Hi Alex Thanks for the suggestion. The TaskTimerPlugin looks interesting but seems to be most useful for when you are timing activities while you have access to your Wiki. In my case, however, I want to enter the times that I have spent doing other activities which are almost always done away from a computer. So, sadly, TaskTimerPlugin won't solve my particular problem.
