I collect much data about myself using Memacs (see signature). However, I did not derive anything else but some boxplots from it (visualizing time-differences between periodic events). Something generic which I can feed Org-mode files (most preferably in Memacs-like Org-mode format) and derive some standard graphics (where I pick those that make sense) would be very great! -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
