I've had something like this for more years than I care to divulge (hint: it was originally written when I was running Consensys's UNIX). It saves notes in text files under a yyyy/mm/dd directory tree and automatically points to a new "day" directory at midnight via cron. "Where are the notes from my conversation with Bob?" Oh yeah: "find $HOME/daily_notes/ -exec grep -l Bob {} ;"

All I'd need to do to use it from the command line would be to change the editor command to "emacs -nw".
