I haven't forgotten you folks! I come from a Perl programming background, so getting into this project has involved learning PHP, so my "two days" has turned in to a bit longer.
At any rate, I am very close to releasing a 1.3.7 friendly zip of Tony's Journal plugin, with a few extra bug-fixes thrown in, and a new feature as well.
The new feature is the ability to view an entire Journal as a list. To see this in action right now, you can check out my Freelancer journal at Nuke3D.
I am very interested in what other new features you would like to see in future releases of the plugin. I plan on taking the code and running with it for now, so, hopefully you'll see a few more releases of this come out.
Let me know what you guys think!

Two other things:
1. It would be nice to be able to print the whole Journal. It looks like you can print entries, but not the whole journal.
2. It would be nice to sort the Full Journal View either old-new or new-old. It could print the way it is sorted. Could maybe allow admin to set the sort order default.

I would love to see the ability to have category for each entry.

I think it would be nice if the journal would use the Security system. Right now, there is no way to make a journal visable to specific groups or only if you are logged in.

It would be nice if there was a way to delegate whether a journal is included in the Block. I would like this feature to be only available to a site admin. This would let an admin delegate 4 or 5 journals to include in the block. I run a site that has 38 Journals. This makes the block obtrusive.

How the heck do you get it to work? I have a new Geeklog install, 1.3.7sr1, with several plugins cooking, including menu, gallery + gl-gallery, forum, exernal, etc etc. Journal, however, doesn't seem to want to install. After following the sparse instructions included with that latest journal package (12/14/02), going to my url (http://www.mysite.com/journal get me a "Error: Sorry, the journal plugin is not enabled". In the Plugin admin section of the site, it doesn't show up as waiting to be installed. One step that may have screwed me up:
Step 4.Run a query on table.sql and data.sql included in this package.
What do they mean "run a query"? Do they mean to add this into the geelog MySQL db?
Thanks for your help, and I'm looking forward to an updated Journal plug with better instructions.
