how Linux supports me when I keep a diary

hello,
I keep a diary, a very long text file and Linux is wonderful with its scripting abilities for support of it. For example I have a scripts like "open the diary on the last page so I can write today's entry" "insert a header with current date and day of the week for current entry" "insert a fortune cookie message of the day taken from the fortune(6) application" "open the diary on a pseudo-random page so I can reflect the past" (this is better than opening a paper diary on a pseudo-random page because you don't involve whether it will be entry from the beginning of the diary or the end)

all this is done by combining the command line switches and ":r!" commands in Vim with custom Perl scripts. I don't know how much it will take to make something like that on WIndows, you will probably have to create your own application in Delphi which is cumbersome.
