The file format is now being processed by languages and editors other than emacs.</p> <p>I use org-mode as my [http://www.davidco.com/|GTD] storage, work notes (bug tracking, project notes and planning, log book, run book), taking minutes for a board I am on, and consulting records. It is flexible enough to provide a framework that can be customized to allow many uses. I don't intend this to be a sales pitch, but am just a really happy customer :-).</p> <p>There are some monks that use org-mode: <ul> <li>[aartist]</li> <li>[choroba]</li> <li>[educated_foo]</li> <li>[epimenidecretese]</li> <li>[LanX]</li> <li>[metaperl]</li> <li>[MidLifeXis]</li> <li>[silent11]</li> <li>[Voronich]</li> <li>[zek152]</li> </ul> If you wish to be added to this list, please /msg me.</p> <p>I am collecting a set of org-mode resources as well: <ul> <li>[http://orgmode.org]</li> <li>[mod://Org::Parser]</li> <li>[id://898097] - node by [LanX] with a containing a quick-and-dirty org2pod filter.</li> <li>[https://github.com/eschulte/babel-dev/raw/master/scraps.org] - A nice collection of (possibly out of date) pieces of org stuff that is used for babel stuff, tangling code, and other fun things.</li> </ul> If you know of other resources (especially Perl), please /msg me.</p> <h2>Sidelining</h2> <p>I am currently looking for some sideline contracting positions for about 5-10 hours a week, remote and off hours.
