### Smart timestamps:
If we start our entry by e.g. `yesterday:` or `last week monday at 9am:` the entry's date will automatically be adjusted.
Timestamps that work:
* at 6am
* yesterday
* last monday
* sunday at noon
* 2 march 2012
* 7 apr
* 5/20/1998 at 23:42
If no timestamp is detected, the entry will be created now.
