First, simply love the info and tone of the article. The "let's be honest" line just cracked me up.

Second, I am about one of the least hardcopy-humans I know. I lose everything. Even sizable checks made out to me. It is so bad that I've been using http://www.PayTrust.com for my bills for years. All important mail goes there. I can tell you how much my water bill was in June of 2007 if you wanted to know.

Finally, I'm anxious to use your script but I really want a 2-way script. It's fine if it just gives up on a conflict, but I'd like to be able to modify notes on my computer using whatever editor I choose (OK, Emacs) and then have them pop up in EverNote.

Is there any chance you've written two-way sync tool in the year or so since you published this? I don't really want XML files but I feel comfortable scripting that work on my own but don't want to dance with the EverNote API.

Thanks!

PS: Sorry about the name thing. I make a mention of my personal finance management and just don't want that to be too easily snagged by Google and used against me when I'm 80.

No, sorry Name Withheld. The APIs support two-way syncing, I believe, but I'm content to use the existing clients or web to do updates. That said, if you're comfortable with a little scripting, I don't think it would be too hard to do what you want.

Regarding the name thing, well, you just barely squeaked under my spam threshold. If that comment was constructed to post a link to the bill paying site, congratulations, you got me :-)

I am trying to setup your backup script on my Ubuntu machine but I can't find what python package provides thrift.protocol.TBinaryProtocol Any thoughts?

I think those came with the Python Evernote API bindings.
