Orna and me decided we need a shared calendar. Most
families keep one on the wall, usually in the kitchen area. We now
keep a shared file on the local server. The file is in emacs’s diary
format and email reminders are sent nightly via the wonders of cron
and emacs -eval.
#!/bin/sh
# email.sh -- repeatedly run the Emacs diary-reminder
xemacs -batch \
-l diary-lib \
-eval "(let \
((diary-mail-days 3) \
(european-calendar-style t) \
(diary-file \"/path/to/diary\") \
(rcpts '(\"muli@localhost\" \"ladypine@localhost\"))) \
(mapcar \
(lambda (addr) \
(let \
((diary-mail-addr addr)) \
(diary-mail-entries))) \
rcpts))"

LOL, that’s a nice solution!
I would have used iCal format, probably. Mozilla Sunbird with WebDav?

Too much graphical goodness hurts my eyes. I like plain, simple and accessible over ssh.

You would so not like the solution ‘s and I are going to choose. We are using shared calenders in iCal.
On the other hand, I figure it would take me about an hour to hack up a perl-curses app to show the calenders.
I, also, ❤ ssh.

Hey, I’m a live and let live kind of guy, whatever works for you… Since I don’t know much (anything) about iCal, I can’t comment further.

iCal is the very GUI calender component for osX.
I’ve ceased to get headaches related to graphics ever since I started using osX regularly. Candy coated unix is good for you !

I’ve heard good stuff about Planner mode though I do not use it (I’m spartan about these things).

Looks pretty interesting, I’ll check it out (I think you might’ve mentioned it in the past, too). Re spartan – what do you use?

A tiny mode I wrote with: Font-locking for completed vs. uncompleted tasks based on whether they have an asterix or minus sign in front of them. Add a number of key-bindings to sort the uncompleted task at the bottom of a list of tasks and other brick-a-brack.
The buffer ends up looking like:
Etc.
