Hi all,

It's wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

(I have wanted to look into this book for a while; Does anybody have a
(preferably Emacs lisp) macro for extending available hours beyond
'24'?)

This macro will be available in Emacs 25.

BTW, did you know that human internal biological clock runs on a cycle
of 25 hours that is closer to the length of the solar day on Mars.

A reference for that, please? (Not challenging, I'm genuinely interested.)

Which says that the 25-hour figure is inaccurate, the truth being "24
hours and 11 minutes ± 16 minutes".

And since the Earth's rotation is slowing down at a long-term rate of
about 2.3 ms per solar day per century, our circadian clocks on average
are tuned for Earth time about 30 million years from now.  Those who
believe in intelligent design are hereby forewarned ...

(The "2.3 ms" comes from <http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/dutc.html>.)
