Skwldo - A todo list geared towards managing assignments

Hey everyone,
I'm going through the hardest year of my engineering degree and needed a tool to keep all of my assignments and due dates in order. Because of that, I decided to write a bash script that utilized awk, sed, and core utils. In the end, the script will write to a text file that can be displayed easily within applications such as conky. So in other words, I had conky in mind when writing this.
Anyway, I figured others could benefit from a simple todo manager geared towards school assignments.
Feedback is welcome! Keep in mind that this was written as a learning exercise and for the need.
Thanks!

T430 NVidia GPU not listed in device manager

Hello -- I have a problem regarding the NVidia NVS 5400M inside the Thinkpad T430. I use Windows 8. I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but the NVidia card no longer shows up in Device Manager and the NVidia driver (both the standard driver from their website AND Lenovo's Optimus driver) refuses to install, complaining it can't find any compatible hardware. Device Manager does not list any graphics cards or unknown devices, and as far as Windows is concerned the NVidia card does not exist.
Here's a summary of what I see:
In Discrete Graphics mode -- my Linux installation (which uses native NVidia drivers) works fine and uses the NVidia card. Windows 8 boots and runs with a generic graphics driver; there is a performance hit, and no graphics cards or unknown devices are listed in Device Manager. That's the problem I want to fix.
In Optimus mode -- Windows 8 boots and runs with the Intel integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 4000) which is listed in Device Manager. Again, no other graphics cards or unknown devices are listed.
I appreciate in advance any help towards getting the NVidia drivers installed successfully!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yep, still doesn't appear that the NVidia drivers from that package are installing. If I boot in Optimus mode, only the Intel card is shown in Device Manager. I'd like to not have to use Optimus and just stay in Discrete Graphics mode if possible because Linux support for Optimus is not very good.
Would completely uninstalling all the drivers possibly help?
Before you go through that hassle, try the following:
1. Go into the BIOS Configuration Display setting and change it to Discrete only. If you see a setting just below display that talks about OS detection, disable that as well otherwise it will try to flip back to Optimus. F10 to save and exit.
2. Go back into the BIOS settings and verify the setting was really saved. Exit the BIOS settings (discarding this time) and boot Windows normally.
3. Go to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO\NVIDIA and run setup.exe. Use the Custom option for the mode after it does compat checks and asks for you to agree to the EULA.
4. When you see the list of custom installation options, turn on the "Perform a clean installation" checkbox. This should not present a problem if you don't have custom profiles.
See if that works.

A good ToDo list?

Really, the only app I want is a good ToDo list that synchronizes with iCal. What are the possibilities?

The one app I use is OmniFocus. There's a desktop version and a iPT version. BUT... you need to sync using iDisk or some other server, which doesn't seem to help you. I haven't come across any other syncing to-do app.
For anyone looking into OmniFocus, it helps to know about "GTD" (the book "Getting Things Done", which introduces a task management system and which OminFocus is patterned after). OF does have a bit of a learning curve, especially if you don't know GTD.

HyperMenu - a dmenu-based utility that features a TODO list and more

HyperMenu is a multi-purpose, dmenu-based utility that features a TODO list manager, note manager, calculator, applications menu, system menu, weather menu, and a GTK2 theme switcher. Designed for speed and efficiency, the program's name was inspired by the "hyper" modifier key on most keyboards, often labeled with a menu symbol. In fact, it is highly recommended to bind HyperMenu’s commands to hotkeys with sxhkd, xbindkeys, or any other X keybinder.
Contributions:
All contributions are welcome, especially ideas on how to manipulate dmenu for useful purposes.
Additional Information:
Refer to the hypermenu(1) manual page. Documentation also exists in the doc folder of this distribution.

