“Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.”

“A young boy traveled across Japan to the school of a famous martial artist. When he arrived at the dojo he was given an audience by the Sensei “What do you wish from me?” the master asked. “I wish to be your student and become the finest kareteka in the land,” the boy replied. “How long must I study?” “Ten years at least,” the master answered. “Ten years is a long time,” said the boy. “What if I studied twice as hard as all your other students?” “Twenty years,” replied the master. “Twenty years! What if I practice day and night with all my effort?” “Thirty years,” was the master’s reply. “How is it that each time I say I will work harder, you tell me that it will take longer?” the boy asked. “The answer is clear. When one eye is fixed upon your destination, there is only one eye left with which to find the Way.””

How to sync Notational Velocity, Simplenote, and Dropbox text documents with Hazel

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:41:00 -0600

Update: None of this works. Download Notational Velocity.

Dropbox is optional. You don’t need it, it just provides another means of accessing your text notes.

Get Hazel
Get Notational Velocity
Get Simplenote
Get SimplenoteSync
Run the command sudo perl -MCPAN -e “install Crypt::SSLeay” in the Terminal, and just accept the defaults. Make a .simplenotesync file in your home directory following the instructions on the SimplenoteSync page.
Set the default note location in Notational Velocity to be someplace in your Dropbox directory, and have it use text files instead of a database.
Set up a Hazel rule as follows: If any of the following conditions are met: Date Last Modified is in the last 1 minute Do the following: Run shell script SimplenoteSync.pl. Call it “Sync Changes”.
Set up another rule as follows: If all of the following conditions are met: Name is donotdeleteforsyncpurposes and Date Last Matched is not in the last 10 minutes Do the following: Run shell script SimplenoteSync.pl.
Create a file in Notational Velocity called “donotdeleteforsyncpurposes”.

Every 10 minutes, or whenever a file is changed locally, Hazel will run the sync script. You can change this 10 minute delay as you like; Simplenote told me that every few minutes is fine.

This will work until there’s a desktop app that uses Simplenote’s API. I’m not responsible if your data is eaten by a cloud. Send feedback to jtth@jtth.net

What the ranch will be with all the heart taken from it, and the loneliness made twice as lonely by comparison, I grow desperate, and feel as if I could not let you go without at least risking the question. But Clover,—let me call you so this once,—no woman could consent to such a life unless she cared very much for a man. Could you ever love me well enough for that, do you think?” “It seems to me a very unfair sort of question to put,” said Clover, with a mischievous glint in her usually soft eyes. “Suppose I said I could, and then you turned round and remarked that you were ever so sorry that you couldn’t reciprocate my feelings—” “Clover,” catching her hand, “how can you torment me so? Is it necessary that I should tell you that I love you with every bit of heart that is in me, and need you and want you and long for you, but have never dared to hope that you could want me? Loveliest, sweetest, I do, and I always shall, whether it is yes or no.” “Then, Geoff—if you feel like that—if you’re quite sure you feel like that, I think—”
