I really don't know if this would help you out in your particular
scenario, but have you thought about using the Emacs server[1]? If, for
example, you start the server from within your "home" Emacs, but then
visit project files from the command line using emacsclient, those
emacsclient instances will see your notes buffer in its current state,
even if it's unsaved, and changes you make there will be visible in your
home Emacs.
I think the server requires Emacs 23, so if you have that at work, it
might be worth looking into.
