Jack LIRE (Linked Record) is a quantum database-backed life-long text record diary with referencing (linking) between records, and a data library for life-long keeping of files such as documents, photographs, music and more. The diary records are fully searchable. Files can be mentioned in diary records to preserve memories, document knowledge and ideas, and more. Massive numbers of diary records and files can be permanently kept. A database located on one computer can be accessed from another computer across a computer network or the Internet, and multiple people can sign into and work on the same database at the same time and share the diary records, files and other objects in the database.
