Some Org-Mode Workflow

I've got to say that org-mode has been treating me rather well. To contrast this, I also started playing with Evernote on my iphone. In theory, Evernote seems really helpful for working with todo lists. It has been reasonably nice for things like going to the store to buy a list of things. One feature that seemed really helpful was the ability to take a picture of something as a note. I took a picture of a pedal board I was making for Lauren that had some measuremeants on it. Unfortunately, for some odd reason, it wasn't saved. I think this happened when I tried to write a note that went along with the photo. It wasn't a huge deal and I'm sure user error was part of the equation, but I really hope that the photo feature is able to let jot down some notes in addition to simply having a picture.

tutorial. I had read it plenty of times before but it didn't really click what was happening. I was always frustrated that the agenda side of org-mode required configuration. That was probably more a function of my own lack of understanding tweaking my .emacs file than a real negative. Now that I'm more familiar with Emacs Lisp, doing small configuration details in my .emacs doesn't seem like nearly as big a deal. After all, that is what it is there for! Paste's paster command. We used IronPython for it and it ended up being somewhat helpful. If I were to do something like that I think I would use Paver. In fact, this gives me an idea!
