..an alternative notebook idea; set up a cron job to mail 
yourself the diff of "todays" .bash_history and "yesterdays 
command line history", and, make an habit of reading and 
commenting on it while you still remember why and how etc 
you did whatever you did "today."  

..kept in its own mail archive, database etc, your command 
line history will eventually do for you what you used to 
come pleading to d-u for, and I guess this new habit can 
lift d-u to a nice new level. ;o)
