Autojournal

Keeping a journal is something I’ve always had a hard time doing due to a crippling self-consciousness that overtakes me whenever I try to sit down and reflect on my day via the written word. To address this, I developed a Java application that recorded my every key stroke and then ran it through a natural language algorithm to piece together a paragraph summarizing my day. To give myself a little more control, I included a filter to prevent the application from saving sensitive information that I did not want recorded. Every 24 hours, the compiled journal entry for the day was uploaded to my public blog.
