Another alternative might be to let the user give the threshold and time-
period they want at view-time!  :-)  Someone in a super-hurry who only stops
in once a month might want to set the threshold to 95 and 30 days.  Someone
who dips in quick daily for 20 minutes might want a threshold of 75 and
1 1/2 days.  And someone who has been away on holiday for a week might want
to set the threshold to 50 and 8 days.  Would that be useful?

Whoa -- dang -- I didn't realize how easy this would actually be to do when
I wrote that.  Here's something sorta like that (it goes back a maximum of

Yes, please.  But I personally would like to see that as possibly an
additional choice and to always have a "standard" daily spotlight.  I know
all I would have to do is innput the right values and I could get it myself,

OK, try that thingie there above -- just click up that URL.  It defaults
(right now) to 1 day and a threshold of 65.  Subject to tweaking later,
naturally.  Ideally the threshold for Spotlight should be 75-ish, but things
need time to adjust.


but I liked the Spotlight page being a kind LUGNET daily journal, a record
of sorts.

ya, it needs to be able to instantly generate a page for any given day, eh?

OK, something for later.  This is just proof-of-concept for now, sorta.
Boy, if this works, this will really save time.
