First things first: Org mode is great! Org is the reason I started using emacs a few months ago. Thanks for this fine software. I am using the column view very often and added several columns to my org-file using this line ,---- | #+COLUMNS: %35ITEM %4TODO %1PRIORITY %19SCHEDULED %10TAGS %5ESTIMATE{:} | %5CLOCKSUM `---- I am still experimenting quite a bit and my question is: Is there a simple way to cut the year out of the scheduled column? Right now, it displays e.g. like this: 2008-10-10 Mi 13:15. Can this be cut down to something like 10-10 Mi 13:15 ? I do not plan years ahead ;) And another question related to the Agenda View. I dislike scheduling everything. I have got some Items I work on whenever I need a break. These Items do not get a real timestamp because I can not say before when I will work on them. But, if I do, I often spend some hours on them. Of course, I still clock them. Orgmode provides this nice timeline view, but this only displays tasks with time-stamped items. Using column view, it provides even more useful information. Is there a way to have a timeline that focuses not on time-stamped items but on the clocked time? Thus showing me when and how long I actually worked on items and not when I planned to do so?

If anyone out there has a simple solution or a different "workflow" to adopt and achieve this, your suggestion would be very much appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day ;)
