![]() Since I never know where you’ll find a cool story or website, it’s essential that this file gets synced. When I have enough web links related to a particular topic, I write a column. That file is an ever-growing list of interesting websites grouped by category/genre/topic/etc it’s the digital equivelent of my desk’s junk drawer. Going into this mini project, I was focused on the long-form notes, particularly the Summon Webscryer junk file. Ideally, all of these notes would be written using Markdown, but that’s not essential. My junk drawer file for my Summon Webscryer columns at Knights of the Dinner Table is the mother of all long-form notes, sometimes containing dozens of entries. Long-form notes: Some of the quick-hit notes evolve into something more: first drafts of articles for Nuketown, collections of links for work, etc. Quick-hit notes: Articles, posts, and websites I want to investigate further. I also have smaller shopping lists for family gifts, my RPG campaigns, and my own geeky pursuits. Shopping lists: I maintain a “Never-ending List of Groceries”, which I refer to whenever my wife asks me what I want from the grocery store for the week. To do lists: Day-specific or ongoing, for work, home, and hobbies campaign. So what am I syncing? There are four kinds of things: No, what I needed was a service that let me sync small-ish text files between different computers and mobile devices … and I wasn’t going to pay Evernote for that privilege. I didn’t make use of its myriad bells and whistles, like multimedia syncing and web clipping, because I have other ways of solving those problems. My use of Evernote was pretty basic - most of what I did was sync text notes between my various devices. I don’t begrudge Evernote their decision I was the sort of user who was costing them money without providing anything but another collection of notes to sync. This severely hampered my Home Mac/Work Mac/iPad/iPhone workflow, and led me to try some other services: Google Keep and SimpleNote. Earlier in the summer Evernote limited their free service to only allow syncing between two devices.
