When working on non-trivial tasks, I always keep a text document open to log my work (Word, SQL or Markdown depending on the context). I sometimes save the document when I'm done, but it invariably ends up in a project/client directory and seldom being read again.
I'm looking for a way of writing, archiving and searching my logs - a personal, taggable blog of what I did a specific day - so I can both go through my work chronologically ("What did I do that day or week?") or by project ("What did I do last time I worked on that project or for that client?"). It must necessarily be fast and very responsive, and embedding images by drag&drop or copy&paste would be great, but otherwise the needs are pretty basic.
What do you use to log your work, and how do you organize your logs?
