I have a dual boot system with Windows 7/Ubuntu 11.04. Is there any way I can access my notes from Windows, even though they were created in Ubuntu?

I sync my notes against Ubuntu One, so the notes are accessible in the cloud as well as on my computer. Read access is priority one, but if there is a possibility to add/edit notes from Windows as well, that'd be great.

@nitstorm: Thanks, but I'd like to find a solution where I can access my Tomboy notes without having to do anything in Ubuntu first. If I'm in Windows and realize I need something from a note, I don't want to have restart the computer, export the note(s), restart again and import them - they should just be readily available. – Tomas Lycken Jun 5 '11 at 15:19
You can make it run the script as a cron job so that it runs at a particular time everyday or every few hours. So that it stays updated regularly. – nitstorm Jun 5 '11 at 15:59
@nitstorm: Doesn't that still require Ubuntu to be running? – Tomas Lycken Jun 5 '11 at 17:55

Do you use Ubuntu One? You can easily view and edit your notes on the web using Ubuntu One dashboard. – Oxwivi Jun 6 '11 at 7:19

First, install Tomboy notes in Windows ( http://projects.gnome.org/tomboy/download.html ).

Then use your U1 to sync the contents of .local/share/tomboy with the equivalent folder created by the Tomboy app under Windows.
