If you have access by ssh to a computer that is always on, then I
recommend leaving an emacsclient open and using JuiceSSH of
ConnectBot for editing your org files on the go.


Or, as is increasingly feasible in the last couple of years, running
Emacs on your mobile device. On Android, GnuRoot is a quick and easy
solution for running Emacs along with git, ssh, hg, and anything else
you might need for your org-mode workflow, and it doesn't even require
a rooted device (I prefer using Lil'Debi for running Emacs, but it
requires a rooted device and a bit more commitment).

With a real Emacs on my device (recent screenshot [here][1]), I can
just keep my hg-based syncing workflow that I'm used to from multiple
desktops, rather than adding a new and more complex mobile syncing
workflow. I'm not disparaging the MobileOrg-Android app, it looks
great, and works great given the MobileOrg protocol it has to work
with, but it's just not what I want to work with.

1. I am not familiar with taking notes in plain text file. Usually
plain text file means hard to navigate, hard to read, ugly

disaster.


For mobile devices, you can use MobileOrg on iOS or Android. Also, on
most Android tablets, you can use Emacs[1] itself.

For MS Windows, you can install Emacs normally, or, if you're
concerned about using your Org-Mode notes on other peoples' computers,
you may want to try Portable Emacs[2] on a USB flash drive.

You can also, in a pinch, use any other text editor (that is smart
enough to handle cross-platform line endings), though, of course,
you'll lose the folding and highlighting features that make org-mode
files easy to navigate.


2. I don't know how organize all my contents when it become more and
more. With a hand writing notebook, I have physical pages, in
Microsoft Word, I also have virtual pages. In org-mode org file, I
don't. It's like my org file is a endless roll of toilet
paper(forgive me for being rude)! And I think it's the main reason
makes me feels so uncomfortable to handle org file.


You can use top-level headlines for this, and always fold headlines
that you're not looking at. Some other people have also metioned
tags. The agenda and sparse trees are other ways org-mode offers of
looking at subsets of your data.

3. Hard to import pictures, web pages...into org file.(In fact I 
don't

know how).


You can use hyperlinks in org-mode to link to things basically
anywhere (on the web, on your hard drive, etc.), but if you want
something like Evernote, you *probably* want to read the org info node
on Attachments.

Hope this helps!

Look at section 15.9 in the Org manual, Using Org on a tty. There
are alternative keys for all the keys that don't work on a terminal
(on GNU/Linux, there is effectively no difference between a virtual
console and a terminal).

One other thing you might consider would be to run a minimalistic
graphical environment. Instead of using a desktop environment like
Gnome or KDE, use a simple window manager like openbox, or a tiling
window manager like dwm, awesome, or stumpwm (my favorite). If the

there's no reason not to use dwm for your window manager, actually.

I don't have any experience with either of those devices, but I do

I have run Emacs in an SSH session from Android, using the ConnectBot
ssh client, and the Hacker's Keyboard input method. I'd say the user
experience is adequate but not ideal -- it depends on sticky modifier
keys rather than the usual chording. I believe that if you ran (e.g.)
a Debian chroot alongside Android, you could run a local emacs in a
local terminal or under Xvnc.

In my opinion, this will work, but it doesn't really leverage any
tablet-specific features.

Another possible device you might consider is the N850/900/950
series. I'm fairly certain there is a native emacs build for those
that requires no special jiggery-pokery.

Taru Karttunen tar...@taruti.net writes:

 It seems that server-kill-new-buffers in emacs23 works fine for normal
 org-mode files, but it doesn't affect buffers opened with
 org-agenda. Is it possible to fix this?

As you probably realize, this is because those buffers aren't
server-editing buffers.

 The problematic behaviour is as follows:
 1) look at the agenda in emacsclient
 2) close emacsclient (org-mode buffers opened by agenda are not closed)
 3) some hours later the files are edited by git etc
 4) open emacsclient to edit some org-file and when saving in emacs
it complains rightly that the file has been changed on the disk.

 Thus I would need a way to close the buffers opened by org-agenda when
 the emacsclient exits.

You might consider global-auto-revert-mode.  If a buffer does not have
unsaved changes, and emacs notices that it has changed on disk, it
automatically refreshes it to the new version.  If it does have unsaved
changes, then it uses the normal behaviour.  As long as you remember to
save your org-mode buffers when you're done with the agenda, and rely on
your VCS to avoid losing data to overwriting, then it should be pretty
transparent.

