Look at Ruby On Rails

Good call. You can quickly and easily create something like this in
RoR. Here's an example that's ugly, but should work:

Create a database for the app to use:
mysqladmin -u root create diary_development

Create the rails app:
rails diary

Configure the app:
cd diary
./script/generate model diary_entry
nano db/migrate/001_create_diary_entries.rb

put the following 2 lines in the create_table section:

t.column :entry_date, :date
t.column :diary_entry, :text

Save and exit

Initialize the database schema:
rake migrate

Create a scaffold for your diary application:
./script/generate scaffold diary_entry

Start the Rails web/app server:
./script/server

point web browser at localhost:3000/diary_entries and start diary'ing!


This should work with the latest RoR. I'm not sure if it'll work with
what's currently packaged in Ubuntu, however. :P
