I have a system similar to what you're mentioning, except I use email at the moment. I have a cron job that emails me a ascii daily/weekly agenda depending on what day of the week it is (daily every day, weekly + daily on sunday). Since my mobile devices usually cache off my email, that does the job of getting it offline for me. Same idea could be used for paper though. I should clean the code up for the export system I use, though since I rely on el-get and a few packages, it's a rather me-specific configuration. Will post if I get that done. I'm actually planning on building a Freerange printer (http://gofreerange.com/printer) that I'd like to be able to export org stuff too. Assuming that project actually gets done, I'll post about it here also. Wouldn't be surprised if someone set up a BERG Littleprinter feed too. :) On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 1:50 PM, Torsten Wagner wrote: > Hi, > > I was wondering if it is possible to export an agenda in form of a weekly > calendar. > For the good old "offline" times, I would like to carry a printed version of > e.g., the last week, current week and the next week with me (e.g. printed > all on a double sided printed A5 page). > That would allow me to jot down changes and have a quick look on my > schedules at all time.
