The immediate thing, for which Timegrid should be perfect, is showing my activity log. Working remotely I need to report on my activity, but my own memory doesn't support recording that for more that a couple of hours ;-). So I've hacked a minimal little Java desktop app in which I can quickly enter what I'm doing right now and post it off to the store (the entries can be folksy-tagged, and I can also type them as to-do items with priorities... but it's still very rough - source is at : http://n2.talis.com/svn/playground/danja/quicklog/ ). I'm using a Talis Platform store, running a SPARQL query on the endpoint: http://api.talis.com/stores/danja-dev1/services/sparql - pushing that through an online XSLT service and rendering the result in Timegrid. I'm gluing the bits together using PHP. In the first instance I think I'll just do a broad SELECT, grab anything with a dc:date. Later I'll probably put together some more focussed queries, starting with just the activity log. I think Timegrid might lend itself to reuse on the Platform, if you take a look at the store search interface at: http://api.talis.com/stores/danja-dev1/items (try "quicklog" as a query string) the results are returned as enriched RSS 1.0 - it'd be nice to offer a Timegrid view as an alternative.
