Okay, I apologize, because I think this is a really stupid elisp
question. I'm a little rusty, after about eight years of complacency in
my vast array of emacs customizations. But now that I've really gotten
into using org-mode, I find myself hacking away again...and forgetful.
My org file has folders for each day of the week. I'd like to define a
template for org-remember that sets the default folder to whatever the
current day of the week is.
Here's what I'm using now:
(setq org-remember-templates
(list (list '"Todo" '?t '"* TODO %?%^{To do} %^g\n :LOGBOOK:\n -
Added: %U\n :END:" '"d:/tmp/_my.todo" (format-time-string '"%A"))))
Works great, except for one problem. The (format-time-string) command is
executed once, when my .emacs is run, and thus becomes wrong by the time
midnight rolls around. Sure, I could create a macro so I could redefine
the variable every morning with a couple of keystrokes, but that's about
how many keystrokes I'm saving by not having to enter the day of the
week when I file it. :-)
Is there a way I can make that command evaluate at the time it is
invoked, rather than when it is defined? I vaguely recall doing
something like this, but that was five job roles, three houses, two
recessions, and two kids ago. :)
Thanks,
Keith
