You can use it to encrypt any file by creating a new virtual encrypted disk.<br /><br />Here's a step-by-step guide:<br /><br />1. Open "Disk Utility" (Applications > Utilities).<br /><br />2. Click "New Image".<br /><br />3. Enter the name of a disk, for example, "Encrypted disk", select disk size (for example 40 MB, if that’s enough for your files), select AES-128 (recommended) encryption, and click "Create".<br /><br />4. You’ll be asked to enter password. Do it. (Deselect Remember password for more security.)<br /><br />Now you can double-click this disk image to mount it and view and edit files inside it.<br /><br />* * *<br /><br />If you're looking for an easier way to encrypt your journal, <a href="http://www.codingrobots.com/memoires/">Mémoires</a> application supports it out of the box.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7741894633340318051-6100882886699332954?l=www.mac-journal.com' alt='' /></div>Dmitry Chestnykhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741894633340318051.post-79031645478544880742010-03-17T13:55:00.001-07:002010-03-17T14:02:02.157-07:002010-03-17T14:02:02.157-07:00Video presentation with tips on how to write your journal:<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XMPM9_uIJrI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XMPM9_uIJrI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />The same presentation to read:<br /><br /><a title="View How to Write a Journal on Scribd" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/8094983/How-to-Write-a-Journal" style="margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;">How to Write a Journal</a> <object id="doc_417736670725143" name="doc_417736670725143" height="600" width="100%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf" style="outline:none;" > <param name="movie" value="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="FlashVars" value="document_id=8094983&access_key=key-29rqss161rn7wgthfeyt&page=1&viewMode=list"> <embed id="doc_417736670725143" name="doc_417736670725143" src="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=8094983&access_key=key-29rqss161rn7wgthfeyt&page=1&viewMode=list" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="600" width="100%" wmode="opaque" bgcolor="#ffffff"></embed> </object> <br /><br />Links:<br /><ul><br /><li><a href="http://www.moleskine.com/">Moleskine</a><br /><li><a href="http://fieldnotesbrand.com/">Field Notes</a><br /><li><a href="http://www.codingrobots.com/memoires/">Mémoires</a><br /></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7741894633340318051-7903164547854488074?l=www.mac-journal.com' alt='' /></div>Dmitry Chestnykhnoreply@blogger.com
