Linux GTD roll call

Hi everyone,

Anyone else using Linux as their day-to-day OS? I switched my work laptop over completely a while ago, though I still run Windows under a VMWare VM for the sake of accessing Lotus Notes and a few other work requried Windows apps.

What office pr0n tools have folks used under Linux? I've played around with VIMOutliner and GnomeTasks, along with several stand alone wikis. My team is using the NotesWiki template from OpenNTF for shared information and that's worked out fantastically.

Emacs howm is actually "actively"...

Emacs howm is actually "actively" maintained, there is just not enough English documentation around it -- developed in Japan. Besides, it is a minor mode, it works perfectly well with "org" mode. You just need to set howm to use "org" as the major mode.

The in-file link (if I interpret it right) is really, really a neat feature, if you can see the diagram on this page, you will have an idea -- it even supports the "bidirectional" link concept.

I have just released a new version of org mode which does implement in-file links. Not bi-directional as in HOWM, because the two packages are too different. Comments are welcome.

Nice; thanks. My problem with in-file links before, really was that they were specified by line number. This was mostly okay for external files, especially if they don't change too often, but couldn't be used for linking between (for example) Next Actions and corresponding references. Well, it could, but they don't stay valid for long :)

Nice to see that you added , for other files too. This is exactly what I needed!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
