That is exactly the information I want to have, but this only inserts an
entry in today's agenda without any timestamps.

I think the problem, as Eric explained earlier, is that the diary sexp
method only expects t or nil. So the string your function returns is
treated as true and a corresponding entry is inserted in the agenda
buffer for today. I think I would still need to insert the current time
in the time-grid as Carsten suggested earlier.

A weakly related question, how does one check/debug diary sexps?
Evaluating in the scratch buffer always gives me a "void variable date"
error. Replacing `date' with `(calendar-current-date)' however works
fine in the scratch buffer.

Thanks for all the suggestions. :)
