Auto-disowning in zsh 🔗
setopt AUTO_CONTINUE sends CONT to a process as you background it instead of having to manually disown.
Scheduling work blocks in Google Calendar from the CLI 🔗
When I’m starting the day I like to schedule work blocks for anything I need to get to from my task list. I don’t like pointing and clicking, so I made a quick tool to schedule blocks:
$ sked "Do some thing" -t 15:00
That’ll just drop a 30 minute “Do some thing” block at 3 p.m.
It assumes a 30-minute duration and today as the date, but you can alter those with -d/--duration and -D/--date.
Needs a working gcalcli.
Pairs nicely with the Remember the Milk CLI app: I can run any of several aliases I’ve set up to see what’s due, what’s missing a date, etc. and just start typing items and times in the spaces I have open to get some things done.
