Thanks for the response. Very helpful.

I figured out since writing it rom light research on column view and the
helpful column view video on the emacs site):

1. Parse the daily files to AST  (can do this now via a function)
2. Convert the "yaml-ed" fields to :PROPERTY: "drawer" fields (after
looking at the Column video on the emacs website)
3. Dump to a temp buffer with the column definition somewhat like what you
outlined ahead of it to render (though was not sure how to pass the fields
dynamically, but figured could start with fixed)

However, I figured this has to be a common enough(ish) thing that people
need to do that it might already been a code snippet function (or even a
package) floating around. So, this was more a "does this look like a
problem someone has already solved" and where is that package/code kinda
question. =]   #lazyweb

Otherwise, I'll just wander off and attempt coding it myself over le
weekend. =]

thanks!
Daryl.
