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.

Dan Is All Class

I don’t know the reasons, but I agree with what others have said, the show has been sliding, and Dan’s response is all class.

I would ask for more The Incomparable, Back to Work, Amplified, Build and Analyze, Hypercritical, The Ihnatko Almanac, Mac Power Users….but I can’t keep up now!

(Odd, I always assumed Roderick on the Line was on 5by5. Should be…dang funny show.)

5by5.tv has some of the best darn shows in the internet. Thanks!
