this is sort of related to this other question...
If I want to look at recent activity, it works great... except for when I look at it early in the morning, and it doesn't show posts within the last 24 hours under the default "recent activity" post. So I look at the "this week" page, which works great... except on Sunday or Monday when it doesn't work well because it's a new week.
Is there any way to have it default to just the past N days (where N = 2 or 3 or 7 sounds like a good number)? "this week" and "last week" and "today" and "yesterday" don't seem to have much value. I really just would like to see activity that is "recent" and that depends far more on a fixed timeframe relative to the present, than a periodic timeframe that shuffles in and out of phase as time goes by.
