Have you tried the Gnome Time Tracking Tool (binary is called `gtt')?
On Tue, 12 Sep 2000, Michael R. Jinks spewed into the bitstream:
MRJ>Time tracking.
MRJ>
MRJ>I have never been able to do it. I really, really need to start, like,
MRJ>last week.
MRJ>
MRJ>I'm hoping that technology can solve my problems, but so far google has given
MRJ>me no cause for hope.
MRJ>
MRJ>What I'd like is a time tracking tool that will take as little of my own time
MRJ>and effort as possible to use. Something with a user interface about as
MRJ>complicated as a chess clock is what I'm after.
MRJ>
MRJ>I switch between tasks constantly; most of them involve the %$#@& Linux box
MRJ>one way or another; so it _should_ be simple for me to just keep a log open
MRJ>and take good notes. One would think.
MRJ>
MRJ>But somehow it just never happens. So I'm hoping that if I can find/make
MRJ>something that's _really_ easy to use, and which I can just leave stuck to
MRJ>my desktop, to stare at as neurotically as I stare at my CPU monitors, and
MRJ>to thump whenever I switch desktops... maybe I'd actually use the thing.
MRJ>
MRJ>If I were to write this thing myself, I'd probably make something like a
MRJ>GNOME- or Windowmaker-style docked app; something tiny that could optionally
MRJ>pop up a larger interface for when you actually want to pay attention to it
MRJ>(config time, defining new tasks, viewing logs and stats, etc.) but for which
MRJ>the normal mode of operation would be to mouse over, enter a keyboard code
MRJ>or quick mouse sequence selecting the task to switch to, mouse away, and
MRJ>we're off to the next thing.
MRJ>
MRJ>That would be ideal, I think. Close to that is great.
MRJ>
MRJ>Keen extra feature would be the ability to write notes or store arbitrary data
MRJ>and have that keyed to a moment in time. Shouldn't be too tough to tack that
MRJ>sort of functionality on to a system that already sits and watches the clock
MRJ>for you.
MRJ>
MRJ>Anyhow. Open to any kind of suggestions, and if this is an unmet need maybe
MRJ>it's time I quit grousing and wrote some code.
MRJ>
MRJ>
