Re: [O] insert picture feature request.
Hi All, I've looked into this as well and I found the following: On X the import function from imagemagick is very versatile. It can capoture the entire screen, or a rectangle on the screen selected by the user, it is possible to retain that rectangle for subsequent grabs in the session by catching the verbose output of the import command. On windows however, the import command exists in the imagemagick windows binaries, but it only grabs X sessions, not an MSwin screen, therefor it is useless. But, among all the screengrabutils for window out there I found something that could be of interest here, the Python PIL package allows for screengrabs *and* for clipboard dumping: ## start python src import os import sys import time import Image import ImageGrab def ensure_dir(f): d = os.path.dirname(f) if not os.path.exists(d): os.makedirs(d) #- #User Settings: SaveDirectory=r'c:/Screengrabs' #taking a screenshot is as simple as: #img=ImageGrab.grab() im= ImageGrab.grabclipboard() savename='ScreenShot_'+time.strftime(%y%m%d_%H_%M_%S)+'.png' saveas=os.path.join(SaveDirectory,savename) print saveas: %s %saveas ensure_dir(saveas) if isinstance(im, Image.Image): im.save(saveas) print image saved to %s% (saveas) else: print not image in clipboard ## end python src This could be extended to be multiplatform, as I understand that PIL's imagegrab does not work on X11 (at least it does not on my n900) My 2 cents here.. wzzl.

[O] capture template: help w table-line target.
Hi all,
Christopher Allan Webber was so gracious to share his personal org setup
for dieting, now I'm adapting his org-remember-template:
(setq org-capture-templates
'((w weigh-in entry
(file+headline ~/.org/Diet.org diet)
* CAL-IN Diet for day %t
%^{Weight}p
| Food / Exercise | Calories | Quantity | Total |
|-+--+--+---|
| %^{Food} |%^{Calories} |%^{Quantity} | |
|-+--+--+---|
| Total | | | |
#+TBLFM: $4=$2*$3::$LR4=vsum(@2$4..@-I$4)
)))
This works allright, this capture template is used once every day to
start the table (christopher: how does one do a CAL-OUT ?)
It creates a headline for every day with the table.
During the day the org file needs to stay opened so one can fill the
table with food/exercise items.
Now, I understand org-capture has more functionality than org-remember,
like a capture template that adds a line to a table, totally apt for
this situation:
(f food or exercise table-line
(file+headline ~/.org/Diet.org diet)
| %^{Food} |%^{Calories} |%^{Quantity} | |
:table-line-pos II-1 )
But I' having trouble getting the target right.
This works like a charm on an org file that just has a table, but I need
to figure out a way how to grab the last table (or better even, *todays*
table, if not there, will create one, but I guess this is for future)
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to add a table line to
the last table in an org file. Or the table in the last child of
headline diet ?
help a noob out,plz.
tips are greatly appreciated,
thx wzzl

