I had heard somewhere that Emacs could be used to log your hours. Until now
I have not find anything about this. Does someone have a pointer?

You should check out timeclock on the emacswiki. Here is the url:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/TimeClock

It is a part of emacs. Try this:

C-h i

which will open info at the dir node. Then do

m

and enter

emacs

when it asks for a menu entry. Then do

s

for a search. When it asks for what you want to search enter

timeclock

There is timeclock. The basic feature of timeclock is
that you can log in (M-x timeclock-in) and out (M-x
timeclock-out) and timeclock updates a list (M-x
timeclock-visit-timelog) of the respective entries.

timeclock.el will do this for you.

I like to use planner-mode, which also uses timeclock.el to record time spent
on various tasks and can be used to generate day based and project based
reports. See the emacs wikki for information on both timeclock.el and
planner-mode <http://www.emacswiki.org>
