zone-quotes

A zone program to display quotes from a specific collection

Installation

Manual

Save the file zone-quotes.el to disk and add the directory containing it to load-path using a command in your .emacs file like:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/")

The above line assumes that you've placed the file into the Emacs directory '.emacs.d'.

Start the package with:

(require 'zone-quotes)

Marmalade

If you have Marmalade added as a repository to your Emacs, you can just install zone-quotes with

M-x package-install zone-quotes RET

Usage

Specify the quotes you want, to be shown while zoning out

(zone-quotes-set-quotes (list "'I don't need luck. I have ammo.' - Grunt"
                              "'Is submission not preferable to extinction?' - Saren"
                              "'Having a bad day Shepard?' - Liara"))

Set zone-pgm-quotes as one of the zone programs

(setq zone-programs
      [zone-pgm-quotes])

and activate zoning by specifying a delay

(zone-when-idle 30)

Alternatively, you can run zone-quotes directly

(zone-quotes)
