Developer Seif Lofty posted the following video of it in action and i can confirm that it as every-bit njoayble to use as it is to look at! Take a peek at the video - it's quite short - or skip directly to the installation instructions below.
How To Install Zeitgeist & GNOME Activity Journal In Ubuntu
I'm going to assume you already have bzr installed. If you don't then you'll need to install it. [You can click here to do so]
First you'll need to get and install Zeitgeist - the engine behind GAJ.
Open a terminal and carefully copy the following commands.
* bzr branch lp:gnome-zeitgeist
* cd gnome-zeitgeist
* ./autogen.sh
* make && sudo make install
Make Zeitgeist auto-start-up when you login to save you the hassle of manually starting it.
* System > Preferences > Startup Applications
* New Item
* Browse through to your Zeitgeist folder and select 'zeitgesit-daemon.py'
* Click 'okay'
Now let's grab the Activity Journal itself: -
* bzr branch lp:gnome-activity-journal
You can run it using: -
* cd gnome-activtiy-journal
* ./gnome-activity-journal
It may be helpful/easier for you to create a shortcut to the GNOME Activity Journal.
* Right-click the main menu on the upper GNOME panel
* Choose 'Edit Menus'
* Click 'Accessories' in the left hand pane
* Now click the 'New Item' button on the upper right hand side
* Give it a name (Like, maybe, 'GNOME Activity Journal'?)
* For the command you will need to click 'browse' and navigate to your GAJ directory
* select 'gnome-activity-journal' and click 'Ok'
Updating
You can easily update both Zeitgeist and GAJ by navigating to the relevant folders in a terminal and issuing 'bzr pull'.
