Hi I'm gradually getting accustomed to org-mode; thanks to all those whose work makes this great software keep getting even better.
I've been trying to figure out how to integrate org-mode into my gadgets and my situation, and realize that I've been thinking about it upside down. The missing piece of the puzzle, for me, the thing I don't know how to accomplish, is the most important one to have. So, here's what I've got and what I'm trying to do: - Working at home part of the time, usually near the computer; and at various other locations the rest of the time, NOT near a computer. - Android phone, with root access and (often) able to use wi-fi at work - Home computer, with internet access obviously - Off-site web server where I'm free to install and run whatever is necessary - No laptops or tablets, and none planned. Got more than enough machinery already. :) My main goals: 1. I need audible alerts from my phone for appointments & reminders when I'm away from home. I don't really mind how those are accomplished, but I have to hear a sound of some kind at the appropriate times. I can't be counted on to check my phone periodically - I need the phone to "check" me instead, or I'll forget a lot of things. For example, I'm very attracted to 0rg-notify, but have no clue how to transfer that functionality onto the phone. (SSH the phone onto the server and run emacs on there? But I don't even know if that would give audible alerts.) 2. I need a way (any reasonable way) of keeping the home computer's appointments & reminders, and the phone's appointments & reminders, in sync. Automatic sync is nice but definitely not a requirement - I can sync manually if needed. (MobileOrg the obvious choice? or something else?) 3. In all of this, I want to maximize use of org-mode/gnus/emacs and associated tools, and minimize use of other tools. Thanks for any thoughts or advice on how this might be done. -- David Rogers
