EvernoteI am a massive fan of evernote and I use this application each and every single day. One of the main uses is I have a notebook which I use as a logbook at my main sysadmin job. I use this to log commands on the different servers, make note of scripts tasks throughout the day etc. I also document errors that occur and attach the resolutions also.
Each day I load Evernote, go into the notebook, create a new note as the date, add the tags etc then sync the application. To be honest it's a bit of a bore to do this every day. Recently I have started to have a look into Applescript to see if I can automate most of the manual tasks I need to do on my Mac.
Thankfully this is a very easy thing to do, below you can see my very basic applescript. It loads Evernote and creates the note for me. The beauty of this is I can schedule this script in iCal, so each day before I wake up it loads Evernote, creates my note, syncs the application then closes down again. So now when I get into work and load Evernote the notes all ready for me to use.
Below is the code