Thanks everyone for your input and contribs.
I will address the issue with xdpyinfo soon. I made xdpyinfo a dependency for now. It's used for grabbing the screen resolution, which is used by dzen2.
nierro!! Thanks for your suggestions. I implemented most of them.
Here is my response:
1) Done. I hope you are starting hypermenu with hotkeys though, and not just running hypermenu through the terminal
2) I installed the dmenu package that has transparency (dmenu-xft-transparency), but I could not get it to go transparent with the opacity parameter: -o. Is this what you have in mind?
3) With dmenu, all lines that are selectable can be "clicked". So I don't think there is a way to do this unfortunately.
4) Done.
5a) Done. Let me know what you think about the format and how it looks. Is there a IP lookup website that you prefer or suggest, seeing that you are in Italy?
5b) Disk space in system menu is implemented. Let me know what you think.
6) I will look into this. I already have a script that scrapes accuweather. What website would you be using to get your weather, seeing that you are in Italy? Does accuweather work well?
I uploaded my revisions to git and aur (I haven't updated documentation yet though). Be sure to remove your settings file, so that a new one will be generated with the new variables. Be sure to set "SYSTEM_WWW_IP_SHOW" to true. It's disabled by default because it can cause the menu to start up slow, since it has to wait for a website to spit out the IP. However, there is a way to speed things up... see below.
Also, there is a new optional dependency, dnsutils. If you have dnsutils, then the IP lookup will be faster since it will go through DNS (OpenDNS), rather than from a website like icanhazip.com.
Thanks again for your input. I'm really happy you like it!

Iphone app which works with Calendar's ToDo lists ?

Hi,
Can anybody recommend an iphone lists management application which can handle the ToDo lists from Calendar ? Looking around I couldn't find any yet.

This blows big time -- no hard sync with To Dos or even Notes. And it is deliberate to make us use web apps. I mean why have an iCal at all then, if a key part of it the To Dos, don't sync? Frigging amazingly either stupid or cynical that people will keep buying a cell phone that lacks this. I have to carry two cell phones now or a bunch of index cards with my do lists written on them or the do lists printed out. Personally, the world would just be a better place if Apple killed iCal and Microsoft killed Entourage and MSFT made an identical version of Outlook for Mac and Mac allowed it to sync with an iPhone. As it stands now, I was going to up grade to the 3G. Now I'm going to give my iPhone to charity and buy a Blackberry. Tired of being Apple's sucker.

FF not running (not listed in Task Manager) but get message it is (and Profile missing)?

WIN7 (86). Can't open FF. Get message it's running, but it isn't (not listed in Task Manager showing all processes). Tried to access my Profile, but search was unsuccessful.

Try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile.

Assign Task is assigned to a specific user but the she can not see it in her ToDo list

Hello,
I am currently working on the first process (after upgraded it to LC ES 2 with SP2) and try to test by routing it to the next person but the user could not see it in her ToDo list nor receive any Task email.
I checked for the process in the AdminUI and see that it is currently assign to that user and also check the email configuration but do not see any thing wrong. I also recorded it and see it is assign to that person. I then try to re-assign it to a different person but it still does not show in the next person's ToDo list. So I go to the log file and see there is an error as below:
00000078 UserServiceIm W com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.dsc.userservicev2.UserServiceImpl createTaskFromDialogProperties WARNING!!! You have not specified any Form TLO/DCI settings, and have not specified any input data. This task will be created without any form.Process: 1515F/1515F, Step Name: AssignTask0
I tried to search for the error above but could not find any thing reference to it.
Can any one please advise on how to fix it so the user can see it in their ToDo list when the task is assigned to them.
Thanks,
Han Dao

Hi
It sounds like you have not selected anything on the Presentation & Data tab of the Workspace Startpoint/User Service.
You need to specify:
Your Asset (the form you want to present to the user)
An associated Action Profile (tells the server how you want the form rendered...typically it is set to Default which uses the Render PDF Form process)
The variable to hold your data(typically an xml variable)
Make sure these are set.

Date format in Mail ToDo list

I would like to enter due dates in my ToDo list in British format. The display format is fine. Setting Preferences and restarting the computer doen't help. There is a file called ToDo.strings which might be relevant, but can anyone tell me how I force this change?

