Show date of last build

Hey,

Awesome project! Failing builds are bad, but what is really bad are builds that aren't running. If you added a date of last build feature it would help a ton.

Thanks!

Hey @jzmodmed and thanks for your kind words! That is a very good point :) I see your pull request does not include any code changes though?

Thanks,
Jan

Hi!
I agree, this would be very useful and make this project even greater! 👍

I changed the display around to show time since the last build in this fork:

BTW: -0 for the patch. The patch will update the interval since the last build every 5 seconds. On a screen with 24 jobs this is quite noisy. I would suggest either switching to updating the interval every n minutes only or to just provide a static timestamp, which would be sufficient for my needs.

@jzmodmed, @kstevens - I've just implemented a fix based on your feedback and the pull request.
I'd love to hear what you, @KamuiShiro, @owenmead, @lapozzo, @highflying, @mfriedenhagen, @stephencsmall, @bernardomaciel and others think about the latest build.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Looking perfect on my test Jenkins server. I like the use of a relative "X days/hours/minutes ago" type display. This makes it easily readable on the fly.

Can't wait until it goes into update center so we can put it on our production instance!

Looks good to me, thanks :-)
