The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

I found it more enjoyable than the previous novel, but was jarred in a few places by anachronistic phrases. (Unfortunately, I neglected to note them as I read, other than the use of the word "petrichor", which sounds Lovecraftian, but dates to 1964.)

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
