Tasks

Priorities - A: high, B: medium, C: low; Status - _: unfinished, X: finished, C: cancelled, P: pending, o: in progress, >: delegated.
You'll need the following files:

- remind.el - put this somewhere in your load-path or in your home directory. - plan2rem - make this executable and put it somewhere in your path (/usr/local/bin, for example) - rem2diary - make this executable and put it somewhere in your path (/usr/local/bin, for example) - the remind program, available as a Debian package (and probably as an RPM) - Emacs, of course.

Load remind.el, and you should be fine. Actually, thinking about it, I should move the planner parsing to after publishing...

You might need to add the following to your .emacs:

(add-hook 'list-diary-entries-hook 'include-other-diary-files)

Thanks to Arthur Vanderbilt for the reminder!

WARNING. This will automatically overwrite your diary-file (usually ~/diary). Please exercise caution.

Setting it up

• Edit ~/.reminders and add or append the following:

RUN OFF
INCLUDE .reminders.planner
RUN ON

• Place plan2rem and rem2diary in your path. /usr/local/bin or $HOME/bin (if in path) are good locations.
• Put remind.el in a directory in your load-path.
• Add this to your .emacs:

(require 'remind)

How to specify a reminder in your planner file

In a day planner file (yyyy.mm.dd, like 2002.10.08), appointments can be of the form:

hh:mm | Your message here

or

hh:mm | Your message here (hh:mm)

where ending time is parenthesized.

Generate a reminders file

The reminder and diary files are automatically regenerated when you save a planner file. If you want to change this behavior, read remind.el

Check your reminders

M-x diary RET

to see the reminders.
