Badger

A simple personal task manager written in Python.

Usage

• badger cal or badger calendar to graphically see your calendar
• badger now to see the current event
• badger next to see the next event to get ready for
• badger assumptions to print what badger has guessed

Settings

• default view (day, week, month)

Assumptions

missing...

• name => filename without extension and _'s replaced with spaces
• time => badger will schedule it for you based on the following:
  • your free time
  • the event's priority
  • length - so it does not overlap other events
  • setup time - more likely to slice the event into different instances if this is low
  • ongoing - it will be fitted in repeatedly, wherever possible
