in the Who Cares!?! department we have this: Bee might conceivably be
interested in a slightly fancier calendar, one with today's date
"circled", with the time of day under it, thrown into insertmode, all
by just pressing shift-F7

of course it uses python -- not a python enabled vim, but python needs
to be available

put the following in your vimrc:

nnoremap <silent> <S-F7> :call Acdmo()<CR>
inoremap <silent> <S-F7> <ESC>:call Acdmo()<CR>

function! Acdmo()
read! ~/py/currmo 38
let im = strftime("%H:%M")
call append(line("."), "")
call append(line("."), im)
call append(line("."), "")
normal 3j
startinsert
endfunction

and put

https://github.com/toothpik/toothpik-s-.vimrc/blob/master/py/currmo

in your ~/py path

it makes a nice blog header IMHO
