20e426dc69 Remove journal files config
I don't use these anymore, instead I hand-write stuff on my e-ink
tablet like the techno-contrarian qípā that I am.

** Journal Files
Sometimes I like to make a todo list for a day if I've a lot to do,
or write a little bit about a day if it's been particularly
eventful. In both of these cases, it would be nice to just be able
to hit a particular keybinding and have the right buffer pop up. I
was using =org-roam='s daily notes feature for this, but I ended up
getting annoyed with =org-roam= (too many features for my taste
lol).
The convention I'm going for is for is having a particular
directory for these journal entries and then give each file a name
like "2022-10-30.org". With that in mind, there are two obvious
variables to define:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar journal-directory
"~/Documents/org/journal"
"Directory to store journal entries in.")
(defvar journal-filename-format
"%F"
"Date format to use for journal entries' filenames (not including
the \".org\" extension)")
#+end_src
I can't be bothered to handle [[help:journal-directory][journal-directory]] not existing in the
main code, so I'm just going to make sure it exists here. The
second argument to [[help:make-directory][make-directory]] specifies to create parent
directories too if necessary.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(unless (file-directory-p journal-directory)
(make-directory journal-directory t))
#+end_src
The next step is to define a function to determine the filename for
today's journal entry. This is fairly straightforward, using
[[help:format-time-string][format-time-string]] to get the current date in the right format,
then sticking that together with the directory, extension, etc.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun journal-entry-filename ()
"Returns the filename for today's journal entry."
(let ((date-string (format-time-string journal-filename-format)))
(concat journal-directory "/" date-string ".org")))
#+end_src
If the journal entry doesn't exist yet, I want it to be populated
with the long-form date as the title:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar journal-title-date-format
"%A, %-e %B %+4Y"
"The date format to use for journal entries' titles.")
(defun insert-default-journal-entry-contents ()
"Insert the default journal entry contents (currently this is
just today's long-form date as a title) into the current buffer."
(insert "#+TITLE: "
(format-time-string journal-title-date-format)
"\n\n"))
#+end_src
We can now make a function to open today's journal entry fairly
trivially using [[help:find-file][find-file]], and the above utilities. It should be
interactive, as this is what we'll be calling in the key binding.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun open-journal-entry ()
"Opens today's journal entry, populating it with the default
contents if it does not already exist."
(interactive)
(let* ((filename (journal-entry-filename))
(new-entry (not (file-exists-p filename))))
(find-file filename)
(when new-entry
(insert-default-journal-entry-contents))))
#+end_src
Finally, [[help:open-journal-entry][open-journal-entry]] can be bound to a key:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c t") 'open-journal-entry)
#+end_src
