Suggestion: player editable journal/notes

(Might as well make suggestions now, before any code is implemented which would make the suggestions harder to implement)
It'd be cool if there was an in-game journal that the player could edit, to remind yourself what you're doing with the game without having to keep it as an external text file to be edited with Notepad. There could even be an option to automatically display the first paragraph of the journal when you first load a saved game.
In addition to a journal, it might be nice to be able to add short, one line notes to items in your inventory or warehouses. That way, instead of having to scroll through your journal to remember what you'd planned for that item, you could just hover your mouse over it to get it as a tooltip. Also, when you used up the item stack the note would automatically disappear, rather than you having to manually delete the note from your journal.
EDIT: Oh, and another idea: if a journal paragraph or item note contains the name of a port/location, when you arrive there the game will give the text to you as a message.

Indeed, having player edible journal and notes would be very appreciated, especially on a long journey.
...oh wait, editable. Nevermind then.

Sunless Skies will have a better quest log, so you don't have to write stuff down.
Question about quest log is answered at 17:40:
