Archive for category Notes sync

I’ve been missing the ability to sync notes since I abandoned my last Palm… I used the Palm/Outlook synchronized notes for everything from remebering song lyrics to keeping track of how much money my friends borrowed to buy ice cream.

In OSX  there is bundled program called Stickies which displays lots of colored post-it-like notes on the screen. It’s not really what I want since you have to have all your notes on screen at the same time (if you close one, it counts as deleting it!), but I guess it will do for now. At least as long as I can sync the notes between my OSX machines!

And, it turns out its pretty simple. The notes are stored in ~/Library/StickiesDatabase, so all I needed to do was to add this file to my OSX-prefs Unison sync profile! Of course, you can’t go around editing your notes on two computers at the same time without syncing, but most of the time I’m only using one computer at a time, so it shouldn’t be that much of a problem.
