Rudimentary CLI to write and organize text.

I've got a ways to go in terms of features and documentation. Pull requests are
neat.

## Install

Downloading the repo and firing off `python setup.py install` does the trick.

## Configuration

Reads configuration from whichever file to which environment variable `SNOTE`
points.

Each notebook requires a valid path, where notes will be saved. Global settings
apply to all notebooks, and may be overwritten at a notebook level.

[global]
editor=vim
ext=md
datefmt=%Y-%m-%d
timefmt=%H:%M:%S
timestamp=[{time}]
template=/path/to/template/file
default_title='no title'

[my-notebook]
path=/path/to/directory

[another]
path=/path/to/another/directory
editor=nano
ext=rst

## Usage

usage: snote [-h] [-t] [-f FILENAME]
notebook {update,u,new,n,list,l,ls,search,s} ...

optional arguments:

-f FILENAME, --filename FILENAME

new (n) create new note
list (l, ls) list note titles in notebook

## Motivaton

I wrote this for myself as a way to catalog my stream of consciousness, and an
exercise in packaging.
