Topic: Undertaker, the notetaker under 1kb!

I just made a REALLY small notetaker, that is 260 or so bytes in size, though it is really just a utility to use nano for taking notes.  I called it Undertaker.

Simply right click this link and do "save link as".  If you want to use it by simply typing "undertaker" (without quotes) in the terminal, just move it to your /bin folder.

As soon as I figure out how to make install scripts, I will make one for this, as well as my other script (pidgin-status).

Any comments?

When it asks you to type a name, it cannot handle spaces. It will only use the first word.

Re: Undertaker, the notetaker under 1kb!

Yeah, that's the same problem as what happened in my other script (doh!).  I need to add quotes to where it calls the variable.  Lemme fix it real quick...

Edit: Try the link again.  It probably didn't occur to me that people might want to put spaces in their titles, even though spaces in linux are a generally bad idea. (the title is used in the filename)

Re: Undertaker, the notetaker under 1kb!

Re: Undertaker, the notetaker under 1kb!

I'm probably gonna add a menu to it with different options (list existing notes, search an existing note, etc.).  However, if you want to view yesterday's note, you can simply open it with your favorite text editor (it writes them to a directory, notes, in your home directory).
