Grab all Pinboard.in bookmarks for your account, create a bookmark file for Launchbar indexing
#!/usr/bin/ruby
=begin
This script is designed to generate a simple html file with _all_ of your Pinboard.in bookmarks
The HTML file can be added to Launchbar's index as a custom bookmark file and you can search
your entire Pinboard.in collection instantly from Launchbar (by title only). It includes
any applied tags as part of the title to aid in searching.
This does no checking for deltas, it just grabs the whole bunch and overwrites the html file
every time. Don't run it too frequently.
Set your username, password and the path/filename to write to below.

If you'd like to use the OS X keychain to prompt for your password (and having writing your password in plain text in here), replace line 15 with something like this:

PB_PASSWORD = `security find-internet-password -s pinboard.in -w | tr -d '\n'`

Forked and wrote a Python version that pulls all bookmarks on the first sync, and does incremental updates afterwards. Also uses the Mac OS X keychain to retrieve your password so it doesn't need to live in a file on your computer in plain text.
