the architecture of a large system, just in my head (I hope not :))? Presenting the idea on paper, You will be able to adopt the most suitable solution, as you will not handle the most recent data and to see the whole picture.