+initWithDateFormat:@"%b %1d %Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO];+
+initWithDateFormat:@"%1m/%1d/%Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO]
autorelease];+
As I said, I'm not that knowledgeable, but I can read - it seems to me all the examples given assume the English language (month first), so have you tried:
%1d/%1m/%Y
I am asking because you said:
+I have in my mail template the string "apple-content-type="date" apple-date-format= *"%b %1d, %Y"".*+
From what I just looked at, "b" or "m" is the month, so if that is what you have entered, it'll show "March 2, 2010"; however - at least in Germany - the date is displayed as 2. März 2010 (I know the Viennese have their own way of doing things, but..
The other thing that puzzled me is the fact that it says "allowNaturalLanguage: No" - again, I have no idea, but logic would dictate that yes, of course, you want the natural language which, in this case, would be German. Just a thought on this one.

ToDO List doesn't show up on published calendar?HELP NEEDED

I'm new to iCal. I've checked off the correct box to publish Alarms and ToDo List. When I view the published calendar in a Safari window, I can't see the ToDo list anywhere....all I see is the Calendar and "This Month's Events" at the bottom of the page. I want to be able to view the ToDo list via the web, but how?
Thanks

The .Mac webview of calendars only supports appointments, not tasks. Your tasks are actually published, so if anyone subscribes with iCal, they could see the tasks, but the browser doesn't display them. If you have access to a server to run a custom web calendar app, you could try phpicalendar. This works on the same principle as the .Mac server & parses the iCalendar file for display in a web page. It does support task display.

G470 Bluetooth not listed under Device Manager and not working

Hi,
Can someone teach me how to solve my G470 problem?
Its Bluetooth is not listed under Device Manager and I can't find it anywhere.
Before that, it isn't working at all.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi athirah11,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. On the Device Manager, click View > Show hidden devices and check if the Bluetooth device is being listed.
- Link to picture
- Link to picture
2. If the bluetooth device shows up under the Device Manager, do the following:
a. Under Control Panel > Programs, uninstall the Bluetooth driver/software (reboot if necessary)
b. Run the Bluetooth Driver Installer
- this will identify the type of Bluetooth Device installed on the system (eg. Qualcom Atheros, Intel, etc.) and it will install a generic Bluetooth driver. If successful, the Bluetooth device and its components should now appear normally under the Device Manager.
If the bluetooth device still doesn't show up, can you provide the model number of your G470 (eg. 59xxxxxx) fur further checking.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

A simple todo list

I was unable to find a "todo list" that I was satisfied with... so I wrote one.
The idea is you just wire it in line with your code and write a constant to it with a todo note. Wire it with "exit" command during program cleanup, and it will create a "todo.txt" in the directory of any project you have open. If no projects are open it will prompt you with todo dialogue. I plan on posting it to community, but thought I would get opinions and things to revise first.
Edit: Oh, to be clear I realize that the entire list won't be populated each run. If that section of code doesn't get called, it won't fill it out. That having been said, it will still tell me what vis have todo in it, and specificially the todo list will populate with the areas I'm working on at any given time.

Yeah they even made it so you could write your own bookmark managers and on start pick which one. The idea I guess is you can take the same information and represent it in a different way. Or potentially interact with other task/project tracking programs.

You need to completely uninstall iTunes from your computer and then download and install it again.
You do know that Microsoft has a web site, right?

Googlemail and leopard todo list frustration but everything working fine

Hey guys
My mail seems to be working fine, i have 4 accounts setup all receiving emails fine (I hope) all i done was did a clean install from the snow leopard disk and manually backed up using time machine copying over the folders i wanted i.e. itunes / iphoto / calendar etc (Not mail)
i then started again with mail adding accounts although i did have to quit mail do a restart to get my emails back that were stored on google etc
Now my problem...
I select in preferences to always use the "on my mac" todo list under composing but i keep getting the googlemail todo list under neath on the sidebar. Although it doesn't do anything, is there a way i can delete it from view as it's very much a pet hate.
Thanks

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.
Yours Bengt W