I do exactly this for my daily processing and weekly review tasks.  The

that's not really a problem.  I don't need to keep that time data for

 I would like to know how I sync org-mode files in different computer

I think most people will agree that the best way to sync org-mode files
is to keep them under some kind of version control system.  The
advantage that has over something like rsync is that if you happen to
make changes in different places (laptop and home, for example) without
synchronizing in between (because you forget, or because your network
connection is down, or something), then you can merge your edits in some
way more fine-grained than newest change wins.

I started out using Subversion (svn) to keep my org-mode files, and am
now using Mercurial (hg), which has both the advantages of being a dvcs
(every working copy is also a complete repository) and of being easier
to set up.  Many people also like git or bzr.  For just the purposes of
syncing your org-mode files, which one you choose isn't very important.

 Without wishing to start a VCS war, it would be nice if any org

 I use Ubuntu and it's what Canonical use. I am sure there are other

Since emacs already abstracts basic VCS functionality through its vc

I use three vc systems on a regular basis (svn at work, hg for my own

 I personally don't do this enough to want it to be automatic.  In other

 open org FILE2 which also has an open clock it would be wrong to make
 that one active - since the last clocked time you used was in FILE1.

 I agree, there are thorny issues.  I think your way is better,
 especially considering that I'm not _constantly_ restarting Emacs, I
 just want to be able to _deal_ with restarting Emacs.

It might be nice if C-u C-c C-x C-i could find open clocks in the open
file and in the agenda files, and offer them to you as things to clock
into.  Perhaps only if it can't find any recently-clocked tasks in the
normal way, which it can't do right after starting emacs.  It's pretty
rare for me to restart emacs in the middle of the workday, but when I do
(usually because of upgrading emacs or a major package), the
agenda-log-view shuffle /works/ (better than manually searching), but

 You can use any characters if you also tell the syntax table that these are

These characters may be helpful:

How helpful they are probably depends on your font; they look good but

  (  )
  (* Lines starting with `:' are also typeset in fixed-width )
  ( font.  `C-c :' Toggle fixed-width for entry (QUOTE) or   )
  ( region, see below.   )
  (  )
  (* Finally, text between #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE quoted text   )
  (#+END_EXAMPLE will also be exported in this way.  )

That's not really satisfactory for me, because most of the time when I
want to export a blockquote, it's not a code sample, but a block quote
from an article or such.  I've ended up using

@blockquote
quoted text
@/blockquote

since I'm generally exporting HTML for blog usage.  That's not perfectly
satisfactory, either (since I /could/ want to export to something else),

 At the moment I have to a lot of todos in my agenda which I cannot

 right moment.

What I do is mark tasks that can't be done yet as either NEEDSPREREQ

possibility I'll get to them before my next weekly review.  I only
look at NEXTACTION tasks when I'm choosing a task to do, and when I
complete a task, I look at its project to see if any NEEDSPREREQ tasks
can now be done.  If so, I change those to NEXTACTION.

Yes, it would be possible to annotate these with a hook of some kind
so that they are changed from NEEDSPREREQ to NEXTACTION
automatically.  But my feeling is that doing that would frontload the
planning process too much, take just as much time/attention, and
overall interfere with getting things done.

I agree.  If you're using a GTD-like methodology, all you really need

generating cross-cutting lists of things like project vs. context).
If you are using a day-planner methodology, all you really need is to
be able to maintain dated lists with attached statuses.  Org-mode is
really good for both of these things.

Once you get into enterprise (read as over-bureaucratized) project
planning, then you really need software designed for the bureaucratic
requirements of your organization, or for your organziation's
bureaucracy to be built around something like MS-Project.  I don't
think it's a good idea for org-mode to try to support this type of
work.  Gnome Planner might be a workable tool for this kind of job.

2007-09-13 Thread Jason F. McBrayer
Carsten Dominik [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 In fact, maybe the whole clocking stuff needs an overhaul at some
 point, but right now I don't have time to do it.  I not sure in what
 direction to take this.  Maybe create a timeclock - compatible list
 from scanning the agenda buffers?  I still think that collecting the
 CLOCK entries in the outline does make a lot of sense.  The clock
 table was a quick hack I once did, but apparently not really though
 through very well.

