It's great! I've already set my system up per John Wiegley's tutorial. I didn't appreciate Org until I started to use capture, so I'm glad you introduced it early on. And I like how you pointed out org-capture-templates. I'm at the point where I'm changing some settings, so it's nice to see where things are defined. Also neat is the idea of notification. But I wonder if some folks might have VBS disabled. For them, I'd recommend using the Net Send command. Net Send can also broadcast to multiple users on a domain, which may (or may not) be a nice thing. I can imagine an IT person using Org-mode with Net Send to notify everyone about a server reboot. Some other things that are new to me: * AddPM (never used it) * -f switch to run Lisp and the shortcut to Agenda * latest version is now 7.3 * Timestamps & Workflow * C-c [ * lots more Invoking Customize is a nice way to establish the .emacs. But I would've mentioned C-x C-f ~/.e after the second customization, though. :) All the best! Oh, BTW, is there a tutorial on how to set up a Worg account for Windows users? -- Raymond Zeitler On Nov 5, 2010, at 4:52 PM, Russell Adams wrote: > I've just posted a new thirty minute screencast on setting up Org-mode > in Windows to Vimeo. > > http://vimeo.com/16533939 > > Included are: > > - Downloading and configuring Emacs for Windows > - Downloading and installing the latest Org-mode > - Setting up a working agenda > - Setting up capture for the agenda > - Windows native popup reminders from Agenda entries > - Setting up and use of one touch timestamps > > Under my sig are the snippets I used in the video. > > Enjoy! -snip-
