[O] Generating clock table for arbitrary date range

2011-12-03 Thread A. Ryan Reynolds
Is there any way to specify a start and end date for the :block property of a 
clock table? Lately I have often found myself submitting an invoice based upon 
my clock report on Friday evening, only to be called frantically on Saturday 
and having to put in additional hours (this should sound familiar to many 
programmers :)), which I then need to attribute to next week's clock table to 
be submitted on the following invoice. Is there an easy way to do this?

Aha! Thank you. That works nicely. I had known about :tstart and :tend
but I misunderstood their purpose.

At my last job this was the sort of table I needed to produce, too.

Re: [O] Ctrl-Tab behaviour

 Hello,
 
 I use swbuff with Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab bound to cycle between
 active buffers. I additionally use some regex to skip all internal
 buffers.
 
 Now this behaviour breaks when I visit a buffer with a .org file. How
 can I fix this?


By default I believe the conflicting binding is set, in Org, to 
org-force-cycle-archived. If you unset that binding, it should not conflict, 
and hopefully swbuff will work correctly (I do not use swbuff so I cannot say 
for certain).

Re: [O] Suggestion: Stackoverflow for Orgmode

2011-07-20 Thread A. Ryan Reynolds
I think on the whole that this is a good idea; I do wonder if it might 
harmfully divide the effort on the documentation rather than provide a 
complement to the manual and guide, but I think the best way to find out is 
just to try it and see what people use.

If the existing FOSS designed to fill this niche are unacceptable to our 
purposes we can always make our own. Such a site would not be complicated to 
build, and I would be very willing to put in effort toward this goal. I do not 
know Elisp very well, which prevents me from contributing much to this project 
even though I depend heavily on Org-mode, but web programming I can contribute.

Re: [O] CLOCKTABLE multiply time expended by hourly rate?

 Hi all,
 
 I am trying to use orgmode to bill for time.  My idea is to add a column
 that multiplies the elapsed time column by an hourly rate.
 Unfortunately, the elapsed time is interpreted (I believe) as a fraction
 in calc, so, for example, a time of 0:58 becomes a zero.
 
 Is there a way to make the elapsed time get formatted as a decimal, or a
 function to convert it to a decimal, so I can multiply the time by a
 decimal and get teh right answer.


I also use clock tables in this way and would be very interested in such a 
feature.

[O] Org table to CSV

2011-07-15 Thread A. Ryan Reynolds
I'm doing a lot of work with CSV files at the moment. I know I can convert a 
region of CSV to an org table with C-c | (and I do so frequently-- thanks for 
this highly useful feature!), but is there any way I can turn an org table back 
into CSV? I need to do this almost as frequently.

 If you are confused about what to type in just use TAB to see the
 completion candidates.


Thanks Eric and Jambunathan. That works well. Is there a way to have it convert 
in-place, the way C-c | works, rather than being sent to a different file?

Thank you so much for your tireless and dedicated service Carsten.
Without your initiative my life, and the lives of many people I know,
would be a lot messier! Org mode is an invaluable treasure.

Re: [Orgmode] An Org-mode clone for Vim

2010-11-05 Thread A. Ryan Reynolds
onethingwell.org just finished a week's worth of coverage on vim
outliners. I don't use vim, so I'm not particularly invested, but
introducing another one to the vim people might be a hard sell; there
already seem to be quite a number of options available on that
platform. On the other hand, if you can replicate all of Org's
features I've no doubt you'll succeed in winning them over! And in any
case, doing something for fun is a reward by itself.

      Suggested text below.
   2. Full install

It might also be helpful to make note of the fact that some Linux
distributions offer packages of newer versions of Org than the
Emacs-included versions. For instance, on Debian testing, 7.01g is
available to me in a package (and 7.01h if I install from unstable). I
assume this probably trickles down to Ubuntu as well. This is the
route I take because it keeps me relatively close to Org-mode
developments without having to take the time to manage source code.

Re: [Orgmode] org-mode + pomodoro

2010-08-27 Thread A. Ryan Reynolds
I do this using Org-Mode and a kitchen timer. I clock in when I wind
the timer, and clock out when it dings, instead of just marking with
X's. To record distractions I keep a scratch buffer in org-mode open,
although there may be a better way to capture distractions on the
urgent and unplanned list using remember mode to file them away into a
more organized system. I just haven't had time to read about it. I
like the fact that the urgent  unplanned items don't go anywhere
unless I decide to file them though, because it keeps my to-do list
cleaner that way. During my most distracted periods I tend to capture
a lot of stray to-do items of only marginal utility.

I'm not sure my personal workflow will work exactly right for anyone
but myself (and it's still a work in progress for me too!), but I'm
happy to answer any other questions you might have about it.
