Description

I suggest two additions:

after each entry, add how long ago it was made: ex. (30 seconds ago), (3 minutes ago)
separate entries in sections by adding horizontal rulers, just like instant messengers do with history, ex: ----- 5 minutes ago -----, ----- 2 hours ago -----

This way it will be much easier to read these lists if one is looking only for the recent changes. And I also see this as a very easy thing to implement.

(I know the timestamps exist, but one needs to know the current time and perform some calculation in order to determine how long ago changes were made)

Would be the Pager code I guess. You could probably achieve something like this with gadgets...

Some JavaScript should be able to easily achieve this.