I can't volunteer to write anything at this point, but I do have some
comments.

I think accumulating CLOCK entries in the outline is The Right Thing.
It keeps the times with the tasks, and so forth, and clocking in and out
of tasks is really convenient.  What we're lacking right now are
flexible-enough ways of dealing with the information those entries
represent.  Right now, the clock table does everything I really need to
do, but not everything I would like to be able to do.

Here are some things that any future org-clock.el or similar ought to
be able to handle:

1. Including CLOCK entries from all org-agenda-files in its summaries
2. Including CLOCK entries from archive files associated with files used
   to construct its summaries.  Right now I can't archive completed
   projects because of the need to include them and their tasks in
   monthly reports, for example.
3. Conversely, limiting summaries to only a subtree (having a clock
   table per project, for example).  I don't need this right now, but
   someone consulting or freelancing for several clients probably would.

Maybe someone will get inspired by this :)

Perhaps not the most elegant solution, since if you're using remember by

I've got quite a bit of other code to make emacsclient maximally
desktop-environment-friendly --- emacsclient always opening in new
frames, closing frames killing the associated buffer,
server-done closing the frame, a script to either start emacs or use
emacsclient as needed, running emacs with the initial frame unmapped,
letting you delete all visible frames, and a .desktop file that wraps
the aforementioned script.  One of these days I should package it all

 This is a serious question. I have no success at all (it is even worse

I use both remember and directly editing my main org-mode file.  Things
from remember only go into my Inbox.org, which I manually process into
my Projects.org.

 So what is the way you do ? The same apply for your diary, do you
 solely use org-mode or do you also happen to use the calendar/diary ?

I don't use diary-mode.  I did use it for recurring appointments and
such, but org supports those natively now.

 Optionnal question: does anybody successfully use org-mode and GTD ?

Yes, mostly.  I'm very successful with it at work; not so much at home,
but that is a motivational problem, not an organizational one, and GTD
is not a motivational system.

I'm working on a detailed whitepaper on my org-mode/GTD usage, but it's

 I'd like to find out how different people use priorities (#A, #B, ...)

 if you are not careful, then all your items will quickly become high
 priority, which defeats the whole point.

I don't really use priorities at all, since I'm using org-mode to do
GTD.  If something has to be done today, then that's a deadline, not a
priority.  If I don't need or want to get something done /in the next
week/, it probably shouldn't be crowding up my todo-lists at all, and
making it harder for me to find things I should be doing; it should be
on my someday/maybe list.

One possible way of approaching it might be with nnir (see

Indeed, that is what I do, currently, or make the clockline by hand

this feature to be added.

 Sorry, that was pretty vague. What I meant was, if you have a clock

 the :block lastweek part doesn't really fit with clock entries like

 ** some entry
 CLOCK: = 2:00

 since there isn't any date info in the clock entry. It appears that
 these entries are included in the clock table no matter what the
 setting of :block or :tstart, :tend. This works OK for me. I can
 limit the table to dateless clock entries by setting :tstart to a
 date in the future, for example.

I'd like to be able to assign dates to these timestamp-less clock
entries.  Just to have a way of saying I worked on this for two hours
on Tuesday without having to clock in and out specific times.  Useful
for entering things retroactively, for example, or putting in full-day

It would be pretty simple to write something similar in elisp -- all

interpolate selected bits of it into a LaTeX skeleton.  Of course, if
you were doing this in elisp, you wouldn't want to go all the way to
CSV and back; you'd want to basically copy most of

[Orgmode] Updated agenda printer script

2007-06-03 Thread Jason F. McBrayer
And, as promised, here's the updated version of the agenda printer
script.  This version has only bugfixes and compatibility fixes.
There are some more fundamental changes (listed in the TODOs in the
source comments) that need to be made, but I'm waiting on a round tuit
for them.  I hope people find this useful, and that it is more usable
for them than the previous version.

Changes:
  1. Uses os.popen3 rather than the subprocess module; as a result, it
 should work with python versions earlier than 2.4.
  2. Better quoting for characters in headlines that could cause
 problems in the LaTeX output.

[Orgmode] Small bug in timestamp editing

2007-05-30 Thread Jason F. McBrayer
There's a bug in editing inactive timestamps when they are a part of a
CLOCK line (org 4.75 on cvs emacs).

