Orwell 0.1 beta 1 released!

[Chris Neary]

 Exactly - whereas when you're making quick notes, you'll probably (usually)
find the time to pop a quick title at the top while the first ideas ferment
in your head. For instance, I recently made a note (on paper though) about
what I need to do to backup Breezy and get rid of all the crap and broken
packages I've installed to start a fresh (I know, I know. I just want to
start over with Dapper. This is not where I want to bring up the argument
again about the Windowsism of 'Fresh/Clean' installs)

So, I got a pen and paper and wrote 'Stuff I need to do for backup'.
There I go, underlined. Now I can see what that note is all about.

So if Orwell, as a note-taking application just says 'Oh. Time for me to
autosave. Let's see. The first sentence is "Blah I hate backups and
restores"', then it names that note accordingly.

Just a thought.

It may be called ~/Documents/Blah001.dat or ~/Blah\ I\ hate\ backups\ and\
restores.txt or whatever, but as a note-taker I think I'd prefer the former
naming convention idea.

Cheers
 Chris
