Adobe fiend for failing to Flash
if S-<ret> means hold the shift key down then hit return, in emacs
org-mode 7.9.2 this key combination did not increment the date stamp.
When I keyed in the date stamp, I did it by hand keying in all of the
required characters myself since a couple of the dates are already in the
past. Could that have prevented proper date incrementing? Could I get
around this block by entering the first date stamp as <today -2d> and then
trying shift-return from there on out to get the other needed dates in the
log?
