asciilifeform: I have been in search of a solution to this problem for many years. (The quest is chronicled in this blog entry: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=8)Until my own system is complete, I will continue using a standard "moleskin" notebook (expensive, but I fill it up very slowly and I doubt that a cheap one would stand up to several years of sharing a pocket with a set of keys.)