E.g.:
* test
  CLOCK: [2007-05-30 Wed 13:30]--[2007-05-30 Wed 13:32] =  0:02

Try editing the /second/ timestamp with org-shiftup or similar.  It
will result in:

* test
  CLOCK: [2007-05-30 Wed 13:30]--[2007-05-30 Wed]  0:02 = -14:30

This does not appear to happen with timestamps in other contexts.

 Would htmlize be enough to publish this, or do people have more fancy
 ideas about how this should work?

I'm a bit of mixed minds on this topic.

Unrealistic wishful thinking that I should implement my damn-self:

Tag searches are always contexts for me.  If I want to export the
results of a tag search, it's probably because I want to print a
context that is not @Computer and put it in my planner.  The
output ought to be something that eventually yields a PDF file
that looks like a DIY Planner (http://www.diyplanner.com/) context
page.

Likewise, daily/weekly agenda views ought to yield DIY Planner-ish
calendar pages.

This is a totally non-serious proposal, because I expect anyone to
have completely different preferences for from me, and it's not
worth anyone else's time to implement exactly what I want :)

 Totally realistic, requires little work for anyone:

Provide a utility function for calling htmlize on the agenda
buffer and saving the results; doesn't need to be more integrated
than that.  You can then generate somewhat naff PDFs which are at
least the right paper size and so forth by printing from a web
browser.

Alternative idea:

Many people seem to be using scripts (orgna.pl, for example) to do
this kind of thing, which seems to be perfectly reasonable.  Maybe
a good idea would be to make it easier for scripts by letting
org-mode handle the logic of selecting things, then just feeding
the data to the script in a sensible format?

org-batch-agenda /very nearly/ does this.  I think it could be
improved as an adjunct to external script-writing by providing two
things:

1. An unambiguously parseable output format with some semantic
   content.  An XML microformat would do dandy for this, but
   something like adequately-escaped comma-separated text with
   defined columns for category, status, title, and tags would
   also do well enough.

2. Support for arbitrary tag/keyword searches, though continued
   support for cmd-keys from org-agenda-custom-commands would
   still be conveient.

Anyone else's thoughts?

C-c C-x C-w will cut a subtree, which you can paste with C-c C-x C-y,
and it will automatically adapt the header levels.  You can navigate
to where you want to insert it with C-c C-j, which works a lot like
selecting your place with org-remember.

 I think this means being able to publish static HTML from the various

 HTML agenda.

Even taking the fancy publishing and timer stuff out of it, it would
be actually quite useful to be able just to export to html (or
whatever other target).   For example, to produce printed context
lists for away-from-the-computer contexts.

I can forsee it being difficult for people to agree on what HTML
output would be a suitable representation of an org agenda buffer,

On my system, org-mode loses its colors and fontifications when most
color themes are applied (org headlines etc. are shown in the default
face).  This happens for more themes if color-theme-is-cumulative is
nil.  After looking at it, I do not think this is a problem with
color-theme.el, but with particular themes.  Most light-background

I've figured out where the problem was, and I'm posting it here for
reference purposes.  I had color-theme-is-cumulative set to nil, and I
suspect that was causing color themes to throw away the org-mode faces.
Setting that to t, most color themes work.  Also, some color themes are
less cooperative than others, so it appears to be a problem with those
themes rather than with org-mode, or with the color-theme package.

This is a minor concern, but I was reminded of it because of the
posting asking about setting fonts for DONE items.

Does anyone else have any problem using color themes defined with
color-theme.el along with org-mode buffers?  Whenever I apply a color
theme, org-mode buffers lose all of their faces, and cannot be
convinced to get them back without restarting emacs.  A peculiarity of
my setup, or something other people are seeing too?

I'd guess it would be better for you to do it.  I had a look at what

in the file than I thought it would, and I don't feel confident that
I'd get it right.

 If you send me a complex patch, we need to get your papers with the
 FSF first, or I cannot install the fixes into Emacs.  I already have
 the papers from David and Piotr, so if you plan to contribute code
 in the future, maybe we should go ahead and do this.

Why don't we wait until I actually contribute something useful ;)

 There is one difference.  When everything is in one line, I'd expect
 C-c C-t to reach these states.  When they are in different lines,
 you will need C-S-right to get to them.  Both ways have their
 advantages.  I guess for a special state like CANCELED, a separate
 sequence would be good, but I can imagine cases where one would
 like different ways of saying an entry is done.

