We released Zeitgeist 0.7 “All I have is this woodchuck” today, which comes with major performance improvements.
Fetching events is AT LEAST twice as fast and in some cases its around 10 times as fast as the 0.6 release.
Also inserting events is twice as …
I am blessed with some amazing team. The magnificent Cando just finished a new view for Activity Journal. It took me by surprise since all I did was suggest this view to be done, then he showed me what I thought is a mockup. Only it wasn’t check it out on his blog. Basically …

This is not a MOCKUP … IT IS WORKING CODE…
Let’s see where this will go. Stay tuned.
