EmacsOrgTimestamps

Today I had to do some profiling of how long each phase of a software install took. The tool I was using printed output like this:

blah

I wanted to determine the difference between two timestamps. I had been reading the emacs calc manual and I noticed that calc supported hour-minute-second calculations. Furthermore, emacs org-mode has a spreadsheet that calls calc. A plan!

org-mode manual: http://orgmode.org/manual/index.html

problem with sum functions in org-mode tables: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/[email protected]/6870504.html

avoid parsing calc HMS forms as ranges: as http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08470.html

write up installing org-mode with aquamacs, including changing path to emacs in Makefile