Christopher Allan Webber cweb...@dustycloud.org writes: Wow, really, that's awesome and inspring. Congratulations ! I think the hacker's diet is the most useful thing to come out of autodesk. The first time I lost some serious weight was when I followed the hacker's diet in 2001, I used his palm III app for that. I've gained weight since the birth of my son and the start of my company and I want to curb it before it gets out of hand. I cap the caloric deficit at a 500 kcal deficit per day, because for me and my genetic background of overweight family this is probably not a diet but a lifestyle and I understood that at higher deficits ones metabolism is trying to adapt, trying to defeat the dieting purpose. (citation needed) -I cannot provide proof nor reference to this statement- Your approach is *exactly* what I was meaning to eventually throw together. I would love to take a look at your code, as a total noob I may be able to hack a workable system for myself -eventually, but help maintaining will be possible only on the long term. Once I've mastered lisp and org. However, as I am not the only one interested in your system you might want to consider dumping it loosely unorganized on github. but mailing us a tar package would be cool too. thx ! wzzl So I've been meaning to put something up on this in worg for a while. I've been dieting using orgmode, basic calorie tracking, and something resembling the ideas out of The Hacker's Diet for the last year (actually 2.5 years with a 1.5 year break in which I continued to weigh in mostly but didn't follow my calorie goals ;)) and have lost 60 pounds so far (originally was 275, not all that's recorded in my files during the first few weeks of dieting, anyway at 210 now), going from morbidly obese to just overweight, and I'm still losing weight (soon enough, being a fat guy will be far behind me). Here's the org-babel generated gnuplot graphs to show it (regenerated and pushed to my site every morning): http://dustycloud.org/tmp/weight.png http://dustycloud.org/tmp/weight_month.png Here's a screenshot: http://dustycloud.org/tmp/org-diet2.png Roughly in the terrible amount of hacks that compose org-diet I've wrapped together these ideas/tools: - calorie tracking - recipe calorie calculation - weigh-in via org-capture - calorie clocking (clock out at the end of the day to verify you've got accurate numbers for that day) - habit tracking of whether you've met your calorie goals - weight graphing with 10 day moving averaging to remove some of the noise from a daily weigh in/out - bmi calculation - a really shitty calories-per-day-to-lose-to-meet-your-goals estimator It's really nothing complex, and mostly it's not software, just a methedology with a *slight* amount of poorly written software in elisp and org-babel, but the system works great. I planned after meeting my diet goals (hitting normal weight) that I'd release the whole thing (including my present diet file for reference) under GPLv3, document it in worg, and put my own diet file out there under CC0, but maybe I should do it sooner... problem is I don't have time presently while trying to work on http://mediagoblin.org on weekends to make a proper release, but I could at least bundle together everything you need to have a full system using my hacks for now if you want, with really terrible but usable documentation, without taking up too much time. :) Interested? I could probably throw together a terrible tarball this weekend if you want to use it and post it to the list. One thing that's clear from the diet I've collected: whenever I've followed the system, without fail, I've lost weight. When I've deviated I've stayed level or I've gained weight (the no-movement middle of the diet graph I linked to). Follow the system, use habit tracking and stuff, stick to your calorie goals (I shoot for a lower occasional-goal of 1300 calories and an absolute minimum goal of 1600 calories), and it *fucking works* without any support of the bullshit diet industry. I've heard a few people saying they have interest in the stuff I have so maybe I should just do that crappy release for now; better than nothing?

I wouldn't recommend anyone going lower than 1200 calories per day though. Anyway, I'm at 1300-1600 calories / day now, it's not quite as super fast of weight loss (about 7 pounds / month, still not bad!), but still quite a bit of weight loss. I think if you have a lot of weight to lose you probably don't need to worry about it too much. Also note that I barely exercised at all during my diet... when I did exercise, I lost weight a little bit faster, but I simply don't believe it's necessary for weight loss. If you want to do it, great, but it's simply easier to figure out how to eat the right amount of foods to feel satisfied while having a serious calorie deficit. OK, I'll remember this. I *should* exercise though, but that is definitely not for weightloss, more for stress management and keeping the rsi at bay. -snip- https://gitorious.org/org-diet/org-diet I've gone and done it. I haven't finished writing README.org but I've added a base org-diet file to start with, the capture template in the orgmode file, etc. Hey cool ! checked out already. will use it asap. I've even checked in my whole embarassing diet.org file for you to see. You'll notice that a few months into the thing I became a vegetarian, but that was for ethical, not dietary reasons. :) me vega too, welcome ! Once I am completely not a fat guy, I will upload the final diet.org. As for how to find out how many calories things are I usually took three approaches: - I used the program Food File, to which I made a couple of patches to make it run on GNU/Linux... I guess I should make those available soon. It *was* released as free software under the GPL, not sure if the version online is still released as such. - Reading the back of packages - Looking at pre-existing data in my orgmode file. Usually I'd split the file vertically and in one pane have my current daily diet table at point, in the other I'd be isearching for things I've already eaten... usually while dieting I tend to eat the same types of things a lot, but I've collected a vast amount of caloric information in there... maybe you can find how to eat a satisfying daily amount of calories by looking at some of my example days with successful CAL-OUT clocking - I just googled for things I didn't know. Hope this is helpful to people! I'll add more docs later. (PS: the elisp is hacky, don't say I didn't warn you.) Myself, I created a little list with most of my regular foods, googled/backs of packcages and such and I kept them as a kcal/gram list. I also maintained a list of my usual servings, measured the mugs and cups I regularly used, some with a counter intuitive result. I'm sure these two lists could be maintained in an org or even a bbdb, But many pains must be suffered for this functionality and I found that my personal lists never exceeded more than 50 items. Hardly database material, so not a priority for my case. thanks, wzzl -- Stinky Wizzleteet thinks: What happened last night can happen again.
