Bournal
Bournal is a bash script that allows you to keep a personal, minimalistic, password-protected journal, log, or diary. It includes encryption, regexp searches, and a date-sorted list for editing old entries. Since Bournal is pure bash, it should be easily editable for the CLI-savvy.

Scratch that last comment. I fixed this in 1.4.1.
Fixed it good!
It has been brought to my attention that ccrypt has a security flaw under FreeBSD that allows people to see your password by using the ps command while using this script.
Solution:
Don't use FreeBSD.
If you know someone using Bournal under these conditions, now is your chance to snoop. Go, man, go!
Thanks to everyone who submitted suggestions and security fixes!
Been using it since 0.4 (with a bit of tweaking to enable readline), nice to see new updates.
Definitely the most robust no-nonsense mind-backup thing I've seen. Thanks.
