Player notes on sites without that feature

[twang]

Guys,
some of the sites I'm playing doesn't have the player notes feature and that sucks. How do you keep notes on such sites? Pen and paper? Notepad? I'd love to have some kind stand-alone program that somehow could connect a textfile to the playernames, but I suppose such a program doesn't exist. Or does it?

Any tips for taking/managing player notes for non player notes sites would be appreciated.
