I built something comparable for myself, that I already mentioned here:

It sends an email a day and I just respond to it, and the response is stored in an Sqlite db.

It's not a log, exactly, but could be used as one as I can respond multiple times for the same day.

But I use it to store not just what I did each day, but also my thoughts, or my reactions to things I read, or little things I learn, etc.

It took a little getting used to at first, but in the last 30 months I have never missed a day.

Although it's not the main use, it's fun to be able to tell friends, with near certainty, when exactly we did what.

Haha I did this too. I wish I factored in line breaks.
