Hi,
I've been using org-mode for several weeks now, and like it very much.
Many thanks to the developers!
The following doesn't work, but will give you an idea of what I'm trying
to do.
Meeting <%%(diary-float t 2 1) 13:00>--<%%(diary-float t 2 1) 15:00 +1m
+3d>
1. I need a repeating time/date range for the first Tuesday of each
month, with a 3 day warning period before the meeting.
2. I would also like a reminder window to pop up 15 minutes before the
meeting starts.
3. My ultimate goal is to have a report tell me how many hours are left
in a work week after all the hours consumed by meetings and other
non-project activities are subtracted.
Are these things possible? If yes, how?
Lou

This works:
* TODO Meeting
DEADLINE: <%%(diary-float t 5 4) 21:30>--<%%(diary-float t 2 1) 22:00 +1m -3d>
You'll need to set up appt for your 15 minute reminder. I get mine 12
minutes before as set up by appt-message-warning-time. appt only beeps
the terminal bell but there are other reminder setups available -- but I
haven't tried any of them. Appt works for me.
HTH,
Bernt

Sorry that should be
* TODO Meeting
DEADLINE: <%%(diary-float t 2 1) 13:00>--<%%(diary-float t 2 1) 15:00 +1m -3d>
I was just messing with the times to see if I get a reminder now or not
if the meeting is pending.
You need to use -3d not +3d to state you want a warning 3 days _before_
the due date in the agenda. But it looks like the early warning days
feature only works for standard deadline dates
e.g.
* TODO Meeting
DEADLINE: <2009-06-27 Sat -3d>
so I don't think your 3 day warning will work with the diary-float entry.

However, it seems it does not recur; ie., org does not see it as a recurring
item, so once you mark it as 'DONE', it marks it as CLOSED and the item does
not show up in your agenda anymore -- including future occurences.
diary-sexps and recurring items don't mix, it seems.
Best wishes,
Dirk.

Ah sorry I didn't try to close it. I just noticed that it did show up
on the agenda for multiple months in the future.

diary-sexps and recurring items don't mix, it seems. Or?

Bernt has answered your first question. For this one, have a look at these links:
;; and from RichardRiley's entry: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OrgMode-OSD
;; and from Nick Dokos: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/5271
(from my comments in my .emacs which sets up org-mode for window
popups) which interface org-mode, Emacs's own appointment mechanism
and on-screen display features in Linux.
HTH.
