Quite a while ago now, my Yojimbo syncing via MobileMe packed up and
went home (and did not leave a forwarding address).

This happened when my database size was somewhere north of 200
megabytes. I think it was around the 240 megabyte marker that it
truly stopped even trying.

I wasn't bothering to address the matter because at that point my
frustration with the lack of a Yojimbo app for iPhone was reaching new
levels.

So I figured I'd move to evernote and eventually migrate off of
Yojimbo. But I really don't like the way evernote does web archives
(it's what you would call a vague approximation of a web page). Plus
there's the issue of a lack of encryption for sensitive records.

And then came the recent discussion in this venue about the syncing
issue and several people said "well why haven't you tried version 2."
Well, see all the answers above -- I thought I was moving off of
Yojimbo.

However, I am now thinking my path for the future will include a
combination of Yojimbo and 1Password. YJ will be for stuff that I
don't need on the run and 1P will be for those critical chunks of info
that I do need when my laptop is not by my side.

With these things in mind, I installed YJ 2.1 on my primary desktop
system running 10.5.8 and laptop with 10.6.2. And then I crossed my
fingers, as I added YJ back to the MobileMe syncing checklist.

Lo and behold, my Yojimbo world was again unified. After stepping
through a few syncing conflicts -- which are to be expected with the
time that passed -- I have experienced no hiccups. Three or four days
have since come and gone and each day has brought continued syncing
joy.

So I will be purchasing the YJ2 license upgrade and thinking deeply
about my needs for portable data.
