[Orgmode] Time Stamps?
I've been using a lot of the great info at this site ( http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html) , and I have some questions: When using timestamps, I like the time in there too. And, I like to stamp every entry, so my status looks nice. But, I'm having a couple of problems: 1. Can I make all timestamps put the time? In other words, can I make C-c ! always do the same thing as C-u C-c ! 2. Where should I put the timestamp? Where do you guys think it looks best? Before the text? After? Still getting a feel for things. 3. Clocking. That site does a lot of it, and I mostly like it. But, I'm not sure how I should clock in in the AM. Almost always, I try to enter something quickly with remember, and I haven't started a clock yet. I'm considering taking out the timing stuff now . . . any pointers?

In other words, can I make C-c ! always do the same thing as C-u C-c ! I use a key binding for this: f9-t which creates a timestamp like this at point. [2010-05-03 Mon 14:52] The binding for that is documented at http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#sec-15_21 Duh. Sorry. I thought there would be a way to do it with just a command, and, at first glance, didn't grok what you were doing with the func. Consider it stolen. I'm going to re-map something to it. I don't like using Function keys, because when I am using my macbook w/o a keyboard, I have to hit a Fn button to get those. But, I'll map it to something. I do like your f9 map, so, maybe I'll use M-9 or something like that. 2. Where should I put the timestamp? Where do you guys think it looks best? Before the text? After? Still getting a feel for things. Anywhere in the body of the text works fine for me. My remember templates put the timestamp after the clock drawer * TODO blah :CLOCK:... [2010-05-03 Mon 14:59] [[link to stuff]] but anywhere will work - it's just text. Right. I understand where it gets put. But, now I want to add some notes. Where would you put it? (And, I know I'm just asking your opinion, because it is all just text -- I just really like your setup, so I'm using it as my starting point. So, for example, here's an entry I took today with a call, refiled it, then re-edited it. Names have been changed to protect the guilty some_company.org: - * Title for issue customer is having ** WAITING Phone %:name - %:Some Company - :PHONE:WAITING: - State WAITINGfrom[2010-05-03 Mon 11:19] \\ Waiting on data from Customer :CLOCK: :END: Got a call from Customer this am. He is having problems blah blah. Will call him back in 10-15 Contact Info: 800-555- [2010-05-03 Mon] ** Talked to Customer again. [2010-05-03 Mon 11:19] Conclusion: Probable Diagnosis here. Customer is going to reboot and send me more data. *** System Information Some System 1 Gb Data File 60 Threads Other System Data Performance 9-20 Mb/Sec Configuration Raid 0 over 4 drives 16 Gb RAM Blah Blah Symptoms computer hangs. windows Explorer hangs trying to look at filesystem. - So, this was the result of two calls, captured with remember-phone, then re-filed into the some_company.org file. I put the datestamps up top, but I'm not sure if I like them there. What do you think of that setup? 3. Clocking. That site does a lot of it, and I mostly like it. But, I'm not sure how I should clock in in the AM. Almost always, I try to enter something quickly with remember, and I haven't started a clock yet. I'm considering taking out the timing stuff now . . . any pointers? The first thing I do when I clock-in in the morning is hit either f9-o or f9-m to clock in my organization or read mail task (depending on which one I start first). From there remember tasks interrupt the clock temporarily and clocking continues on whatever I work on until I manually clock out. I will re-read the clocking portion . . I really like stamping EVERYTHING, so that I can generate weekly reports easily (This is where I wasted my time) I've also got to integrate, somehow, references to my livescribe pen (annotated conference call notes). And, it'll be nice to backdate conference calls so that even if I dont' log them, I can log them later. I know I can . . it's just coming up with an easy way to do it. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

I use Aquamacs, and the help window sometimes pops out, and sometimes
stays in the main frame. It's annoying.
I'm not sure what either of you is saying here. C-c C-j works very
simply: the little help window pops up but the key sequences (arrows
and TAB basically) allow me to move in the original buffer until I hit
RET at which point the popup disappears and I'm in the original buffer
at the new location.
Am I missing something?
When I did that, it started with all of the headings closed. If I'm looking
for something nested, it's VERY hard to use, or, I am doing something
wrong. See how easy it is for you to find something at level 3, for
example.

I use the ubuntu wl-beta package so didn't have to do this. Configuration is far from trvial, my config file has 300 lines. It took me a week of tweaking to get to a state where I was happier than I was with my previous mail client. There are still some rough edges.

Could you explain what was slow? I find Gnus to be as fast as any mail reader I've used, but it all depends on how one sets it up and whether one uses other processes to fetch mail: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusSpeed It's slow because I use nnimap :) Maybe I don't need to. I think I need nnimap so I can check mail with my phone too. But, perhaps I am mistaken. Do any of you use gnus another device to read mail, when you're not at your computer?

I don't think an e-macs mail reader will really work for links, I do not understand what you mean here. I was simply saying that I was not biased away from gnus because it wasn't pretty. In fact, I'm still willing to give it a shot. Even if IMAP isn't the best solution, I can always work out something with fetchmail / procmail, but, I still need a way to be able to read / check e-mail on my phone, even if it has already been gathered by fetchmail.

With tab, it is now very useful, except for aquamacs opening the help in another window. I think I need to go back to Emacs.app of course, this assumes you know the hierarchy (i.e. under which higher level headings your particular destination is to be found). if you don't know the hierarchy, I would suggest doing an expansion of the whole file into the headings view (I can't remember what it is called but C-u TAB cycles through the different views) and search using C-s instead... remembering that you always have the full power of emacs at hand which is partly what makes org so powerful!

