#!/usr/bin/env python3
# This script opens a temp file in a vim buffer and after wrting and quiting from vim, it writes the contents to the file
# specified by the file_path with a date and timestamp.
# I use 'rclone' to sync the journal to my dropbox
# the script first fetches any changes done to the pd.txt file
# and then appends the entry and uploads it.
# I use this for my journal.
