I am an idiot. This proposal below is actually already how the  
preview pane works today, as spec'd out by design for 0.6.

Instead, Jeffrey and I are proposing that we remove @time and anytime  
events from the minicalendar busy-bars...because the busybars are  
supposed to reflect how busy you are on any given day and @time and  
anytime events don't actually have specified durations.

Thanks for your patience.
