For what it's worth, I built a little app for just such a purpose. It's all in html and javascript, so it'll work on most any OS with Firefox (and probably IE, I haven't checked in a little while). On top of that, you can put the entire thing (data and executable) on a thumbdrive and take it with you. Finally, it uses markdown, so you get a bit more formatting than a simple text file. It uses a javascript AES implementation, so it's reasonably secure.

Take a look and let me know what you think!

What if I want to move this over to a Unix-like system? A plain text
file is obviously unacceptable and I don't want to use a GUI app like
OpenOffice or such.

I use a plain text file, that is encrypted by GNU Privacy Guard.
