echotime.el: Time, date, and battery info in Emacs echo area

echotime is a small Emacs function that will display the date, time of day, and battery information in the echo area, on command. Both local time and UTC time are displayed.

I bind it to a key sequence, like so:

(global-set-key "\C-ct" 'echotime)

I wrote echotime a long time ago, when spending most of my time shuffling around town, trying to find power for my little old laptop, and conserving power by not running much other than Emacs. I'm releasing it because I still find it a convenient way to check this information.

You can download file echotime.el, version 1.0 (2009-10-25).
