Schedule Into Org Mode

August 25th, 2011
emacs, org_mode, tech
I keep a public schedule on sccs, which I maintain with a script. To get this available in org-mode in the agenda view, I needed to:
  • modify the schedule script to create schedule.org in addition to schedule.ical.
  • set up cron on my laptop to automatically download it every 5min
  • tell org-mode about it:
            (setq org-agenda-files (list "~/todo.org"
                                         "~/schedule.org"))
            
  • tell emacs to automatically refresh files from disk when they update if I've made no changes to them within emacs (which I already wanted):
            (global-auto-revert-mode 1)
            
Now I see scheduled tasks in agenda-view:
Week-agenda (W34):
Monday     22 August 2011 W34

  todo:       Scheduled:  poke sound commitee

Self-driving car bets

This month I lost a bunch of bets. Back in early 2016 I bet at even odds that self-driving ride sharing would be available in 10 US cities by July 2023. Then I made similar bets a dozen times because everyone disagreed with me. The first deployment to pot…
