Christer,
I think what you want to do is similar to my "clock list" suggestion made to
the orgmode mailing list half an hour ago, only that I was looking for time
intervals rather than points in time. It's good to know I'm not the only one
looking for a feature of this kind.

Please look at my suggestion and tell how well it matches the feature you'd
like to see.
