Re: [PLUG] Walt's presentation on taskwarrior

I just switched from outlook's "managed" tasks (pretty much only flagging emails) to taskwarrior. I like the capabilities of the tool, but I didn't find a proper way to put an estimate on a task.
As is, there no difference between "create email account for bob" and "migrate the oracle server to a new hardware", but in reality, the second one takes 100 times longer. How can I reflect that in taskwarrior ?

Walt's presentation about taskwarrior on Wednesday intrigued me so
I'm starting
to use it.  First, it really does work very very well with dropbox.
Second: I like the shell and calendar commands.

I edited the .taskrc file to use the light-256 theme... better for my
tired eyes
than the default. The task files are actually in /usr/share/doc/task - not 
/usr/local/share/doc/task

Rather than use the default holidays file (which is limited to 2011)
I copied it
to my .task directory, edited it, and then include it from there.  My
version is
below and includes 2012 and 2013.  If you don't specify the year in
the name the
last years dates override all the earlier years dates.  Oh, and I
added Easter
and Halloween.  Not sure about Patriot's day but I included it since
it was in
the 2011 file.

I am thinking of writing an email processing utility that will
receive emails to
a special email address and/or with a special passphrase and a task
command in
the body.  For example:
abracadabra task add project:plug due:tomorrow volunteer to speak at plug
It could work in reverse by receiving a command and replying with an email. 
"task list" comes to mind.  I could even automatically email that
list to myself
every day.  Might actually replace RTM (Remember The Milk).
That would greatly ease the integration with my smart phone. I'll post the 
progress I make with this to the PLUG list if anyone is interested.

Geez, I guess I should get back to /real/ work rather than tweaking
taskwarrior :-)
