Hello

Does anyone know of a package that creates a "My Emacs" start buffer.  I 
am thinking of something along the lines of personalized start pages many 
web sites offer, like My Yahoo.

A read-only buffer that is automaticlly created and displayed upon emacs 
start up, that could display the date & time, if today is a holiday, a 
couple of your appointments, how many emails you have, a random quote, a 
tip of the day, etc.

Don't know how to do that but I asked more or less the same question a 
couple of weeks ago.

I scooped up a useful tip-of-the-day function here on the list, but it 
starts in its own buffer when I would like it to start on the splash 
screen. My splash screen obviously does stuff but I don't know where 
it's located.

Nice idea. One part of that buffer could be cal-desk-calendar, a kind
of an "agenda for today".

ELL lists 
  http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=wkr9oviig9.fsf%40rochester.rr.com&output=gplain
but apparently there is at least a version 0.5 out there.  Seems to
be unmaintained though.

HTH,
