[Orgmode] Personal unit testing within org mode?
Personal unit tests [1] are unit tests for life. You give yourself a few clear goals that you must pass daily (or perhaps weekly) and try to reach them. By reviewing and evaluating the goals every morning they are clear in your head and to me they seem like a great way to change behaviour and habits. At least, I thought that in theory a while ago, but never got round to finding a simple way to integrate them into my life. org-habit which came out recently has given me motivation to start work on making org-punit, but before I start work on my first ever bit of real Elisp (which is going to take some learning anyway!), I wanted to quickly let you guys know how I plan to do this. I think tests can be defined as a new keyword sequence: (sequence TEST | PASSED FAILED). All unit tests are set to repeat daily, and have state change logging enabled. So when you move from TEST - PASSED, it logs this and then moves back to TEST. SImple so far right? Well another important part is being able to review how well I've done in the last week, and this is where org-habit comes in. I'm thinking of ripping off that little graph it produces, but the problem I have is where should I put it? Do you think it will work in the agenda, or should I generate some type of custom view? Perhaps something like generating time clock reports? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this! -- Oliver Charles / aCiD2 ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Choosing columns in clock report blocks?
Hello, I'm now using org-mode to clock my work (much more organised than my adhoc approach before!) -- and will be sending the generated reports to my client (we have a very informal relationship -- so these will be adequate). However, I'd like to trim the cruft off them, and display just the Headline and Time columns. Is there anyway to do that? I've had a read of Clocking Work Time in the manual -- but can't see anything relevent, saddly.

Why is it a problem Even if it takes 10 seconds? Ah, I see, you do this in every new shell?? This sounds unnecessary, to say the least. Maybe you have to explain better what exactly your are doing So, the way I currently use remind is run it as remind ~/.remind in my .bash_profile. It reminds me of deadlines and events at any login shell, so that I don't forget about them (and also so they are fast to access). This works well, as it is quick to load and doesn't contribute significantly to the login time at e.g. a Terminal window or SSH connection. The problem comes because I now use org-mode agenda to schedule everything, so I have to enter upcoming events twice -- once in my agenda files, and once in ~/.remind. As such, I thought I could improve my workflow by just printing the emacs agenda instead of running remind -- but this is slow. I also tried with emacsclient, but that didn't improve it any. A work-around would be to use a cronjob to dump the the agenda output to a file, maybe once a minute or even once every hour, and then to cat this file into your shells.

But if I update the commitment (for example, checking I attended all my lectures) then the day % indicator does *not* get updated.
