Things Export 1.0

=================

Written by **Loren Segal** in 2008. Licensed under MIT license.

SYNOPSIS

--------

Exports your **Things.app** todo items to a simple webpage using `scp`. It

is recommended that you add your public key to your remote SSH server for

this to work smoothly.

INSTALL

-------

`things-export` requires the environment variable `THINGS_REMOTE_PATH` to be

set to the public www directory that the page will be copied to. You can set

this manually per session or in your `~/.profile` file with:

    export [email protected]:/var/www/htdocs/todo/

    

*Note the username and host that need to be changed.*

You can optionally specify the `THINGS_AUTHOR` environment variable which will

put your name in the title, ex. "Loren Segal's ToDo List". Defaults to "My ToDo List".

Finally, type `ruby things-export.rb --install` after configuring your environment 

variables to copy over the necessary support files to the remote server. This will

also export your database for the first time. After the support files are copied,

you no longer need to run the script with `--install`.

RUNNING

-------

After things-export is installed on the remote server, simply use `ruby things-export.rb`

to update the remote just the index file. If there is nothing to update, no connection will

be made. You can force an update with -f. Ideally, you can run this script from a cron-job 

to update your Things todo list every now and then.
