Sync some Google Bookmarks with Safari

I like having machine spefiic bookmarks on each machine I work at (home, work, etc.), but also like having a common set available to each machine. I store my shared bookmarks in Google Bookmarks. I wrote an Automator workflow to download my Google Bookmarks and add them to the Safari bookmarks bar (but leave alone the bookmarks I already have there.) Safari automatically notices when its bookmarks file has been edited and automatically updates itself.

NOTES:

It's available as a disk image [16KB download] on my site.

[robg adds: I created a .zip version (8KB) of the workflow on the macosxhints server, in case the original ever vanishes (but that should be your first choice, in case the code ever changes. I haven't tested this, but you can open the workflow and look at the code yourself -- it includes a perl script that does most of the hard work.]
