A Simplenote Affair « Macdrifter: “WriteRoom Dropbox sync is amazingly fast. It’s faster than Simplenote with a large collection of notes. I use WriteRoom to quickly add a note. The launch and refresh time beat Simplenote by a large margin. The only thing I don’t like is the enormous margin in landscape.”

I’ve settled on Byword on my iPad for writing, and Elements for search if I can’t find what I’m looking for by the title.

However, work folks are threatening to block dropbox access again. Hopefully they wont, but if so, I’m screwed. I rely very heavily on my text notes and easy sync workflow. I would have switched to iCloud for syncing, but they already block that.1

Oh well, I’ll cross that bridge when it screws up my productivity. If I find any creative solutions, I’ll write about it here.


  1. That’s the price for working in healthcare. I shouldn’t complain, but I’m far more trusting in people than our security folks. After all, it is their job to be paranoid. I wish we could find some middle ground where work can get done, and paranoia can be satisfied. ↩︎

Yeah! I finally got the bike out this am for a quick ride. It’s been a long time. The forecast is for a nice sunny day, but it was foggy and damp this morning. Very damp…and chilly. :-)

No complaints though. It was nice to have cool enough weather to wear my big leather jacket and not roast.

To my pleasant surprise, the bike started right up. I don’t know why, but I figured I’d have a challenge getting it started since it’s been neglected for so long. But, no. I hit the starter and it roared to life, ready for adventure.

Adventure books, I keep reminding myself, were written in the mid-1970s for men, just as James Bond movies were made for men. And the women in them are, well, less than the men. If you can make it past this issue, the book is a fun, quick read.

Dirk Pitt goes to look at a ship stuck in an Iceberg, and has at least 3 attempts at his life because of something he has learned, but he doesn’t know exactly what. As with Sahara, which was recently made into a movie, the actions sequences are improbable, but fun. An enjoyable read, if you ignore the women!

Marriage: What Is It Good For?

Kudos to the Supreme Court yesterday ruling correctly that equality is a constitutional right under the law, and not something to be argued about and applied willy-nilly.

I know I’m just whispering to the wind, but it is important to keep this point going forward: This fight has never been about religion. Marriage in this country is not restricted to a specific religious sect or group, and likewise, it is not defined by a specific group.