[Orgmode] Questions about creating new nodes (headings)
Here are two questions (or maybe one question, and a bug report) from my note taking while reading the manual. * Best way to make next menu item? M-Enter seems to work pretty well. I'm not to happy with the way org-mode adds a blank line after a block of text when doing C-S-RET from the entry line, and M-RET from the block of text. Do most of you have a blank line after your text blocks, but before the next entry? And, I just noticed that it doesn't ALWAYS add the blank line . . . tres strange. The blank lines seem to have some correlation with having other blank lines after higher nodes. It is VERY strange behavior . . so far, unpredictable to me :) * C-RET does not seem to do what the info page suggests. It seems to go into a column selection mode. Which, by itself, is very useful, and I'll have to remember that. I can't seem to find the C-RET behavior anywhere (jump over the body, and add a new heading at the same level. C-S-RET Does do what it is supposed to, so, I guess a good workaround is C-S-RET, then backspace over the TODO. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Jump - seems really hard to use. C-c C-j. Opens help window with cursor in it, so I have to C-x o to get to Org-goto window. Then, once in the goto window, hitting tab opens the subtree, but pressing a down arrow again goes back to the top. Seems very useless for actually finding anything. Am I using it wrong?

[Orgmode] Copying and Pasting (and Selecting)
Selecting I've gotten into the habit of selecting by holding down shift, and using the arrows to highlight the text I want to select. This even works fine in Aquamacs. But, when I'm using orgmode, and I use shift-Up or Down, then it changes the priority . . Anyone else find this irritating? Any work arounds, other than retraining myself? Copying and Pasting This could just be me fighting with Aquamacs (Cmd-C, Cmd-V, Cmd-etc mac keys). But, the cutting, copying, and pasting do not seem very intuitive. I am used to (from old emacs days) using C-w and C-y, but, i usually did that over regions. Shift-Arrows to select, etc. When I shift arrow over a subtree it mucks with priority. I know that's by design, but I find it annoying. Doing the alternative (cutting a subtree) does NOT seem intuitive to me. (Well, the C-w at the end of the command (C-c C-x C-w) does). But, I'm not trying to report a bug -- I'm actually asking a question: How do you guys typically select a region and move it, assuming that you can't just move the subtree with M-S-Arrows ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Final Question: Usage
I'm still using a monolithic file to inplement my DGTD (Dave's GTD). I'm not as anal as TOD (The other Dave, Dave Allen), and I don't run a strict inbox. What I do want is: 1) a place to keep track of live projects, bugs, conversations, etc. 2) A place for notes 3) A place to track TODO's 4) A way to archive off done stuff. So far, orgmode does the above with ease. But, I am starting to run into walls. Organization: I'm using one monolithic file now. And, agenda mode doesn't know about it till I add it. Should I be using agenda mode to track todos? (This goes with my calendar questions a bit in the other mail). If I do use agenda mode, how do I add multiple files? How do I work with multiple files? Is there an easy way to jump back and forth from them, if I start making one file for Bugs, one for Escalations, one for projects, one for notes, etc? Finally -- and this is my biggest stumbling block: Status reporting I'm looking for some way to generate a status report of what I've been working on. So, this report should contain anything that has been modified in the last week. (I drop date stamps a lot). Also, the report should include extra flagged items, even if they did not get work. (i.e. Background tasks that are starving should be noted -- but, since not all tasks / entries are background tasks, I'd make some custom tag, like, reportme that should be reported, regardless) I'm trying to generate a status view like that, export to HTML, and e-mail it to my pointy haired boss . . . . any way to do that? -Dave ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Anyway, thanks for the answers so far, and thanks for the new ones that will surely come when I get confused again. I think my next goal is to come up with some way to use multiple files to help my organizaition . . and somehow link them together. (Don't tell me . . still reading the fine manual!) -Dave ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Set the Org Publish Timestamp Directory and Org Publish use Timestamps Flag to `on'. From now on, Org-mode will publish only files, that changed since the last time you published. Those are both already set. Currently, I'm only using one file. I'm not sure how to use multiples yet (sorry . . such a n00b) :) I was hoping to report based on changed bullets in the same file. -Dave ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Mobile Org Sharing Questions
I know it's a bit of an RTFM, but, I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep my org-mode in sync with my iPhone (Using MobileOrg). And, I'm VERY new to orgmode, and a bit new to emacs. I can easily do a one way sync (org-mode to somewhere, via html), but I'm looking for a better way (two way sync, like MobileOrg) I have dropbox, but it's not webdav. I also have an iDisk, but it's a pain to keep that synched. I simply don't like the mac synching. I signed up for the other webdav account, but, I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it. I can easily use ssh to keep my org files somewhere. But, that doesn't help the reverse path. I run my own apache at home, so, I suppose I could install webdav there, but I have concerns about security, having never messed with it. So, I guess my questions are: What's the simplest method that's possibly insecure (i.e. some random webdav provider)? And, what's the simplest method that's secure?

[Orgmode] Using Times in org-mode calc?
I'm trying to make a running log, but I can't seem to get times entered in HH:MM:SS to work right. Well -- they work right, but I can't get things to re-display in that format. And, sometimes math is just screwy. For example: | Distance | Time | Time| Speed | Speed | | (Miles) | HH:MM:SS | Decimal | (MPH) | (Min/Mile) | |--+--+-+---+| | 2.0 |12:34 | 3:17| || |3 |30:45 | | || #+TBLFM: $3=$2/2 As you can see the 3:17 is some very strange calculation. Not sure what it did. If I use =$2, it returns 6:17 It seemed like it was doing something wright, but, now it looks like maybe it just doesn't understand HH:MM:SS format? What would be the easiest way to implement something like that table? Lisp functions? ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
