Thank you for your input.

In my case, there is no fixed schedule per week, but it simply depends
on my free time which does vary from week to week and I only want to be
sure that I did fixed number of workouts per week. Moreover, if e.g.
the program does last 10 weeks, I most probably want to just continue
with it from the 11th week, iow. continuous exercising. So, it seems I
have to create schedule manually...

I've managed to import my contacts stored in ownCloud server (synced with my

Now I wonder about entering new ones?

Documentation for org-contacts mentions usage of org-capture-templates which
then utilises e.g. org-contacts-template-name/email etc.

Now I wonder if I should still use org-contacts or it's assumed to use
something else for capturing contacts along with org-vcard?

[O] [org-caldav] discerning calendars by color

2015-04-05 Thread Gour
Hello,

I've org-caldav-20150131.152 and using org-mode-8.2.10 (Emacs-24.4.1) and did
setup using org-caldav-calendars in order to be able to sync two calendars
which are in my case *two* calendars used by *one* ownCloud user.

Syncing with the server and my phone with DAVdroid seems to work properly,
but I wonder how to manage to get different color for calendar entries on my 
phone?

Every calendar is setup with different color on the ownCloud server, but they
are rendered same in phone's calendar app.

Previously I was trying to use different accounts (me  my wife) and share
each other's calendar, but then the problem is how to authorize users by
having same 'machine' entry in my authinfo.gpg?

Let me say that when using Evolution, I see different colors for each
calendar both on the phone as well as in Evolution itself, but the whole
point of using org-caldav (as well as org-vcard) is to be able to get rid of
Evolution as well as GNOME stuff considering that I use Xfce.

Another possibility could be to use some other WebDAV server (e.g. Baikal,
Radicale) if, for whatever reason, there is problem between org-caldav  OC,
but considering that I have need to sync some multimedia stuff (mp3
recordings, phone's pics  videos), I'd need another solution for syncing
files (any recommendation?).

 i don't think that's a dumb question at all!

Good. ;)

 My original motivation for developing org-vcard was to create part of a
 pipeline for synchronising contacts between Org and my smartphone. 

That would be great!!

 (b) (i) i feel org-contacts.el, as it stands, is too inflexible. It's only
 aware of a relatively small number of properties, and extending this
 requires directly messing around in the org-contacts.el code. i feel
 that this has made it difficult to expand the list of properties
 available, as it basically requires everyone to agree on exactly what
 properties to add, and how.

I agree, but let me ask you what do you think about BBDB-v3? Many people
like it, but I must admit I haven't take closer look at it?

However, I wonder whether it's flexible enough to define one's own
properties of format of one's contact data and what about syncing?

 (b) (ii) Further to (b) (i), i feel people should be able to define
 their own properties, in their preferred language, without having to
 write code for this.

That's noble feature, indeed.

 (b) (iii) More generally, previous discussions on this topic on this
 list have convinced me that it's folly to expect everyone to agree on a
 single style for contacts in Org, and that what is needed is a system
 that can easily accommodate the development of new contact styles,
 potentially allowing an ecosystem/marketplace of styles to develop, with
 particularly popular styles being considered for inclusion by default in
 the system.

Sound very good and it seems it's obvious that such nice app as org-mode
needs some improvement in the way how the contacts are handled.

 Given all the above, yes, i would like to see org-vcard become the basis
 for an Org contacts NG system. (Which, to answer Feng Shu's question,
 would mean that the 'tree' style would be available by default in such a
 system.) Whether to actually take this approach, however, is something
 i'll let the community decide. :-)

I wish you all the best hoping org-mode users will find decent solution
for handling contacts soon.

:-(

 I think what would be needed would be to read the file and store it in
 an elisp structure and then just stat() the file every time a lookup
 happened and if it hasn't changed, then use the elisp or else reparse.
 It's not like the data should be changing *that* much so it shouldn't
 need to be reread a lot.  And it's the parsing/searching that takes
 too long.

I'm just starting (again) with Emacs/orgmode and I plan to learn some
elisp eventually, but not there (yet).

 But I certainly like the org-mode format much much much better than
 bbdb(3).  Which I'm still using, unfortunately.

Do you use bbdb3 and what are important things it brings over bbdb2?

Have you, maybe, tried mu4e or should I simply stick with proven Gnus?

[O] BBDB(3) or org-contacts

2013-01-07 Thread Gour
Hello,

I've decided to use Gnus for my mail news (converted my present setup
to Maildirs served by locally running dovecot, but need some time to
setup Gnus) and wonder what do you recommend for keeping my contacts?

