Would it be great if you could select ranges of blocks and assign a color to each range according to how you felt those days, i.e. green: good, yellow: not that good, red: not good.

I did something like this in past, with colors, and contrarily to the expectations it actually cheered me up to see all those green blocks making up a huge chunk of life.

Also, it reminded me of http://moriclock.com

Maybe I'm strange, but that seems totally useless to me, because I feel pretty much the same every day.

Reminds me of Pixar's Inside Out, where memories are portrayed as little colored spheres, with different colors indicating joy, sadness, disgust, fear, and anger. These spheres end up getting stored in enormous warehouses, with enormous splashes of various colors.

hehe just came here to post my project - moriclock! Cool to know people still remember it.

I like your idea of coloring of the blocks. I had big plans of turning it into some sort of journaling application.

I'm not sure what it's attempting to do, but the data it provided me was completely wrong. It was claiming there were only 6 days left in the year, for example. (It's April 10th, so there are many more than 6 days left.) It said 20 minutes left in the hour, but it's 8:22, so there's more like 38 minutes left. WTF?

Weird. Looks correct to me. Is it possible your system time is weird? It might be based off of that.

That did not cheer me up at all. Life's too short when you turn it into an empty rectangle.
