[SLUG] today's scary thought

[Del <del@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone asked me today, as they often ask me about things Linux, if I had a Linux replacement 
for their favourite "journal" app that they run on their (windows) PC.  I asked what that 
journal app did, and was told:

"You can set it to track when you open files of various types [in other applications] and how 
long they are open for.".  Further quizzing revealed that you can set it to record when those 
files were opened, saved, closed, and when and where any saved and backup copies were stored.

I mentioned the security impacts of such an application, or even the fact that such an 
application was possible, and left it at that.
