I find the writing part relatively easy – the “writing anything worthwhile” part is a bit harder, though.

I'm something of an Ink Philanderer myself, though I've been heartbroken so many times when a relationship that started out promisingly ended badly - that pretty Noodler's Manhattan Blue with the zeppelin flying over New York on the label refusing to write in the Pelikan, for example - that I tend to stick with ink x in pen y once I find a happy marriage.

I think that metaphor shifted over two sentences. Ah well.

Good luck with actually writing anything. I find that this is the stage in the process that is most prone to failure.

Tried running the SNYS script and immediately got this error message: “Can’t make ’0.31′ into type real”. See screenshot http://twitpic.com/1cxf96. Running Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and Yojimbo 2.1.

[...] folders, and so on. Web pages, which I used to store in Yojimbo, I now put into Instapaper. While it is possible to use Yojimbo and Simplenote together, I haven’t done it, so I’m not sure how well it [...]

I have your script running at login and I love it. Thanks a ton!

One little nit I encountered relates to how encrypted notes in Yojimbo are synced. If you create a new note in Yojimbo, encrypt it with Item > Encrypt, add it to the "Simplenote" collection, and then run SNYS, the note will be visible in plain text via Simplenote. I expect the encrypted note would either 1) not be synced with Simplenote, 2) be synced with Simplenote with SNYS explicitly documenting this behavior, or 3) to be synced as an encrypted item in Simplenote. As Simplenote doesn't support encryption, #3 isn't an option, so either #1 or #2 would do. My preference, although only because it avoids some security concerns is #1.

In any case, this isn't an urgent issue. The most important thing is that you know you've made an incredibly useful product. Thanks again.
