    with timeline view, too (plus it's not flash).

    Or, consume the data with MQL: http://tinyurl.com/yzl3lpo

    cool tool, it brings lots of memories :)

    it would be nice to have this for programming languages also…

    looks good (although interaction is a little sketchy in my computer: Mac OSX Firefox 3.5.7, back button not working)… not familiar with MQL but can definitely use that data

    I definitely want to provide some sort of API so people can read the data (events + relations) in my timeline
