What I'd like to do is something like 'M-x journal' that opens my/a journal file, inserts a date/timestamp and I can start editing under the date/timestamp. Anyone know of something like this for Emacs? Or how about just a function I could use that would insert the date/time (and I'll just use bookmarks for the journal file)? I'm most interested in just being able to insert the date into a buffer. I tried looking for some existing function in Emacs to allow me to do that but I don't find anything. Thanks...
