[tomboy-list] Evernote Addin

Tue Jan 19 14:50:37 PST 2010

Hi Jared, et al.,

Thanks for the debugging report. It's _very_ useful to have this kind
of feedback. I'm going to take the debugging off the list just so it
doesn't get too spammed, but I'll report back to everyone if there is
more significant progress.

In the meantime, please feel free to send me any diagnostic reports
directly at tomboy at dvjohnston.com

Best,
Doug
