Re: [O] org google weather
I put the diary-sunset and diary-sunrise functions in a file called sunrisesunset.el in my elisp directory, it is part of my load path and put '(require 'sunrisesunset) in my .emacs It only loads if I type M-x load-library RET sunrisesunset RET I am not sure why it isn't automatically loading like other files I have set the same way, the same holds true for org-google-weather, I ran the git, have it in my home directory and have it set up for require in my dotemacs but i still have to M-x load-library RET org-google-weather RET to get it to work in my agenda. I am running on cygwin with emacs 23.2 and with Org 7.4 (updated to make sure), I ended up putting the diary-sunrise and diary-sunset functions in my dot emacs and they work just fine but putting the contents of different .el files in my dotemacs file isn't a good long term solution. Any suggestions as to what I might look at or for? Matthew S

Re: [O] org google weather
Konrad, Being an elisp noob I had forgotten about the provide code in the .el file. That fixed that problem, THANK YOU so much. Now if I can figure out why I have to M-x load-library RET google-weather RET M-x load-library RET org-google-weather RET to get google weather to work with my agenda (though I am debating on leaving it this way and having a function load these two files as I am not always internet connected and it is annoying to wait for the network connection attempt to timeout 4 times for each day it attempts to retrieve the weather or maybe I should look and see if I can patch it to make it skip the other attempts if the first fails? but then I need to figure out how to get them to load automatically). I should just need to use the code in my dot emacs '(require 'google-weather) '(require 'org-google-weather) for it to work but that doesn't seem to do the trick, maybe i need to look in the code in those .el files. Bastien, to your question, I am trying to set some functions in other .el files so that I can break up differnt parts of code for the different parts of my .emacs file intsead of just adding more and more code.

Now if I can just get org-contacts to load correctly, void variable value, life will be great. I think I am starting to get the hang of this language. Matthew The main thing to remember is that quote inhibits evaluation: 'a gives you the symbol a whereas a without the quote gives you the *value* of a. Remember also that in lisp, you call a function func with arguments x and y like this: (func x y) - this calls the function func on the *values* of x and y and returns a function value (which of course depends on how the function is defined). OTOH, '(func x y) is a list of three elements: func, x and y. So '(require 'google-weather) does nothing whereas (require 'google-weather) calls the function require with the symbol google-weather as its argument. OTOH, the incorrect (require google-weather) would call the same function with the *value* of the symbol google-weather as its argument. Since the symbol has no value, you'd get an error. Hope this makes things a bit clearer, but there is nothing like getting an elementary book on Lisp (or the Emacs Lisp introductory tutorial which should be available in your emacs or online). As for org-contacts, I just did a git pull (from git://git.naquadah.org/org-contacts.git) and I was able to load it with no problems. Also I don't see a variable named value in the file, so either your report of the error is inaccurate or your version is older. Try the latest version and if you still have problems, checkout out section 1.4, Feedback, of the Org manual to find out how to produce a useful backtrace - then post that to the list. Nick

Right, you just need to write a function ;-) I guess I wasn't clear enough either, because that's what my proposal is about as well. My idea is 1) Use some property (or tag) to mark events in an org-file as day view only. 2) Write an org-agenda-skip-function that checks for that property/tag AND checks the value of org-agenda-span. What keeps me from writing that function right now is that I don't know the internals of org-mode well enough to know how to check for a propery or tag.

Re: [O] org google weather
The sunrise and sunset strings have been available in the diary functions for EMACS for a long time; and, the new code above you've made for inserting them into the weather strings in OrgMode agendas is great too. Thanks and I look forward to using it. Now, is there any simple way, maybe with the (require 'google-weather) that one can get the twilight times too--the 6 degrees of earth rotation before sunrise and after sunset when there is still sunlight outside but no sun to be seen? (I like to play soccer at that time sometimes.) (I think twilight depends on lat-lon location too though)
