Need software recommendation
-
I need to record time spent on a specific project. I'm not working continuously on the project, but put in an hour here, five minutes there etc, and it's becoming quite tedious writing down all the time spent and adding it together. So I'm looking for a simple stopwatch application. Plenty of those around, with nice GUIs, floating on top windows (which I don't want in this case, but I can see why some people would think it's nice) etc, but all I've find is missing the feature I want the most: I want to be able to start and stop it by clicking its icon in the system tray so that I don't have to spend additional time locating the GUI window to start and stop it. Anybody has any suggestions? And to anticipate the obvious reply: Yes, I COULD roll my own in a matter of hours, but why would I want to spend even a couple of hours reinventing something that already exists? Apart from that, I know myself too well: If I made my own application, I would spend hours and hours improving, polishing, tweaking, etc. Time that could be well spend doing the real task instead....

I wouldn't know... I don't have normal television and I don't watch soccer, except from some EM or WM with friends in the biergarten, what right now would be a bit difficult.

That is a very interesting concept. It wouldn't work for me, because I work on different projects using the same applications. But apart from that, I like the idea... :cool: :thumbsup:

Mark TwainYes, this is what I was afraid of - When they wanted to implement a similar software in our area, our SW guys said - "All fine, but I am only doing Visual Studio for different projects all day" :-D

That Bob and his hamsters are powerful and can bring hell to life if you don't behave properly... is something out of doubt. But I am not sure if transmutation is in the list of their abilities... :laugh:

Please do it. And put a link to the download. Should be free, of course. I could really use something like this. And I am sure many others could too. You'd earn the respect and eternal gratitude of all of us. I use KeePass and feel the same way about the developer that created it. If I ever met him I would thank him personally. I have been programming for 44 years and I'm still learning somethin new almost every day. I don't think I could do an app like this. though. :|
Yeah! You right!

Seeing that it takes only 45 minutes, you should have posted it 4 hours ago! :doh: Bet mine is better...

My dessert is usually Vanilla ice-cream. ;P Seriously I will be on the lookout for the example.
Things are never as bad as they seem. They are usually a lot worse.
