Hi Tomeu,

Patch looks great and should really be an improvement. Not sure we need the debug 
messages for the timers logging.debug('Remove date updating timer').

As a general note running a pylint for the journal would be nice as well (should do 
that for the browse now as well :). Though pylint output is not perfect yet it 
improves quality a bit.
