Exporting Notes from Facebook

I've put a number of Notes on Facebook that I'd like to preserve, but I've been unable to find any good options for exporting these from Facebook so that I can save them locally (or put them somewhere else). SocialSafe (http://ping.fm/56Za8) will save some Facebook data, but at the moment has no support for Notes...

...so, I wrote something myself. It exports all of your Facebook notes as an Atom feed. You can find the code at http://ping.fm/uq954 It's not pretty, it will probably fail in strange and inexplicable ways, and it's largely unsuitable for anyone not already a Python developer. But it works for me, and I figured it might be useful for someone else, too.
