Today I had to do some profiling of how long each phase of a software install took. The tool I was using printed output like this:
blah
I wanted to determine the difference between two timestamps. I had been reading the emacs calc manual and I noticed that calc supported hour-minute-second calculations. Furthermore, emacs org-mode has a spreadsheet that calls calc. A plan!
org-mode manual: http://orgmode.org/manual/index.html
problem with sum functions in org-mode tables: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org/6870504.html
avoid parsing calc HMS forms as ranges: as http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg08470.html
write up installing org-mode with aquamacs, including changing path to emacs in Makefile
