With the help of the wonderful orgmode community and #emacs IRC channel i now use mu4e for email, org-reveal to prepare my classes, orgmode for all my academic/personal TODO's, i use org-ref and helm to manage my references, use it for R analysis (we do statistics in humanities to! ;-), I use it for my password management, and then of course use orgmode to collect all possible information i can think of: i use it to collect food recipes, linux tips etc. I am interested also in using org-contact and or bbdb for contact management. all this is great yet i travel alot to conferences and meeting and do rely on a mobile device (in my case a android nexus 6) in many situations. I check my emails on it as much as i do on my PC, look at upcoming and schedule appointments, look at timed TODOS, add new contacts i meet and collect info on the go (web links, food recipes etc). Out of all the things i do only email (via offlineimap and mu4e) seems to be able to Sync correctly. I have tried various ways of syncing my calander/TODOS (via orgmobile) and my notes (via git) with not much success. these methods with my crappy coding skills are not rock solid and are quite cumbersome to setup and maintain. also there dosent seem to be a solid way to sync contacts to the mobile. So my question is (sorry for the long intro :)) what do orgmode users (who also are heavy mobile users) do? do they give up on contacts and calendaring on the mobile? maintain 2 separate databases? what tools do people use to overcome this issue? I once had a nokia n900 which ran basically Debian linux, and thus emacs could be run naively , these days it seems like all are android devices. I still haven't found a gui friendly way to run emacs there. thanks so much best Z --001a114efe78b5e34d0526215147 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Hi all
