Could you update this how-to to state whether the Toppy should be in standby mode before ftping the tfd file or whether the Toppy should be running first ?. Thanks

[...] Posted by hone Fri, 13 Oct 2006 06:24:56 GMT I found this blog post on how to setup evolution to sync with OpenZaurus 3.5.3. I’m now running 3.5.4, so hopefully this will work. I’d have to have a working sync. I’ve been waiting for something to sync with evolution for a long time. Comments [...]

Comment on New Hipster PDA Templates by Rick Schneider

Awesome!! My son & I both suffer from scatterbrainedness (don’t know if it has a clinical name or is bad enough to be classified as another problem) and the Hipster PDA concept has filled a big void left by my electronic PDA. The music notes are esp. appreciated as he is a musician of sorts…

Nope – not had any joy with Konqueror (but also not tried hard).

Comment on emacs org mode – what have I been missing ! by Xavuer Maillard

Do you plan to effectively post your GTD settings here ? I am discovering org-mode and I just love it but I need explanations to well “design” my lists.

Thank you

I think you should read GTD!

org mode will make more sense then. I will post soon on how I use the GTD methodology with org-mode, including an outline of my lists, which may make things clearer.

Comment on emacs org mode – what have I been missing ! by Jason McBrayer

I’ve been using org-mode more-or-less since it appeared in Emacs CVS. Previously I had been using howm (http://howm.sourceforge.jp/), which in general I like, but I wanted to use something that was part of emacs, and less formatting-heavy.

I’m not crazy about everything with org-mode. The emphasis on hierarchical organization doesn’t work well with me; I want something more tag-focused. But in practise, I can just put everything on only a few levels and use org-occur to see what I want. I haven’t yet read GTD, so that might help me with organizing my org-mode file a bit better.

One tip I have is to put your main org file and your emacs diary file in a folder together, adjusting the paths as needed in .emacs, and putting them on revision control. This helps me keep the file up to date between my laptop and desktop, and would also serve as a backup if the repository were remote.

Thanks for the pointer to org mode – pretty cool, and for the script. I hadn’t been thinking of using gmail for backups, but with a text file I guess there’s plenty of room for copies. I’ve been using a big emacs file for my diary; you can read about it here, if you’re interested:

I ususally have an ssh terminal open to it, which I remotely edit in emacs.
