[Orgmode] Unable to clock in on task
I updated to 6.32 this morning and am now unable to clock in on tasks. At first, there was an issue with an org file having a dangling clock- in. When I attempted to log in to a task, it alerted me to the dangling task. No matter how I answered (cancel, etc), Emacs crashed. I then fixed the dangling clock in question and tried again. Now, emacs crashed immediately without displaying a menu. I am guessing that the issue is still related to a dangling clock-in, but cannot be sure. Is there a way to disable the clock-checking feature? I'm on emacs 23 cocoa on Snow Leopard.

[Orgmode] Problems using org-babel
I enabled org-babel according to the instructions on worg, but am running into a number of issues which I am guessing are a function of my configuration. For example, enabling org-babel completely breaks remember mode, giving me a "wrong ..." argument (sorry - don't have it in front of me) error. Adding a python source block still allows exporting, but adding a ruby block causes a "wrong..." error as well when I try to export. I guess the real question is how do I debug this? I am relatively new to emacs, and not familiar really with how to track some of these issues down.

Re: [Orgmode] RSI
Emacs can definitely lead to RSI - Richard Stallman, the creator, developed it. I am quite prone to RSI, which led me to VIM due to its modal operation (very few modifier key combos). I used VIM for quite a while and did not have any issues, but org-mode pulled me to emacs. I now use a kinesis keyboard and have no RSI issues. The keyboard combined with the idea expressed below that you use different hands when pressing control key combinations has really helped. The Kinesis puts all the control keys (control, meta, command) on your thumbs. Its expensive, but worth every penny to me at least. Check them out at http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/ Keith On Sep 1, 2009, at 1:11 PM, Samuel Wales wrote: Orgers, Repetitive strain injury is real and important. One thing that you can do is to ensure that you have a keyboard that has modifier keys on both sides. You should pound a new habit into your cerebellum: use two hands. For example, c-c c-o should look like this: r hand presses ctrl l hand presses c let go l hand presses ctrl r hand presses o let go This is obviously inefficient, but it is the correct thing. Ideally, the most important c-c and c-x operations would be on the lhs. That way, you can hold down ctrl and press the two keys. Many (maybe even most) will find this idea strange. But I urge all of you to try it for a few months. On 2009-09-01, PT wrote: Matt Lundin imapmail.org> writes: An aside: Swapping caps-lock and control makes C-c a very convenient key combination. If things come that one can also configure e.g. the right control key as a special prefix key which makes such combinations even more convenient, because unlike "C-c a" you can press "Rctrl a" with two hands. In case of right handed people the right control key is usually unused, so it's practical to use it for something else than it's original purpose. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Daily timeline
I've looked through the manual and mailing list, and not found exactly what I was looking for - pardon me if its there and I missed it.

Not in this format necessarily, but something like 8:00-9:00 Project 1 Task 1 9:00-9:43 Project 2 Task 3 9:43-10:30 Project 1 Task 1 /*picked back up on this task...*/ etc Again, the format is not important - its really just a time-ordered clock-time list of activities for a day that I'm after (rather than a summary).
