Re: Worldcup + time zone question

[Juan Pechiar <pechiar@computer.org>]

Here is a quick and dirty function to update all timestamps in a
buffer by N hours:

8<----------------------------------------

(defun uphours ( n )
  "update all timestamps n hours"
  (interactive "nAdd hours: ")
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
     (while (re-search-forward "[[<]" nil t)
       (when (org-at-timestamp-p t)
         (org-timestamp-change n 'hour)
         ))))

8<----------------------------------------

S.Africa is UTC+2. To change to UTC-3 call with -5 as argument.

Use and modify as needed.