Besides keeping  contacts just as Gnus addressbook, I'd like to store
some extra data for some contacts like date-of-birth, place-of-birth,
time-of-birth as well as to keep records for my counseling clients
about their appointments, iow. notes about every session they had with
the ability to perform some custom-based searches.

Based on this description it seems that org-contacts is more suitable
for the task than BBDB(3) offering ability to have custom format, easy
editing of contacts etc., but I do wonder about scalability considering
the following post
(http://www.hardakers.net/code/bbdb-to-org-contacts/) where the author
of bbdb-to-org-contacts converter wrote: Once I point org-contacts at
my newly generated file containing 831 records it make org-contacts
really really slow down. I wouldn't care about the normal record
searching process for just looking something up, but it makes loading a
message in gnus unusable (5 second delay per message).

Any hint?


Sincerely,
Gour

Hi Matthew,

Matthew Apart from odt output, I'd be curious to know what reST can do
Matthew that org-mode markup and export cannot. Footnotes, tables,
Matthew hyperlinks, images---I've found org-mode to be a really great
Matthew authoring tool for exporting both to xhtml, ascii, and
Matthew LaTeX/pdf output. (And, of course, using latex2rtf, it's
Matthew trivial to convert the tex files org-mode produces into files
Matthew that can be edited in Open Office.)

I like and plan to learn org-mode to extend the present use greatly, but
similar to Muse, its use is 'limited' to Emacs users while I've need to
share some docs (e.g. writing documentation for software application)
with non-Emacs users, so using more 'standardized' markup is a 'pro'
here.

Matthew I wonder if the ascii export from org would be difficult to
Matthew convert to reST markup. Section headers and footnotes in the
Matthew ascii export seem pretty close to the corresponding markup in
Matthew reST. Just a thought

Dunno more about Asciidoc, but it would be great if Pandoc
(http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) would have full parser for reST
'cause it represents any supported markup in 'native' state before doing
conversion and it even outputs to Docbook :-)

So, my main point of using reST is more 'standard' and lightweight input
markup with the plethora of output formats.


Sincerely,
Gour

Sebastian I just did a quick search only and I think more intensive
Sebastian search would reveal many more.

Check Pandoc's features:

Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to
another, and a command-line tool that uses this library. It can read
markdown and (subsets of) reStructuredText, HTML, and LaTeX, and it can
write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, ConTeXt, PDF, RTF,
DocBook XML, OpenDocument XML, ODT, GNU Texinfo, MediaWiki markup, groff
man pages, and S5 HTML slide shows. 

In the past I also played with: http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/

Excuse me for replying to my own thread...

Gour Any idea how to 'connect' org-mode with GNUmed?

GNUmed developer is helping to make the application 'talk' to org-mode.

I'm interested if GNUmed can pass some patient information (e.g. Name)
via emacsclient is it actually possible to use it?

I suggested that GNUmed ask for appropriate *.org name to open, but,
afaics, if we call: emacsclient filename.org, then there is no
possibility to pass something else within the call?

otoh, when we want to e.g display result of Agenda's view in GNUmed, its
developer is interested if there is some 'agenda-API' to export data to
GNUmed?

More more info, pls. see

[Orgmode] GTD LaTeX export

2007-12-10 Thread Gour
Hi!

I'm moving from my old Palm Pilot to Hipster PDA (most probably with A7 format 
which is more 
convenient in Europe than 3x5 index cards), but would like to 'sync' some of 
the notes from 
it to Org-mode (especially computer-related tasks), but also to print from my 
org-mode file back 
to A7 forms arranged as 8-up on A4 page.

Is anybody doing something similar, i.e. printing from org-mode files to 
3x5/A7/whatever paper?

Any hint is welcome...


Sincerely,
Gour

Thank you very much for sharing your experience.

I did two books with LyX and after recently migrating to emacs (from vim) I'm 
more than
enthusiastic to stay as much as possible in emacs OS :-)

Since I want to use org-mode for GTD, writing for latex in it sounds very cool.

Few days ago I was asking what's the 'quality' of muse's latex export, i.e. 
whether it is 
human-readable for further refining in auctex, but  hearing abour your success 
with org-mode 
no need to look further, just the opposite to learn org-mode properly ;)

/me sighs seeing how much to learn to move more into emacs - gnus as mailer is 
still a hard nut :-(
