Yes, I agree. However I've never been able to get one of these to
compile with my entries inserted. I think its because many of the
entries have LaTeX code inserted into them and somewhere along the line
things get confused. I really should investigate
further and file a bug report but I haven't gotten around to it.
In the mean time I'm perfectly fine with saving the fancy diary display
as a text file and updating it on my phone. It actually works pretty
well. Indeed, converting the Fancy Diary to LaTeX is trivial and I may
automate it some day.
Thanks for the suggestions.
