I'm giving a presentation to a group this week. The presentation will have
many code samples I'll be sharing from emacs.

I have a few functions I call to modify my environment (remove
color-themes/modify font and size) specifically for presentations.

I'd like to create a function that will load my alternative settings IF that
day is the day of my presentation. What I have is not working:


; this would trigger for today
(if (equal "20101102" (format-time-string "%Y%m%d))
    (presentation-font)
)

Thanks in advance.

That works when I try it, aside from the fact that you're missing a "
after the d.  Maybe you have a different version?  Try string-equal
instead of equal.
