I discovered org-mode only last week, when I was looking around for Outline editors. It matched every last one of my requirements, and THEN some. It's awesome, as I'm sure you all know. As an added bonus, I can even access my outlines by connecting to my home machine through my phone's SSH client (my phone has a hardware keyboard and can fit 80x24 characters on the screen). And I've been using Emacs on and off since 1995, so it was a perfect fit for me. I am *blown away*. Anyway! When I work on items, I like to add little "log" or "diary" entries in the text, describing things that have happened or things that I've done. Like this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Get SAD 2.0.1 ready for shipping DEADLINE: 2009-08-21 [2009-08-17 07:58] I've been asked to get 2.0.1 ready as soon as possible. ** DONE Fix errors in version 2.0.0 CLOSED: [2009-08-17] - [X] Log file ownership and permissions - [X] Wrong permissions on /usr/local - [X] Admin menu inaccessible [2009-08-17 10:03] After some tinkering around, I managed to fix all bugs. ** TODO Test SAD 2.0.1 I should test using the latest replication software. I can get that from Sven-=C3=85ke. [2009-08-17 10:33] I need to find a machine to test with. [2009-08-17 10:55] Found one! Carl says I can use his testing machine. [2009-08-17 15:25] Ok, testing done. Found some bugs to fix. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See? Interspersed with the "normal" outline text, I put little log notes, sometimes more than one per entry. Now for my actual question: I want to see all these comments, from all over the file in ONE place. Perhaps in the Agenda view? The timeline? Perhaps in emacs's diary? It wouldn't hurt if this view also showed when I had completed todos. The purpose of this would that I would be able to look back at a specific day in the past, to see what I did that day. This would be helpful when it's time to write the time report. Is this possible? --=20 -=3D-=3D- Christer Enfors -=3D-=3D- "I do my music in pure machine code using an assembler." - Rob Hubbard
