[Orgmode] org-reqall Was: iPhone ---- org-mode
Finally got round to uploading this to git hub. The url is http://github.com/geekinthesticks/org-reqall/tree/master Some new things: guids are now stored in a dotfile, so should persist if you refile tasks. Items from the rss feed can now be stored in different org files according to their rss Category (eg. Task, Note, etc). I plan to write a script for dial2do.com, which offers a similar, but more limited service. For me the important part is the ability to leave voice messages and get them transcribed into something that I can automagically import into org. When I am not hacking I have a side job as a farmer. I spend a part of my day outside away from the computer. So, getting stuff from speech to text directly is very attractive.

I also have been hacking on Ian's python script - I hope you don't mind! I changed it to support Ta-da lists (tadalist.com) rather than reqall. In my opinion, ta-da list is a much simpler and has a nice clean interface. It has the disadvantage that it doesn't have an accompanying iPhone/Touch app that works offline, although it does have a beautiful ipod-optimized web interface. And it doesn't support bling such as voice memos, but then reqall doesn't support voice memos on the Touch either, even if you have an external mic :( Anyway, I am attaching it (sync-tadalist.py) in case anyone finds it useful. In particular, it has a few changes that Ian might want to fold back into his version. For instance, it solves the private URL problem by reading it from an external dot file. Also, the original was repeatedly parsing the org file inside the loop over feed entries. This is unnecessary, so I have moved it outside. I guess that ideally we want a webservice that 1. Allows adding tasks etc via a mobile device, preferably with offline capabilities and syncing 2. Exports RSS feeds of tasks so that org-mode can grab them 3. Exports an API that would let org-mode write information back to the service, e.g., marking a task as done Does anyone know of a service that supports all 3? I don't know any, but the number of apps is always growing.

Re: [Orgmode] bug in simple dependencies handling (?)
Hi Daniel, yes, this could be seen as a bug. However, the implementation does not work by scanning the entire buffer and marking tasks that should be blocked. Rather, it goes to each task and then scans around to see locally what the dependencies are. In this case it looks only at the parent, not at the grand parent. I don't expect to change this because it would make the mechanism a lot more complex and slower. However, the todo dependencies are simple hook functions, and an interested programmer could relatively easily extend them, I believe. - Carsten On Mar 24, 2009, at 8:13 PM, Daniel Hochheimer wrote: Hello, first of all, please excuse my poorly english.

A couple of sorting-related issues, under a different subject header so as not to get confused with the issues in the previous one. 1. It looks like priority means both priority /letter/ and priority /as calculated/. I got confused by this at first when I wanted to sort using priority-down to mean sorting by letter. Is there a way to sort by priority-letter-down in the agenda? This might create an order that is more stable over time, thus allowing you to know where to look for an item. 2. Is it possible to allow a user-definable sorting strategy member for the agenda? i.e. user-definable-down. -- Myalgic encephalomyelitis denialism is causing death (decades early; Jason et al. 2006) and severe suffering (worse than nearly all other diseases studied; e.g. Schweitzer et al. 1995) and grossly corrupting science. http://www.meactionuk.org.uk/What_Is_ME_What_Is_CFS.htm ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

But write shopping list is also an my agenda list (although it shouldn't: I can't write a shopping list if I don't know how many people will come to my party). best regards, Daniel - Carsten On Mar 24, 2009, at 8:13 PM, Daniel Hochheimer wrote: Hello, first of all, please excuse my poorly english. It seems there is a bug in the handling of simple dependencies. I think an example tree is the best solution, to show you the bug: * Projects #+CATEGORY: Projects *** TODO foo bar project :PROPERTIES: :ORDERED: t :END: * TODO foo subproject:FooSubproject: *** TODO Task 1 * TODO bar subproject:BarSubproject: *** TODO Task 1 This is in my .emacs file: (setq org-enforce-todo-dependencies t) (setq org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks 'invisible) (setq org-odd-levels-only t) the expected global todo agenda view imho is: Projects:Task 1 :FooSubproject: but actual it is unfortunately: Projects:Task 1 :FooSubproject: Projects:Task 1 :BarSubproject: Imho Task 1 from bar subproject should not be visible, because bar subproject is blocked because of the ORDERED property (therefore it's childs should be blocked, too) Is it easy / possible to fix this bug? My whole GTD system is heavily based on such project / subproject-Constructs. But with this bug my global todo agenda view is unfortunately polluted a little bit with tasks from projects that shouldn't be active.

I started using emacs only because of the great abilities of org-mode. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Handling org-file agenda dependenncies?
I have projects with non-text files. Many of them having sub-,subsub-projects etc. (nested) Therefore I made directories for them using the project name. /project name/subproject name/etc Each having it's own (sub-)project name.org file in it. My question: How can I add|remove a whole project from the agenda? e.g. If I remove project1.org file from the agenda... /project1/subprojectX.org would still be in there! Or is there a way to assign and then set a group of org.files to inactive(=remove from agenda)? Any other suggestions|methods for solving this problem? ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
