Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Yojimbo...

Finally, I would love to be able to export portions of my Yojimbo 
content (ie: some stored tutorials or web pages) for use in smaller 
functions like a Wiki.   I'm not clear whether that's even possible.



I'm sure that a fancy applescript could wrangle this for you.
I know very little about AppleScript - being new to the Mac as well.  
But I wonder if there are any other users lurking on here that may have 
something.




One minor annoyance I find with web page import is the inability to
edit out content like annoying ads.  Yojimbo will store the object,
code, etc, and when you view it, you get a nice flashy ad (I wonder if
the code is being executed to pull in new content into that space, too).

I use Firefox along with adblock, but this has no effect on the 
Archive in Yojimbo script.  I wonder if anyone has a solution to that.




Instead of saving a web page, what if you printed to PDF from your 
adblocked browser?


I personally use the print this article exporting a PDF directly 
into Yojimbo for similar purposes.


I tried this out - it works, removes the blocked items (ads, etc) but is 
in low resolution for some reason - perhaps that's an internal PDF setting.




Thanks,

Forrest

Forrest Aldrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] sez:

A curious side note here is privacy.  I wrote to Apple asking them if,
in any way, they index or access our personal data and share those
results with any other process.  They never responded (I tried a couple
of times).


Afraid I can't offer any special insight, though I would expect this to be
covered by the .Mac terms of service and/or Apple's privacy policy.


So I could selectively encrypt my data within Yojimbo and have it
protected that way.

That's correct; any items you encrypt will be protected in transit and
while stored on the .Mac servers (as well as on your Mac(s)).


For that matter, how complex (or simple) is the encryption in Yojimbo
(including any backdoors). ;-)

Yojimbo uses AES-256, which is a strong, system-provided encryption
mechanism, to protect item content, and there are no backdoors nor reset
mechanisms.

So, if your dog eats the PostIt that has your Yojimbo password, we're sorry
but we won't be able to help... :-)

2008-05-29 Thread Patrick Woolsey
Forrest Aldrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] sez:

I'm interested in replicating my Yojimbo database so I can use it
elsewhere (ie: at work).  I'm aware that it has .mac capability, but I
wonder if that's simply a sync of files to the iDisk (copying), and how
would you resolve differences if, say, you do writes in one location and
not the other?

Depending on how that works, I wonder if it would be possible to bypass
.mac dependency and set up something like rsync or unison to replicate
via SSH to an external location.

It is not; please see:
