In the past couple of

In the past couple of days two daring soles have logged into www.my-list.com. Their effort is very much appreciated. From the system logs it appears they had no problems. That's encouraging. The video portion of http://www.my-list.com is almost done. There are only four functional items to code.

Successfully downloaded a Notes Soup from the MessagePad 2100. It was easy to do using NewtSync. The download is an XML file of everything in Notes. In reviewing this file it looks to be organized such that each entry has two elements. The one defines its location and the second contains the actual text. Since the development tools have been installed, double clicking the file opens it in the Property List Editor. This gives a clear view of the Soup and the ability to copy and paste entries into other applications. However, it would be much more elegant to have an application which could read and display the contents of the soup in the same format as on the Newton. It should also have the capability of exporting a text file of data in the same format. So here is a new project. The intention is to write it as an OS X Cocoa application. Will start simple and expand it as needs are identified. NewtSync provides Developer Documents that will really be helpful in this effort.
