I use to keep a diary file as a single text file. Each note was separated by a datestamp. I wanted to break them out into their own individual text files so I wrote this with some help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18860441/split-diary-file-into-multiple-files-using-python/

Started new and improved diary file. Now in markdown format!

A good UNIX date string (used for my TextMate diary now macro):

date +"# %A 0%Y-%m-%d at %r"

Just do pip install python-memcached and you should be good.

As for installing memcached itself, it depends on the platform you are on.

• Windows - http://pureform.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/installing-memcache-on-windows-for-php/
• OS X - brew install memcached
• Debian/Ubuntu - sudo apt-get install memcached
• On OS X/Linux, just run memcached in the command line.
