Re: [O] MobileOrg

Some more tips:

* I have some code to monitor the mobile org file that changes and 
automagically update the desktop based Org. This means if you forget 
to push and the mobile Org is stale, you can also remotely force a 
push by adding a dummy item and syncing 2x.

* You can add "#+FILETAGS: REFILE" to the top of the file where 
mobile items get synced, and then in a custom agenda make sure those 
all appear in a section so you remember to file them once they are 
on the desktop Org. (C-w).

Hope this helps,

  -k.
