I'm a whiny faggot, so I decided to start keeping a diary.

That's just my day job - in my spare time I also work as a security researcher. Needless to say, I'm a paranoid mother fucker, and I don't like the idea of my innermost thoughts chilling out in some gay ass cloud.

My first idea was to store the text file in an AES encrypted volume on a thumb drive, but I would be writing on uni lab computers ~50% of the time, so I wouldn't be able to use truecrypt on them.

The second was to type the entries in Vim on my uni timeshare account, and use a python script to encrypt/decrypt them, but frankly that's just a pain in the ass.

I figured someone here might have come across a similar issue and found an easier solution?

Right now I'm leaning towards encrypting/decrypting ascii text files w/ a python script, but maybe someone has a better idea? It's sufficient, but just feels really ass backwards.

Totally seconding previous ideas, but still:

FreeOTFE is a free windows program to manage encrypted volumes. It comes in a portable flavour that doesn't need privileges, and it is possible to create a volume that will also work with dmcrypt, so you can share your encrypted volumes between windows and GNU/Linux machines.

Under GNU/Linux, however, you DO need privileges (unless root was so kind as to make a custom fstab entry), so depending on your environment this may not be what you need.
