  sachac: hey, remember I asked for something to draw FA's

 xypic and metapost, "dot" from graphviz

C-u M-x planner-create-task-from-buffer

dto on #emacs suggested a way to create tasks associated with planner pages.
Arch repository and dev snapshot should have working version of this.

Adding a prefix argument to M-x planner-create-task-from-buffer will
make it prompt for the plan page. If the plan page is different from
the current annotation, it will move the annotation into the
description of the task. Any other suggestions? =)

Hotshot — 55 words

Hotshot programmer fresh from college thinks he can do everything, eh?
I keep particularly nasty COBOL code for these special occasions. Just
because it’s on a computer doesn’t mean it’s legible. Looks like
English, but it’s worse than the Gordian knot. That’ll show him his
place – then maybe he’ll be willing to learn something.
