Question for #Patreon #indiegogo creators et al. Do you ever wish you could auction your creations instead of accept a monthly subscription? E.g. if you've made something rare. I'm thinking of Dutch auctions here where the price goes down over time, so would avoid most Ticketmaster/EBay issues

@b it's a common expression in North Dublin, though I always understood it to mean a handsome or respectable appearance in guys.

@publicvoit https://github.com/conornash/dot-emacs/blob/master/emacs24.orgmode.org has my org setup but I should probably make a blog post or two to fully explain. Also, there's plenty of cruft that needs cleaning. As you can see I try everything 😄

@b Tootdon has nice hashtag shortcuts and generally feels extra polished. Loving the diversity of clients in general. Web interface is also great on desktop.

@mwfogleman Definitely enjoyed them. Reminded me of my own productivity journey :D

I take a maximal approach, but started with GTD style and pared back until just what I needed for my workflow. Minimal filing + structure, something is either TODO or DONE, DEADLINEs and SCHEDULED dates provide prioritization. Reference materials in their own files, everything searchable by plain text. PARA ->

- Reference
+ Client
+ Personal (e.g. CRM)
- TODO/clocking
+ Internal Biz
+ Personal TODOs

@mwfogleman I run a small consultancy and use #emacs #orgmode extensively:
- 1 master file for all client todos. Each client gets a top level heading, tasks underneath. Drawer properties to make the client name show up in the agenda.
- track time and add notes in the master file. Code/deliverables stay in a client specific file to avoid bloat.
- add a clock table under each heading with a time range of the previous month. Re-calc & copy into accounting software on 1st of month.

@mwfogleman I obtained it through MELPA, though the source is very readable: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/backup-each-save.el

Any reason why you stay away from emacsmirror? I love the convenience of using use-package.

@mwfogleman I set Emacs to backup every save to a backup directory. I keep the last 25 versions of each file so I can usually find what I'm looking for. https://github.com/conornash/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org#backup-each-save

I've had the exact issue you mention happen to me multiple times, and each time I've been delighted to be able to find what I wanted through the backups.

"Let’s say we want to build the TCP/IP stack of an operating system. A traditional implementation might take 10,000 lines of code. What if you rethought the design from the ground up? What if you could make the IP packet handling code look almost identical to the RFC 791 diagram which defines IP? That’s exactly what the Viewpoints team did. This is real code in their system:"
