Thanks to the Zeitgeist Project Team we have 2 good news today
GNOME Activity Journal 0.3.2 – Luciana’s Tricycle
On behalf of the Zeitgeist Project team, after 1 year, 3 months, and 9 days since the first prototype, I am proud to announce the first development release of GNOME Activity Journal, codenamed “Luciana’s Tricycle”.
What is GNOME Activity Journal?
GNOME Activity Journal is not a File Browser but an Activity Browser. It uses the Zeitgeist Framework to display what you did, and introduces a better way to quickly find the things you were doing.

Zeitgeist 0.3.2 – Shadowy Rumble
On behalf of the Zeitgeist Project team, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Zeitgeist 0.3.2. This is the third development release, leading up to what will be our stable 0.4 series. It introduces bug fixes and other performance optimizations to work with GNOME Activity Journal.
What is Zeitgeist?
Zeitgeist is an event-logging framework for desktop and mobile devices. Applications can push events into the log, and anyone can query the log via the rich query API. The logged events are semantically categorized and can come from any sort of activity, such as file usage, communications, and browsing history, etc. The Zeitgeist engine is a user-level service and does not have a GUI. It is intended to support dedicated journaling applications aand deep integration with other desktop components.

News since 0.3.1
- Added FindEvents, optimized shorthand for GetEvents(FindEventIds(…)).
- Fixed DeleteEvents and make it ignore bad requests.
- Fixed GetEvents not to raise an exception when called with an empty list.
- ZeitgeistClient.get_version() now returns a Python list.
- Some code refactoring, documentation changes and other little fixes.
Cheers,
Seif Lotfy

Nice! My main comment is that right now the interface is too “day-oriented”. It focuses on answering the question: what did I do on this specific day?
I would like to also be able to answer questions like:
- What was that attachment I downloaded about 2 weeks ago?
- Where did I move that file that I worked on last month?
- What documents did I work on most, this past month? (a histogram plot of how often each document was accessed would be nice…)
- Where did I get this file from?
How these would be implemented in the GUI, I’m not sure
Although Thunderbird 3’s new search feature seems like a nice starting point…
@randal: thanks, running it now.
seems to lack the ability to search chrome’s history, but besides it’s a super great start
Will probably love this very much.
@anon: that may be true.
light right now i am sitting on the pc from about 8pm to 4 am, so maybe it get those “sessions”.
and yeah, that TB stuff is nifty
man, using it for 20 min and loving the way it works.
totally awesome once it will work together with tracker (waiting for 0.7 stable release or sth recent) and then tags
on last thing, and then I will stop spamming here
Can you make the nice icon you already have, show in the window and then also in docky? thx
I can help you with the Spanish translation, mail me if you need help with that, cheers!

And the future is looking bright, I added new side button code and fixed a few bugs with the histogram’s today button. It is looking sweet.
Hello,
I installed GAJ on Ubuntu Jaunty using the zeitgeist PPA. After installation, I am able to start up GAJ but there is nothing in it. I logged out and back in, but no use. How do I make it work?
