It really brought out my inner geek (well, perhaps it's not quite so "inner"). I actually dedicated nearly a full month of computer time to living inside of Emacs (it was sort of a pilgrimage), and those modes were essential. I'll get around to documenting the experience soon, but I must admit that I was almost disappointed to return to the "normal IT world" of GUIs at the end of the month.

Having read your Essential Applications page, I suspect that's one of your major requirements. You'll still be able to take advantage of its quick note-taking features, though. I find it really handy to be able to create notes from web pages, e-mail, even IRC sessions... =) Mmm, darn, Planner doesn’t sync with Palms yet.

It pops up a buffer with a link to the source, allows you to type, and saves it to a configurable backend. File, mbox, and PlannerMode files are currently supported. (PlannerMode is a day planner built on top of emacs-wiki, and is really quite fun.) If you use planner, you can also create tasks from almost anywhere in Emacs. Other journal modes for emacs-wiki exist, too. For more information, check out http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/RememberMode and http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PlannerMode Apologies if you know all this stuff already, which you probably do. <grin> Have fun!</grin> Glad to see you use emacs-wiki.el . =) If you remember lots of random snippets, you might want to check out remember.el (if you haven’t already).