I'm not sure what would be better.  But this reminds me that we need a
tty compatibility binding for org-shiftcontrolright and
org-shiftcontrolleft.

[Orgmode] Todo-list agendas with multiple

2007-03-21 Thread Jason F. McBrayer
The progress on multiple TODO sequences has reminded me of a small
thing that bugs me with TODO keyword search agendas.  It's not
possible to have a TODO keyword search agenda that matches multiple
keywords (such as SOMEDAY|MAYBE).  You can include multiple TODO
keywords in a tag search agenda, but that doesn't behave quite the
same.  In particular, it will include scheduled headlines.  I wonder
if this is straightforward to fix, or too deeply ingrained in the
design of the TODO list agenda?

A workaround is to use a block agenda that includes both TODO keyword
searches.

  Not so bad, maybe:
 
  #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE
  #+SEQ_TODO: RESOLVED
  #+SEQ_TODO: CANCELLED

This is, in fact, more or less what I'm doing.  Actually I have one
sequence for actions, one for projects, and one for unusual states (like
CANCELLED);  I'm finding more uses for it as time goes on.   So the
extra flexibility is more than I actually need, but not so much that I
can't see any use for it.

I would like to see this settable in lisp, though, since I want to use
my TODO keywords all across my GTD system rather than different ones in
different files.  I can probably try to put together a patch to do this
tomorrow, just so that I'm not kibitzing without offering code.

 Or maybe this should actually be like this:?
 
 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO | DONE RESOLVED CANCELLED

I don't think an extra syntax would be too worthwhile.  If you're
already setting TODO keywords in the file itself, three lines vs. one
line is not a big deal.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Beginning of headline, after *

Scott Jaderholm [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
 Good idea, one problem with this though is that for people using
 screen you have to type C-a a C-a a. Kind of a long keystroke. Then
 again, judging from all the shift keystrokes in org-mode, console
 functionality doesn't appear to be a very high priority.

 I would think though that it would annoy people who are used to C-a
 going to the beginning of the line.

The C-a binding in screen is evil in any case :P

The suggested behaviour (C-a takes you to after the *s) is consistent
with all of the comint-based modes, as well as many others, so it
shouldn't be too surprising to anyone.

If someone really, really wants C-a to always go to the beginning of
the line, then they can set inhibit-field-text-motion to t (works for
shell-mode, anyway).

 For scheduled events (org-schedule function), how do I set the appointment

Instead of typing C-c C-z to insert a scheduled item, type C-u C-c C-z,
and it will include a time stamp instead of just a date stamp.  The time
will be the current time, so you'll have to edit it.  Hope this helps.

[Orgmode] Buglet with scheduled in TODO lists

2007-02-21 Thread Jason F. McBrayer
I have org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled set to t.  One behaviour I have
noticed is that scheduled TODO items will still show up in TODO-type
agenda buffers if there is something in between the headline and the
SCHEDULED line.  This can happen very easily if one is using time
tracking.

Example:

 NEXTACTION Weekly Review REPEAT(+1w)
 CLOCK: [2007-02-20 Tue 08:30]--[2007-02-20 Tue 08:50] =  0:20
 CLOCK: [2007-02-13 Tue 08:30]--[2007-02-13 Tue 09:03] =  0:33
 CLOCK: [2007-02-05 Mon 13:30]--[2007-02-05 Mon 14:29] =  0:59
 SCHEDULED: 2007-02-26 Mon 08:30 

Weekly review appears in my list of Next Actions, and I expect that it
shouldn't.  If I move the SCHEDULED line to right below the headline, it
doesn't appear in my list, which I believe is the correct behaviour.

Excellent.  For a current project I've needed a way to export org tables

That would be quite handy, especially used with pop-up-frames.  You
could have a more task-oriented rather than file-oriented view of your
collection of org files this way.

I vote +1 on this.  I'm using org-timestamp.el, and it's basically
adequate to my needs, but a more-integrated solution would help, too
(especially in terms of grouping related tasks).  Totalling time usage
per-task and per-subtree would be really useful.  Per-file, maybe not
so much --- I keep everything in one org file, not one-per-client.

That's probably the best way to do it.  Users should probably be
responsible for scheduling things on the correct day --- either 23:59
one day or 0:00 the next.
